Plans for arresting and punishing the eligible men who failed to register are being actively pushed by United States Marshal H. A. Skeggs. Lists of all who registered have been compiled and put in prominent places in the courthouse, city hall and postoffice. Everyone is urged to carefully examine these lists and report to Marshal Skeggs any cases of men be- tween the ages of 21 and 31 who failed to register. All information that is giv- en will be kept strictly confidential The government officials state that if every one will look over these lists and report the slackers he finds on his own block the work will be quickly finished and all the slackers run to earth.

UNITED STATES MARSHAL
 TO ARREST ALL SLACKERS

From the latest dispatches from Wash iagton the government seems to be in clined to be lenlent with those who failed to register if they will now come for ward voluntarily, give their reasons for not registering.
 Marshal Skeggs points out the fact that the lists are within the reach of everyone and it is the duty of every loyal citizens to at once report any case of evasion he knows of to the proper authorities. The government has placed the entire matter In the hands of the people, with the trust that they will not be guided by any principles of false sympathy or fear of embarra ssment put will quickly and effectively bring to jus uce all those who have evaded the reg istration laws, either through ignorance, carelessness or cowardice.

 SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED

City commissioners have become inter- ested in the Bertillon system of Detec- tives Brown and Cartright and have appropriated money with which to pur- chase an electric finger camera. This camera will expedite the taking of finger prints from wood, iron, glass, paper cloth and other things.
 Information at the office of the detec- tives yesterday was that the camera is expected to arrive at any time now, and immediately Detectives Brown and Cart right will give it a test.
 On January 5, this year, the two detec- tives went to the commissioners with the idea of installing the finger print system in an office on the fourth floor of the city building. At that time Bir- mingham needed money more than any thing else, and there was no appropria- ton made for the purchase of the proper working material. The detectives or dered what they needed and set it up on the fourth floor.
 Since January 3, Detective Brown said 407 finger prints have been taken, and several escaped convicts have been cap tured

has there been reported single attempt to injure or destroy an unguarded or guarded utility. The statement from Major General Leonard Woods head quarters yesterday was that it was con- sidered absolutely necessary to withdraw the National Guard from this duty in order to form a nucleus in camp for the organization, recruiting and training of the large bodies of men shortly to be sent to the front in France.
 The troops have been scattered and, according to the view taken by the mili- tary authorities here, they have received all the benefits they will receive from such guard duty. The fighting they will have to do in France will require training along cohesive lines and this cannot be secured in any but formation of large bodies of men

NEW YORK'S ACTION

Tn the state of New York, anticipating the absence of it's National Guard. the legislature at the request of the gover- nor passed law creating a state con- stabulary, to be used during the war, largely to perform such duties as the gov ernor may have called upon the National Guard to perform in time of peace.
 Tn the state of Pennsylvania con- stabulary, organized upon the lines of the northwest mounted police (Canada), have existed fer sometime
 Tn other states home guards are being organized to replace National Guard.
 .sWhatever form of organization is adopted state constabuary or home guard, the members thereof will have the authority of the state behind them for the proper performance of their du- ties and to enforce state and federal laws.
 T regret the necessity of these changes, but l am sure you will appreciate the dc mirant needs of the situation. The situation has been singularly free from any attempts at carelessness or to de- stroy public or private utilities and there is every indication that this will continue Very respectfully.

 THE BEGINNING HERE
Holland Comments Speech Made in Birmingham by George w Perkins and What It Probably Means-Pittsburg and Birmingham Are to Be the Nations
 Great Steel Centers
By HOLLAND

New York, June 22.-(Special1-In his recent visit to Birmingham, George w.. Perkins gave to the city the title of the Kingdom of Birmingham"
 He was one of a party of the finance committee of the United States Steel cor poration that visited Birmingham so that they might, face to face with the oppor- tunities there offered, come to some de- cision respecting an investment which the corporation decided to make for the purpose of improving and expanding the Birmingham plant.
 Already since the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company became one of the subsidiaries of the United States Steel corporation, that corporation has ex- pended about $32, 000 in improving the plant great deal of work was neces- sary. It was f.und imperative that fur naces and also steel plants be rebuilt, and, furthermore that there be such harmonizing or coordination of the op- eration of this plant as would make it possible to reduce the cost of production.
 Very likely much more would have been expended were it not for the fact
  ington is seeking to obtain decision by the supreme court for the dissolution of the United States Steel corporation. If such decision be handed down then the Tennessee Coal and Iron company will probably be disjointed or separated from the Steel corporation. While this remained in doubt it did not seem ex- pedient to put any more funds into the Birmingham plant than were needed for it's immediate operation and for impera tive improV ellentS.
 Now that tie supreme court at Wash ington will probably not hand down a decision in the case of the United States Steel corporation before the end of the war, the corporation deems it eXpedient to make new and large investments for the purpose of bringing ultimately this great plant up to it's full capacity for production. The markets for it's products are looked for in the south, the south west and ultimately in South America. By reason of the distance from its sister kingdom, that of Pittsburg, there can be no unreasonable trade agreements between the plants, each having by req son of it's location it's own natural and reasonable territory in which to market it's products.
 Judge Gary and MT. Perkins of the finance committee, having looked over eHe DlfAliilSHdiil pldHt d lew udyS dSo' decided that it was the better part to expend as soon as possible at least S11 GOO in further improvement of the plant. Undoubtedly this Sl1000,000 is not the end, but is merely the beginning, as it certainly will be the beginning of very large investment of funds in the Bir- mingham plant in case the supreme court sustains the decision of the lower court that the United States Steel corporation is not organized or operated in violation of the federal statute.

The decision to place s11 0O0, 900 in inn provements in the Birmingham plant adds another to the very great items of expenditure which has characterized the Steel corporations management during the past year. And in this consideration the dividends paid upon the common stock are not included The corporation has subscribed S5,0o0000 to the liberty loan. It has declared an extra dividend which will yield S5,000000 for the Red Cross fund. It has made a large contri- button to another fund, and it is about near Newark, one of the largest and to begin constructive work which when completed will establish upon Tidewater

The Illinois legislature has "a
bandoned its plans for extensive
building operations in the state
departments and institutions,
and with the ear Of faith we al
ready hear applause the country
over. Bravo! Let cities, COM

government follow suit,
To which impending outbursts
we reply. "Be orthodox, breth-
rem, but don't be more orthodox
than his holiness the pope. y
Paris has not suspended public
building operations because of
the war Neither has Berlin.
To curtail such operations, il by
curtailment you mean putting a
check on wild and wanton ex-
travagance, is doubtless advis-
able. Self-confessed pork barrel
expenditures must halt, and
there are other pork barrels be
sides the celebrated casks of in

States and cities have each their

needed improvements that have
an incontestable value. Just be.
cause we are no longer in posi-
tion to throw money about, il
does not follow that we must
scrimp or perish. Neither does
it follow that scrimping will pre-.
vent our perishing. 1t may ever
help US to.
As we look at it, a quietu'
clapped on legitimate public
