Voluntary Enlistment Up to June 30
Will Count Against Draft in Fill

CAPT. GIBSON IN TOWN

The wind-up of the enlistment cam
paign in Vermont is in progress this
week. 1t is the final drive to secure
voluntary enlistments to avoid the
draft.
Voluntary enlistments this week in
the national guard or in the regular
army will count toward the quota
to be supplied by the draft Benning-
ton has already a good start toward
its quota, but needs few more.
Capt E. w. Gibson is here and
spoke at South SALISBURY this noon
and in company with John Spargo
and Frank E. Howe will hold out door
meetings this evening at Arlington
and East Arlington. He plans to go
to Dorset and Manchester tomorrow.
He states that the Vermont regi-
ment needs 900 more men. Company
is leading, but there are two COM
panies in the regiment that are not
more than half filled.
In regard to the volunteer enlist
ments counting against the draft the
following is from an announcement
made at Washington.
1T was announced tonight that
June 80 is the last day upon which
enlistments in any State will count
toward that States quota of men to
be selected from the draft,
This is taken to indicate that the
drawing will begin shortly after July
l. The National Guard authorities of
each State are asked to report as
soon as possible after the close of
recruiting on June 80 the total num-
Der of men recruited during the
To totals of recruiting be-
tween April and June 80 will be
added the number of men in the Ma
tional Guard of each State on March
81.
Men enlisted in the Regular Army
between April 1 and June 80 also will
be added to the number to be counted
in as part of each States quota under
the selective draft system and the
regulations about to be promulgated.
Members of the National Guard who
have been discharged since April /
will count in the total of enlistments."

CENSUS ESTIMATE SHORT
More Than 1o,o7e,ooo Men of Military
AGE in ". S.

Washington. June 2i.-On the face
OF. the draft Registration returns, there
are more men between the ages of q
and 80 years. inclusive, in the United
States than were estimated by the
Census Bureau On May u. The cen
sus estimate was that there were 1O,-
079000 men between these ages. Care
full study of the registration figures
shows that when allowance is made
for the number of men already in the
military and naval service of the
country and when this allowance is
added to the number registered on
June 5, there is an excess of about
100000 over the Governments esti-
mate. Director Sam l.. Rodgers of
the Census Bureau, authorized state
ment to this effect, after making an
analysis of the returns.
Returns from every State with Mag
ara County. n. Y, and three precincts
in Wyoming missing, show registra-
tion of 9,659,3S2, or 95.9 per cent. of
the Census Bureaus estimate, allow
ance being made for the missing ter
ritory. The apparent shortage, about
413,000, is only a partial offset to
100000 men between u and 80 years,
who were in the military and naval
service of the United States June 5,
and for that reason exempt from the
requirement of registration.

END OF MARBLE POLISHING
Prisoners at Workhouse to Have
New Jobs.

Rutland, June 26-Judge John
E. Weeks Of Middlebury, Director of
State Institutions, announces some
important changes in Vermont pris-
ons. one most affecting Rutland be-
ing the replacement of the marble
finishing Industry at the House of
Correction by shirt manufactuory,
in which both men and women pris-
oners' will be employed.
While the contract has not been
signed, an agreement has been entered
into whereby the Reliable Manufac-
turing Company Of Chicago will
have contract for period of three
years for the manufacture, at the
local institution of workingmen's
shirts. This change will be opera
tive about October l or as soon as
contracts already made for marble
can be finished.
The renewal by Director Weeks of
a contract at the State Prison at
Windsor, where a similar arrange
ment has been in operation, made
possible an arrangement for the in
stitution at advantageous terms.
The Chicago firm is to furnish
material, machines and supervision
and the state provides buildings,
power and labor. The only changes
in the quarters necessary for the in
dustry, will be new floor and re-
finishing of the walls. The Reliance
concern not only provides the ma
chimes and operating appliances, but
installs them and connects the power
after 1t Is brought to the premises.
The contract will be on piece
work basis, paying so much for q
dozen garments, and It is expected to
be much more profitable than the
present work, not only per worker,
but also because of the fact that wo-
men, an important percentage of the
inmates, will be provided with labor,
whereas at present their time has not
been very fully occupied with the
sewing, laundry work, etc, of the
institution.
Judge Weeks said, in referring to
the new industry: "The change In
busines is made necessary by recent
conditions in the country and the
apparent prospect of Federal legisla-
tion which may interfere with the
manufacture of marble by the in
mates. The shirt making will also
apparently produce much larger re-
turns than the present work"
The marble shop was established
Al years ago. soon after the establish
ment of the institution.
About 100 men are available for this
industrial portion of the institutions
activities.
The first detention farm has been
established in Vermont, utilizing the
State Prison farm, two miles west of
windsor. which has been conducted
by the State Prison. This farm was
established by Judge Weeks, under
the recent law, in order to provide
place where Jail prisoners may be
sent and made useful in tilling the
land. The final arrangements for
the farms use for this purpose were
