FIRST 5 PER CENT LEAVES
FOR CAMP TOMORROW
District Exemption Board Has Certl-
fed Lists for ALI Save
Two Counties.
WORK oNE-THIRD COMPLETED
Cox Discusses Exemption Claims.
Says Each One Allowed Merely
Shifts Burden on Some One Else
Further Down List.

Tomorrow morning will find every
thing in readiness for the denarture Of
the first per cent Of the quota as
signed to the Eastern District of Vir-
Einia, for the district draft board has
certified $3.50 men back to the local
boards. and Al present there arc enough
men certified to compose the 5 per cent
quota in every county in this district.
with the exception of Gloucester and
southampton. and enough men in every
county to fill the 80 per cent quota in
this district. except the Counties of
Alexandria. Lancaster and Prince
George. The district board expects to
certify the necessary men for these
counties so that there will be no de-
lay in the departure OF the 80 per cent
on the 18th of this month. and with
that work finished. the district \boa I'd
VIII have completed onc-third Of its
work.
EACH EXEMPTION SHIFTS
BURDEN On DOWN LIST
There has been no change In the pol-
icy OF the board so far as the exc!nn-
tions arc concerned. for the board has
granted no more exemptions on indus
trial grounds. with the exception of the
three granted last week. and very few
exemption claims on agricultural
grounds carried sufficient evidence 10
convince the board of the sbsolut. IN
disDensability of the man 20 TIC occu
patton.
When questioned concerning e4cmp-
tons. Edwin +. Cox. chairman of ;he
board. said that he saw no reason for
exemptinE one man with the result that
tho burden would be shifted upon the
man further down the list unless there
was exceptional evidence in the claim
TO warrant exemption. This assertion
was upheld, for in only rare cases we're
exemption claims allowed
The public TN general will uphold the
board in the fair manner in which the
work was carried on, and feels certain
that the board treated every drafted
man with consideration and without
favor to any one
The local boards have done their
duty. and SO has the district board.
and now all that remains to complete
the hrst draft call is the entrainment
OF the D per cent quota, to be followed
on the 18th OF this month by 30 pcr
cent OF the men for Camp Lee. Pc
tersourE, where the mon will undergo
intensive training preparatory to their
departure for France.

SHOW OF AUTOS
 TO bE NOTABLE
 PHOENIX AFFAIR

Arlzonas automobile dealers are planning to stage an automobile show, under auspices of the Phoenix Gazette, shortly after the close of the present revival meetings in the tabernacle, US ing that building for the exhibition. The Arizona Republican believes this show most desirable feature and will co- operate to its utmost ability in making 1t the conspicuous success it should be.
 It is felt that with the keen interest which the people of the Salt River Val ley have in the automobile and motor ears in general, the exhibition should he very notable and the fact that the display of over 40 cars is already pledged indicates that it will be well worth the careful inspection of inter ested people
 The committee on arrangements Tor the show consists of John R. Huff. of the Studebaker agency; w. E. Gardner, manager of the Rabbit Poison compa- ny: l. L. Cord, of the Mckinney Cord Electric company and William k. Fer guson of the OldsmObile agency. It has been working for some time in the preliminary arrangements and in for opens every dealer entered will know just what he is expected to do.
 Phoenix, which probably has as many cars per capita as any place anywhere, will have an automobile week which will be out of the ordinary and it Would not be surprising if there were as many as 100 different cars in the show in ad- dition to a complete line of accessories

With new and old players to compete for the cup and other prizes that have been offered for the tennis tournament at the Country Club Wednesday, inter est is keen in the coming event
 The singles will be played off start ing at nine thirty o'clock and from the list of entrants, 1t appears that every set will be exciting. The players are well matched and it will not be q walk away for the winner of the tour nament.
 From the practice that has been kept mp at a rapid pace by the members it is difficult to predict the winner. Mrs. NJ. l.. Keane. it is believed, stands a fair chance to win the fame on local court that has already been hers on the coast. Mrs. Winfield Hartranft has also had most of her experience in Cal ifornia tournaments and is considered one of the crack players.
 Mrs. Ernest Lewis is noted for her clever play and Mrs. Webb Griffen's game has Improved marvelously in the past few weeks SO that she, too, is in the list of possible champions Mrs. Cass Redewill. Mrs. Roy Parsons Mrs. Ancil Martin and Mrs. Gordon Tweed have been declared the winners in turn by those who have followed their games during the last fortnight.

DISGUISED 1T Sci.
GERMAN SUD. SEEN
by 4 BRITISH SHIP

New York, April ia German
submarine, disguished as sailing
ship, carrying three masts, was sight
ed by the British steamship South
erndown, on April A, when about 800
miles west of Lisbon and for two
hours the British freighter was chas-
ed, escaping capture or destruction
through her superior speed, accord
ing to officers of the Southerndown
on arrival Of the vessel today at an
American port.
The submarine, the officers said,
was recognized as an enemy craft
when she approached within about
one mile. What appeared to be a
false super-strueture of canvas sur
mounted by the masts was on her
decks and it was while portion of
this canvas was being cleared away
to enable a deck gun to get into ac-
ton that her true identity was dis
closed.
The glistening hull of the rounded
deck was plainly seen through
glasses. Full speed was crowded on
the engines of the freighter and for
more than an hour the race was about
even, then the steamer slowly drew
away. For some reason, unknown to
officers of the ship, the submarine
did not fire on her.
Yesterday, when near the Ameri-
can coast the officers said, the Uni
ted States cruiser came up and on
signal the Southerndown stopped. An
officer and an armed guard came on
board from the American warship and
established the identity of the South
erndown before she was allowed to
proceed.

If it were possible for Gypsy
Smith, Jr., to forget all else inciden-
tai to his months stay in Pensacola,
recollections of his several days
spent in catching fresh water fish
will always remain clear to him. The
evangelist rests on Mondays when
engaged in longtime meetings, as
was the Pensacola engagement. In
stead of lounging about his hotel,
the evangelist, an outdoor enthusiast,
accepted the invitation of friends and
went fishing twice.
The best evidence of days catch
is told by the camera. Here he is
seen with part of a days catch hang
ing about him. Mr.. Smith, of course,
did not catch all of them-but he
caught dozens, and told some of his
Pensacola friends that all his past
records as fisherman were smash
ed by the success made in Florida
waters.
Bream and trout were caught in
abundance, and one Monday Mr..
Smith and party returned to the city
with total of 204 fish. In his right
hand he carries a string which trails
on the ground. In his left he holds
a string of fish which were his pride.
The smile on his face is said to have
started when he landed the huge
trout he holds in the left-hand string.
1t was a novel experience for the
evangelist to catch so many fish OF
course he has "been fishing" at many
places where he served, but it re-
manned for him to come to Pensa-
cola and find out the best fishing,
and to catch the gamest fish.
Not only did the evangelist enjoy
the sport, but Mr.. Cole, his musical
director, was also with him and one
of the several parties entertaining
for Mr.. Smith. 1t was said that Mr..
Cole was so taken up with the sport
that Mondays were looked forward
to with so much longing as a work
ingman's payday, and he, too, went
away confirmed convert to the be-
lief that Pensacola environments af:
forded the best fishing facilities in
the world, so far as his personal ex.
perience went.
All of the above is an old story
to those who have interested them.
| selves in trying for the finny tribe
In Pensacola and nearby waters. The
picture of Mr.. Smith will be nothing
new to some of Pensacola's fresh
water fishermen, for they have xeer
such sights before, but with them,
selves in many instances occupying
the center of the picture.
