cantonments that are to house the
first divisions of men called to the
colors by the draft An indication
OF the speed with which materials
are being moved is contained in
report from the cantonment at Louis
vile, Ky Administration buildings
there were built from lumber cut in
Mississippi pine forest the week
before. The trees were felled on
Saturday. kiln-drid on Sunday, loaded
on freight cars Monday and delivered
at the Louisville site on Wednesday
morning. An army of energetic car
pcutcrs completed the transformation
from forest to government building
just one week from the day the trees
had, been felled"
The greater part of this material
comes from the south, and it will fur
nish an impetus to the lumber indus
try. As fully as large an amount OF
lumber will be needed for shipbuild-
ing it is evident that the sawmillS
OF the country have a bright outlook
ahead OF them.
The south has been hit hard by the
wsr, but it is beginning to recover
from its losses. The war has proven
OF financial gain to the north from the
beginning. The handling of material
for the environments shows a prompt
ness that promises well for the abil
ity of the railroads to meet the heav-
Ter demands that will soon be impos-
ed on them.

As was 10 have been expected
Judge Emory Speer at Mt. Airy yes
terday held that the solective draft
law is constitutional The truth Of
the matter is, the supreme court has
already rules that congress had the
f]ght to pass The draft law. In Tar
bel case Ga Wallace 279), that trib-
unal said: "The execution of these
powers falls within the line of its
duties; and control over the subject
is plenary and exclusive. 1t can de-
tefmine without question from any
state authority how the armies shall
be raised; whether by voluntary en-
listment or forced draft; the age at
which the soldier shall be received
and the period for which he shall he
taken; tho compensation he shall be
allowed and the service to which he
shall be assigned" Watson knew this.

GOOD TRANSPORTATION WORK

y statement issued by Fairfax Har-
rison, chairman OF tie railroad war
beard, says that 1t Will take 60 COS
freight cars to haul all the material
for the sixteen army environments and
10000 more TO transport that to be
used il preparing the sixteen guard
camps. These combined would make
a train one thousand miles long. 1t
would reach further than from Phil
adelDhia to Jacksonville, and when
we remember that this is only one
of the things that the railroads must
do in addition to their normal bust
ness VIC realize the size Of the task
they have before them. One of the
leading railroad men of the country
has been assigned to the quartermas-
ters department at Washington to
assist in the general supervision OF
this distribution and an experienced
railroad man has been assigned at
each cantonment to work in coopera-
ton with the construction quarter
master there. Mr. Harrison says:
What this teamwork is accom-
plishing is already apparent With
in thirty days from the date thai the
government placed its first orders for
cantonmont materials the railroads
had delivered more than $4,000 car
loads of lumber and other building
supplies to the sixteen national army

Kelly may have been familiar with

letter covers six typewriter pages. Is
written in rambling and incoherent
mood and goes into details regarding
several phases Of the murder which
Kelly claims he discovered while in
vestigating the case on his own re-
spons.b!lty. The following taken from
this letter gives some OF his views re-
garding the murder:

ers the FIRST night or two Kelly never
had more than a half dozen TO hear

ton to hold the meetings but two
weeks. but during that time he aysrred
