JAGGE brooks CUT FEET
OF MAIDENS IN
MODERN LORELEI

When you see the many beautiful
girls disporting themselves in the
water as nymphs or diving maiffidens
in "A Modern Loreilei," you will new
err have any idea Of what these girls
went through with while working in
the scenes they appeared in. The
rocks on the Santa Barbara Islands
where the film was made are covered
with sharp, jagged edges and with
barnacles and other sharp shells. 1t
seems almost impossible to walk over
them with bare feet and yet these
girls did it and never made a murmur,
either This was due to the tact and
kindness OF the director, Henry OF
to. wo has the faculty of making every
one do any old thing for him and grin
and bear all the ills and discomforts.
Some of the marvellous dives depicted
in the picture were made from rocks
almost inaccessible and as sharp as
razors.
This wonderful picture will be
shown at the opera house Tuesday
and Wednesday.

REFORMS IN DRAFT
LISTS TO BE MADE

Sweeping reforms in Georgia's Sc
lective service lists, including new eX-
aminations for all Glass l men who
have been given deferred classification
and closer Investigation of all depend
ency claims, have been announced by
by Maj Joel B. Malletf selective serv-
ice officer for Georgia.
These reforms, which will amount
practically to the establishment of a
new draft system, are expected to re-
suit in a vast increase Of Glass L
men and revision of existing lists.
The new regulations, already effect
i've as of June l, will be put in force
for the first time in Georgia in the
call by the state military department
for 5000 men in June, and will be
used in all future calls.
The feature of the new system is
the complete abolition of the method
used in the past of basing current
quotes according to population and in
shutting a new plan of computing
quotas from the number Of available
fighting men in Class 1 and making
all calls for military service from that
class.
In view of the fact that all calls in
the future will be made from Glass
thorough Investigations will be made
as to the merits of deferred classical
tions and the addition to Glass 1 of
all persons who are found. eligible.
This will mean denomination of
practically all registrants IN Georfia,
and retrials of all appeals of depend
ency and other representations to The
boards, which have caused registrants
to be placed in classes lower than
Glass 1.
Georgia's net quota under the new
selective service regulations, effective
June 1, is 1895 men, according to an
nouncement made by Mai Mallet
This quota was arrived at by the
following method of calculation:
On May 1 the local boards of Geor-
gia reported total of 1858 fighting
men in Glass 1, exclusive of delin-
quents, men in the emergency fleet
service, men held for limited service,
men placed in remedial defect groups,
men previously indicated with cases
pending before medical boards, and
district appeal boards, and men not
physically examined. Taking so per
cent Of the 1853 fighting so as to
allow for an unanticipated shrinkage
of 20 per cent, ard subtracting the
number of men who have gone into the

service since May /, leaves a net bal
ance of 1895, which is Georgia's net
current quota.
These are the men who will be call
ed into service to supply Georgia's
apportionment of the next levies.
When they will be called depends on
the needs of the War Department At
present 5000 of them have been called
in the period from June 10 to 29.
The apportionment of Georgia's net
current quota Q7,395) among the
several counties has been made by
Maj. MalIet, and notices went out yes
terday to the various local boards.

CITY CARS
STOPPED BY STRIKE

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 11.-Kansas
City's street railway system was COM
pletely tied up this morning as a result
of a strike of car men n some of the
powerhouse employees, called at 4
o'clock. No effort was made to run any
cars during the early rush hours. In
addition, part Of the residence district
was without electric lights.
At Leavenworth, Kan, a car strike
also became effective at 4 o'clock this
morning, which not only stopped all
city cars, but tied up the ~interurban
line between L~eavenworth and Kansas
City.
The strike at Kansas City resulted
from a controversy over wages. The
federal wal labor board recently ruled
an increase in the wage scale depend
ent, however, on the financial abil-
ity of the Kansas City Railways com
pany or the possibility of the company
being able to charge an increased fare.
The federal court here refused recently
to grant an injunction which would
| permit the street car company from
applying an Scent fare and charging
i cent for transfers. Company officials
say the present Scent fare is not SUI
ficient to justify the wage award.

Shipping Paralyzed.

German shipping will hardly be able
to begin operations again for many long
months, and Germany is destitute of
raw materials necessary for her faCtO-
ries. All the elements OF eventual an.
archy are thus present in Germany at
this moment. But there still remains
the deep-seated tradition of order ana
Of discipline and the unmistakable de
sire of the mass Of the people to resume
life without more of disorder or riot
This latter Is a solid foundation on
which to build while it remains, but II
will not endure indefinitely, If it goes.
then we shall face something approx
mately the Russian situation, made al
! most insoluble by the lack of any stable
elements. These are the facts which
underlie the present reports of an ex-
tension of allied occupation as far as
Berlin. Such an occupation may easily
be on the initiation Of those clements In
Germany which must be the foundation
| of future reorganization. The allies can
| not permit the repetition in Germany Of
the Russian events; Germany sent
more and more to be approaching q
state of complete hclplessness in the
face of the rise OF anarchy. Therefore
| nothing is more probable at the present
moment than that allied armies will
have in the next few months, by their
presence, to save Germany from ruin
and preserve order until such time as
the elements of order and stability in
the country can reassert themselves.

chairs which sit in the window. The

a large golden eagle and a bronze
statue OF a charging French dragon.
The presidents bedroom adjoins his
study. 1t Is large and its walls are of
blue. The three-Quarter size bed which
President Wilson will occupy is ma

like a gondOla. The bedroom also con
