FOR DRAFT BOARDS
Two Physical Examinations for
Each Man If Needed.
Drawing Up Regulations to
Govern Exemption Boards.

Washington, June 1.-THE first &C
tual step toward formation of boards
which will consider exemptions from
service in the new national armies
raised by CONSUMPTION, was taken to-
day when a plan for exemption of
those physically unfit, was submitted
to President Wilson by special board
of lawyers, jurist and military author
tiles.
The plan provides that each local
exemption board will have as one
member a physician who will give
the first test. When he rejects a man
the other board members must sum-
mon another physician who will make
an examination, not knowing the first
doctors decision. If the decisions are
the same the man declared unfit.
Can Appeal If Rejected.
The regular physician member of
the exemption board will probably be
the county or city surgeon. According
to the plan in such cases of doubt the
board may summon several doctors,
one after another, to submit a dag
noSis. The man that is rejected or
refused may appeal to the appellate
court of the district for another test.
President Wilson is today consider
ing the vital exemption regulations as
submitted by the special board This
body has been working on the regula-
tons for weeks.
Within a few days announcement of
the rules for the guidance of exemp-
ton boards is expected.
Altho it is definitely decided that
there will be no wholesale class eX-
emptions, most of the regulations are
yet to be settled upon.

This high cost of living prob
lem can't be settled at a single

The experts of the federal gov
eminent at Washington have pre-
pared a little book which shows
you how you can save on your
bread bill and make some novel and
delicious breads as we'll.
1t gives full directions for MAX
ing the best bread of all kinds
white bread, rye bread, corn-meal
bread, potato bread, rice bread, nut
bread, rolled oats bread. The State
Journal will be glad to send you a

This book has been marked by
the government ''of special interest
to the housekeepers."

Noted British Publisher on Mis-
sion for Government.
To Work Along Industrial and
Economic Lines in Z. S.

New York, June 11.-Lord North
cliffe, noted British publicist and pub
Usher, arrived at an American port
today ready to take up his work as
head of the British war mission in
this country. Until he presents his
credentials at Washington, Northcliffe
declined any extended statement He
had previously indicated what may be
expected of him here, however, thru
a statement to the United Press before
leaving London that he was coming
strictly for business and would open
offices in the down town district of
New York.
In a statement issued upon his ar
rival today, Northcliffe said:
THE war cabinet has designated
me head of the British war mission
to the United States and I have been
instructed to try to coordinate the
work of the various admirable British
organizations already established here.
We are charged with the task of sup
plying our war and other needs.
Often Visited q. S.
Until 1 present my credentials at
Washington, it is impossible for me to
make any further statement
Il can, however, express my very
great pleasure at being again in
America, which I have so often visit
ed and which has many delightful as
sociations and friendships for me-

A WelSh-IriShman
Lord Northcliffe, a Welshman by
ancestral lineage and an Irishman by
birth, is today the most powerful man
in all England. He first launched
himself into the public eye of England
when he began newspaper career as
Alfred Harmsworth. His success was
amazing and meteoric.
The war brought him broader OPP
portunities as in the case of Asquith
and Lloyd George. 1t was largely
thru his agitation that the people OF
England were aroused to the peril
that threatened their nation. He di-
rected the great advertising campaign

ENEMIES SWAP WARES
German Soldiers Trade Cutlery for
Russians Soap.
BY VIM. G. SHEPHERD.

Petrograd, June 11.-Germany not
only had her eye to the main chance
for peace in urging her soldiers to
fraternize with their Russian oppon-
ents, but she encouraged her fighting
men to trade with the enemy"
German soldiers got incredible
quantities of soap, bread and linen
from their Russian comrades" when
the determination was in progress.
Orders from the war ministry for
bidding not only determination, but
the sending over to enemy trenches
of any article except with hostile in
tent. revealed the full extent of the
German scheme today The Teutonic
soldiers were furnished with a vast
amount of cheap cutlery. pen knives
and the like, and with these they did
a f1ourishing business in trading The
scarcity of oils in Germany has made
soap a luxury, SO that this comm odity
was most in demand.
The newspaper Nuvo Virema today
asserted the trading scheme was in
full operation over a front of nearly
100 miles, the vast supplies of CHEAP
trinkets along this line making it per
fectly apparent that the whole idea
was conceived by the German authori-
ties.

BILLIARDS. BEST FLIGHT
Topekan Makes Eleven Loops in Sue
cession Over City Sunday Evening.

Phil Billiard of Topeka, recognized
as one of the best aviators in the coun-
try, put on a forty-five minute per-
Torrance Sunday evening that is prob
ably ahead of anything ever seen in
this part of the country. Dipping,
falling. volplaning. looping and roll
ing he exhibited all the pranks in the
air that are carried out over the Euro
pean battlefieldS.
His best feat was the manipulation
of eleven successive loop-the-loops.
Billiard did better than the commonly
known loop. Instead of turning over
and then sliding into position as is
done by most flyers he made the COM
plete loop, head first and did it
eleven times without sailing away to
recover. While making this unusual
circle he discovered that his mechanic
had placed the common indicator cap
on the gasoline tank instead of the air
tight cap for loop purposes and he
was sprinkled with gasoline. The
fumes made him deathly sick for sew
eral minutes but he maintained con-
troll of the machine.
Billiard made one drop that sent a
! thrill thru the thousands who watched
him from the city. He fell, tail down,
1000 feet and then righted himself
His dips and rolls were perfect and
the machine, altho appearing to be in
a falling condition, never was beyond
Billiards. control At times he would
shut off his motor and trail thru the
air like a lodging bird, then start the
motor again and resume his tactics.
Billiard is planning many more
flights this week. He may fly again
this evening.
The flight yesterday was the most
spectacular 1 have ever witnessed, .

watched the flyers of the army and
navy on the Pacific coast

Theo. Roosevelt, in addressing the

Let every boy in the country serve

himself fittest. whether he is the son

brakeman or a railway president. Let
the discipline be strict IN the per-
Torrance of duty, obedience instant
and unfaltering."
Colonel Roosevelt declared, thru
unpreparedness and taking little
thought of the morrow, the people of
the United States have been attribut-
ing to their virtues much which they
really owe TO the fact that they are on
a new continent, separated by two
great oceans from the old world.

Referring to the industrial situa-
ton, the ex-president declared this is

But" he added sit is eminent

those who go to the front.
