u. S. TO SEND ENJOYS
AMERICA WILL TAKE PART IN
COMING COUNCIL OF WAR.
Meeting to Be Held TO Plan Spring
Drive CT the Allies and Dis
cuss U-5oat Warfare.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE admins
tration has under consideration the
assignment Of American representa-
tiyes TO the political ard military con-
ference about to be held by the en-
tente allies in Paris. 1t is probable
that General Pershing, Vice Admiral
Simms, and Ambassador William CT.
Sharp will represent the United
States.
At this conference the United States
and the allies will take stock of the
military and political situation and
map out program of policies govern
ing the preparations for the great

American troops will receive their bap-
tism of fire.
Russian delegates will be in attend
ance to discuss the measures that must
be adopted if Russia is to be re-created
as an effective military factor in the
operations next year. The aid that
can be furnished to Russia by the Uni

the winter of military inactivity on the
eastern front will constitute the eX-
ternal and the attitude of the Ker-
enslzy government the internal Rus
sian question.
Tactics of the spring anti-subma-
rine campaign are also scheduled for
discussion by the naval officers in the
allied conference. Despite the recent
slump in submarine dpStructiVeneSS
none Of the allied governments is so
optimistic as to believe that the sub

are across the water, in Europe, where
they are too far away to harm you or
yours. They are here, right here in
your country. Your neighbor's fire
smoked before it blazed; the boy next
door had scarlet fever for days before
it ''broke out" on him; the unsprayed
apple-trees and the uncovered garbage
pail were getting in their deadly work
for days before you knew anything
about them. The danger that this war
is spreading turnout every corner of
the world is not over there, but here.
HERE and NOW. Much of the danger
you know; much you do not know.
There are enemies, germ carriers,
where you think it is impossible for
them to be. You may rub your elbows
with them on your way to work. You
may sit next them in street cars. They
may be your customers, your trades
people, your very neighbors; but they
are spreading by ways that are open
and that kill quickly and by ways that
are secret and that stab in the dark
the most dreadful disease that has ever
been on this earth-WAR.s You know
what war does; there is not a man,
nor a woman, nor a child in all this
broad land who will not be hurt by this
war if it is permitted to repeat itself.
War has got to be ended, ended soon,
and ended forever; and there is only
one way to do it. One way, that is,
for you and for me, who cannot place
our bodies where they will stand be-
tween our loved ones and the shot and
steel of war. You and | have got to
do our part by providing the means
with which war can be stopped and
shall be stopped. You and I, who can
not fight, have got to provide money,
just money, so that others can do our
fighting for US. And the fighting of
this war is the one big final houseclean
ing of the world; even the germ-car-
riers have got to be routed and cleaned
up. $3.50.
housekeeping costs money. So
| does sickness. But cleanliness and
health are worth paying for. They are
good investments. You do not hest
tate to pay for your fire insurance, to
call in the doctor, to keep your home
premises clean and to do what you
can to see that the people around you
do the same. It's worth it. ...
Right now, you have got to insure
your country and yourself and your
children's children against disaster
worse than any fire. Buy a Liberty
Bond and let our soldiers be your
properly equipped fremen.
Right now you have got to force
your neighbor-and remember that he
doesn't live only in the Germany which
produced his poison-to clean his
premises of something that is
more dangerous than scale or dry
rot or borers or moths or anything else
that the world has ever had to deal
with. Buy Liberty Bond and help
rid the world forever of this CHASTITY
pestilence of war.
Right now is the time to make safe
your home and all that you wish Home
to stand for; the life and health of
you and your children; the security of
your incomes; the upholding of the j.
| deals without which you wouldn't care
to live. There is only one way in
which you and | can do it, but that way
is going to bring Us in mighty good
interest. It's the best investment
you'll ever make, or anybody else.
Buy Liberty Bond-RIGHT NOW!

ture now holding the screen at the
Bijou theater. Almost everyone who
reads the popular magazines is well
acquainted with the story, which
proved one of the biggest attractions
of it's time. There has been abso-
lutely nothing lost in the filming OF
the gripping story. - - - g
In the role of a diplomat, with the,
instincts of vampire, Miss Williams
has an exceptionally good role. She
does not make friends with her au-
dience on the strength of the char
acter she portrays but through her ex-
cellent portrayal AS .'The Ne'er Do
Well" Oakman is a nkeable young
chap, ever ready for mix.up and al
ways winning the admiration of his
audience and those with whom he
comes in contact in the story. Incl

and proves himself considerable of
a man. -. ~--...E..s.e q.

NATIONSDRAFT
VERY THOROUGH
Time for Tonight's Meeting of
Exemption Board Fixed in
Washington, D. c.

How thorough is the organization OF
the selective draft work built up by
Brig. Gen. E. H. .Crowder, provost mar
shaIageneral, is illustrated in the an
nouncement printed yesterday in these
columns that Marshal ]. J. Smiddy had
notified the members of the district
exemption board that there would be
meeting tonight at o'clock.
= Persons reading the article we're
struck with the fact that the hour OF
the meeting was set from Washing
ton. This was in accordance with the
law in the matter: -
At an informal meeting few nights
ago the board of exemptions decided
upon tonight as the next date OF meet
iEg. This fact was given to Governor
Pinkham, who cabled it to Gen. Crow
der. The officer then cabled instrue-
tions to Marshal Smiddy.
The value of this seemingly round
about method would be greater in the
/ ainland, where boards are separated
than here, where federal and terrific
rial offices are so close together. The
law reads: .s.
Upon request of the provost mar.
shall general the United States mar
shall of any federal judicial district in
the state, territory and district where
in the district board is located shall
notify the persons appointed by the
president, members of such district
boards to assemble at the time and
place designated"
