reau of ash and garbage inspection

the city is asked by Mr.. Sheeslev.

for this cleanup will determine
largely how soon the regular collec-
tions by two-week periods, will be
started.

FOR NECESSITIES
War and Labor Departments
Give President Plan For
Putting Shirkers to Work
By Associated Press

Washington, April 6.-P President
Wilson had before him to-day a plan,
submitted by officials of the War
and Labor Departments. designed to
Use the machinery of the draft to
put industrial slackers to work.
The main purpose of the new pro-
gram as agreed upon by the Provost
Marshal-GeneraTs office and Labor
Department officials is to purify"
the second, third and fourth classes
OF registrants who are not engaged
iE productive industry, but the lower
section of Class 1 also is given at
tcntion. Framers of the plan see in
its working solution of the nations
labor problem and large increase
in the production of the necessities
Ct life.
Every registered man who has
been given a deferred classification
would be given to understand that
his exemption is not a legal right
Tut a privilege and that if unfair adj
vantage is taken of that privilege it
" i'll be revoked.
The proposal provides for a sur
vey of the lower sections of Class l
and other classes TO identify idlers
or those getting their living from
undesirable or harmful" pursuits.
Gambling is suggested under the lat
ter head. Notficatio would be serv-
ed on these men that unless they
FOUND employment in useful indus
try their status would be changed
and they would be inducted into the.
military service Immediately.

America to Surprise
Teuton Junta, Lloyd
George Tells Guests

London, April 6.-Premier Lloyd
George telegraphing to the lord
mayor of London on the occasion of
a luncheon given to celebrate Amer
ica's entry into the war said:
During the next few weeks Amer
lea will give the Prussian military
junta the surprise of their lives"
Premier Lloyd Georges telegram
which was read to the assembled
guests by the lord mayor said:
The decision of the American
people that it was their duty to join
in the great struggle of free people,
against the attempt of over -weening
despotism to establish its own uni
'versal dominion by military power
was one of the most momentous
events in history. During the past
year they have been bending all
their energies to the work of pre-
paration. During. the next few weeks
America will give the Prussian mill
tary junta the surprise of their
lives"
Foreign Secretary Balfour said
the meaning of Americas action he'd
not thus far been appreciated in this
country. To realize what 1t meant,
Englishmen must ask themselves
whether Great Britain would have
taken the same course in the same
circumstances.
