GERMANY CALLING
BOYS II TO MEET
MANPOWER DRAIN

To meet the drain that the duel Of
death imposes on her. Germany Is
mobiliEing youths born during the
first half OF Is0o-barely seventeen
years old-said entente Official re-
ports today.
Her entire 1919 class has already
been called out. Loss Of men Is dis
regarded in making the gains thus
far obtained.
And while the loss Of Scissors, plus
other German gains, makes the situa-
tion more periious for the allies,
American and allied military men still
look with confidence today upon the
final outcome. There still was doubt
that the Soissons-Rheims smash is in
tended as Germany's major thrust.
While II may be major. with Paris as
its objective, the wooded terrain
ahead makes II appear doubtful that
the German general star so planned.
Secretary Of War Bakers comment
that the present smash Is extensive
and furious ably eharacterizes Il.
Yet there are signs that the next few
days will see a slaekening OF the
German punch and a stinening Of the
allied forces through Reinforcement.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, May 3O.-c
Loomis Allen. who mysteriously dis
appeared from the Belvidere Hotel,
baltimore, January 10, returning to
Syracuse after an unexplained alb
senee Of several months, today an
nounced his retirement from Allen
& Peck, Inc, operators Of public utili-
ties.
]. NJ shanahan, Of Hampton, va,
has been elected president Of the Arm

OF the concern is changed TO Shana-

ganized firm operates several rail-
way properties, including the New

and local boards must decide at rust
what point a lawyer may consider him
self useful to his country at this time.
Other professions are b the same
boat aAe es
The local boards are not expected to
July !. II will then be necessary for
them to take up the occupation cards
OF all men registered and consider
each mans case separately.
A local board member today point
ed out 70 The Times some interesting
cases that will surely come before
them. A store clerk, for instance,
may be making a pretty fair salary,
with q good sized family dependent
on him. What is TO happen II he can
not get employment in q useful
occupation in this city at anything
like the salary he Is getting? Can
he make as much. inexperienced in
other lines, as he does in a line he
has experience IN? Must his family,
probably needing all the salary he
now makes, be required to live on
the much lower salary he woulA
make in other workg They RouId
have to do so II he were put into ac-'
tive service in the army.
II is known to be the intention Of
local boards to put up to men the
patriotic question, whether they be-
lieve their present occupations to be
useful" to the Government under
present conditions.
The Washington times., 1918-05-30

classes because they have dependents.
The human elements Vof sympathy,
justice and fairness will have to
guide local boards, which will have
no straight lines 70 follow. as has
been the case in other draft orders.
General Crowder's instructions to
the local boards will not definitely
name all the occupations he regards
as nonessential. They will, however,
point out certain classes as examples,
and the judgment Of the local boards
must settle each case as Il comes up.
He has already named walters, ele-
vator conductors, and store clerks as
examples Of the classes Of men he
has reference to and these references
must largely guide local boards.
Labor Proateers Hit.
It Is intended for local boards to
understand, for instance. that walters
are in nonuseful occupations because
their places can be filed, without Sc
rious detriment, by women or men
under aud above draft age, while the
men can be put in the army or 70
work in essential 1ndustrfes and
occupations.
General Crowder is said to hint
Droaoly IN MS INSTRUCTIONS that loaI-
ers are not necessarily those who
are doing, practically. nothing, but
that the term should include men
in munition plants and es-
sential industries who make it a busi-
ness to work four or hve days a week
and loaf the other days, simply be-
cause they are making 30 much money
they do not know what to do with It.
The draft boards are likely to put in
the fighting ranks many men in these
Industries who now think themselves
safe from service in the trenches. III
4 man is not willing to work at least
six days a week in important and
necessary Industries. he Is likely to
dnd himself in the trenches working
seven days q week.
Every OeeuPatIOn IneIuded.
Practically every occupation in the
District win be included in the sweep
ing orders TO local boards. Young
lawyers without much practice have
already raised the question whether
they are In non-useful occupations,

The eleven local draft boards Of
the District Of Columbia, ten located
IN the District building and one in
the City Postoffice, are daily be-
Geged by men who come under Gen
eral Crowders' "work or fight" or
der, applying to those presumably
engaged in non-useful occupations.
The estimate that 1000 or 5000
District men are affected by this or
der was today considered low by
heal board officials Judging from
the number Of anxious inquiries.
Boards Go Slow.
The local boards are unable to fur
nish information except Of a general
nature and carefully refrain from at
tempting hints at what may be the
hnal Interpretation Of this order,
which touches all men in deferred
classes who are not engaged in what
General Crowder terms productive
and useful work.

NOT so BAD
Don't Worry About Tubercu-
losis la France.

Colonel Charles Dercle. French
Medical Military Attache OF the United
States Surgeon-General's Office, has
prepared a statement for the March
American Magazine in which he says:
Americans have been told that tu-
berculosis has rsvaged the French
troops. and that il will spread to the
United States army. The truth is that
there Is less tuberculosis in the French
army today than there was among the
French people before the war.
when our soldiers were mobil.
lied in 1914 they had been sleeping,
as was the custom in France, with
closed windows. They had been
working in shops and Offices, where
fresh air was a thing to be afraid Of.
They almost never took outdoor ex-
ercise.
"The result was that some Of them
were tubercular. We took these men
and put them into special hospitals
But the number Of such cases has
been exaggerated by German propa-
gandists. More than this, we soon
food that good many Of them didn't
have tuberculosis at all. They were
merely below par physically. With
proper treatment, they were soon fl
to be put in the fighting ranks.
tuberculosis has steadily de-
creased in the French troops. Life
in the open, plenty Of exercise, regu.
larity in eating, and wholesome food
have improved their health in this
resoect. as in others"
