Pershing Will Get 1000 I'm
der Crowder's Orders

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-The new
drGft machinery was invoked for the
first time when Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder made public to-day in
structiors 10 all Governors calling FOR
the mobilization OF loco bricklayers,
urgently needed by General PcrshinS
at once.
Local boards arc called upon TO eS-
anime questionnares now being re-
turned and report, as rapidly as pos
siblc, on the number OF bricklayers Of

white bricklayers will be taken. either
by draft or by voluntary induction
into the military service through local
boards. They will be forwarded 20 the
aviation section, Signal Corps, at KEEL
lev Field, San Antonio, TeH. The pur-
nose. FOR which they are to be used IN
France is not disclosed.
The order is the first application OF
the special occupational classification
provisions of tie new draft rcgula-
tions. The bricklayers in any boards
jurisdiction will be assembled in order
OF their draft number relationship 20
each other, but without regard 20 the

Practice Already Choking
Congested Mail Service
Over Seas

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Dec. 24.-The American ex-
peditionary force wishes 10 discourage
the budding practice OF American
women in adopting" individual sol
diers in France for the period OF the
war. The practice already threatens
10 choke the congested mail servle"
and result in delay in the transmits
sion Of important matter.
Moreover, the censorship regula..
tions forbid the men 10 correspond
with strangers, and as this rule is be-
ing enforced rigidly II is desired that
the people at home refrain from put
ting men here in an embarrassing po-
sition, as they feel under obligations
20 answer such communications.
An example OF the interest certain
women at home are taking IN "adop-
tons" is an advertisement which has
reached headquarters. showing the Pic
ture OF a pretty girl and urging
soldiers without godmothers TO write TO
a certain address.

CAMP UPTON, Long Island, Dec. &c.
The claim of this cantonment that It
is the healthiest, best fed and best
dressed in the country must have
reached Fort Slocum recently, for this
afternoon there came into camp 1000
regular army recruits, who said they
had come to board for a few weeks, un-
til the authorities back at the fort
found some other place for them TO go.
SO Mother Upton took the waits in
ard gave them a good dinner and put
them TO bed in the barracks OF the
Depot Brigade. The men had only two
blankets each and no comforters, and a
few had no uniforms. But everything
they needed 10 make them happy was
quickly provided, and every one of the
men thought il would be fine If he
could finish his training here.
IL turned out that these men were
part of the last influx Of enlisted men
who chose the regular army before
they were selected for the draft.
