CHILDREN IN DANGER.

There are some children in this
city who are playing with fire and
may be sorry for it. Postmaster
Finley informs the Times that
twice this week children have
opened post office boxes of busi-
ness houses, taken out the mail
and scattered it over the street.
One of the letters found con-
tanned a check for SiOO, and
there may have been other letters
containing money which have not
been found. 1t is penitentiary
offense to take mail out of a post
office box and if the children are
caught they surely will be prose-
cuted. This is not the first time
it has happened and it will not
be countenanced. Each person
should keep their post office box
locked, but when it isn't, children
are violating the law when they
open them. Parents cannot blame
anyone if their child lands in Jail,
if they do not take care OF them.

Des Moines, Iaa Nov. 4 {. No
more will the office OF Governor
w. L. Harding be cluttered with
hundreds of letters from drafted
men asking to have their cases
reopened, with a view of dis
charge.
The Provost Marshal General
has ruled that time enough has
elapsed to handle such cases and
as result John Fletcher, former
assistant attorney general, who
has been representing the gov
ernor in this matter, has ceased
his labors.
Drafted men who have already
asked to have their cases reop-
iened will waste their time if they:
make application now, for the
Provost Marshal has held that
no such case can be considered
unless the man makes applica-
tion within seven days after re-
ceiving notice that he has been.
held for service. Nearly all the
drafted men in Iowa have, re-
sceived such notice weeks ago,
which will cut down the eligible
Slistft a score or more.
Under the new ruling, what few
cases there are will, in the future,
be sent to Adjutant General Lo-
gan, instead of to the governor,
'as in the past, and these cases
will receive no consideration un-l
less the proper board certifies.
that the application for a rehear-
ing is within the seven-day limit
from the time the man was noti-
fled that he was held for service.
Men already in the service will
not be given any chance to have
their cases passed upon by local
and district boards. They will
have their cases considered under
the Army Regulations, by the Di-
vision Commander. Should Gen
eral Plummer want any informa-
ton on any particular case, he
will ask for it from the local
and district board through the ad-
|jutant general.
