Washington, Sept. 5--Provost Mar
shal General Crowder said today that
the national selective service machin-
cry must speed operations Immediate

end of October.
+ Outlining changes in methods adopt
ed to that end, Gen. Crowder SAID
questionnaires would go out to regis
trants before the drawing has been
conducted to determine their order of
call and that local boards would be
urged to begin classification immedi-
ateIy. Questions relating to the time
of drawing, Gen. Crowder set aside in
discussing the subject, leaving only the
intimation that these would be an
nounced shortly.
THE necessity of filing the October
acquisitions either in part of in whole
out of the effectives to be obtained un-
der the new registration" Gen Crow
der said, after explaining that a few
class 1 men from the Aug. "a regis
tration would be available to fill early
October calls, makes it necessary to
look forward to substantial speeding
up in the work of the local boards OF
that stage of the operation and indeed
from the very beginning of the task
1t is imperative that the work of the
boards proceed much faster Gan a
year ago. In every possible way steps
will be taken TO make it possible for
this speed to be attained"

of 81 a day or IL cents an hour over
the pay they received last Jan / under
a new wage order issued today by Di-
rector General McAdoo. Advances are

This order, affecting half of the rail-
road men in the United States and adj
ding approximately S150.000. 900 to the
annual pay roll in calculations of labor

in American industrial history.
1t is supplementary to the general
railroad wage order issued nearly four
months ago, providing for about
$500, 900 increases, and for the class
es of employees affected, it Supplants
provisions Of that or1er.
Most of the employees covered by
the new order have made considerably
less than S100 month and the vol.
untary increase was decided oa by the
director general after investigation by
his advisory board of railroad wages
and working conditions OF the pay of
men doing similar work in other indus

OVER AUGUST, 1917
Cause for Qualification as Postal
Receipts Indicate City's
Prosperity.

Postal receipts for the. Pensacola
postoffice showed an increase in Aug
ust. 1918, over the same period last
year of $5,323.03.
Since postal receipts are taken
everywhere as the best indication of
the prosperity of any community,
Postmaster B. S. Hancock feels high
ly gratified over the big increase in
postal receipts. These are for stamp
sales alone.
August is usually the dullest month
of the year for the postoffice, and for
this reason the July figures exceeded
August 1918. by sSS767. In August,
1918. the receipts were s1,292.S3. In
August, 1917, the receipts We're So
S57.47 These figures are for stamp
sales only.
Not only do Pensacoia's postoffice
sales show a healthy increase in the
month OF August, but there Is a gain
of almost 100 per cent over the same
periods last year.

contrast which augurs well for the
