CAMP CUSTER DOCTORS
TO BE COURT- MARTIALED
RUMORS OF EXECUTIONS ARE
OFFICIALLT DENIED BY
GENERAL
Camp Custer, Oct. 16.-Six medical
officers are to be tried by court mar-'
tial for violating the quarantine.rThe
trials, however, will not be held un-
til the influenza and pneumonia epi-
demics have subsided sufficiently to
alow the administration to divert its
attention to other things.
The infractions of quarantine rules,
which Brigadier-General Laubach es-
tablished, bear no relation to rumors
that medical officers will not be "shot
at runrise."
Quarantine for All Alike
General Laubach declared that the
quarantine affected officers as well
as men, and that to violate it was a
menace to the outside world.
A number of men are "absent with-
out leave," due to having "ducked"
for their civilian homes. During the
rushing of the men to the base hospi-
tal, it was impossible to keep a rec-
ord of all the victims.
There have, so far, been no mili-
tary executions in the, history of
Camp Custer ,and it is unnecessary
to say that no officers will be executed
for spreading germs.
The disease death toll at the camp,
in the last 24 hourswas 40, and the
hospital population has been reduced
to 3,051. At the same time 615 men
were discharged as convalescent.
New Surgeon Arrives
Due to the illness of Lieutenant-
Colonel Creighton and Lieutenant-
Colonel Irons, Washington was asked
to send an experienced army surgeon
to take charge. He arrived yesterday
in the person of Lieutenant-Colonel E.
F. Campbell, but as Creighton and
Irons are now back on duty, Colonel
MacCampbel will become camp sur-
geon.
No modifications of the quarantine
are as yet in sight, but General Lau-
bach has notified the manager of the
Liberty theater that he may book at-
tractions at the camp playhouse one
week from today.
The requests of many parents to al-
low the boys who are convalescing to
'come home cannot be granted. The
men will undergo a gradual hardening
'process in camp.
A decrease in the number of deaths
is expected. Since Sept. 28, 491 have
sdied at Custer, one from influenza, one
from typhoid, and all the rest from
pneumonia. Most of the deathes are
in the infantry regiments.

PITY WASTED ON
LIVE DEAD MAN
With the American Army in France,
Oct. 16.-The laugh and the joke and
the prank are not absent from the
American military hospitals. There
is suffering, of course, in these great,
splendidly equipped institutions, but
even the shrapnel loaded American
citizen soldier has his fun. One sur-
geon tells this story:
When the lines of stretcher cases
were being brought into his hospital
the surgeons stood in the reception
ward making quick examinations. One
stretcher was brought silently in, the
form of a soldier lying rigid under
blankets drawn over the head. This is
the sad sign of one who needs no
more help. They motioned the bear-
ers to set it aside in a corner and
when the last wounded man had been
looked over the surgeons reverently
lifted the blanket from the face. The
"dead" man sat suddenly up with a
loud "Boo!" Then the "case" laughed,
lay down and again drew the blanket
over his face. They let him play his
joke on others for a while, then sent
him to a ward to have some machine
gun bullets picked out.
"Do you suffer very much, laddie?"
asked a nurse of a soldier who lay in
his cot with white face and tight lips
in an American field hospital.
"No, Miss, Oh no," was the shaky
reply. "We marines don't suffer, you
know.

INDUCTION PAPERS

qity News

Washington, Oct. 16.-By final re-
turns, the selective service draft of
September 12 brought a total of 12,-
966,594 registrants from all the states.
Experts in the office of Provost Mar-
shal General Crowder estimated it at
only 12,778,758 from recent census fig-
ures.
Since the United States entered the
war there have been 23,546,021 men
registered for military service. The
local draft boards of the country have
made such progress in classifying the
men registered on September 12, that
questionaires will soon be sent to the
youths of 18 and men between the.
'ages of 37 aid 46.
Baker Curtails Lawyer's Commissions
Washington, Oct. 15.-Selection of
lawyers to be commissioned for the
Judge Advocate General's Depart-
ment through application has proved
to be impractical and has been aban-
doned. The War department today
announced that hereafter commis-
sions would be granted in limited
numbers only after investigation
through professional sources of thel
records of men believed to be fitted
for military work.
Chemistry Classes Resume Meetings
The chemistry classes of Profes-
ors Hale and Bigelow will meet to-
day as usual. They were not held yes-
terday because of Mrs. Hale's death.
Arrangements, however, have been
made to resume them immediately.
Prof. Taylor Visiting Sick Son
Prof. Fred M. Taylor of the econom-
i's department, left yesterday for Col-
umbus, O., where his son, Theodore, is
dying of influenza. Mrs. Taylor has
been there since Monday. Classes will
go on as usual under Mr. Calhoun.
Fire Damages Building in Cemetery
Fire, yesterday afternoon, partially
destroyed one of the buildings in the

When the prisoners at the county
jail were being given their breakfast
yesterday morning it was noticed that
one of them was missing. Upon in-
spection it was discovered that he
had, in some way, chiseled eight bricks
out of the wall of the detention room
and made his escape through the aper-
ture. Officers in charge state that he
must have hidden under a bench when
the rest of the prisoners were taken
to their cells and since there were
several 'others his absence was not
noticed. The man was a draft slacker
brought here from Milan.
Ann Arbor men in class one of the
September registration are being call-
ed for physical examination at the
rate of 50 a day. The examinations
are given at the dental building, Word
has been received at the local draft
board to be ready to entrain the men
who were scheduled to leave here
Oct. 7 early next week. They had
not left before because of the influen-
za epidemic. They are all men who
registered previous to September.
A gold wrist watch was recovered
yesterday by a member of the police
force after it had been missing for
three months. It belonged to Florence
Paul, a high school girl, who lost it
on State street last July. She had
never advertised for it but a few days
ago she noticed another girl wear-
ing it and notified the police.
Choral Union Members to Get Tickets
Members of the Choral union will
receive their tickets for the Caruso
concert on Friday afternoon at the
School of Music. Everyone is urged
to pay their fee of $4, $1.50 of which
will be returned when the books are
given back to the school after the May
festival. Members will receive word
through the mail today or tomorrow
telling them about their seat assign-
ments.
Red Cross Workers Wear Gauze Masks
The S. A. T. C. men and students
are not the only ones wearing masks.
The women in the Ann Arbor chapter
of the Red Cross deem it necessary
to take as many precautionary meas-
ures as the soldiers. If you have never
worn an influenza mask go to the Red
Cross and you will be given the oppor-
tunity of wearing one, also of helping
others to wear them.
Lient Tomlinson Goes to Nebraska
Lieut. J. H. Tomlinson, who has been

Owing to the fact that the engin-
eering reserves will not be allowed to
enlist in the S. A. T. C., there are
about 25 open places in the naval unit.
These places must be filled before Oct.,
20 as enlistments close on that date.
Lieut. A. K. Boak who has been
confined to his room with influenza
has returned to duty in naval head-
quarters.
Barracks Z A winch was former-
ly at 640 South University avenue, has
been shifted to 750 Oakland avenue.
Companies 1 and 3 will be quartered
in this barracks. The house formerly1
used for this baracks did not con-
tain suffieent accommodations for the
troops and the new one is much bet-1
ter.
The measurements for uniforms will
be taken as soon as a yoeman is sent
here from Great Lakes. He will prob-
ably arrive today or tomorrow.
The naval reserve men who are on.
inactive duty have failed to receive
their active duty'-papers in many cases
because of their failure tocask for
their orders at the postoffice. They
are sent here by general delivery -and
will not be delivered.
NAVAL FLYING RESERVE OPENS
RECRUITING OFFICE IN DETROIT
Detroit, Oct. 16.-Applications will
be received at the Navy Recruiting
Station, 161 Griswold street, Detroit,

Physical qualifications as prescribed
for line officers, standard of regular
navy.
Special induction of successful can-

the bureau of navigation.
KAISER ONLY MAKES TREATIES;
STATEMENTS OF OTHERS VOID
New York, Oct. 16.-According to
the German consti nio, no one but the
emperor can make treaties or declare
war. Therefore the statements of
Prince Maxmillian and Dr. Solf are
made only their own and they are
not speaking for the government as
they claim to be. It may have been
noticed that the Kaiser's name is not
mentioned in any of their statements.
This should be sufficient proof of the
insincerity of the statements.
Further, the German people have
absolutely no voice in international
affairs. Can anything be plainer?,

SAVE

INSURANCE

Due to the fact that the local draft
boards are extremely slow in sending
the induction papers, a few come
daily into the Registrar's office. It is
highly important that these papers
be presented to the company com-
mander. An exampie of just how
important these papers are was
shown when Lieutenant Leche, the
adjutant, received the papers for one
man who was at death's door and was
barely able to sign them. Lieuten-
ant Leche was thus able to secure
the sum of $13,000 insurance for the
man.
The following is the list of names of
the men whose papers came in yes-
terday:
Amidon, Willard C., Anderson, Leigh
C., Angle, Hugh K., Beadle, Frank E.,
Bounsma, Oscar K., Brede, Edwin F.,
Brennan, Walter D., Campbell, Dou-
glas H., Cook, Harry G., Dietrich,

Service Section Wants Home for Girl
In its work with the families of
soldiers and sailors the home service
section of the American Red Cross
meets a variety of problems touchr-
ing upon the lives of the members of
such families at every point. At times
it is possible to enable the older
children to do some kind of light work
during their leisure hours to help buy
their own clothes, or to contribute a
little to the family budget.
At the present time the homehser-
vice committee is looking for a home
where a young school - girl 14 years
of age could earn at least 10 cents
an hour doing light house work after
school, nights, Saturdays and part of
Sundays. Those who are interested
are asked to call 633-W, and talk with
the home service secretary.
Gasless Sunday Still With Us
In spite of the rumors that Sunday
motoring may be resumed this, coming
Sunday, no announcement has come
from the office of State Fuel Adminis-
trator Prudden or from Washington.
It is expected that abstinence from
gas-consuming will be necessary for
some time to come.
