When properly trained he will faco barbed wire and even tush entanglements, regardless of lacerated lets and flanks. After ho has been accustomed to have a man mount rapidly on his sensitive back he is taught to kneel with his rider. He has to be taught to pull up In his own length from a tai'.op, to stand steady whllo a rider fires from his back and to lie still as a cover for his rider who snipes over his side. One of tho most difficult things rcnulred of a war horse is to become familiarized with the sword. In war faro It Is a common trick for a cav alryman to aim his first blo at h'.s opponent's horse, for no horse will i,tand after being pricked on the nos tril or Hp. When a horse knows his rider well lie will perform surprising deeds. A brlsade has been known to go through three lines of bayonets and then eo through a barbed wire entanglement. Not long ago a Can cdlan troop charged two lines of German machine guns and rifles, vheelcd and then rode through them a second time. "When the enemy finally begins his big retreat It is the allies' horses that will keep the Germans on the run. 4 SFXATOIl McXAKY WILL XOT CLAIM EXEMPTIO Senator Charles P.

Tortland, Sept. 12.-A campaign that may well be termed the "save w,i movement" has been Inaug urated In this state, and its Influence i rpeoimlzed already in i ....., nt,rprliUlon of the value of ir Ilk as a preventive and protective food, and by a greater apprcc.auon in -the minds of the pumic ior u.c psrt thp dairyman plays In the life of the nation and the world at large. Ti e campaign Is under the Joint aus j.iccs of tho United States food ad ministration, the Oregon Agricultur al college, tho state board of health, the dairy and food commission anu the Oregon dairy council. authority on dlete- ..i.i .nnnntiv "We must ail i.elp In this save tho herd movement by using plenty of milk, iresn anu evaporated, and plenty of tho very best butter., It IS noi . genet an Imown that milk, ieven at the ad vineed cost. Is one of tfio cheapest foods the housewife can provide for the family. Liberal use of milk and da!ry products Is a practical econ omy, not only because of their hlg'J focd value, but because of their pe culiar proporties to which are un ilisputably essential to the growf.h Gad health of children, and tho well- being of the adult as well. Prof. E. V. McCollum, of Johns TTr.nklnn university, who recently Eookto In Portluvd to a large gather ing Of professional and business me-i und women, including dairymen, homo economics teachers, doctors, health sneciallsts, nurses, heads of hospitals, teachers, mothers and all ethers Interested In dietetics, crea t"(' a profound Impression when he nsde several statements regarding tho urgency of the present situa t:on. He poIn((d out how disease gets bold of tho children, In districts where milk Is used sparingly or carcely at all. He told of hundreds of children afflicted with rickets, with pellagra, a. most distressing dis easethis because the llttto ones have not a sufficient supply of milk. He gave dates, places, facts and after telling of nny cases under his observatlon,experlmt?nts and re suits of research, he called upon the people of Oregon to stand by the dMrlcs which are now struggling un der -burdens of war conditions, to use the dairy products, and to save this generation from disastrous re sults that surely will come if the herds are to be sacrificed. Dr. McCollum urged the dairymen .e keep tholr hbrds Intact and tol l tho consumers their plain duty Is to ftand by this essential Industry. lit- i. - r 7 1 v - -. i' ' j Contains no Ca-P-feine ....

A merely by other theories, but by act ual observations made officially by ceveral of the belligerent govern ments, and the net result of these i-rful observations is to refute the Idea of any effect of war on weather. The real cause of rainfall Is the ..nr.ime of the air by tho vertical ris ing of heated air currents, and the incoming of cooler currents to take their places. All weather conditions depend ultimately for their origin on the heating and cooling of the atmos phere. All tho powuer uiui be reasonably expended In any battle even by millions of men engaged, wnnM not be enough to produCo any upprcclable change in temperature .:.rniurhoui. any considerable secuon of the atmosphere over tho battle rrea. The weather specialists point ou i.,nt n nil such cases, even when r.itn has followed such bombard f.irnts. tho moisture was there and ..no rtnn to fall anyhow without man's invention and that In the few rare where rain ha3 fallen it has been a mere coincidence, tho rain being duo to natural causs, and the drought wan broken because It was ! time that it would have been broken j in the natural course of events. In fc'iort. moisture would fall when It was pi'esent; If it were not present all tho concussions that could be ue vscd by man could not mako rain. fJTtOl NKS FOP. EXEMPTION' FKOM SERVICE UOAKD V. M.

There is a popu- lnr fallacy that concussions, explo sions and liberation of gases In tho European conflicts Is having an ef fect on tho weather, not only over the battle fields, but elsewhere on tho globe: hut it is a fallacy, say tho weather spbclallsts of the United Sttetes department of agriculture, even though it has existed almost since tho beginning of historic tim'3s. IVefore gunpowder was used, the an cients had an Idea that battles pro duced rainfall, which was caused by the Claah of swords and the sweat of tho fighters. Later, tho samo theory was trans ferred to the noise produced by mus- 1 etry and artillory still later, to duct particles and smoko from burn ina; nowder. upon which the mois ture In the air was supposed to be condensed and to fall 3 rain, ana now to tho gases fr(?ed by explosions, and liberated in the new chemical warfare. These theories are not combated The Y. M. C. A. and the American r.ed Cross- have made formal agree ment to divide their activities In Innce and thus add to the efficlenc of each organization. This va made known this morning with re teipt of copy of an agreement en tercd into between the two organlza lions by tho Tortland chapter Amor lean Red Cross. The agrgeement concerns only the work in connec Hon with the military forces on nc- tlve duty and does not concern It self with the enormous reconstruc tion work among the French civilian population being carried on by the Red Cross. Bv the terms of tho new agree went, ; It Is provided "that the Y. M. C. A. shall withdraw from all 1'onpltals, turning over to the Ameri can Red Cross all huts now being operated at such points, as the latter signifies its readiness o take them ever; but the Y. M. C. A. will, upon request of the American Red Cross, furnish Its entire program of activi ties at hospital points as far as prac ticable." ' With reference to canteen service it is provided "that the American Red Cross will furnish regular can teen service on all railway lines of communication for soldiers In transit and emergency canteens for troops in transit (not, however, including front line cantoen service) ; and the American Red Cross will furnisli ouch canteen scrvlco as may be rea sonably necessary in connection wit'.i ambulance service at tho front; but that all other canteen cervlce for tho American soldiers shall bo furn ished by the Y. M. C. A. except at Ispoudum, where the present ar rangemont Is to continue)." It Is set forth In the agreement "(hat tho Amerfcan Red Cross has planned to construct and equip (but not to operate) certain rest rooms for officers of the air service In the advance zone. .It is understood that in the future every specific case shall Much broader grounds for tho cs tabllshment of claims for exemption frnm military service are provided !n the new regulations now being u-rrkeil out by Provost Marshal Gen ial Crov,dr to govern the classlfi cation of m?n between 18 and 43 ui,n vi ill rezister on September 12. Imnortant modifications are based i-non the change of a few words la t'ie original draft of the law made in passing the new man power act. rbr- term "industrial occupation is riimlnated and the law now provides peroens may be riven deferred classl (mt'.nn when engaged In occupa Hon or employment, Including agri culture, which can be established as iiocessarv to the military establish r.ent or to the maintenance of the national inte.-est." This section, officials pointed out, ivlth the regulations construing It vlll definitely allow district exemp t'en boards to exempt bankers and essential bank employes, men en tajed in necessary commercial en (.-.mrisos and necessary workers for Red Cross and kindred organiza tions. The -cgulations will not at tempt specifically to defino tho status of registrants who shall be entitled to exemmion but will allow the boards to work out the details, after the authorization has been given them. Since the requirement that a man 13 exempt because his occupation nust be of such importance as to Mireaten tho continuance of tho en terprise to which he is attached, has remained, the sum total of exemp tlons is not .expected to seriously ef fect the man power which will be Diaced In class one. District boards in applying occupa tional exerantlon regulations win have the assistance of three advisers, Industrial, commercial and agricul ture!, who are now being nominated In every district. Only minor changes are being In ccrporated' in the revised question i.airo. which the registrant of bep teruber 12 will bo required to fill out. It strikes out the requirement that city police and firemen be in ervice three years before being en titled to deferred classification and fervlce. It establishes also three without regard to their length of .erido. It establishes also three new divisions in class five, exempt. hiK automatically persons discharg ed from naval or military service "upon cround of alienage.'
