ALIENS ON DOUBTFUL
LIST TO BE RECALLED
Local Draft Boards Will Act
Promptly on Judge Dickin-
sons Ruling

Local draft boaNis are preparing today
to recall many men lin their districts whom
they have discharged from military service
because Of their claims that they were
exempt as aliens. Judge Dickinson's de-
cision that the Federal Court has no juris-
diction to interfere with the draft boards
I'm certifying aliens for the new National
Army has placed the draft regulations in
a new light, and these boards are conse-
auently reopening the cases of natives Of
foreign countries.
Many cases OF aliens heretofore held in
the doubtful list are now automatically
determined, and II Is expected that the next
movement of recruits TO Camp Meade will
include a considerable proportion OF for
eiRn-born residents Now the draft boards
feel that the foreign consuls cannot inter-
fere with the calling OF aliens, so the boards
will proceed with the full authority vested
in them by the draft act Unless a for
eigner can present ample proof OF his citi-
zenship in another country, such as clti-
zenshlp papers or passports duly signed.
he Is liable for service, In the opinion Of
these boards.
with more than 5000 friends and rela-
tives present to bid them farewell, 33l addi-
tionai drafted men left the Twenty fourth

more and Ohio for Camp Meade yesterday.
Most OF the men we're from the Eighth

ROBBED OF HIS WATCH,
ALSO HIS FALSE TEETH
Strategy of Thieves Kept Victim From
Giving Alarm, but They Are Caught
Near Scene of Exploit

Strategy is one OF the chief assets of Joe
McCarty, of Wilkes-Barre. and Joe Miller,
of Wrightstown. They relieved John Woodt
Of Chester, Of his watch. the police say.
and then took his false teeth SO that he
couldn't shout for help
The trio, after wandering about for quar-
ters in a hotel, gave it up as a bad job
and went TO sleep on the sidewalk near
Delaware avenue and Chestnut street. The
nrst thing Wood realized on awakening
was that his open-air bedfellows were miss
ing. His hand went mechanically TO his
watch pocket. AS he suspected, the ticker
was gone. BY some strange chance a po-
liceman happened along. Wood attempted
10 tell the cop what had happened and then
discovered that his teeth, many OF which
we're gold. were missing.
But with all their strategy, McCarty and
W. Miller had not managed TO get far
away. They were arrested dt Second and
Chestnut streets and taken 70 City Hall.
rho teeth, IL is said, were found on Nc
carty
Each was held in a4oO bail for court by
Magistrate Pennock.
