Franklin Bell, commander of the Department of the East, has officially opened at tho Reserve Of ficers Training Camp here, the first ot' 200 big frame buildings which the Y. M. C. A. has in course of construction for the various military training camps throughout the coun try. This building Is a tac-simile of those under construction at Ft. Sher idan, 111., Logan H. Root's camp. Ark.. Leon Springs. Texas, Ft. Mc pherson, near Atlanta, Ga.. and Ft. Oglethrope. Chattanooga, Tenn. It is capable of accommodating 500 en listed men simultaneously and in the neighborhood of 5,000 men every twenty-four hours. In formally opening the building. General Bell said: "I am not here to talk shop. This is Uie Y. M. C. A. night. But I'll be here often dur ing your training and will do a lot of talking. There are some military matters about which I shall sprak to you, but I shall wait until you are all here, for I am determined that every one shall hear me. "On the battle line It's character that wins—not ability or knowledge so much as character. You know what I mean. You have only one life to live and one life to give, and it does not matter when a soldier leaves this life, but it does matter how he leaves it. A soldier must think only of his duty and must do it in a way that all who survive hltu will be proud of the way he gave up his life. "Gentlemen, you sang 'The Star Spangter Banner' to-night as I have heard it sung few times before. From you will be selected part of our first 10.000 officers and I want you to take it upon yourselves as a duty to see that every company of our army lias its marching tune, and that the men learn to sing it. You don't know how much further men can march when they sipg. Any rousing air will do.

Pays Tribute to Work In Inaugurating the association ' , work at the Plattsburg camp, Major kj General John F. O'Ryan. of the New York National Guard, in paying tribute to the military service ren dered by the Army Y. M. C. A., said: . "Military morale is difficult to de > : tine, because so many factors enter | into its make-up. It means more I than zeal and enthusiasm. In a sub stantial manner it is dependent upon confidence, and confidence in turn can exist only where efficiency and dependability obtain. Dependability is very largely dependent upon moral character, and so we find that in war the standard of moral charac- I ; ter of an army plays -M important I part in the attainment or success. In t this field the Army Y. M C. A. has . j contributed very materially in rais _ I ing the standards and assisting the " j military authorities in their work in . more than I think are generally ap- I preciated. The Army Y. M. C. A. is ' [ already an important part of the [ I army." • This first Plattsburg building. ' measuring about 40x120 feet, is splendidly lighted and ventilated and [ is representative of the association . buildings in course of construction for each U. S. A. brigade, smaller buildings or tents being provided for ; smaller units. All these buildings are equipped with tables and seats ' for reading and writing, piano, phon " | ograph. motion picture machine, . j checkers, chess, dopiinoes. billiards . I and other games. In addition, is a ; complete athletic equipment for . each building, circulating libraries, j current magazines and daily papers from the home town. This service Is requiring 1,100 . secretaries and three million dol ,: lars. of which nearly two million I ! dollars has already been paid in or . pledged. It Is hoped that the full . ' amount will bo subscribed by, or . before June 1. It is to be noted that J an army of one million men which these buildings will accommodate, j will require an equipment of: 200 pianos and piano players. 265.000 feet of films a day. 1 3.000.000 sheets of writing paper dally. 10,000 pens a day and a barrel of ink. 93 automobiles and trucks. 1.100 experienced association sec retaries. 200 moving picture machines. 200 graphaphones and 10,000 rec ords. 40.000 pounds of ice per day. A Bible to every man. 4 Magazines by the hundred tons, i Each building will be in charge of five men. There will be the general secretary, physical director, rellg* lous work secretary and two desk men, one of whom will be an ex perienced moving picture man, and the other to assist in social work. It is expected that a hundred Y. M. C. A. buildings will be completed and fully equipped at the various army mobilization camps in short order, and the rest as rapidly as they are needed. Freddy Welsh Does Not Want Referee For Monday New York, May 25. Freddy Welsh took a hand In the controversy over the referee for the Welsh-Leon ard bmit at the Manhattan A. C. to day vrtien he Instructed his manager to come to a quick settlement with Billy Gibson and the club officials as to who shall be the third man In the ring on Monday night. Freddy waxed exceeding wroth at the idea that he needs a "protective" referee to help him retain his titl. "What do they think I am—the tariff?" exclaimed Welsh. "I'm the world's champion, and that means I ought to be better than any man In my class. If there's to be any ad vantage I should be able to let the other fellow have it and still beat him. Otherwise I'm not deserving of the title. "I don't care WHO referees the bout between Leonard and me. I don't-care if there's ANY referee. I can protect myseif thank you. If It comes to a case where a count may be necessary let the timekeeper do the counting.: He's the only one who can do it absolutely right, any how. A referee CAN'T count ten in ten seconds flat to save his life, no matter how hard he might try. Let the old stop-watch tick oft the count."

TIPS FOR ANSWERING ALL QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED IN DRAFT QUIZ Official Guide Published by Government Explains De tails Men Must Give Under Universal Service; Sole Support Is Only Excuse to Evade Duty | Washington, May 25. The Pro vost Marshal General and his start, 1 who prepared the questions which i will be asked candidates for the | national army when they are enroll ed June 5, also have prepared an ! official guide as to how the ques-. | tions shall be answered. Of the ! twelve questions, it is expected that . the most knotty problems will arise in connection with the last, which j reads, "Do you claim exemption j from draft (specify grounds)?" The official guide explains the I questions as follows: j "Because you claim exemption from draft, it by no means follows that you are exempt. For the in formation of the War Department, yon should make a claim now if you intend to prosecute it. Some persons will be exempted on account of their occupations or offices; some on ac count of the fact that they have rel atives dependent upon them for sup port. "Your answer touching these things will he important in support ing the claim you now intend to make in your answer to the present questions. Be sure, therefore, that the grounds you now state are in conformity with your answers to questions 7 and S. Kxemption Claims "In stating grounds you claim as exempting you, use one of the fol lowing terms: "If you claim to be an executive, legislative or judicial oV&cer of the stater or nation, name your office and say whether it is an office of the State or nation. "If you claim to be a member of a religious sect whose creed for bids its members to participate in war in any form simply name the sect." "If you are employed in the trans mission of the United States mails or as a workman in an armory, arsenal or navy yard of the United States, or if you are a mariner employed in the sea service of any citizen or merchant within the United States, so state. "If you are a felon or otherwise morally deficient and desire to claim exemption on that ground, state your ground briefly. "If you claim physical disability, state that briefly. "If you claim exemption on any other ground, state your ground briefly." Regarding Cripples The registrar, in a short report which accompanies each registra tion card, is asked to state: "Has the person lost an arm, leg, hand, foot or both eyes, or is he otherwise disabled (specify)?" It is not intended, however, that the registrar shall pass upon any thing but the most obvious physical defects. Persons whose disabilities are so indicated by the registrar will be dropped from the lists, but others who claim exemption on ac count of physical disability are liable to draft in order that their physical condition may be passed upon by army surgeons. Claim of exemptions upon other than physical grounds will be passed upon by lo cal boards. In addition to noting pemons with marked physical defects, the regis trar Is asked to state whether the applicant is tall, medium or short, slender, medium or stout, the color of his eyes, the color of his hair and whether Me is bald. One phase of exemption Is more particularly considered in question nine, which asks: "Have you a father, mother, wife, child under twelve, or a sister or brother under twelve, solely dependent upon you for support (specify which)?" Y. M. C. A. DOING VIGILANCE NOW GREAT WORK TO HOLD PRICES $2,000,000 Raised For Welfare Work Among Soldiers of Nation "Approximately $2,000,000 has been raised to date by the Young Men's Christian Associations for wel fare work among the soldiers of the nation," says A. H. Whitford, secre tary of the Bureau of Finance of the National War Work Council. "There is a fighting chance that by June 1 the balance of the necessary $3,000,- 000 will have been subscribed. Out of 48 States, 40 have .accepted the responsibility of raising a definite sum and are actually already at the canvass, each co-operates with the National War Work Council. Re ports indicate that the following States will exceed their goals: New York. Ohio, Illinois, California, New Hampshire, Montana, North and South Carolina. Tennessee. Virginia, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin." Governors of many States have is sued proclamations setting aside a V. M. C. A. day, while others have called together representative citi zens to consider" the needs of the soldiers and how the Y. M. C. A. may meet them, and funds be raised. Major General Blrks, who com mands the Overseas rorces of the Y. M. C. A., addressed a gathering of 140 women in New York and sub scriptions amounting to SIOI,OOO were pledged before \he meeting ad journed. An eastern woman, unable to sub scribe money, stripped a string of pearls from her neck, saying: "I want to do something big." When the story was told the jeweler of her home city, he said. "We'll pay more for them than they are really The pledges to date indues $50,000 from the I'nited States Steel Corpora tion $25,000 for work among Amer ican soldiers and $15,000 for war work among European soldiers, by Samuel Mathers, of the California Iron Ore crowd. The Mathers-Plckens Company has also pledged SIO,OOO for this year and SI,OOO a month for next year toward the support of a Y. M. C. A. unit. EXPEL SOCIALISTS Milwaukee. Wis.. May 25--Because they were too outspoken ;n their pro-American attitude and because they criticised the Socialist party for Its pro-German action and at the St. Louis convention, t*o prom inent members have been expelled from the Socialist party. PETER WESTS BURIED New Cumberland, Pa., May 23. —Fu- neral serTices for Peter Wente were held at the home in Bridge street on Tuesday, conducted by the Itev. Itein lioldt Schmidt, of the German Luther -1 and Church, at Harrisburf. Burial was made at the Baldwin Cemetery. -| The guide continues: !, "Consider your answer thought- It j fully. If it is true that there is e another mouth than your own which - you alone have a duty to feed, do ii not let your military ardor inter fere with the wish of the nation to e reduce war misery to,a minimum, t On the other hand, unless the per e son you have in mind Is solely de ft pendent on you. do not hide behind it petticoats or children." Naturalization Explained e The fourth question in regard to naturalization reads: n "Are you (1) a natural-born s citizen, (2) a naturalized citizen, (3) -lan alien or (4) have you declared t, your intention? (Specify which)." n , This questioft is explained as fol s lows in the guide: r "(1) If you were born in the - United States, Including Alaska and - Hawaii, yotf are a natural-bqrn clt - izen, no matter what may l\ave been tlio citizenship or nationality of your e parents. If you were born in Porto - Rico you are a citizen of the Unit o ed States unless you were born of t alien parentage. If you were born 11 abroad you are still a citizen of n the United States if your father was 0 a citizen of the United States at the time you were born, unless you have expatriated yourself. s "Second. You are a naturalized - citizen if you have completed your naturalization; that is, if you have >, taken 'final papers.' But you are e not a citizen if you have only dc .l clared your intention to become a e citizen (that is. if you have only taken out first papers). In the latter r case you are only a 'declarant.' You - are also a naturalized citizen If, al ii though foreign born, your father or e surviving parent became fully na turalized while you fere under 21 - years of age, and if you came to tha r United States under 21. 1 "Third. You are a declarant if, i, although a citizen or subject of some 1 forelK*. country, you have declared r on oath before a naturalization court i, your intention to become a citizen of the United States. Receipt from e the clerk of the court of the certified i copy of such declaration is often r called 'taking out first papers." You are not a declarant if your first pa , per was taken out after September 26, 1906, and is more than seven i* years old. 1 "(t) You are an alien if you do not fall within one of the three classes above mentioned." t . Enemies Must Register Alien enemies will be required to ? register, but will not be drafted. , A companion question is No. 6. } "If not a citizen, of what country are you a citizen or subject?" the t guide points out that "this need be - answered only by aliens and declar -1 ants. Remember that a "declarant" i is not yet a citizen of the United p States. If an alien or a declarant, t state the name of your country, as - "France," "Japan," "China," etc. i Another question in which pos r sible confusion is cleared up in the 1 guide is No. 10, which is made up f of the following questions: 1 Married or single (which?) and - race (specify which)." This does not ask whether you i were once married, but whether you • are married now, explains the guide, s "In answer to the question as to , your race state briefly whether r "Caucasian," "Mongolian," "Negro," i "Malay" or "Indian. Citizens Hying in foreign countries } may register through the nearest i consular office. Citizens who are ab i sent from home on registration day r; must register by mail or blanks pro r cured froth the county clerk or, in ila city above 30.000 in population, ■from the city clerk. Will ye Kept Down if Every one Reports Any Unpatri • otie Attempt lo Inflate A little vigilance now will keep down the price of food in the en suing months Notwithstanding the appeal of President Wilson to refrain from taking advantage of the times to boost prices, it was found recently in a large city of a certain State where a plan of garden planting had been inaugurated that there nad been a sharp rise in seeds. Prospec tive buyers who demurred at what they considered to be were informed that the news prices were unavoidable on account of the dif ficulty in obtaining seeds.
