Guard crew to come out and
pilot them in over the bar. The
power boat was soon on the
way out to the vessel but Cap
tain Westerdale came right on
and really did not need any pilot
ing. He came in without any
trouble and tied up at the city
docks. The Powers was being
towed to Astoria but the north
west wind blew so strong that
when they got nearly to the
mouth of the Siletz river, had to
turn back and come into New
port for shelter. The Cleaner
went back to Umpqua but will
return again when the wind
calms down and take The Pow
ers to Astoria where she will be
used on the Columbia river as a
tow boat.

REGARDING THE DRAFT

Every man in Oregon register
ed under the selective conscrip-
ton act should know just what
to do If his number is drawn and
he is called for service on the
first draft, soon to be made.
First, he should learn at once,
if he has not already done SO, the
new red ink serial number of his
registration card. He can learn
this, if registered in this county,
by looking in this issue of the
Leader.
AS soon as the names of tn.
men. % be called from Oregon
on the first draft are known, the
local exemption board in each
county will post a list of the men
drawn from that county. Only
in counties that have already
supplied their full quotas
through volunteers in the regu-
lar army and National Guard,
will this not be done.
The county exemption boards
will also send notification, at
the address on his registration
card, to each man called. This
letter will direct the man drafted
to appear before the board fol
physical examination on a spec.
ified date
Whether or not the man call
ed intends to file a claim for ex
emption or discharge, he mus
appear without fail on the dat
named.
If he desires to file claim TO
exemption or discharge, he hat
seven days in which to do 81
from the day the call to hin
was mailed and posted. Th
; procedure is more simple thai
is generally supposed.
First, If you come under tn
; exemption class, go to your ex
emption board and ask for Forr
, 10 for exemption, or Form ~
; for discharge (men having de
/ pendents apply for discharge in
stead of for exemption). Sec
!. ond, fill out the proper form an
,. file 1t with the board. Third d
D this within seven days of tn
posting of the call to you t
< present yourself before tn
board.
e After having filed your CLAIM
:. however, you will still have te
days in which to file proof. A
proofs must be in the form {
affidavits. Upon application tn
board will give you the ofIici;
y blank forms for these affidavit
Have the afiidavits properl
n made out and return them to th
n board within the 10 days tim
limit.
!, Another important fact to r,
= member is that county exeml
g ton boards cannot considt
: claims for industrial exemption
Such claims must be made
r one Of the three district boart
IL that will sit at Portland, at L
Grande and at Eugene.
q Moreover, claims for indu,
e trial exemption cannot be file
& with the district boards until tn
8 county exemption board ha
e certified and posted your nam
as one who has been called fc
It service and not exempted or dil
charged.

over RAILROADS
NOON TOMORROW
associates Press by U. S. Naval Wirslsss.,

(ASsoeiatsd Press by v. 3. Naval WheleSs)
WASHINGTON, D. c., ice. G.-At
noon tomorrow all the railroad lines In
continental United States will be
taken over by the United States gov
eminent as a war measure and the
combined system will be operated as
one. This was announced by tho
President yesterday evening, HIS an
nouncement coming as the climax Of
an agitation that has been under way
tor several weeks. -. ~ = L.
William G. McAdoo, secretary Of the
treasury and son-in-law Of the presl-
dent, has been named as director gen.
eral of the railroad board Of manage
ment. His new duties will not make
necessary his retirement from the cab
met, it is explained, and he will con-
tinue to act as the head Of the treas
ury department. *
Accompanying the proclamation an.
nouncing the taking over of the rail-
roads the president issued state
ment that he would go before congress
and ask for definite guarantees that
all the properties of the railroads Will
be maintained in good repair and the
equipment kept up as completely as it
is when the lines pass over into gov
eminent control.
1t will be further guaranteed that
the net income from the lines will be
for each what the average operating
net income has been during the three
years prior to June 80, 1917.
Discussing the momentous war step,
officials here state that the main prac
tical effect of the taking over Of the
railroads and their operation by the
government will be to permit a COM
plete unification of the entire rail sys.
tenn of the nation, something prohib.
tied under the law so long as the lines
were privately maintained and oper,
ated.
The plan of the government includes
the taking over Immediately of every
road engaged in general transporta-
ton. with all their appurtenances, in
Guiding the railroad owned steamship
lines. Local interurban systems,
which are generally electric, will not
be included in the govtrnment sys-
tenn.
The direct management will remain
in the hands of the present railroad Of
ficials, who will work under the rail-
road war board, the board itself being
under the supervision of Secretary
McAdoo.

D. S. ARRANGES TO BUY entire
CUBAN SUGAR OUTPUT AT S46O

growing Cuba crop. This price has
been agreed on at approximately
4.60c I. o. b. Cuba. The united efforts
of the food administration through the
International Sugar committee headed
by Mr.. Rolph, and President Menocal
Of Cuba and the Cuban Planters COM
mittee were called into play to- com.
plete this enormous transaction. When
the food administration arranged i
price for the domestic beet production
of over S00,0U0 tons, the undertaking
was large one, while We now have a
transaction involving almost four
times the quantity included in the do
nestle beet outturn.
THAT the details alone attending
such a quantity of sugar are almost
endless is obvious. The various inter
ests, planter, manufacturer, shipper,
commission merchant, refiner and
broker are all vitality interested and
each and every one has to be protect
ed as to his interests, and the labor
attending such details to satisfy the
various parties included is tremen-
dous. We covered in our Daily Sugar
Trade Journal recently part OF the
difficulties to contend with, and
among which we mentioned the rapid
ity with which the Cuba crop is man
ufactured.
At the end of January, 1917, Cuba
had made 402,27S tons OF sugar, while
at the end Of May, 1917, there was
produced 2,55S,351 tons or over 2,100,-
900 tons in four months. This sugar
will all have to be taken care, of,
either by financing the planters to
hold part OF the sugar until wanted,
or else find sufficient tonnage to con-
yey the surplus sugar to the different
Atlantic ports and Gulf refineries or

|GALLINGER BACK
OF CHINESE LABOR
IMPORTATION plan

Apparently the movement to secure
the importation of Chinese labor into
Hawaii is moving along in Congress
Yesterday there reached Honolulu
copies of resolution introduced on
December into the senate by Sen
ator Gallinger of New Hampshire
The resolution reads:
"ResoIved, that the committee on
agriculture is hereby directed to make
careful investigation into the advis
ability Of recommending legislation
that will permit the importation OF
Chinese into the United States, un
der proper restrictions and reauIa
tons, during the continuance of the
war;"
The advisability of importing 10000
Chinese laborers into Hawaii, parti
cularly for work in the rice-fields
was laid before the congressional par,
ty during it's visit last month by prom
inent Chinese and white spokesman
for them, but the party had not had
time to get back to Washington and
put this data in shape, so that it is
presumed the Gallinger resolution is
Independent of the representations
made to the visiting congressman. The

ITALIAN FRONT
IS STILL TORN
IN BIG BATTLE
tA.soeIated Press BY U. s. Naval wlrsIs.,.)

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. III.
Throughout yesterday the battle OF
the Italian front waged with continu-
ed violence with the Italians taking
the offensive as they had done on
Christmas Day and launching a series
of successful counters against the
Austro-German forces
West of the Brenta river the Ital
fans followed up the advantage o:
their counters Of Tuesday with other
successful counters and on this sec
tor maintained the gains of both days.
Battle RACES F!erceIy
It was in the vicinity of Del Rose
hill and Monte Devalbella where the
most severe fighting of the bloody day
occurred. In that sector in the morn
ing the Italians countered fiercely
and for several hours the engagement
proceeded with great violence. In
these counters the Italians wrestei
several positions from the enemy, but
before renewed onslaughts and with
largely reinforced bodies engaged in
the attacks, the Italians we're forced
to give some of their ground which
they had taken but with some gains
won in the battle still in their Dos
session when night fell.
