The fol lowing paragraph :of Army Reg ulations is the only rule now ex isting regarding the relationship , between officers and enlisted men : "Superiors forbidden to injure those under their authority bv tyrannical or capricious conduct or by abusive language. "While maintaining discipline and the through and prompt performance of military duty, all officers, in dealing with enlisted men, will bear in mind the absolute neces sity of so treating them as to pre serve their self-respect- Officers Owing to the very cold and in clement weather, and because of the shortage of coal, the Scot land Neck graded school will not re open until Monday January 14. It had been planned to start up the school next Monday, and this was theunderstanding with Sup erintendent Jenkins before he left for his Christmas holidays, but since that time the fuel ques tion has been most acute, the weather intensely cold and unin viting, so that for the sake of those pupils who live in the coun try, and the outskirts of town, the date has been extended one week. Mr. J. L. Josey, as soon as the board decided to postpone the re-opening of the school, wired Superintendent Jenkins not to hurry back, but this morning a telegram was received from Mrs. Jenkis stating that her husband had air cad v started back.

DRAFT AGE MAY BE 45 Washington, Jan. 4. Increas ing the draft age from thirty one to forty or forty five is one of the probabilities of the near fu ture, according to Provost Mar shall Crowder, in his comprehensive- report to the secxetary-j war. The draft of older men is main ly for the purpose of skilled war labor, and also to distribute the burdens of the war- Crowder has shown that there are enough young men for the fighting ranks but he points out the danger of injuring the coming generation by taking awav too ! many aggressively patriotic young men.
