HEADLIGHTS CALL
 FORTH STATEMENT
 FROM THE COURT

Before noon yesterday H. F. Watson. newly appointed county motorcycle of ficer had made nine arrests, the ma jority being for alleged violation of the headlight law
 Practically every arrest was made in the city and the cases filed in Justice Wheeler's court. Thereby hangs a tale
 Watson is doing city and county work declared Wheeler yesterday. This throws the burden of the work on my court. l am supposed to take cognizance of county affairs, but if this continues the justice court will be crowded with such cases. 1 believe the .headlighplaw to be one of the import ant features of the motor vehicle law but l also believe that the city should look to its enforcement as well as the county
 The county cases should be prose- cuted in the justice courts and the city cases in the city court. If there is no provision for the city to prosecute it's offenders such provision should be made at once. It is outrageous the way the headlight law has been ig- nored," said Wheeler. We have had complaint after complaint relative to this from users of the road. When an automobile has but one light it is of ten mistaken for a motorcycle. There is no way of gauging the distance and accidents have occurred by the scores. am of the opinion that there have been more wrecked cars and more in turies caused from negligence of car rying out the headlight law than from speeding"

MI INDUSTRIES II BE KEMP TED
 AT FIRST DRAF I
Local Boards Are to Judge
 Such Cases When They
 Appear, Says Order from Provost Marshal Crowder

No particular industries in the coun- try are to be named at the present time as absolutely necessary for the sue cessful conduct of the war, according to information from Washington yes terday to Governor Campbell and Colo nel Breen. The first draft is not ex
 pected to affect the supply of labor to an extent that it will be necessary to exempt particular industries.
 However, the statement adds, in case it appears necessary to make special rulings in regard to industries, they will each be considered on their in dividual merits and will be judged by the local boards and not from Wash ington. The people on the ground, the telegram says, are to be expected to know more concerning the actual labor situation than any officials in Wash
 ington. The statement from Provost
 Marshal General Crawder is as fol- lows:
 In response to inquiries from many district boards the secretary of war di- rects that the following information be furnished district boards. First. The president will not at this time make any determination of what industries are to be considered necessary to the maintenance of the military establish
 ment, the effective operation of the military forces or the maintenance of the national interest during the emer- gency for the purpose of preferring
 those industries as outlined in Section A, Regulations. Except for the neces- sity Of seeing to the retention of ad-
 ministrative or mechanical specialists, it is not thought that the present draft will so materially affect the gross labor supply of any industry considered na- tionaly as to warrant any general ad-
 justment of labor supply in favor of some industries and at the expense of others. For this reason it is not deemed best to make a statement of preferred industries at this time. Such adjust nent as may be necessary locally will be made by the district boards after consideration of the industrial situa- tion in their localities. Second. The issue of fact as to whether any indus try is engaged in work necessary to
 the successful operation of the military establishment is capable of being de- termined locally by affidavit proof or 1 inspection by the district board and in quiries by district boards as to whether particular industries are so engaged ought not to be answered by executive departments in Washington. Third In short, the cases in district boards present local industrial problems which
 can and ought to be solved by those boards on information available to them in their locality.

KA|SER'S REPLY
 TO MIR. GERARD
He Will Deny Statement of
 Late Ambassaror Regard
 ing Latter's Report Con- corning Invasion Belgium
(Special)

(SPecIaU
 THE HAGUE, Aug. 14.-It was re- ported on good authority today that the German government already has begun the preparation of an official statement regarding the message which the kaiser sent to President Wilson in an attempt to justify the invasion of Belgium.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Although the Kaiser has clamped the lid down on the publication throughout Ger many of former Ambassador Gerard's ially in America and many foreign been smoked out" and is expected to answer some of the charges that have been barred to the world.
 Reports received here today from Amsterdam declare the leading Ger man newspapers have published a semi official statement foreshadowing an official reply by the German gov ernment to the Gerard revelations.
 Chief Disputed Point
 The chief point disputed in official Berlin quarters is the purport of the cablegram sent by the Kaiser to President Wilson on August 10, 1914, in which Germany sought to justify its invasion of Belgium.
 The full text of this telegram was printed last Sunday in the Gerard memoirs. President Wilson gave MT Gerard permission to use the telegram in his boook and the advance install ments of it, but publication of an official document under a copyright caused some criticism in Washing ton. This criticism was answered yesterday when the state department made public officially for the press the text of the kaiser's message
 Will Deny Telegram
 Germany, it is understood, will off cially deny such a telegram was sent although it will admit the kaisel granted Ambassador Gerard an audi cree on the date mentioned. The ar gument backed up the German de nial is expected to be that what the kaiser wrote down on telegrapl blanks were only notes destined for but not directly addressed to Presi dent Wilson.
 Papers in all the allied and neu- tral countries are printing copiou! extracts from the Gerard memoirs but the German censorship is being rigidly enforced and not one word oi the exposure is being published fol Teuton newspaper readers.
 The Gerard series are now appear ing every day in the Los Angeles Examiner.
