riBSTCAHP CALL
MANY RECRUITS FROM UNIVER
SITY FOR FORT 8NELLING
tx y 'her General Call Today
Examinations Suspended at
10 Last Night
Over 150 students, alumni, and
faculty men were selected In the
first general call of recruits for Tort
Snelling according to an unofficial list
given out in the press yesterday. Half
ss many are expected to be called to
day. With the first call for recruits came
an order to Captain Parker from the
department at Chicago suspending
further examination of candidates
after 10 o'clock last night. N'lneteen
had qualified for camp at 6 o'clock
yesterday, itaaking a total 'of 519
passed and 102 disqualified. Sixty
were yet to be examined.
, Instructors to Go
Among those called yesterday were
Prof. B. M. Buck, of the department of
rhetoric; S. D. Babbitt, an Instruc
tor in the department of rhetoric, and
Sergeants Wirth and Sullivan, assist
ants in the office of the commandant.
Orders to report to camp came by
mail and called for the immediate de
parture of the recruits. Commenting
upon the phrase "at once" employed
in the order Captain Parker pointed
out the fact that recruits were ex
pected to leave as quickly as possible
after they have been notified, by 24
hours at the outside.
All of those who were called yes
terday are said to have been from
among those applicants whose certifi
cates were graded "A" in the classifi
cation "A." "B." and "C." It Is the
belief of Captain Parker that all of
the "A' men from Nebraska nave not
yet been called because the first batch
of certificates was not graded until
after some of the later applications.
Following is the list of the Univer
sity men included In the first call;
Alfred I,. Adams Harry T. Pressly

President Wilson Writes of Value
Service on Mexican Border
Shown by Statistics
Probably no phase of the war is
more serious, in -ew of the future
of America, than the moral, ethical
and spiritual conditions of the train
ing and mobilization camps. The
Young Men's Christian association is
practically the only power in the field
to meet the opposing forces. Its
place in the national policies is as
sured and its friends are encouraged
by the following letter from President
Wilson:
"The White House, Washington,
D. C, April 25, 1917. My Dear Doc
tor Mott: May I not. In view of
the approaching meeting of the war
work council, express to you the
very high value I have attached to
the work which has been accom
plished by the Young Men's Chris
tian association in behalf of our
own army and navy as well as in
behalf of the prisoners of war and
the men in the training camps of
Europe, and may I not express also
my sincere personal interest in tho
large plans of the war work council
for the work which is still ahead of
the association? Cordially and
faithfully yours,
"WOODROW, WILSON."
The way in which the association
has met the needs of the past and
proven its right to a place in the pres
