names are automatically posted as
having been called and not exempted
or discharged. Automatically, also,
they are indu4ed into militray SER
vice and made subject to military
law Failure to appear merely has
tens this automatic process.
When the time allowed for max
ing these claims has elapsed, these
persons will be enrolled as in the
military service. They will then be
ordered to appear as soldiers. From
this point on they will be under the
swift and summary procedure of
courts-martial. Failure to report for
military duty when ordered to do so
constitutes desertion. Desertion in

PREPARE FOR FALL GARDEN.
ING.

l. Fall gardens are as important
and essential as spring gardens; do
your bit by planting one.
2. Keep the garden busy; as soon
as one vegetable is harvested plant
another.
8. Do not bury lot of coarse
weeds and grass in preparing for
fall planting.
4. If the soil is not rich and
loamy use some well-rotted stable
manure.
s. As rule, seed should be plant
ed thicker and deeped in the fall
than in the spring:
s. To grow plants of cabbages,
cauiiflower, Brussels sprouts, col
lards, and lettuce, sow seeds in drills
in shallow boxes filled with garden
soil.
z. If it becomes necessary to ir-
rigate wet the soil thoroughly and
cultivate the same as after a good
rain.
8. Sow radish, turnip, mustard,
and spinach seed. in drills and not
broadcast.
9. To set out plants make holes
with a pointed stock or garden
trowel large enough to receive the
roots. Press the dirt firmly to the
roots and fill the depression with
water if the soil il dry. Draw dry
dirt over the wet spot to prevent
baking. A little shade will be bene-
ficial.

boards are simply futile strokes in
the air. All the records necessary to
hold such persons are already on file
at State headquarters and at the
National Capital, and since local
boards have no occasion to use any
force in simply offering a beneficial
opportunity to registered persons,
there is no fields for resistance. If
resistance is attempted later, when
the Army seeks to apprehend deser-
ters, it will instantly encounter
troops of the Federal Government.

The Provost Marshal General has
issued the following statement:
Press reports and other advices
received indicate that in one or two
widely separated districts individ-
uals, misinformed as to the purpose
Of the law and misguided as to its
result, are threatening forcible re-
sistance to the draft.
There is nothing to resist at this
stage in the execution Of the law.
All male persons between the ages
of 21 and 80, inclusive have been
enrolled for military service. A pre-
liminary call has gone forth to some
such persons, but the immediate and
actual objects of this call is merely
to provide opportunity for such per-
sons, or for some one else in respect
of them, to present to the Govern
ment reasons why they should not be
finally ordered to report for military
duty. If such persons do not appear
and present these reasons, they have
simply neglected to take advantage

RAID IN PACIFIC,
GERMANS ASSERT

COPENHAGEN. Aug. 16.-The Ger
man commercial submarine Deutsch-
land, which visited the United States
before that country entered the war,
has been converted into a war sub
marine, according to German fleet
gossip. The Deutschland. which Wis
tied Baltimore on its first trip to
America, has a great radius OF action
and has been ntted with six torpedo
tubes.
The submarine, II Is said, may soon
leave for the Pacific to operate
against traffic from San Francisco.
The U-boat was to have started activl-
ties some time ago, but an explosion
on board while the vessel was on a
trial trip made necessary repairs
which took considerable time.
The German losses in submarines
have been twenty TO twenty-five
boats, this figure apparently cover
ing the losses since the start OF the
unrestricted submarine warfare cam
paiEn. Four additional boats are said
to have been lost in the Aediter-
ranean.
Travellers from England have re
ported seeing the Deutschland tied
up at a British dock. 1t Is claimed
that the undersea merchantmen was
