War Souvenirs; Date Not Definitely

Congressman Edward T. Taylor
will speak in Gunnison some day the
first of next week on the great war.
Mr.. Taylor comes direct from the
front in France where he has seen
all the horrors of the conflict, visited
the boys in the trenches, been shot at
by the Huns, interviewed the generals
and privates, escaped the submarine
perils by hair, and probably knows

any man in Colorado or the West.

CANNOT INDUCE LjTHUANIANS TO SIGN DOCUMENTS First District Board Hamp- cred By Suspicious
 Resistance. ELIGIBLES BAKING WORK OF EXEMPTION Wealthy Man Who Claimed Exemption Certified For
 Service.

Concerted effort in Bridgeport to resist the draft has come to the att tention of the local exemption boards who will handle the matter SD. edily and bring 1t to the attention of the local department of justice represents tives.
 Lithuanians of this city are refus- ing, en masse, to sign any papers Of any kind and in the cases of those without first papers this is causing the local boards much trouble. The men cannot be certified as dischargcd until they have signed an affidavit to the effect that they are aliens and their refusal to meet this require ment of the draft law is placing, many of them in the liability column with accepted Americans and those having first papers. The fact that the Lithuanian nas tiona1s are refusing almost with out exception, leads to the belief locally, that some one has advised them to take the stand against the draft.
 The first local exemption board now in charge of Judge Frederic A. Bart lett, has encountered the greatest diff hculty to date because of the actions of the Lithuanians This is due to the fact that the board includes the first three voting districts and these embrace the sections having the larg- est percentage of foreign population The refusal of the men to sign was first considered as due to a lack of confidence in the statements made to them or a. failure to properly under stand the regulations. It was excus- able until 1t appeared that every Lith- uanian summoned by the board was taking the same stand. Judge Bart lett today ordered out of the office such men after using persuasive meas ures without avail to --- their cases closed. The men will be certified for service and the matter may also be called to the attention of the depart ment of justice. The men will find

FOR CORRECT DRAFT INFORMATION, CALL
 UPON THE FARMER

The Farmer today gave Fire Board Clerk John J. Hines fnfor- .mation which he has been seeking since July 20 ard. 1t took less than 20 seconds to answer MT. Hines question.
 His read ink serial number given by the First local dfvisioE board is 3874. MT. Hines was un- able to determine in what order that number was drawn at Wash ,ington or in what order he stood on the First division list.
 By means of special table com- piled by The Farmer for it's own use in determining any mans po- *sition in the draft lottery, MT. Hines was quickly informed that 3S74 was the 9,361st number drawn at Washington and applied to the First division which has 5774 registrants is the 5,107th or der number.
 This places MT. Hines in the last draft quota for this division. from | the present registration list.
