with an urgent request from Gen.
eral Pershing that 1000 briclllayers
be sent to France at once Provost
Marshal General Crowder has ordered
that men for this work be picked
from the draft registrants.
This will be the first draft OF skill
ed tradesmen for the new army, and
it gives an inkling Of how the War
Department has planned to operate
the seIective service system. Other
tradesmen will be called soon. General
Crowder intimates, for in sending the
kilograms to the various governors
giving their quota OF bricklayers, he
said there is an immediate need for
a considerable number OF skilled
men"
Bricklayers in deferred percentages
OF quotas or current 6uotas will be
taken at once, General Crowd6=
states, and others farther down the
master list are expected to apply for
voluntary induction into this service.
The latter class will be taken at once.
Only white men will be taken, and
they will be sent to the aviation Sec
tion, signal corps, Kelly Field. San
Antonio, Tex. Information on the

SOFT COAL SMOKE
TO Be OVERLOOKED
BYLAW ENFORCERS

Broad discretion Is TO be exercised
by District authorities in enforcement
of the smoke" law and regulations,
as a result OF the action Of the Dis
trict Fuel Administration in placing
Washington largely on a soft coal
basis.
Enforcement OF the law is not to be
waived, but in each case reported, the
kind and character OF coal used, the
coal supply available, and its quality
will be taken into consideration be
fore charges are brought against the
person responsible.
Many Washington buildings have
been belching forth great clouds OF
black smoke in recent weeks. Dis
trict Smoke Inspector E. W. Whitaker
is reporting all cases coming to his
notice. In every one OF them investi-
CATION is made, and II the smoke
officer finds the cause Is due to the
present coal situation no effort Is
made to hail the responsible party
into Police Court.
Chimneys on Washington homes
will soon be sending up black smoke.
Every househld that has a hot water,
steam, or vapor heating plant must
in future use soft coal. A number
of Government buildings that were
using hard as we'll as soft coal have
been put strictly upon a soft coal
basis.
