HERMISTON DR.
ROAR OF BIG GUNS
The Herald herewith reproduces a
letter from Dr. C. O. Wainscott, for
mer Hermiston physician, written to
“J“parents, Mr. and Mrs. N.C. Wains-
cott of Oakland, Oregon, from Paris
on June 6. After enlistment in the
medical corps of the service the doctor
went from here to California. From
there be was transferred to Fort Riley,
Texas, and from there to New York
before he made the jump across the
big pond to the battle arena. His let­
ter is interesting, and reads as follows:
"Upon our arrival in France I was
sent to a casual officers’ depot for one
week, thence to Paris, having arrived
here the latter part of last week. Our
voyage across was pleasant; however,

my life at sea. Seasickness was the
worst hazard of the trip for me. We
were in London 72 hours which gave
us an opportunity to see many interest­
ing things

"The French equipment is quite
different from ours and our methode

French equipment so we have to . learn
new ones. I presume this will finish

Italy or Mesopotania and find its neces-
ary to learn their methods.
“French XRay equipment is greatly
nferior to ours, so you can see the

hat America leads the world in most
kery line. We certainly have the

DRAFT TREATY WILL
SWELL ALLIED ARMY
On July 31 the recruiting convention
between Great Britain and the United
States came into force and the period
for voluntary enlistments terminates
on September 28.
During this period of 60 days, all
Britons and Canadians between the
ages of 20 and 44, both inclusive, re­
siding in the United States, have an
opportunity of offering their services
to their own countries at a time when
the services of every man are urgent­
ly needed. On September 28 the per­
iod within which they can enlist volun­
tarily expires, and thereafter they will
be liable to draft into the United
States army.
During this period all Britons and
Canadians in the United States oí
twenty years of age and those between
31 and 44, both inclusive, will be re­
quired to register on a date fixed by
proclamation of President Wilson, and
30 days after registration they become
subject to the American draft.
American citizens between the ages
of 21 and 31, resident in the British
empire, will be given 60 days from
July 31 in which to enlist, enroll or re­
turn to their own country for service,
but after that time they would be sub­
ject to draft unless they had been
granted exemption by the American
Ambassador as provided iu the treaties.
It is estimated that some 54,000
American citizens in the British em­
pire, including 36,000 in Canada, and
250,000 British subjects and 60,000
Canadians in the United States, will
be affected by the treaties.
The nearest British recruiting sta-
tton is located at W. 605 Sprague ave-
nue, Spokane, where local British or
Canadian subjects can write for in­
formation as to rates of pay, separa­
tion allowance, etc.
