Officials of Provost Marshal General
CrOwder's Office were preparing for
the great number of inquiries and re-
quests for rulings which they expect
from the local boards as soon as ex-
animation of the men for the first

New York, July 23-When Germany
called Anton Lang, famous Christus of
the Oberambergau Passion Play, to
military service she inadvertently let
the cat out of the bag regarding her
military condition today.
That move, according to Gertrude
Atherton, famous authoress, proves
Germany is on her last legs and is
going to extremes to continue fight

Anton Lang is a consumptive and
has not been expected TO live long.
On account of his fame and popular
ity as inpersonator of Christ, and his
commercial value to Germany, he
would be perhaps last to be ordered
out.
"The obvious deduction" says Miss
Atherton, 'is if Germany is ordering

White of Kansas City has resigned as
a member of the shipping board, and
