NEW REGULATIONS FIX STATUS
OF ALL MEN WHO HAVE
REGISTERED.
DIVIDED INTO FIVE CLASSES
Men Without Dependents viii 81
Called First Unless Vital to War
lndustry-Date for Next In
crement to Be Jan. 1.

Washington, Oct. 23.-New draft
regulations, pOstpOning the physical
examination of the remaining 100000
draft registrants until they are called
for military service, and assigning the
men TO five classes, thus determining
the order of their call to the colors
We're announced on Saturday by Pro-
voSt Marshal General Crowder
1t was Indicated that January VIII
be the date of the next call.
Under the new regulations ii will be
possible for regisuant to determine
whether he will be called in the first
100000 additional men to be sum
mOned, the second $4,000. or later
cOntingents.
The changed system will reduce the
labors of local boards by so per cent
by reversing the present process of
first conducting physical examinations
and then hearing exemption claims.
Hereafter all economic questions will
be settled before the physical examina-
ton Is held.
Here is the new system In a nut
shell:
Five classes of draft registrants are
established approximately as follows :;
Ffrst-Men with absolutely no de-
pendents.
Second-Skired farm laborers or
Others slightly less available for mill
tary service than the first class.
Third-Skilled laborers and men
whose work is deemed vital to war in
dustries.
FOurth-Married men with children
whose families are wholly dependent
upon them for support.
Fifth-CrippleS. mental detectives,
and those specifically exempted from
military service. NJ
Registrants Will be assigned to one
of these classes.
Under the new system local boards
will send out to each enlisted man on
its list q QUESTIONABLE or catalogue of
queries to be known as NO. 1,000,"
going into minute detail as to the fam
lily life, responsibility and adaptability
of the individual. These questions
have not as yet been made public. The
individual fills in the blanks with an
swers and returns the QUESTIONABLE TO
the Local board.
After that the local board decides in
what class to put the selected man,
notifying him of lis verdict. The man,
if not satisfied with the decision of
the board, may appeal to the district
board which will then review the mat
ter. The district boards verdict in
event of appeal win be final

Lower Now Than Years Ago
Blames Retailers.

istrator Hoover announced on Thurs.
day that the corner has been turned

He has gone as far as he can In
price reduction, he says, and assails
the retailers for not doing their part
The next congress will probably be
asked to give him power to force the
retailers to abstain from profiteerlng.
Mr. Hoover says:
Most of the essential commodities
should, one after another, continue to
show reductions between now and the
end of the year. The food admins
traitor has no control of either the
grower or his organizations, nor of the
great majority or retailers.
"The distribution chain lying be.
tween the warehouse, wholesalers,
commission men and manufacturers Of
prime commodities has required
great deal of study and development
for its proper regulation, and these
regulations are coming into force
now"
Mr.. Hoover said he had every hope
the retailers will cooperate, as the
farmers and other food handlers are
cooperating to feed the nation and
the allies Mt reasonable prices. Every
body along the line down to the re-
taller. he declared, already Is helping.
But retail prices do not by any means
reflect the wholesale prices.

CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR
WAUWATOSA BOYS.

At meeting of the Woman's Adj
visory Committee of the Wauwatosa
City Council of Defense, Friday, De-
cember 7th, the following Christmas
work was decided upon:
Through the efforts of our fellow
townsman, Mr.. Harry S. Fuller, sum
of about 100000 has been raised for
the company fund of Co. E.-340th
Infantry at Camp Custer, in which
Company 81 Wauwatosa boys are en-
rolled
Various interested citizens are de-
sirous of remembering our home boys
at this season. A few small sums
having been handed to the Chairman,
it was voted by the committee to in
struct the chairman to take charge of
such sums as are offered and disburse
them at her discretion. Also to make
public announcement of the fact that
such sum is being raised so that any
persons DESTROYS or remembering the
boys representing us at the front may
have an opportunity of adding their
gifts to those of other citizens.
Any moneys so gathered will be
sent to swell the company funds which
are used to buy delicacies for the boys,
provide victrolas or records or rent a
piano or defray necessary expenses in
enabling visits home or to camp where
last good-byes would otherwise have
been impossible.
1t is regrettable that the boys are
not all in one company, so that they
may share equally in company funds
raised, but since they are so scattered,
Christmas cheer must be dispensed to
those who are isolated from family
and friends. Indeed many Wauwato-
sa women are busily engaged in MAX
ing Joke books for every Wauwatosa
boy in service, so that they may know
that Wauwatosa appreciates and r. :
members her soldier boys.
But inasmuch as between 35 and 40
of our boys are at Waco, it is believed
that many Wauwatosa people would
like to help bring Christmas cheer to
these boys. Jelly, jam, butter and
victrola records are among the things
acceptable, as well as money for the
Company fund. Assistance in making
joke-books is also desired. Gifts for
Waco should be sent by December Is.
Anyone who desires to contribute
may communicate with chairman, Mrs.
Leverett C. Wheeler.

VERY HARD TO PRONONCIATE'
English Language Bothered Edward
Livingston Trunsau, "The Pioneer
OF OPERA" Although American.

In st. Nicholas Mary r. Parkman
tells an incident in the childhood OF
Edward Livingston Trudeau, 1.-THE
Pioneer of the Opera"
'"The small boy who could scarcely
remember the time when he did not
i've in France and whose relatives
were all French did not forget for
moment that he was an American.
The toy boats which he sailed in the
fountains of the Tuilleries all bore the
Stars and Stripes. All his favorite
playmates at the Lycee BOnaparte'
where he went to school. were hardy
American boys whose parents were
living In Paris.
During the years of the French
school the vague. inner yearning for a
freer, more natural life found vent IN
many pranks, and covert rebellion not
only against the class routine, bul
also, more openly, against the estap-
lished order of things on the play
ground.
"When he returned TO New York al
eighteen Edward could speak only
broken English, but he felt so trnlE
American that he wondered why Ms
cousins laughed when he said, We Eng
