TEXAS TO HARBOR NO IDLERS
WHILE The WAR NEEDS MEN
Raids Will Be Carried Out In Cities
and Towns of Texas Until All
IdIers Are Reached.

Austin, Tex.-Governor Hobby has
been called on by the war department
for strict and rigid enforcement OF
the work-or-fight order. The governor
has instructed his aid in charge of the
selective draft, Major John c. Townes
Jr., to proceed with vigor in the en-
forcement of the order.
Discussing the matter, Major Townes
said that, in addition to the raid made
at Fort Worth, they will be carried out
in other Texas cities some time this
week. He says the selective service
draft department is going to put idlers
in the army or put them to work in
useful occupations. There is to be no
compromise with idleness.
In the past the selectiye draft has
been concerned only with securing
men for the army and determining
whether or not they have legal exemp-
tions from military service. The work
or-fight order, says Major Townes,
goes much farther and makes it the
duty of the draft department to COM
pei idlers to work and TO change from
nonessential to essential occupations
With that end in view, he is preparing
for a campaign to rake up all idlers.
