Tony Imbrogno's decision that It
would be easier for him to enlist in
the army % those who will neither
work nor fight than to get himself
job to-day met with small ap-
proval with members of the Steel
ton local draft board. So after due
deliberatlon covering all of two min
utes the board decided that Tony's
decision was good as far as Tony's
decisions usually go but that Uncle
Sam could use him as a soldier
Tony reports tomorrow for his
physical examination and members
of the board are of the opinion that
there is absolutely nothing that will
keep Tony from leaving for camp
before the month has rolled out.
Tony had been given a deferred
classification on his affidavit that
he has 'dependants." He will be
the first Dauphin county man to
have Uncle Sam do his thinking for
him since Crowder's famous orders.
Tony's career was upset this
morning when the Steelton police
declare he told them that he could
not be made to either work or fight.
Chief Grove accordingly took him
before the local draft board, where
the need of having every available
manu- III liS Sleel lhu uuStrleS is EeCoB-
niZed.
Before the board Tony was sure
that work would not agree with him.
He had no intention of entering a
mill of any kind.
I'D rather join the army than
work." was Tony's declaration.
Good" said Chairman c. c.
Cumbler. ito the army you shall
go. And if you have any friends
with similar ideas bring them along
tomorrow when you'll get your
physical examination.
In less than three hours after he

the job. The negro, according to
his employer has not given him any
trouble.

According to a Times dispatch from
Toxic, quoting the Vladivostok cor
respondent of the Asahi. the new

The program OF the new so .ern-

avoidance, if possible. of foreign in
teIvention; universal suffrage: es-
adjustment of provincial councils
and labor bureau; distribution of
