WOOD WORKERS AFFECTED
IN DRAFT STANDING

The Pace Wood & Timber COM
pany has just received word from
i Washington that industries manu-
featuring extracts for the tanning of
leather for government need are
most essential and must be kept in
operation. An extract from the
letter says: Labor is necessary and
the loss of "a skilled employe means
delayed production, and due to the
essentialness of these industries the
War Department has ruled that skill
ed employees in these necessary in
dustries within draft age should be
granted deferred classification.
Futher that men subject to the
selective draft employed IN the pro-
duction of raw materials for or the
manufacture Of extracts for tan
ming government leather, should be
granted deferred classification"
The Pace Wood & Timber COM
pany finding It's business affected to
considerable degree and especially
at Del REQ, Tenn, communicated
with Washington authorities to
ascertain the latest ruling, which will
affect the draft liability of quite q
large number of men.

I THE VISITOR TO

established a printing business and
during his two years Of hard work
Mr.. Eaves, who was actively in
charge of the plant, built up very
fattering business, which he would
not leave except for the fact that
his father and brothers have repeat
edly handed out strong inducements
to enlist his services with them in
their wholesale and retail grocery
business in Chattanooga.
The Visitor, although young, has
been independent in thought, and
firm and outspoken in its convictions
without the slightest political lean
ings.
Mr.. zEaves' straightforward busi-
ness methods have not only built for
himself a good name, and for The
Visitor a good business, but have
made him friends socially and frater

turned to his old home in Henderson

newspaper business in Waynesville

chaser of the plant makes arrange
ments to assume active management.

OOO,oO0,O0O.
FRANCE TO GET 80 DIVISIONS
Largest Efficiency Appropriation Bill
Ever Presented to the Congress of
the United. States - Covers
Program for Enlarged MILF
tary Forces.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Immediate
consideration was given by the house
to the military deficiency bill carr
ing S6,345, 10000, reported by the APP
preparations committee, to provide for
the enlarged war program during the
coming nine months. The measure
provides $6I52,062, 900 for the army,
$iO7 ,217,0O0 for the navy and $7O,OO0,-
OOO for family allowances of soldiers
and sailors.
An army of about 100000 men, 80
divisions in France and Is in training
at home by July 1 next, is what the
new program calls for. To prepare
and maintain it the amount now pro-
posed brings the total appropriations
and authorizations for the year up to
$36,00O,OOO,0OO.
Ceaseless Prosecution of War.
Ccaseless prosecution of the war is
the underlying thought back of the
bill, said Chairman Sherley in submit
ting, his report.
This is measure providing for the
prosecution of the war with the ut
most vigor and Dispatch" he added.
I'm its preparation no consideration
was given to recent peace events. No
money has been denied that is be-
lieved necessary ao carry on the war;"
General March, appearing before the
committee when the bill was drafted,
described it as the maximum effort
for definite maximum performance"
He pointed to the moral effect of such
measure.
Called Best Propaganda. :.
"It is the best propaganda in the
world for Germany" he said because
they cannot keep their people from
knowing that the United States is put
ting these billions of dollars into this
war. 1t is a concrete tangible thing
and is very important from that stand
point. They know they are becoming
impoverished. They sknOw they are
getting down to bedrock and here is a
nation throwing it's whole strength into
it,"
More than half of the total amount
;
carried in the bill is for the ordnance
department to permit the ordnance
needs until December 81, 1919, to be
planned by the war department.
General Horney, head of the ord
nance bureau, told the committee that
the new program calls for 14,600 new
guns for the increased artillery. The
Neville island ordnance plant near
Pittsburgh for constructing IA, 16 and
1S-inch guns will be increased, he said,
so that it will provided or the entire
coast artillery needs, as also a part
of the navy's demands. The output of
ammunition at the plant will begin in
December next year, with the first gun
being finished early in 1920.
