They have failed to stop and con-
slider the amount of detail that ac-
companies the working of the draft
system and incidentally have over
looked the fact that the>local boards
have no malicious intent in publish

to do the work justly and impair
TALLY, as laid down to them by the
United States government.
Section 16 of the Rules and Regu-
lations prescribed by the President
of the United States for local and
district board under the authority
vested in him by the terms of the
act of Congress, approved May 8,
1917, states that any person who,
when called to appear before local
board for examination, and fails to
appear at the stated time, a ten
days wait is allowable, after which
time If the person fails to put in
appearance he can be certified to the
district board as physically fit and
thereby automatically becomes a
member of the United States Army
and is classed as a deserter. The
regulations also provide that If any
of the kinfolks of the person notified
to appear, furnished proof that said
person has enlisted, is sick, or rea-
sonably unable to be present during
the required time, that persons
name is placed on file and if he has
enlisted his name is sent to the dis
trict board as such.
The young men who have been un-
Justly termed Stacker" failed to
suit were placed on the list. That
they have done their duty for their
country, no one denies. Even if a
member of the board knows that the
young man who failed to appear has
enlisted he cannot certify him as
such until he has documentary proof
| from the commanding officer in
| charge of the young man. The Pax
tang board has been very liberal in
their treatment of the young men
that failed to show up on scheduled
| time. They have refrained from
placing the names in the hands of
and have patiently waited for the
young men to either show up OF
send word regarding their absence.

any word. The allotted ten days

names have been published infor-
nation regarding the yotlng men
has poured into the board and a new
list is published to-day, as revised
by the Paxtang board. This new list
gives the names of the young men
who have enlisted and those who are
real "slackers." That many young
men of Dauphin county had their
names slurred is unfortunate. The

MORE WOMEN.
CONTRIBUTE TO
FUND THAN MEN
Novel Explanation Is That
Wives Don't Want Men to
Break Former Habits

In looking over the list OF con-
tributors to the Smokes Tor Sol
diers,' a startling discovery is made,
The Telegraph has received contr;-
buttons for the fund from more
women than men, Why is this?
There has been only one answer to
the question. that seems to fit the
bill, and that is that the women
have suffered so much from the
crouch of the man who lacks n
smoke that they would deny them
selves in order that the women of
France will not lind the American
man an American crouch,
But then, why should the Amer
lean man sit back with his feet up
on the table inhaling the fumes of
his smoke without thinking what
comfort a similar smoke would do
for his friends across the sea?
Let Him Dream
A mere man suggests that the
reason for the women sending the
more for the smokes Is because Of
the little imp of perverseness that
lives within them. If the men do
not smoke in France what would
the women have to worry about and
over when the boys come marching
home? Who would throw ashes
all over the floor? Who would burn
holes in the table covers and car
pets? Why our soldiers, of course!
When they come home they can do
anything they want to, They will
be the sons for whom the fatted
calves will be killed. But why not
send a little part of the fatted calf
over to them while they are away
from home? Twenty-Five cents will
furnish "home comfort" to a SOL
dier for week. 1t is said that
America has no tilted nobility, but
that is a mistake, My Lady Nicotine
holds a strong place in the af-
fections of the American soldier.
Send him the smokes, let him sit
back in his wet, muddy trench and
dream of the girl he left behind
him and see her in a wreath of good
old American tobacco smoke. Get a
thank-you letter from a boy at the
front. you can If YOU send the Tele-
graph the money to buy smokes for
him. He is guaranteed to- thank

The principal handicap at the Dick

will be overcome in Bismarck. where
the Elliott company will have the adj
vantage of lines radiating in seven
different directions, the Northern Pa

advantage Of being the only base for
