READY TO TRAIN
50,000 MEN IN 1917
Dates and Locations of Citi
zens' Military Camps An
nounced by Association
New York, Feb. 10. The Military
Training Camps Association of the
United States, with neadquarters at
31 Nassau street, has announced the
dates of the civilian training camps
that will be held in the Eastern and
Central military departments next
summer and early fall. The War
Department, it Is stated, expects to
have at least 50,000 men In attend
ance at this year's camps. In addition
to the camps in the Eastern and Cen
tral departments, camps will be or
ganized in the Southern and Western
departments.
The four Plattsburg camps will be
held on the following dates: First
camp, June 2 to July 1; second camp,
July 7 to Aug. 5; third camp, Aug. 11
to Sept. 9; fourth camp, Sept. 15 to
Oct. 14. The camps for the junior
division, open to boys between the
ages of 15 and 18 years, will be held
at Fort Terry, N. 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 junior camps in
that department, five in number, will
lie held at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Ind., Fort Des Moines, lowa, and Fort
D. A. Russell. 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."
Anatomical Menu Card
Graces Surgeons' Dinner
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 12.—At a din
ner in honor of Dr. H. S. Warren, of
Chicago, at Hotel Jefferson given by
St. Louis physicians last night, the
doctors operated on food which was |
disguised under lengthy Latin names. |
Instead of "menu" at the top of the !
cards was "protocol," which usually j
leads the description of an autopsy, j
The rest of the words were just as I
strong but they did not turn in the
least the iron stomachs of the phys
icians who ate the dinner with a!
relish.
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 !
cigarets and cigars were labeled
"shrapnel." "hand grenades" and
"crutches."
The dining room of Hotel Jefferson
■was labeled "Jefferson Hospital." 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. Y., Feb. 12.—1t was
a costly kiss that Alfred Pye. of 359
Melville street, forced from the un
willing lips of Marie Becker, of 305
Glenwood avenue, a pretty little shop
girl employed where he was foreman
early last March. She had him arrest
ed for assault, third degree.
Pye was convicted in police court
and was fined SSO. He appealed to the
county court from that decision and
County Judge J. B. M. Stephens has
just filed his decisio*. He upholds the
decision of Police Justice Gillette. The
girl and Pye were employed by the
Rochester Folding Box Company.
Counting the attorneys fees, the
cost of trial and other Incidentals,
Pye's stolen kiss will cost him more
than one hundred dollars.

thor of "Any Man's
Sister" and "Broadway After Dark,"
which George Kllmt will present at the
Orpheum to-night.
"The Millionaire's Son and the Shop
Girl" should not be confused with
many of the white slave or vice plays
that have been presented recently. On
the contrary, this play is claimed to be
clean and wholesome and has a story
that Is filled to the brim with delight
ful comedy.
| "The Guilty Woman" Is the title of an
j adaptation o( a powerful play that will
be presented here for the
1 "The first time at the Orpheum,
t fiullty Wednesday, matinee and
j Woman" evening.
It is said to be a strong,
' virile drama founded on fact and sug
gested by the newspaper reports of a
happening that actually occurred in real
life. After a preliminary tour of a few
weeks, the play is scheduled for an ex
tended New York engagement.
"Oh! Oh! Delphine," the big musical
comedy to be produced at the Orpheum
next Saturday, matinee
"Oh! Oh! and night, is by C. M. S.
Delphine" McLellan and Ivan Caryll,
and is derived from the
i French farce. "Villa Primrose."
The plot tells the story of the search
:of an artist, Victor Jolibeau. for a
, model for the left shoulder of a Venus.
Jolibeau and Alphonse Bouchotte, fat
! and jealous, have exchanged wives by
way of the divorce court, but even then
they are not very well suited. The two
! are to serve a month in the army and
Victor takes with him six models,
!'vhile Alphonse's wife accompanies him.
In camp complications arise, due to the
pra-ence of Victor's uncle, whom he
hai not told of the divorce, and whom
he attempts to deceive by having his
former wife, now Alphonse's. pose as
his own. The play ends with a re
exchange of wives.

Regent to-day. to-morrow and Wednes
day in the second
"Pride of the production of her
Clan" at Regent own corporation re
leased by Artcraft. It
is called "The Pride of the Clan," and
as the central figure of a Scotch story
of a strong human and heart appeal,
the famous star will create the role of
a lassie of the heather, adding another
interesting impersonation to the always
remembered favorites that make up the
gallery of Mary Pickford creations.
The action of the play takes place on
an island off the western coast of
Scotland, where great sorrow is carried
to the hearts of the poverty-stricken
fisherfolk when a severe storm at sea
results in the loss of the chieftain and
several members of the Clan MacTa
vish. According to the law of the old
island, prettv Margaret MacTavish suc
ceeds her father as head of the clan,
and in her sweet way rules the fisher
men and their families iwth a spirit of
kindness.

the Colonial Girl," showing at the
Colonial Theater to
day only. "Nine, the Flower Girl," Is a
heart interest story, in which the prin
cipal characters are a blind girl, who
sells (lowers and. and a little crippled
newsboy. The picture is unique for the |
fact that it does not have any vil
lain, but is simply a delightful love I
story that holds your interest through- |
out the entire action of the story and !
ends just as you would have it end.
Happiness Is the keynote of the entire |
story. A sereaminglv funny Triangle

Wedding 15 Years
Denver, Col.. Feb. 12. 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.
Married Fifty Years;
Hits Wife; in Jail
Chicago, Feb. 12.—1t was the gold- !
en wedding anniversary of Francis'
Bayliss, seventy years old, of No.'
2821 East Ninety-third street, and his j
wife, Mary, seventy-two years old.
Times have changed since they j
were married. Men were stern then. I
Woman's rights or suffrage were vir- |
tually unheard of.
Francis Bayliss has not changed
much with the passing years. His
wife has changed. He entered the j
house. An unpleasant word led to
others then a blow was struck, his '
wife says.
The anniversary day ended with i
Bayliss in a police cell.

Japan Leads in Divorces;
173 of 20,000 Marriages
j Tokio, Feb. 12.—Statistics just pub

! Japan leads the world in the propor

20,000 marriages in England, 2 re
; suit in a divorce; in the United States,
82, and in Japan, 173.
Of 59,000 divorces effected in Japan
between 1883 and 1902, only 409 were
obtained by lawsuits. The rest were
brought about by mutual consent,
usually utilizing the services of the
