BRITISH HOLD FAST
TO u. S. SECURITIES

London.-Despite the frequent and
urgent appeals of the treasury, British
holders Of a considerable amount of
American securities have not yet re-
sponded to Nthe invitation to sell or
lend their stocks and bonds to the gov
eminent. Those who have thus failed
to realize the urgency of the treasury
invitation will get a reminder this
month in the shape of a deduction in
the penal income tax of 10 per cent
from their next dividends. this being
in addition to the regular income tax.
which runs in many cases as high as
25 per cent.
1t is known that n very large amount
OF the securities owned by British sub
jects has always been held in New
York, and this amount has been con-
siderably increased since the outbreak
of war. A very substantial part of
these securities have neither been sold
nor lent to the treasury, although the
British government is eager to either
buy or borrow practically the entire
lot,

from bottle she had too much BRAY

cry. indeed. that she wasn't able to
drink the acid she had prepared for
herself
Doctors who examined Mrs. Lee
yesterday, said that If she had taken
any acid at all the great quantity OF
whiskcy in her stomach had kept the
poison from hurting her. They were
inclined to think that the whiskey
made her too sick and tipsy to reach
the acid at all.
At any rate she is recovering, and

Of the copper thus taken BY the gov
eminent there have been installed alu-
minum and zinc. out Of which wires

fashioned with perfect success. In
addition zinc has been found to do just

OF a score Of articles in everyday use.

stitute satisfactorily in a number of
other cases, and are now largely used

Would Intern All Jack
Rabbits to Save Food
During Wars Progress

Topeka, Kan. Sept 6.-Jack rab-
bits and blackbirds should be in
termed during the war. They are
aiding Germany.
Herbert c. Hoover says the war
must be won with food. The
farmers are doing what they can
to increase food production, but
they are handicapped. The jack
rabbits and the blaCkbirds are just
as busy destroying food.
The greatest enemy to growing
crops in Western Kansas is the
jack rabbit" writes NJ. F. Rose,
of Santanta, Haskell County. IN
order to win the war with Ger
many we should also declare war
on the jack rabbit"
"Blackbirds are eating up our
crops as fast as we can produce
them," writes William Striker, of
Grove County. ITO win the war
with Germany we must also de-
clare war on the blackbirds."

OFFICIALS WANT
TO KNOW news
Clipping Service Is Main
tanned in All Govern
ment Departments.

Uncle Sam is one of the best GUS
toners the newspaper clipping bureaus
have. Nearly every branch of the
government service is a subscriber to
one or more clipping bureaus, and. ir
addition, the newly created Offices,
such as the Food Administration, the
Shipping Board, Council of National
Defense and the Provost Marshal
General subscribe to the leading
dailies of the country. from which
| they clip matter pertaining to their
particular departments.
Since the entry of the United States
into the great world war thousands
of columns OF matter has been print
ed in the newspapers. weeklies, agri-
! cultural papers, trade papers, religi-
Gus press. as well as the magazines,
about the activities OF the various
branches of the government service.
From the time when the selective
draft law was first proposed and un-
/ til II was enacted by Congress, there
was voluminous comment on the SUBJ
| ject When the actual drawing took
place thousands of columns of news
paper space were devoted to the mat
ter. and since then the numerous rul-
ings of Provost Marshal General
Crowder have been widely published.
All this matter has been carefully
clipped and classified under different
headings, forming a wonderful his
tory of the selective draft law.
Herbert Hoover's activities with the
food problem have likewise furnished
much copy for the newspapers. and
consequently the clipping burea ds
gained another good customer. Like
wise the Goethals-Denman contro-
versy about wooden ships was fully
aired in the newspapers. with the re-
suit that thousands OF clippings found
their way into the files Of the Ship
ring Board.
Cabinet officers also like to keep in
touch with what the newspapers sa=
about their departmental activities.
and each one maintains a clipping
service.

APPEAL To WILSON
FROM DRAFT BOARD
Seven Denied Exemption on Indus,
trial Grounds Go to Executive.

The Draft Appeals Board at its ses-
sion yesterday acted on twenty-five
cases of persons claiming exemption
from military duty on the ground of
having dependents or for industrial
causes. Seven men whose claims for
exemption on Industrial grounds were
denied by the board took an appeal
to President Wilson.
Owing to the late hour at which I'D
journment was taken by the board
the names OF the appellants were not
given out for publication. 1t was
stated. however, that a large percent
age were those Of men who have mar
ried since April l. when war was de-
clared.
No deadline or hard and fast rule
for dealing with drafted men who
have married since April has been
fixed by the board. However. the
board holds in a general way that
persons who knew of their liability
for military service, married with
their eyes open. and that marriage
is not valid or proper method for
avoiding military duty.
Quite few cases of men who mar
ried on or about June 8, registra-
tion day, are before the board. Some
earlier cases OF marriage are also
being considered.

The World-Renowned Army Mule Almost
Unknown in the Capital Year Ago, Now
Doing Bit Along Pennsylvania Avenue

At the outbreak of the European. war.
the French and English obviously
knew the value of the mule and
agents were sent to the United States
to buy every one of these beasts OF
burden that could be rounded up. Flea
bitten, spawned. or wind broken. they
took them all. In fact It practically
produced a "mule famine" in this
country, causing the government to
issue orders not to allow these pre-
cious animals to be shipped out OF
America.
The mule Is used extensively In the
army. it Is said. because 1t is the hard
est working and least expensive OF
the beasts of burden. 1t eats about
one-half the food consumed by a
horse, and can do twice the work.
The government has realized the value
of this facetious animal and has
drafted" practically every one In the
country into the Federal service.
The mule has answered the call OF
Uncle Sam wonderfully. as is shown
by his willingness to work and II the
poor beast could speak. no doubt he
would say: Il am only doing my
bit for my own United States.

Will leave soon for France. 1t was
somewhat of a last get-to- gether
meeting for the purpose Of bidding
these men farewell and wishing
them Godspeed.
Several speakers made patriotic
talks and expressed the esteem felt
BY the members for the men who
are going away and the hope that
the parting is only for short
while. There was noticeable a
hu=kiness in the voice OF more than
one-of the speakers during the even

Commissioner BrOwnlOw said dur
ing the course of his speech that
the democracy establish by the
American colonies was an expert
ment and that we have proved 1t
to be success.
We are not fighting England's bat
ties, or Frances battles. but we are
fighting our own battle for democ-
racy." he said. Had we waited until
the allies were conquered We would
then have had to fight this ruthless
enemy over here, alone"

1t was learned at the Shipping Board
yesterday that the government teeS
/. has all the power necessary to COM

in number, and Of about $4,000 tons
capacity. This step has not been

to-operate in the movement OF wheat

able TO say anything until he had
ronferred with Minister van Rap

food situation in Holland was not
acute and stated that many priva-
