MEN DRAF TIED FOR SERVICE NOTIFIED IN ORDER DRAWN Lists Will Be Complete in 15 Days and COnscripts
 Notified by Mail SIT STEADY IN BOAT ADVISES PEPPERMAN Secretary Makes Statement as to the Situation, and Says It Is Im-
 possible for Him to An
 swer All Calls

B. A. Pepperman, secretary of the To- cal exemption boards, stated yesterday that it would be at least Is days be- be called before the exemption boards, and that until each one of them received a post card, there was no use to worry over the situation. Every man will be notified by mail and told when to appear before the board, and he is expected to make his appearance not later than five days after he receives his notice.
 Secretary Pepperman spent all day Monday getting his office straight after the removal of Saturday afternoon from the city hall council chamber to the twen- ty-second floor of the Jefferson County Bank building.
 The physical examinations and those for exemption will be made for five boards at the office in the Jefferson County building. The other division, Ensley, will have it's Headquarters at the office of M. H. Mcdowell in Ensley, on Nineteenth street
 The work of making a complete list of the men drafted from Birmingham Will occupy the time or the boards for several days, as each list must show the names in the order in which they were drawn, and it is absolutely necessary for this to be done before a single man will be notified to appear before the board. It is estimated that this task will consume from 10 to 15 days.
 As matter of lf-preservation Sec retary Pepperman has issued the follow ing appeal to the public:
 Important!
 Please have heart: It is utterly im- possible to talk with everyone who calls
 We will not know officially who has been drawn until official confirmation of the numbers arrives from Washington.
 When this arrives we will make up a list showing the order in which every man in Birmingham will eventually have to report.
 After this is done we will make up an- other list of those who will report on the first call.
 Both of these lists will be posted on the bulletin boards. In addition we will send a written notice by mail to the ad- dress shown on the registration card.
 "The written notice referred to will be sent about four or five days ahead of the time given to report.
 At the time a party is notified to re- port he can also file his claim if he has any.
 If he should be out of town this claim can be filed by other parties interested in his case.
 When a party files his claim (after he is notified to appear) he will be given the proper blank forms on which to make his proof and he will be given 10 days in which to get it up.
 At that time he can also make formal request to the board to order his exami- nation elsewhere provided he has good reasons for making such request.
 Those who have not yet located their red numbers can get them from the bull letin boards posted at .ne city hall on Fourth avenue entrance.
 "B. A. PEPPERMAN.''

such a union and at later date had called a strike when the foreman of the mine refused to change a rule ef- fecting the handling of cars for slate pickers.
 The men named in the petition are also accused by the Pratt Consolda ted company of having intimidated a slate picker and the companys enGI- neer and caused him to leave the em- ploy of the petitioner. Further alle- cations of the petition are that the men formed the union and at a later date did call the strike. and that the majority of the men, who had pre- viously joined the union. walked out and have not as yet returned to work.
 Judge Sharpe has not announced the date for the hearing of the permanent injunction. It is reported that the men striking at Maxine left the mine last Friday and that the mine has been closed down since that time and that about 150 men are affected

 How can this destiny be real ized," will be the theme for Sum- day evening. April 29. The sub- ject of the sermon will be Man and his Evolution"

N ative Voters

The question of the right ot Alaska natves to vote IS on which is bound to be the subject of much discussion in the immediate future. The following interesting comment is from the Unalakleet correspon- dent of the Nome Industrial Work CT: II see that much ado is made as to the native voting. What are they going to do about it.? Citizenship is one right over which the United States exercises eXclu- sive jurisdiction. and 1t is not up to any state or territory to say what shall constitute a citizen of the United State. A state may pass a law regulating the vote of a citt- zen, but not a law as to what con stitutes a citizen, so the law passed in 1915 by the Juneau Solons (Chapter A and Section g ot Chapter 25) in relation to Eskimo natives is null and void. But if here Is any kick. why not have the matter settled by a competent court? The judges of ;he uhalak- leet election invited the represesta- tive of the bureau of education to challenge the Eskimo voters, with a view to making a test case, and he after reading the laws upon the que stion. could not see where he had challenge coming. The bureau of education is to be con. graduated upon having at least one gentleman oi intelligence in its employ" "

Child Falls In the Bay

There was no little excitement on Front street Monday after noon when it was reported that little Clarence, the two year old son of Mir. and Mrs. David Lewis, had been drowned. There was likewise a feeling of general re- lief when half an hour later it be- came known that the little fellow had been resuscitated.
 The child fell into the bay at about three o'clock, and it prob ably remained in the water fl fifteen minutes. When discovered af1oat it was quickly brought out by Fred Lewis. The child was ap- parently dead and no one sup. posed it would ever breath again. Dr. and Mrs. Pigg were near and lost no time in putting forth ef- forts to resuscitate the little one. More than fifteen minutes were spent before there was the least sign of life. The child had been in the water long enough to be thoroughly chilled, and it's re- covery from a state of apparent death was almost like a miracle. It owes it's life to its resusciators.
