THIRD INCREMENT
OF DRAFTED MEN

About 200,000 Men Being Mo
. bilized at Sixteen Canton
ments; Local Conditions
Cut First Estimate.
Washington, Oct. 3. About 200,000
men, representing the third incre
went to the army, today are on their
way to sixteen cantonments, where
already halt tne o,wu cauea to tne
colors by the president are mobilized.
Although today's quota should be 40
per cent under regulations, promul
gated by the provost marshal general,
local conditions in the various states
have reduced the general average of
the increment to 20 or 25 per cent
Coincident with the start of the
third division of the new national army
for the training camps today, the rail
road's war board issued a statement in
tonnection with the part which the
railroads have played in handling the
biggest troop movement ever , at
tempted in this country.
. Have Moved 720.000 Men
Including the National Gurd, the
regular army and -the new national
army, the railroads to date have
moved approximately 720,000. soldiers
from their homes to training camps
or embarkation points,," says the
statement. .
' "The great bulk of this,army all of
It in fact except the 32,549 men In
cluded in the first 5 per cent of the
national army that moved by regular
train- on September 5 required spe
cial train service, involving the use of
13,500 passenger cart, including 1,500
Pullman and tourist sleepers, 2,000
baggage cars and 4,500 freight cars.
, : Longest Haul 1,514 Miles. -'1
"The longestbaul made In the new
national army movement to date was
that of the special train which moved
the citizen soldiers from Yuma, Ariz.,
to Fprt Rijey, Kan., a distance of 1,514
miles. The trip' occupied forty-eight
bours. .' - '
i "Practically all of the national
guard movements to date have been
of great length. The longest one was
s that made by a battalion of San Fran
cisco engineers from San Francisco,
Cal., to a point on the Atlantic coast.
.This battalion included 506 men and
eighteen? officers. They occupied a
special train comprising one standard
sleeper, nine tourist sleepers, one bag
gage car, two kitchen cars and three
box cars. Their train left San Fran

, Definite figures are stijl lacking as
to the number of selected men to be
transferred to the national guard, avi
ation service, medical corps or other
branches of the army that will have
to be filled up to war strength. It is
certain, however, that the men re
maining at the camps will not be suf
ficient to fill the sixteen national army
divisions to full strength.
Secretary Baker indicated today
that no decision had been reached as
to when a second call will be made.
There are many deficiencies, to be
filled up in the first draft, physical
examination of the selected men by
army doctors at the camps having re
sulted in many objections. ,
. Remainder May Be Examined.
Decision of the War department on
the suggestion that the remaining
7,000,000 registered men be examined
immediately and classified for service
in order that they may have knowl
edge of when to expect a call to the
colors and arrange their affairs ac
cordingly awaits action by congress
on the war deficiency bill.
Secretary Baker said today that of
some thirty-five governors who had
been asked if they believed it was ex
pedient to proceed with the examina
tion of all registered men, only two
had opposed the plan. Thse who did
did so on the ground that it would
make too great a demand on the time
of the examining boards, virtually all
the members of which are serving
without pay.

ernors of Ak-Sar-Ben, riding magnif
icent horses and clad in their white
broadcloth and 'sash in the colors of
the .reason. Bands were , freely
sprinkled throughout the procession,
so that the great caravan of light and
color was never without music. Hun
dreds of loyal knights of the realm
rode in the procession, managing spir
ited mounts with one hand, while the
other held the shield.
The first float bore, the title of the
pageant, 'The Triumph of Democ
racy." Kings, kaisers, sultans and
other divine right rulers were seen
trying to sleep, while around their
beds big guns were in action and vile
serpents writhed and whipped their
shining tails, so that it was plain to
see that "Uneasy lies the head that
wears the crown."
1 William Tell Shoots Apple.
"Switzerland, the First Modern
Republic," was the title of the second
float. William Tell was here shown
shooting the apple from the head of
his son and thus saving his own life,
while in another part of the float was
shown the celebrated Arnold Winkel.

them.
"The Storming of the Bastite" was
the title of the third float The cele

shown with its towering walls and its
deep moat, but the people were seen
storming the walls and tearing down

the friends of liberty wKb had been
imprisoned by the kings for many cen

fifth float. Independence hall in Phil
adelphia was here shown, and in an
interior view the patriots were seated
around a table just in the act of sign
ing the immortal document.

Down With the King." King George
III on horseback was seen in the cen
ter of the float. This figure represent
ed a statue, while a lot of American

and a boy with fife and drums are
seen here representing the "Spirit of
76." Betsy Ross was seen in the rear
putting the last stitches upon the
cloth that eventually became the Stars
and Stripes. Early flags of the colonies
draped .the float.
"Liberty" was the title of the
eighth float. Independence hall, where
the Declaration of Independence was
signed, was here shown. The Liberty
bell was represented, and the great
statue of Liberty in New York harbor
was correctly represented.
"The Emancipation Proclamation"
came next. The outstanding figure
was that of Lincoln reading the
emancipation proclamation, and
thereby freeing the-black race from
the shackles of slavery in America. A
union soldier in the union blue stood
at attention beside a bust of Lincoln,
and other symbols of justice'and his
tory were shown.
Dewey at Manila, v
Float No. 10 represented "De,wey
at Manila." The flagship Olympia was
the main figure on the float. Colum
bia was seen at the rear of the float
enlightening the Philippines, and the
coat of arms of Dewev was evident.
The eleventh float was "Cuba, the
Pearl of the Antilles." ; Cuba is seated
in a seashell, drawn ,by dolphins.
Coats of arms and flags of Cuba be
decked the float, and the young re
public sat serenely enjoying the. lib
erty brought to it by the righteous
intervention of the United. States. .
"The Army" was represented in the
twelfth float. Uncle Sam's fighting
men were here seen in the trenches in
the act of firing guns. Serene and
calm above them, the figure of Vic
tory loomed, calmly awaiting the end
of the strife, when the great battle
should be ended in favor of the sol
diers of America. -
' Sea Fihters.
The thfrteenth float . represented
"The Navy " With brawny. arni . and
determined eye, Uncle Sam stood at
the helm of the battleship, "while
Columbia, enthrpned, held in her hand
the trident, the symbol of power over
the wave.
The fourteenth float represented
"Our Army of the Air." Our army
of the air was represented as the
American eagle, attacking with beak
and talon the submarine menace
and destroying it. An aviator, and a
pair of huge wings, symbolical of
aerial achievement, were seen.
"Our Allies" were represented in
float No. IS. Mars, the god of war,
letting loose the dogs of war, was seen
in the float. Ahead of them in martial
array stood many figures of soldiers
of the allied countries in uniform,
ready to grve battle in the interest of

Soldiers of Mercy.
"The Red Cross," float No. 16,

ground, being ministered to by the
nurses of the Red Cross. Red Cross
dogs, stretcher bearers, surgeons and
nurses were numerous in this float, all
working in harmony to alleviate the
suffering of war.
The seventeenth float, was entitled
"Peace." The prophet Isaiah was
here beating the swords into plow
stares, and the spears into pruning
hooks. The dove of peace was evi
dent, and the horn of plenty was
everywhere seen, showing that the
world will produce enough for all

their energies upon production under
the wing of peace and harmony.
Then came the King on the eight
eenth and last float. His Majesty,
King Ak-Sar-Ben XXXIII, was seated
on a gorgeous throne, which throne
itself rested upon the ruins of a
gigantic crown, thus showing that
King AkSar-Ben of today is a demo
cratic king, and has overridden the
divine right advocates, seating him
self upon their crown, and ruling a
land of plenty with the benign hand
of benevolence instead of the mailed
fist kof tyranny.
When the throne float reached the
city hall at Eighteenth, and Farnam
streets, Mayor James . C. Dahtman
was waiting there tourn over the
key of the city to the'new monarch.
The float paused fof a moment while'
the mayor presented the key.' The
king accepted it graciously, the six
white horses clanjted -.forward, and
the float moved on, rolling the rest
of the gorgeous caravan to the utter
most ends of the long line of march,
while the endless thousands cheered
and cheered again and again.

Notice how entirely dif
ferent it looks from any
other . soap product you
have ever seen. -v
Nothing like it has -ever
before been manu
factured. It is not a soap powder!
Not a chipped soap! Not
a; cake. But wonderful
flakes! ' Notice how deli

pure each flake is.
The modern form of soap
This is the form in which
the woman of today de
mands ; soap delicate
flakes in whiclris concen
trated the greatest pos
sible cleansing value.
Cleans without rubbing
Throw the flakes into
hot water; whisk into a
lather; instantly you get
just the rich, thick suds
you have always wanted. .
Then work the clothes
; about in these suds; no
rubbing is necessary.
You will never use cake
or chip soap for these
uses again
. For fine laundering,
soap should never be
rubbed directly on the
article. This coarsens and
discolors the fabric. For
this reason Lux is a tre
mendous advance over
every other form of soap.
Once you have tried it,
you will never be satisfied
' with anything else for
fine laundering. ,
