Now that the final quota OF this
state for the new national army is
about to entrain for Camp Lewis,
American Lake, unusual interest
among many thousands Of registrants
left behind and not included in the
call, centers in the future action that
will be taken with regard to their re-
spective cases. No instructions have
been received by the authorities here.
All told Idaho had $4,000 registered
men prior to filling its first quota of
22S7 in the new national army. These
men range in age from 81 to 81 In
elusive and are recognized as the very
flower of the state. They are the men
who are at present sitting on the anx-

they will be called before their respec
tive exemption boards for physical eX-
animation and acceptance or rejection
for military service. The respective
county and district boards in Idaho are
prepared to so ahead with examining
and mobilizing the men needed upon
Instructions from Washington.
A SPLENDID RECORD.

has done as we'll as the states that con
tributed the greatest number OF men

and much better than many Of the
states, 1t Is claimed by military Off

WHAT CHANGE PROVIDES.
The new system of choosing men fo>
future drafts as announced by Proves

A trough-like area of low pressure
extends from the middle and north
Pacific coast southeastward to Arizona.
Elsewhere the pressure is high, the
highest readings being in the Lake
region and the middle Mississippi val
ley. Precipitation has been confined to
a few southwestern stations. The tenn
perature changes have been generally
unimportant except in eastern Wash

it is 10 degrees cooler in southern New

Every opportunity for appeal from

The classificaton's main purpose is
economic--it was informally stated. In

who can give no good reason against

OLD NUMBERS STAND.
The order number drawn for each
man in the great lottery here last July
will determine the turn in the class in
which each man Is called in that class.

IS POLIGE Chief

With but minor amendments. includ
ing some Of those proposed by the
Chamber Of Commerce. Representative
Lorrin Andrews city charter bill has
practically been accepted by the Oahu
delegation Of the house, barring one
section on which now hinges q mild
disagreement, or rather an uncer
tainfy.
Every section Of the charter bill
with the exception OF the one proyid.
ing for the appointment Of a chief oil
police by the mayor with the approval
Of the board of supervisors, has been
passed, il was learned today, the semi
final windup having come at meet
ing of the delegation yesterday after
noon.
Point Remains Unsettled
The difficulty nov confronting the
delegation is the provision regarding
the chief Of police. The problem for
the delegation to solve is to provide
for a chief Of police with jurisdiction
throughout the island of Oahu, or to
turn the powers back into the hands
Of the sheriff, who now holds them
One member of the delegation says
1t was understood that the idea was
to have the mayor appoint a chief of
police only for the district OF Homo
lulu, deputy sheriffs to have control
Of police in the outside districts on
this island. But now the matter has
simmered down to the question of
whether the chief shall be vested with
all the powers, or whether there be no
provision for the, creation of this Of
flee.
Department Heads Eieete6
The delegation has agreed that the
heads of departments shall be elected
by the people,. and not appointed by
the mayor and supervisors. tt has
been further agreed, as announced in
the Star-Bulletin yesterday. that there
shall be six instead of seven super.
yisors. three from the fifth and three
from the fourth district. When the
vote was taken on the supervisors yes
terday, only six members were pres
ent, four voting for and two against.
IT was learned today, however, that
two other members went to the meet
ing later and agreed with the majority
on this point.
Superintendent 70 Be Appointed
Another charter provision that has
been agreed to is that regarding the
superintendent of city works The
Starr Bulletin is informed that the dele
cation has agreed that the superin-
tendent shall be appointed by the.
mayor with consent of the board Of
supervisors.
