LOCAL DRAFT BOARD
CONSIDERS CLAIMS

The local draft board for Escambia
county held session yesterday after
noon to consider the claims which Had
been filed by those liable for the sec
ond draft. Nearly all of the time of
the board was consumed in arrang-
ing the claims and placing them in
proper order.
Though there was a higher percen-
tage of those who passed the physical
examinations as compared with the
first draft, there were a larger num-
Der of claims for exemptions. There
is no particular need for haste in the
second call, as the forty per cent
quota has already been supplied. and
it will probably be next week before
the work of passing on the claims is
complete. AS soon as the local board
finishes the work, the names will be
certified to the appeal board. and the
cases reviewed.

American governments exposure of
German intrigue in expending money
by the Berlin foreign office in an eff
fort to influence congress OH the eve
of a ruthless submarine warfare,
which has plunged the United States
into war. This appeared probable
after Secretary Lansing had made
public without comment the message
sent to Berlin by German Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff, asking for authority
to use fifty thousand dollars to in
fluence congress through the "organi-
zation which had performed similar
service before"
On the floor cf the house late today,
Congressman Heflin of Alabama said
if permitted he would name some
members of both houses who acted
"suspiciously," and ought to be in
vestigated. Indications are that
many other exposures of German in
trigue may be revealed.

Ne,u Folder to Exploit
City's Beauty Is Needed

made for their stay here Aside from
the immediate advantages of such an
influx of visitors, it is stated that
this would be the means of bringing
many others to the city, and would
result in permanent improvement.
One of the easiest ways of interest
ing prospective visitors, DIR. Blocker
said is by sending them attractive
literature showing the business and
social life of the city, with weather
data, and the whole pamphlet amply
illustrated with good photographs
showing the points of interest, his
toric landmarks, modern developments
and pleasure resorts in and around
the city.
1t is hoped that arrangements can
be made for the preparation and pub
lication of a pamphlet which will do
credit to the city, and assist in bring
ing winter visitors to this section.
