Y„ and at Portland, Me., there being two camps at each place, the first from June 30 to July 28 and the second from Aug. 2 to Aug. 30. In the Central Department there will be seven senior camps three at Fort Snelling. Minn., and two each at Fort Riley, Kan., and Fort D. ,A. Russell, Wyo.

The dates of the camps in the Southern and Western Departments can be had by writing to the department headquarters in San Antonio and San Francisco. "The War Department," the notice issued yesterday reads, "is preparing to take care of 50,000 or more men for the 1917 training camps, and thf association expects to continue its work on a still larger scale than here tofore and provide at least that num ber of men. Details of camps and enrollment blanks will be mailed to those desiring them as soon as the Government prepares them. "The only way this large number of men can be obtained will be through the active, hearty help and active co-operation of each and every ] training camp man. We feel that there is a peculiar duty resting upon 1 all training camp men to do what: they can, each according to his in dividual power and means to further this work. The training camps have received the unqualified indorsement not only of the men themselves who have attended them, but of the War Department and of the country at large." The statement also deals with the | universal service campaign in this country. As expressed, this is the attitude of the Training Camps As sociation: "We are not trying to build up a new volunteer force. We do not be-! lieve in a volunteer system. We are ; trying to bring about a universal and j democratic system of military ser vice, and we will stick at it until we succeed. We firmly believe that this is coming. Our national safety re quires it. Men who opposed it a year ago are to-day heartily in favor of it, and the number in favor of it i continually grows. As the matter may 1 be brought up at any time before Congress, it is of vital importance! that every member of the association ! use his utmost influence to further such legislation."

The menu, with explanations, fol lows: Pituitaries on half shell, pseudo- - mucinous (oysters); appendices I (celery), gall stones (olives), pericar- ! dial effusion, clear, straw-colored i (soup); broiled embryos on toast, 1 Weinberg-Hecht negatives (chicken);, opsinios and biceptors (vegetables), j gangrenous salad, caseous degener- j ation (salad), ascitic fluid, Q. S. (cof- i fee-. There was a national cocktail as I an appetizer and also unhelmolized i grape juice, which is not the kind of grape juice "Bill" Bryan drinks.

The physicians present were leading prac titioners, specialists and college pro fessors of St. Louis. Stolen Kiss to Cost Defendant SIOO or More Rochester, N.

Fifteen! years ago, when she was a young girl, Miss Blanche M. Fownes, of St. John, New Brunswick, visited her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Keith, in Denver. Here she met Ben W. Mc- Closkey, a young mining man just setting out for Arizona on his chosen ' career. They fell in love and it was ar- 1 ranged'that they would be married, when the prospective bride grew up and when the young mining man had made his strike. Unforeseen events were to befall, destined to postpone the wedding. After her visit to Denver the girl | went to India with her parents. They I lived there a number of years. Mean- | time she and McCloskey corresponded ' regularly. Just as they were consid- | ering a wedding date, Miss Fownes's father and her little brother set sail i on one of Captain Fownes' ships. I They were wrecked on a tropical isN j and in the South Seas. The brother j was drowned. The father and mother got ashore and were given shelter by natives, but the shock was too much for Captain Fownes and he died a short time afterward. Mrs. Fownes was later rescued and returned to her grief-stricken daughter. The wedding was postponed. Not until this winter could it be arranged. Then it was dec Jed that Denver should be the place and the holiday season the time. They will live in Oatman, Ariz.
