is far behind In its work. Even with
the delays IN the great centers of pop
ulation. General Crowder expressed
the opinion that all of the prelimi-
naries would be completed by Friday
or Saturday.
AS soon as all the states have re-
ported the following steps will be
taken here:
Steps TO BE Taken.
First. President Wilson will appoint
the appellate boards and the war de-
partment will send them rules for
their guidance.
Second The President then will Of
ficially proclaim a date for the draft
and regulations for the machinery
governing 1t.
Third. A final board Of appeals will
be named to sit at the war department
and pass on appeals from the deci-
sions Of the appeals board This board
will represent the President himself
Fourth. On the day set the names
will be drawn. Each man drafted will
have to LOOK for his own name either
in his home newspaper or on lists
which will be publicly posted in the
offices of the local boards.
Fifth. In no event will the actual
drawing be later than the middle of
next week, it was indicated. That will
leave approximately six weeks for the
selected men to make their claims for
exemption, if they have any and pre-
pare their personal affairs for the ac-
tual call to the colors Of the first
100000 about Sept l.

The splendors Of the universe,
Che qlories Of the world are this year
unfolded to American travellers in
the picturesque wog1derlands that
fringe the Caribbean sea. But ii Is
q new world IN new universe that
they find. No more marvellous
changes Of cYirnes, scenes and Gus
toms can be imagined than those
which greet the tourist, business
agent or seeker after health who,
from the snow and rigors Of an
American winter, ,plunges into the
luxuriant semi tropical environment
that characteri2es' the former colo
mics of Spain at her zenith.
Tt Is a new chapter from new
book. Modernly equipped buildings,
broad paved streets, pure water sys-
TENS, electric lighting systems, NOV
ias. theaters, automobiles, and good
hotels are features Of the Latin
America Of today. With an observ-
ance Of sanitation and new standards
of hygiene, the cities with their all
year outdoor life are among the
healthiest in the world
And the Caribbean has its temper
ate zone. The beautiful table lands
and mountain regions form almost a
half circle trimming the Caribbean
sea upon the south and west. In the
higher reaches the air is cool, even
cold sometimes. at night and you will
be uncomfortable without a warm
coverlet. The snow-capped Sierras
to be seen from the Santa Marta
foothills, nearby, are taller than the
Hottest peaks Of the Alps. In short

Ancient Greeks Had Trades.

In the days Of their greatest prosper,
ity the Greeks probably excelled all
other nations in the variety and excel
lenee Of their manufactures. Their
sons were often the great scientists of
their age, for Thales Of Miletus, one Of
the seven wise men of antiquity was
an oil merchant; Socrates was stone
mason, who left the quarry and bench
to become the teacher of mobiles; Arts
totle compounded drugs while trying
to solve his problems, apparently
proposed by other tradesmen, artists
musicians, architects and engineers:
Plato and Scion had callings as well as
studies and political activities. So. too.

And these countries are near at
hand! One reaches them far more
easily and cheaply than the Mediter-
ranean was reached by tourists be-
fore the war. One may reach Co
lombia in little over week from
New York, stopping at Jamaica and
the Panama Canal on the way. Get
aboard a steamer and try q trip to
the American tropics, Finest accom-

them. Take United Fruit boat, for

are, literally, floating palaces. They
are built especially for tropical travel.
Their spacious cabins are cooled with
refrigerated air. Fine la carte
meals are Included with the ticket
and by many routes, the steamers of
the fleet reach practically every port
along the Caribbean sea.

Washington, July 1.-THE great in

bringing tremendous pressure to bear
on the government to grant wide
spread exemptions to the labor en-
ployed by them.
Chicago packing houses have sent
representatives here to present their
eases to the administration, while man
Ing, leather and other industries have
made similar representations
AS a result it is learned hard and
fast rules for industrial exemptions
are being drawn up, They are practi-
cally complete, and are being held Sc
cret pending the appointment of the
appellate exemption boards to which
they will be entrusted.
From forecast of these rules it ap-
pears certain that in some cases en-
tire classes would. be exempted. This
applies especially to industries en-.
gagged in supplying the army. NUM-
tions makers, miners, shipbuilders,

and persons engaged in raising, cur
ing, packing, transporting or distribut-
ing food for the army are included in
these classes.
Especially widespread exemptions
will be made among farmers, although
they are by no means exempt as d
class. The demand Of the day is for
food and more food. Producers Of food
