ALL TO AID DRAFT
WILSON APPEALS TO PATRIOTISM.
OF ALL TO ASSIST IN WORK
OF SELECTING ARMIES.
TO CLASSIFY TEN MILLION
Blanks Which Registered Men Will
Fill Out Are Being Forwarded
to Local Boards-To Com
plete Work in Sixty
DAYS..

Washington, Nov. 12-President
Wilson formally put the new machin-
cry for the carrying out of the selec-
tive draft bill into operation Saturday
with the publication of the foreword
he has written to the regulations under
which the second call will be made.
The regulations themselves and the
ouestionaires which more than 90O0,-
900 registrants will be required to fill
out are being forwarded to local
boards but have not yet been made
public.
War department officials estimate
that the whole process can be COM
pleted within sixty days. This means
that no second call will be made upon
the draft forces before the middle OF
next February, as the period of classi-
fcation will not begin until Decem.
Der Is.
The president describes the new
plan of dividing all registered men not
already modified into five classes, SUBJ
ject to military service by classes, as
being intended to produce "a more
pOl1COI O1SdA1LdtlOA VI O0A AAdh
power"
"The selective principle must be car
ried to it's logical conclusion the pres
ident said, and he added that there
must be made a complete inventory of
the qualifications of each registrant in
order to determine "the place in the
military, industrial or agricultural
ranks of the nation in which his expert
ence and training can best be made to
serve the common good"
The inquiry projected in the ques-
Honnafre will go deep into the qualifica-
tons of each of nearly 100000 men.
Supplementing the presidents call
to the nation, Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder issued statement in
which he said:
"Questionnaires are to be mailed by
the local board to per cent of the
registrants each day. The principal
work of the legal advisory boards will
thus be over in 20 days, by which time
all the Questionnaires should be re-
turned to the boards. Every man has
seven : days in which to return his
QUESTIONABLE fully made out. The
process of classification will begin
about December 10. Eight days later
the boards will begin the great pro-
cess of classification which becomes,
in the words of the president, a ma
tional war undertaking of such signifi-
canoe as to challenge the attention
and compel the assistance Of every
American"

DIAz LEADS ITALIANS CANNED GOODS SAFE
NO DANGER OF BoTULIsM IN
PROPERLY PREPARED GOODS.
U. S. Department of Agriculture Issues
Statement Prepared by Bureau
Psychologists.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The United
States department of agriculture has
issued the following statement pre-
pared by the psychologists of it's bu-
reau of chemistry and the states rela-
lions service:
There is no danger that the type
of food poisoning known as Botu-
vegetables which have been canned
by any of the methods recommended
by the United States department OF
agriculture, provided such directions
have been followed carefully. 1t is
possible that in a number of instances
lowed and that spoilage has occurred.
OF course, extreme care. should be
taken to ascertain before eating
canned goods Of any kind whether
they are In good condition, and if they
have spoiled they should not be con-
sumed.
TN case of any doubt as to Wheth-
er the contents of a particular can
have spoiled, the safest plan is to
throw it away, although all danger Of
Botulism may be avoided by boiling
the contents of the can for few min
utes, since the Bacillus botulinus
and the toxin or poison which it pro-
duces are killed by such treatment. No
canned goods of any kind which shows
any signs of spoilage should ever be
eaten. In the cold pack method of
canning given out by the department
of agriculture, only fresh vegetables
are recommended for canning, and
sterilization is accomplished by the
following processes: Cleansing, blanch-
ing, cold dipping, packing in clean,
hot Jars, adding boiling water,
sealing Immediately and then steriliz-
ing the sealed jars at a minimum tenn
perature Of PIP degrees Fahrenheit for
one to four hours, according to the
character Of the material. Since the
spores of b. botulinus are killed by
heating for one hour at 175 degrees
Fahrenheit according to Jordan's
'Bacteriology' and other recognized
textbooks) there is no reason to be-
lieve that the botulinus organism will
survive such treatment"
