Immediate steps for handling
the registration of Tacoma men
who come under the selective
conscription age limit of 81 to 81,
were started by Mayor Fawcett
Monday.
A committee to handle the reg
istration will consist of City Clerk
Nickeus, Health Officer Henry,
and City Controller Shoemaker.
Registration cards have been in
the mayors hands for three
weeks. Preparations for handling
the registration will be rushed,
so that Tacoma will be in a posi-
ton to do the work with despatch
on June 5.
Two Volunteer.
1t is probable that registration
will take place in each of the
city precinct places, or voting
halls. The state is planning to
handle the entire registration
without expense to the govern
ment, and Mayor Fawcett, fol-
lowing this policy, will ask for
volunteer workers to handle the
taking of names in each precinct.

their places of business for poll

Yates offers his hall free, and
Baum his barber shop, both of
them acting as clerks.
Blanks All Here.
The registration cards and re-
ceipts, which show that a man
has registered. along with blanks
giving the rules of the draft law,
were received by the sheriff Mon
day morning.
The swearing in of the persons
who have volunteered to act as
clerks, is the next step by the
sheriff. He will also distribute
the cards.
From then on the rest of the

Wilson's cabinet will

portoflios-secretary of food ad-
ministration, secretary of NUM-
tions and supplies, and a secre-
tary of MISUNDERSTANDING
to official belief here today.
Action by the senate in limit

national defense so that much of
the work now being done by the
advisory committee of the coun-
ell will be shifted back directly
to the shoulders of the cabinet,
has made new posts in the cab
met imperative, officials declare.
The senate doesn't like the
council of national dfense. It's
reasons are political. Members
of the advisory committee were
appointed by the president with
out the traditional advice and
consent of the senate"
Secretaries OverwOrked
Secretary of War Baker is left
not only with the work of rails
ing an army, but also with the
work Of raising supplies and mu-
nitions for the army. The same
Is true of Secretary Daniels.
The work of getting supplies
and munitions must be central
lied. So must the problem of
transportation. This can be done
only by placing men with the
same authority as present cabinet
members in charge of the work.
Create Position.
The post of secretary of food
administration" has practically
been created in the appointment
by President Wilson of Herbert
G. Hoover.
While Hoover prefers to serve
without pay, there is a bill now
pending In the senate creating the
very post he now fills, giving him
the authority he needs and the
same salary and scope of work as
member of the cabinet.
Men under consideration for
posts of secretary of munitions
and secretary of transportation
are also men who prefer to work
for no salary and as a result the
new additions to the war cab
met of course, only
for the purpose of war-may all
be non-salaried officials.

money from some of it's funds for

bonds, and permit employees to pay
for them at a rate of 81 week,
or on whatever scale they desir-
ed. The money. could be taken
direct from their wages.
He proposed that $1,000 worth
of $50 bonds be purchased as a
starter. Gronen also suggested
