NEW CALL MAY TAKE ALL THE
1918 DRAFTEES.

That calls for selected registrants
during the months of August will ex'
haust the 1913 draft registration in
addition to men of the old registra-
ton that have been reclassified and
placed in Class 1, is the opinion of
officers of the local draft boards af-
ter receiving a communication from
Major Henry Rhodes, chief of the
selective service of this State.
Major Rhodes in his communica-
ton stated that calls for August
would induct approximately ten
thousand men into the service and
that all local boards should speed
up the work of Redistribution and
examinations that they might have
enough men available to I'LL their
quotas.
Major Rhodes notified the local
board that the selective service reg
ulations have been amended as fol-
lows:
'Postmasters at first and second
class postof1ces are hereby author
lied to file aff1davits with local draft
boards for the purpose of securing
deferred classification, Glass 8, for
the following employees only: Super
visory officials in postofices, post
Office clerks whose services cannot
be dispensed with without materially
lowering the efficiency of the ser
vice; drivers of governmental owned
automobiles, mechanics and skilled
laborers whose services are absolute
ly necessary, clerks and substitute
clerks employed at military
branches"

BIG VOTE GOOD MEDICINE FOR
SICK SENATOR JAMES -

The big idea with leaders of the
Democratic party in Kentucky is to
bring out for Senator Ollie M.
James denomination at the primary
election next Saturday the heaviest
vote possible. and to that end all
individual members of the party are
being asked, regardless of what may
be or may have been their political
Affiliations, to lay aside their business
or professional tasks long enough to
go to the polls and stamp a ballot for
the stalwart Kentuckian, now ill in
Baltimore, who so valiantly stood by
President Wilson, aiding in the shap-
ing and presentation of those war
policies which daily seem more GER
tain to produce world peace and the
destruction of Prussianism.
During the week dispatches from
Baltimore and letters from Washing
ton brought information to the eff
feet that Senator James was not so
well as he had been and that caused
his friends to send back stimulating
messages and at the same time to re-
double their efforts to bring out a
vote of endorsement such as they be-
lieve will help him to recover.
The presence of the name of for
mer Congressman Preston Kimball, of
Lexington, upon the ballot as an op-
ponent of Senator James has ceased
to be a matter of consideration in
any section of the State. 1t is con-
coded that Senator James would have
received many thousands more votes
than will be cast for Kimball, even
had not the Lexingtonian issued the
request to the Democratic voters to
stamp their ballots for the man from
Marion.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals
has on two occasions quite recently
held that under no circumstances
may a candidate have nomination or
office unless most votes have been
cast for him, so it is contended by
those who argue extremes, Kimball
is quite out Of consideration.

was in position to be of considera-
BILE service to him. He stated fur
Their that he could get him out of

Mr.. Lawrence Mitchell of the CONVEX
sation and asked him to help him
trap the man.

and met Mr.. Day. Together they
proceeded to the home of the latter.

which followed. Howard reiterated
his proposal, and added that he had a
cinch in the matter of getting him
and his brother both out Of the
drafted service, on the payment Of
SIS for one and 800 for the other.

scheme, and made out a check for
SIS, which he turned over to How.

to keep silent about the transaction,
left the house, and as he passed the
porch was seized by Mr.. Mitchell
and Mr.. Day and placed in machine
and brought to Paris. where he was
turned over to the Sheriff. Mr.. Days
check was found in Towards pocket.

many interesting things to tell

rendered patriotic selections:
Mrs. ID. S. Donaldson, the Mis-

The Misses Eula Edmiston and
Carrie Roberts sung well render
ed solos, all of which were of
a patriotic nature.
M. u. Finley, of the local
Community Council, introduced
the speaker, who held the close
attention of the audience from
beginning to end. His address
was along the same lines and
practically the same information
as contained in an article printed
in the last issue of the Outlook,
headed, "Registrant's Inform
alton" that legislation was
pending which would admit stud
ents to the Army Training Corps
by voluntary induction.
Such men would be on furlougl
status until such time as theil
names would be reached in tn,

if any parent sent his son to tn,
school with the hope of his be
ing able to evade the draft, the.
had better save themselves tn,
trouble, as the training corp
was no place for slackers. Th'
address was a good one; and w
welcome speakers like Prof
Vaughn and the more the mer

SUBMARINE TORPEDOES
TROOP SHIP
British Liner Carrying $500
American Soldiers

News of the torpedoing Of the
British liner Persic, with $500
American troops on board, in the
war zone September g. was given
to the American people Wednes-
day first through the British ad-
miraty and then through the
Navy Department. All the
soldiers were rescued by accom-
panying destroyers, the steamer
itself beached, and the enemy
submarine is believed to have
been accounted for.
Officials at Washington have
viewed the result as an allied
success more than a disaster.
The fact that the steamer was
torpedoed when endeavoring to
overtake the conveyed fleet of
transports after overcoming en-
gine trouble indicated that the
submarine commanders are still
fearful of attacking troop ships
in convoy. And the immediate
and completely successful as
sistance rendered by the de-
stroyers was taken as additional
evidence that the conveying sys-
TEN is practically perfect.
