CLASSIFICATION FOR

President Wilson has put e ma
chinery in operation for the second call
of the first draft. The whole process of
classifying the men will take about
sixty days, according to the war de-
partment. This means that no second
call will be made on the draft forces
before the middle OF next Febru-
airy, as the period for classification will
not begin until December 10. A more
perfect organization of our mar pow
er" is wanted, and when the question
blank which will be received by each
registrant, and which he will be requlr
ed to fill out will furnish the necessary
information for the government. 1T
will determine the place of each mar
in the military, industrial or a%gricultur-
al ranks of the nation in which his train
ing and experience can best be made
to serve the common good. President
Wilson has urged the people to assist
local and district boards in furnishing
such information as may be of value TO
the board in regard TO the qualifications
of re%gistrants.

Scheme to Capture German.

And this was received by the COM
mander of the Department of the
East, a New York correspondent of
the Pittsburgh Dispatch writes: 81 am
enthusiastic over a scheme that has
entered my fertile brain to easily cap
ture thousands of German soldiers
without firing a round of ammuni-
ton. If the war department does not
see fit to use this wonderful SUCCESS
ton, then the responsibility for the
continuance Of the war must rest on
the shoulders of those who have re-
jected it. The scheme is y simple one
and is easily put into execution. I'm
der cover of darkness have the sol
diers strew the ground between op-
posing trenches with fly paper. When
the Germans come over the top to at
tack they will, of course, get stuck
and will be easily captured. Can any,
thing more practical or simple be
imagined?"
