Work For Everybody.

The Presidents announcement Of
the mex: draft makes the general
purpose of the method to be used
clear IN a few words. An inventory
is to be taken of all the registered
men and thev are to be classified
so as to show the order in which
they will be called. Since there
will be something like 100000
men whose qualifications and sur
roundings must be studied before
this work is finished, it will call for
the co operation of the whole nation.
Every patriotic and INTELLIGENT per-
son in the United States will prob.
ably find something large or small
to do in carrying out this gigantic
task.
The basis OF the classification
will be the answers written by the
men to a long series of questions
which will be sent to them on
printed blanks Gen. Crowder
thinks he has made his questions
plain enough for any man to answer,
but he knows that the capacity of
the human mind for misunder-
standing plain English is astonish-
| ing. There will be hundreds of
thousands of men who will need
help in filling out the blanks.
Innumerable questions will arise
with respect to them. and here is
where the lawyers will find a field
Since all Of the vast army Of
registered men must be examined
as to their physical fitness. the
doctors have on their hands the
biggest single job their profession
ever attacked. The police also will
have their hands full. but not too
full. for the willingness Of the
country at large to do its duty in
the war is now well established.
Sixty days is the time estimated
to be needed for carrying the work
to completion. II will be no dis
erace If the country does not come
up to that mark and a glorious
proof OF national efficiency If it
does. sa-F

BY II. p. BURTON.

DETROIT, Mich, June 16.-Jas. Cou-
zens, A., worth about $4,000, 900, and
credited with being the richest man in
Detroit with the exception of Henry
Ford, is just beginning his real life. he
says. Helping Ford create and develop
his gigantic automobile business he
considers child's play in comparison
ship of Detroit.
Now he has the underworld to fight,
the grating politicians and with these
the courts. For Jim Couzens is on trial
for contempt. The outcome may mean
success or failure to his campaign for a
clean city.
MY short experience in this job has
already taught me one big truth" Cou-
zens told me: THE wlsest thing the
Almighty ever did was to keep men
from having too much foresight. II 1

cleaning up Detroit was to be before

be doing something simple-like or
ganizing a bank, or running a factory,
or just making money!
But this Job! Why, it's going to be
nothing more nor less than trying to
pry out the whole secret of humanity
to find out why wrong is in the
world, and If II can be checked by we'll
intentioned forces. and HOW.
Detroit has grown in the last decade
almost unbelievably. Cheap music
halls, saloons and dens of various kinds
have sprung up until we really had
Co. al -
The amount of patronage these low
places got was appalling.
Something had to be done. I made
up my mind that although human ma
ture could not be changed, 1t could be
largely kept from bad influences. The
law was with me.
Street walking was stopped at once.
Music and drinking was forbidden In
the houses Rigid systems of medical
examinations were instituted.
I'm this way we could limit the
growth of the tenderloin. We could
also find out whic hgirls wanted to get
out Of the life, and help them do so.
$50 far II was easy. But putting the
method into practice 1 soon learned,
was a far different matter. AS in a
single movement the entire underworld
clicked together for defense. And every
crooked politician began his secret wire
pulling.
IT have begun the first real fight of
my life. For the first time in my life,
1 am dealing in those mysterious, dyna-
mic elements that makeup humanity.
For every move l make / must expect
a blow in return. But through Ii am
going to find out what life really isl"
So Jim Couzins, the y-million-dol-
lar chief of police followed the trail OF
vice right into the courts, defied

now must stand trial.
Jim Couzens is one of those lovable
fools who move the world little far

prominent Detroit citizen. Most of US
give him credit for the famous welfare
plan andfve-d ollar-a-day wage scale in
Henry Ford's plant. All the jails in

LATE LARGE SUBSCRIPTIONS
TO BONDS TO Be REJECTED
They Will Be Accepted Later,
Small Investors Get First
AIIOtmentS

WASHINGTON, June 16.-So heavily
is the Liberty Loan oversubscribed that
those who made heavy investments in
1t will receive only a portion of the
bonds for which they applied. The gov
eminent will not accept the money rep
resented by the surplus subscription
which amounts to nearly a billion dol
lars This was the decision of Secre-
tary McAdoo today.
Small subscriptions are not affected
by the ruling. The government will ex-
pect those whose heavy subscriptions
are not accepted at this time to renew
them when the next war bond issue Is
opened.
Treasury officials estimated tonight
that definite totals would not be avail
able until Wednesday. No official to-
tails whatever had been received from
any of the federal reserve districts to-
night.
THANKS PAPERS.
McAdoo gave credit to the newspapers
for the loans great success, in state
ment issued tonight. He said:
The Liberty Loan campaign was es-
sentially one of education and without
the generous and patriotic support OF
the nation, the hope of those in charge
that it would be popular loan would
not have been realized. The untiring ef-
IOTLB OIL the newspapers III Ou6hSNS S'S
campaign were constant inspiration to
the various other groups Of workers. AT
time when news space was at pre-
MUM, the Liberty Loan was featured
at length.
THE foreign language press in thir-
ty-six languages gave daily proof or
the undoubted loyalty of peoples Of for
eign birth.
at was done without thought of re-
turn, simply to aid the government
shall be most grateful to the press If
this acknowledgement is given wide
publicity"
STATEMENT OF ALLOTMENTS.
In his statement upon the allotments
to be made, Secretary McAdoo said:
at have asked the reserve banks to
tabulate separately and on supplementary
lists the subscriptions received yester-
day, June Is, after noon, in order that
I may be in a position to consider, in
making allotment of the two billion dol
lars Of bonds, those applications which
through no fault of the subscriber were
not recorded on time.
at shall avail myself Of the right re-
served in the circular offering the bonds,
to allot in full upon applications for
larger amounts, as such action Will be
clearly in the public interest"
IT is estimated that over 10000
subscri bers took up the loan. England s
first loan of over $4,000 900, 300 was talk
en- by only 100000 persons. Germany's
first loan was taken by 1,177,235 people.
Only in those banks subscribing for
more than 100000 of bonds will the
funds raised by the loan be deposited
However banks may pool their sub
scriptions to total 100000 and thus re-
ceive the funds.
