Names of men accepted today will be found on Page °. Men accepted yesterday are listed on Page 4. aaa Calls for 114 additional men for ex- amination for the selective draft in the Twenty-eighth Ward, and for 300 more in the Twenty-fifth Ward, were a:- nounced today by the draft boards of those wards. At the same time, former Mayor F. H. Kreismann, chairmar of the Twenty-third Ward board, said an- other call would be mecessary in tha: ward, and that the second call might be equal in number to the first. The reason for an additional call, in each case; was that the boards feel sure they will not make up their ward quotas from the first batch of men sum- moned for examination. The number first summoned was, in most. wards, twice the ward quota. The Ninth Ward, having failed to ob- tain its quota of 134 men out of the first 984 examined, today issued-a call for registrants in that ward whose or- der of call numbers are 285 to 449, inclu- sive. The Twenty-third, Twenty-fiftth and Twenty-eighth are West End wards, and the Ninth is on the South Side. The ~poards of the Fcurth, a‘downtow 2 ward, and the Eleventh, a South Side ward, have also decided that they will have to issue additional calls. The names of the 114 additional men summoned in the Twency-eighth are printed elsewhere in this issue of the Post-Dispatch. The 300 additional men nm the Twentv-fifth will be numbers 31 to 650, inclusive, in that ward's order of eall, the first call having been for 350. Prominent Men in List. Among those in the additional! list in the Twenty-eighth Ward are Alex W. Shapleigh of 6 Portland place, Julian L. Nugent of 2 Westmoreland place, Ches- Myers of 4 Kingsbury place, and Breckinridge Jones Jr. of 5861‘ Nina place. James ‘*. Jones, chairman of the Twenty-eizgnth Ward board, said that many in the ward who stood well up in the order of call would claim exemp- tion because of enlistment in some -branch of the military or naval service. The first call was for 386 men, and the addition of 114 makes the total number to be examined an even 500. The ward board, which begins its sessions at 8 a. m. tomorrow, has moved its headquar- ters from the Jewish Hospital to 509 Washington avenue, the first door west of Temple Israel. The board has a staff of 15 physicians. To Allow Many Claims,’ . Former Judge Daniel G. Taylor, chair- man of the Twenty-fifth Ward board, said he believed most of the exemption claims made in that ward had merit, and would have to be granted. 1). Sommers, another member of the board, shared this opinion. The examination of the additional men in this ward will take place next Tuesday and Wednes- day. In the Fourth Ward, vut of 110 who were summoned to appear before tine board this morning, ofly 60 responeécd. Secretary Winkler of e ward boai:!l prepared a list of the 50 delinquents to be furnished to the District Attorney. He believes most of the absences are due to wilfulness or ignorance, and that only a few of the men have ent«red the army or navy. The ward has 1389 aliens in a total registration of 3248, and the board doubts whether its whole regisi- ered list will furnish its quota of 201 “men, Figures compiled today in 16 of the 19 Wards where examinations were con- ducted yesterday, showed the following results for yesterday only, as to accept- 8nces, rejections and claims of exemp- tion on the part: of accepted men: | Reject ed we 3 Examined ts Bl Accepted - = the number listed as re- eon Page 3, Columa 3. 114 More Men Called for Examination in 28th Ward The list of 114 additional! registrants] BERKSMEIER, C.

Goldthwaite is one of 2) American medical officers who have been in France and England studying new methods of treating wounded. He returned to recruit surgeons for similar duty that the American army may have the benefit of the modern treatment from its own surgeons. Maj. Golithwaite added that were it not for the successful methods of treat- ing wounded now being practiced, i would be better to let some of the men die rather than toallow them to recover and continue as cripples.

The men are looking forward to the gas experimenis with the greatest possible interest as giv- ing a touch of adventure to their train- ing. When the so-calied “‘gas house’ is completed the men will be put through a mixture of deadly vapor several times stronger than will ever be encountered upon the field of battle. Some German prisoners have «luimed that in their training they have endured periods of from five to ten minutes in a gas mixture 50 times as strong as could possibly be maintained in attack. The men are put through these intense mixtures to demonstrate to them that with proper care and use of their equip- ment they cannot be hurt by anv gas l‘kely to be encountered in the front line trenches. Methods of Dealing With Gas. It is a most important branch of the modern training of a soldier that he Should be convinced that there are many methods of eftectively dealing with the deadliest terrors of latter-day warfare: that careless, slovenly and unheeding soldiers are the ones who first succumb. It is even demonstrated to the soldiers that the terrifying Hquid fire can be avoided except in most extraordinary circumstances, such as being caught in a tunne! or in a dugout with the enemy in such a position that he can pour flames through the entrances.
