STATE EMPLOYES
 GOING INTO COURT
 ID SECURE PAY
Mandamus Proceedings Will Be Instituted Against the Treasurer for Salaries
 ThreeMonths Overdue

Montgomery, August 1.-(Special) )-Em- ployes of state departments who have not received their salaries for three months and who are now paying interest on money borrowed at their banks with their warrants as collateral have deter mined to enter mandamus proceedings against w. L. Lancaster, state treasurer, in an effort to force him to honor the warrants and to make salary warrants preferential. Information was obtained at the capitol Wednesday afternoon that $50 has been subscribed to pay an att torney for preliminary steps.
 Mandamus proceedings will be filed Tn the city court at once unless change Is made in the plans. It is proposed to show that the state treasurer has de- clined to honor the warrants issued in payment for July salaries although the state treasury Wednesday contained a total of $71,711.65. Those back of the con- test argue that salary warrants have all ways been considered preferential but that the state treasurer, on the advice of the governor, Is now caring for-other obligations of the commonwealth while employees are forced to borrow money with their warrants as collateral and to pay interest on every penny obtained in this way One employe said he was statement of the coal operators, MT.

In Accordance With Resolution

Observation-Disclosures Wilson by
proclamation declared Sunday, Oct.
20, as a day of prayer for the success
of the American arms in the war. in
accordance with the recent resolution
of Congress. The Presidents procla.
nation is as follows:
Whereas. The Congress of the
United States by a concurrent resolu
ton adopted on the 4th day of the
present month of October, in view OF
the entrance of our nation into the
vast and awful war which now afflicts
the greater part of the world, has re.
quested me to set apart by official
proclamation a day upon which our
people should be called upon to offer
concerted prayer to Almighty God for
His divine aid in the success of our
arms; and,
Whereas, 1t behooves a great free
people, nurtured as we have been in
the eternal principles of justice and of
right; a nation which has sought
from the earliest days of it's existence
to be obedient to the divine teachings
which inspired it in the exercise of
its liberties, to turn always to the
Supreme Master and cast themselves
in faith at His feet praying for His
aid and succo in every hour of trial,
to the end that the great aims to
which our fathers dedicated our power
as a people may not perish among
men, but be always asserted and de-
Tended with fresh ardor and devotion
and, through the divine blessing, set
at last upon enduring foundations for
the benefit of all the free peoples of
the earth;
Now. therefore, I, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States,
gladly responding to the wish ex-
pressed by the Congress, do appoint
Oct. %, being the last Sunday of the
present month. as a day of supplica-
tion and prayer for all the people OF
the nation, honestly exhorting all my
c%ountrymen to observe the appointed
day, according to their several faiths
in solemn prayer, that Gods blessings
may rest upon the high task which is
laid upon us, to the end that the cause
for which we give our lives and treas
ure may triumph and u efforts be
blessed with high achievement"

Women Rule Hospitals Now.

In the days before 1914 were
rare in military hospitals. Today, ex-
cept for the doctors and the patients,
the military hospital is almost a nun

This Is one of the chief revolutions
wrought by modern warfare. The men
who used TO act as orderlies are re-

thing more than this. The women who
took their places do the work infinite

CHANGES IN DRAFTING SYSTEM.
Nine Million Remaining Resistrants
viii Be Divided into Five Glasses.

Washington.-A sweeping change
in the machinery of the selective
draft, based on division of the 9,000,-
900 remaining registrants into five
classes in order of their eligibility for
military service, vas announced by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Details of the plan, which has been
approved by President Wilson. are
not disclosed. 1t is calculated. how
ever, t. do away with virtually all the
complicated machinery of the first
draft. The plan was worked out at
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the
various state authorities.
Its chief features are h a every reg
istered man will know his exact posi-
ton and be able to arrang his affairs
accordingly and that no man deemed
necessary in any important industry
or needed at home to support his FAM
lily will be called to the colors unless
the military situation is desperate.
