.KIDDIES ARE AIDING
LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
Young America Helping to Make
World Safe for Democracy.

Young America Is helping TO
make the world safe for democracy,
according to Superintendent OF
Schools Ernest L. Thurston, when
he made public a list OF schools
whose pupils have subscribed to
the Second Liberty Loan.
Giving up the movies and other
things dear to a child and in many
instances emptying the dime bank,
pupils of the District public stand
foremost in subscriptions to the lib
erty loan.
One hundred and sixty pupils OF
the Z. V. Brown school are proud
possessors of liberty bonds. Sixty
of the pupils earned the money or
have taken it from their savings.
To hear the tick-tick of a watch
and be able to say that she had
purchased it with her savings was
the ambition of one little girl in
the Powell School. but when Uncle
Sam asked for money to back the
boys at the front, the little girl
lost no time in purchasing a bond
with the savings that would one
day make her the proud owner OF
the much coveted watch.
Fritz, a youngster in the Powell
School. whose modesty prevented
him giving his last name reported
he bought bond all by himself
II went down to the bank Satur-
day." he adds. "and drew out IS OF
my own money. and paid it on a
bond. Now l must earn IS every
month, and I shall do it by wiping
the dishes for mother and by help
ing her in every way / can. Mother
says l am helping my country, help
ing her and myself when 1 bought
the bond"

AUSTRIAN COOK
is FINED SIS
Camp Meade Chef Is Said to
Have Cursed Allied
Nations. 10

you ought to be ashamed Of your
self Here you are working for Uncle
Sam and then turn right around and
curse him for giving you a living"
This denunciation came from Judge
Mullowny in Police Court yesterday
morning to steve Poprick, former pas
try cook at Camp Meade, charged with
digorderly conduct.
Policeman L. A. Carlin, of No. 3, ar
rested Poprick. who is an Austrian

military service. at Seventeenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue Thursday
afternoon, on complaint of two en-
ployes of the War Department, who
had heard Poprick make some very
profane and obscene remarks about
the President and the government.
II am sorry" continued the court,
that you are not here on a more seri-
Gus charge. Why don't you go over to
Germany and cook for the Kaiser and
make a mistake. What did you ever
come to this country for anyhow?
Why didn't you stay in Austria and
fight for Francis Joseph, like you said
you wanted to do.
Nc Peace for Such Men.
This country is no place for men
like you, especially a place In any
army camp. / am sorry 1 cannot fine
you more than SIS on this charge. II
you can't pay your fine you can go to
jail for six MONTHS He paid the fine.
According to Policeman Carlin, Pop
rick was under the influence of liquor
and entered shoe-shining parlor
where some Italians were working
and cursed Italy. the allies and the
hole United States government. Two
employees of the War Department
overheard the man and went after

five years in the Austrian army and is
unnaturalized. How he came to be
employed at an army camp is not
known. He left yesterday, he said,
for another army camp in Florida.

MAY CONSCRIPT
TRADE WORKERS
US. Plans Examination and
Tabulation Of All Reg
istered Men.

Completion of the task of examin-
ing the balance of the ten million
registered men means that Uncle Sam
will be in a position to avail himself
of some kind of an Industrial and
agricultural conscription.
And It Is suspected, from apparent
needs of the hour as voiced by nu-
merous officials, that this is the very
thing in the administrator mind in
providing for this immediate carrying
on of the draft examination.
Just now the need in this country
is not for soldiers. although 1t is
highly desirable that so many men
as possible be enlisted SO as to under
go the necessarily long preparation
for the night abroad. But the crying
need is for men to build ships ana
to engage in other near-war tasks,
without which all these soldiers, no
matter how well trained, and all am
munition anad war implements, no
matter how exhaustively supplied.
would be little short Of worthless to
the battle line in Europe.
Need for Agricuiturists.
As nearly as acute as the need for
Industrial conscripts Is the need for
agriculturists. In many sections OF
the country there are reported to be
shortages in the acreage of crops
planted for next year, and in the
help available to take up the task
in the spring. Yet there are enough
men in the country to attend to this.
The problem Is to get these men to
the rlace where they are needed. The
FIRST step toward solution of the prob
lem is the registration OF the men
under the very system devised py
Gen. Crowder and his aideS-the next
step after that Is TO assign the men
to specific duties in industrial ana
agricultural lines.
This, perhaps, may mean that thou
sands, IL not millions OF men, will be
taken from their usual walks OF life
TO enter one of the three war walks
service in the army, in the shipyards
or in the cornield.
The mammoth task in connection
with this form of conscripion in the
event it is undertaken, OF course, is
In devise some fair means for assign
ing the men to the various services.
This can be done by means Of draw
ing OF some kind-certain numbers
drawn from the vials to be assigned
to certain services, and so on. An
other method would be to assign men
on the basis of their proximity TO
the classes of work for which they arc
needed.
Program Is Planned.
1t has not been announced just
vet what are the needs. in either
the AGRICULTURAL or industrial serV-
ices. This computation will have 10
be made on a fairly accurate basis
so that the men picked will not
crowd out the strictly military
membership. And it is likely, fur
ther, that some provision will be
made that the agricultural and in
dustrial assignments do not exempt
the men from military duty. but
that it only relieves them of 1t
for the time they are assigned.
The vastness of the problem Is
admitted by some of the officers
who are giving it thought. The ex-
act date of the appearance Of Gen.
Crowder's regulations has not been
made known. but it is thought here
that they will not be available for
several days.
