Deed Of Daring by FLYER.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The dis.
patches tell of the bestowal Of the
highly priced Italian gold medal on
officers for deeds of heroism. Lieut.
Castruccio, the dispatches say, was
on board an airhip disabled by the
enemy's guns and about to fall in
enemy territory. Castruccio climbed
over the gas bag and, creeping along
in the direction of the PROV, with his
weight caused the airship to regain Its
balance. In great personal danger he
remained there over an hour, allowing
the ajrship to land within his lines.

tically every one of the more than
100000 men registered subject to
war duty, IL not at the front then be-
hind the lines, drastic new regulations
for the draft have been approved by
the president and made public by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder.
Affecting more than 100000 homes,
the regulations mobilize the war
strength of the country L. point
where only word is necessary to
take a man from his desk or plow or
work bench and put him in trench
or armored motor car or munitions

Here are some of the radical new
provisions which give teeth to the re
vised rules.
Secretary of War Baker is given
authority to revoke any exemption or
disregard at any time the deferred
classification and order of call OF
any registered man, IL that mans spec
ial trade or qualification make him
necessary for special service. Thus
If the army finds itself facing a sudden
need for $4,000 chauffers, Secretary
Baker is authorized to direct local
boards to set the number of chauffers
no matter where they stand In order
of call.
Voluntary enlistment in tho regu
lar army of men between 21 a1d 81
years of age will be completely
stopped OH December Is.
Discharged Men Recalled.
Men previously discharged fol
will be recalled. They will not be sent
to the front but will be put on gov
ernment work either at army depots
or where they are most needed
Men employed in the building and
fitting of ships for the navy and
Emergency Fleet corporation are MOI
subject to call as long as they re
main in those employments.
Registered men for the first time
are permitted, If they so desire, to en-
list in the navy or marine corps. Per
mission to do so will be granted, how

New Physical Examination.
An entirely new system of physica
examination is ordered whereby {
man is examined not only by the ply

before being finally accepted or dis
charged from military duty.

Gabrielle d'Annunzio, Italy's noted
author, dramatist' and writer, is re-
ported to have failed to return from a
recent flight over the enemy lines in
Northern Italy. D'Annunzio has been
known as one of Italy's greatest
fighting aviators. IL d'Annunzio is
dead, his friends, frenziedly seeking
work from the war office, will regard
his sacrifice as fitting climax to his
career. They pointed out that
d'Annunzio, always the poet, the art
list and lover of the beautiful. has
been fighting to save Venice, the art
jewel of the world. They believe that
d'Annunzio himself, il he could have
chosen a death. would have preferred
thus to perish in defense of that city.

more than five pounds, was warned by
policeman that her dogs must wear muzzles
when out for stroll, seizure being the only

Miss Ethel T., Marquette who has resided
in the Mannheim since coming from Phia-
delphia a year ago has declared further
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Mayor Bacharach to have him exempt dogs
which weigh less than fifteen pounds and
particularly pets which ride or are carried
on the Boardwalk.
Miss Marquette has written to Mayor
Bacharach, calling attention to a decision
by Judge Martin. of Philadelphia, that no
dog can be legally considered vicious and
menace until at least two acts of vicious
ness have been indisputably proven before
proper court of law.
There have been well authenticated
cases" Miss Marquette continued, where
licensed dogs, held in leash and consequent
ly' in the direct physical custody of their
owners, have been forcibly taken from them
because they. were not muZZled. That dogs
maintained by owners in the proper man.
ner should be tortured by wearing muzzles
