Prohibition J. Sidney Peters yesterday
said:
TT Is with pleasure that ! heard the

pahies OF the state I'm refusing to de-
liver liquors to persons In this state
save when the same is accompanied

ferently; The facility for one pre-
scribing for one self in certain cases
will be 80 curtaiied that tho patients
Will not find II nee essary to order med
ic!ne with such frequency.
Right here let me say that the Of
fcers OF this department have had oc-
CASTOR TO question single physician's
acts since the state went dry. and in
'this case we have been led to believe
thdt our suspicious were not well
founded This is gratifying to US. 1t

What is' Of moment right now" Or.
Peters said In reply to a question, SIS
that we will keep complies records of

These records will be in the express
Office. and We WIN get copies of them
regularly IF there shall come into
Virginia man who desires to aid in

"Questionnaires are to be mailed by
the local board to five per cent of the
registrants each day. The principal

process of classification will begin
about December Il 5. Eight days later
the boards will begin the great pro-
cess OF classification, which becomes,
in the words of the president. a ma
tional war undertaking of such sig
nificance as to challenge the attention
and compel the assistance of every
American
Not since the war began has an
opportunity been offered for practi-
cally every person to take an active
and vigorous part In so important a
war measure as the actual raising of
our armies. The presidents foreword
offers this opportunity. 1t gives a
definite place for the doctor to work
in making the physical examination.
For the first time It assigns every law
yer to active duty in building up the
national army. In the legal advisory
boards it gives every one who re-
sponds to the presidents call a place
in the ranks of the army behind the
army.
The nation already has a remark
able record of efficiency In adjusting
its political machinery to the registra-
lion of 100000 men within eighteen
days after the enactment OF the law
authorizing registration. 1t is now
proposed to better this record by
classifying 100000 men In a period
of sixty days"
No Second Draft Until January
One thing certain as a result of to-
days announcement Is that there will
be no second draft until after the mid
die of January. The sixty-day period
OF reorganization will not have expired
until then.
One class Of men not exempted In
the present draft except in certain
cases il assured of exemption under
the reclassification. They are the ma
tions merchant shipbuiiders. as has
been told heretofore. 1t was practi-
cally decided at a conference this af-
ternoon between representatives OF
the war and navy departments and
shipping board to exempt all men
working on the construction of mer-
chant ships. Workers on naval ves-
sells are already exempt.
1t has been found that in the ma
5ority OF the essential industries the
percentage of men who have no other
claim for exemption than their indus
trial value is small. In the last draf-
some men without other claims were
drafted from shipyards. There were
not mary, but because of the grea,
shortage of labor in this line they
were seriously missed. Today's con-
ference was to guard against a repe-
tition OF this situation In the second

Berlin, Monday, March 19, via Lon don, March 20.-Phillip Scheldeman, Socialist leader in the reichstag, says in Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts:
 "lt does not require many words to explain why almost the whole worl l is arraigned against us The answer is given quickly. The whole world sees among our enemies more or less developed form of democracy, and in us it sees only Prussians.
 eve have always answered by re- ferring to the absolutism of Russia, but now czarism has gone and the emperor's successor is to accept the throne only if the representatives of the people agree. These representa- tives are to be elected on the basis of universal suffrage.
 "Why does the chancellor shrink back now from unconditional neces sity? Always the hesitator, the pro- crastinator Bethmann-HOllweg, wants to begin to cure Prussia after the war. Russia also promised all re- forms after the war, but the war last ed too long for the Russians. Why postpone till tomorrow what is abso- iutely HeccSsdIy toudy, WHdt cVeH tHe king himself declared years ago was one of the most urgent matters of the business of the state? Now Is the time for decisive action. The diffi- culties which might arise if the gov ernment adopts the rechistag system of elections for Prussian electors are as a featherweight compared with the difficulties which will come if 't does not do this. The chancellor should not delay one day. The Prus- sian people as well as the other Ger man states will stand as one man at his side if he acts decisively."

 An explanation Of What is a Rot ary club," given recently by Chas. R. Perry, secretary of the International association of Rotary clubs, contain ed the following:
 "A Rotary club is an association of business and professional men for luncheons, dinners and other get-to- gether events, whereby (through ac- quaintance, fellowship and service) each member makes himself a more efficient and successful man, a better citizen, and a happier individual.
 "The motto Of Rotary is: He profits most who serves best
 "The primary purpose of a Rotary club is the development of the spirit of service.
 "The second purpos- of a Rotary club is the mutual education of it's members in knowledge of callings and occupations other than the mans own line of business, thereby making each one better business man.
 "The third purpose of Rotary club is the enlightenment of it's mem bers by their consideration of uues- tions pertaining to public affairs or the welfare of the community and the nation, thereby making each one a better citizen.'
