HAD SEEN THEM "AT WORK"
Tommy Had Little Need to Puzzle His
Brains Over Question Propounded
by Teacher.


Here Is little story that was told
at a social session by Representative
Hubert ID. Stephens of Mississippi, as
nm Illustration that the best industrial
results cannot always be obtained
through team work:
Some time since, the teacher of
public school in country town was
instructing Il juvenile class in mathe-
matics when she turned to small boy
named Tommy.
Tommy said she, 'if your father
can do a piece of work in six days and
your uncle Jim can do II in seven days.
how long would II take them to do 1t
together?"
about ten thousand years" was the
rather startling rejoinder of Tommy.
Ten thousand years" exclaimed
the teacher. "Why, Tommy. what do
you mean?'
81 mean" was the prompt response
Of Tommy. shat If you put them to
work together they would sit on the
fence. smoke ana swap fish stories."-

y, CAN'T STAND GERMAN SOCIALISM

Allan L. Benson, Socialist candi-
date for president in 1915, has resigned
from the Socialist party. His resigna-
tion he describes as "a protest against
the foreign-born leadership that blind
~ believes a n0n-American policy can
be made to appeal to many Ameri-
cans"
In his letter addressed to the So
clalist local In Yonkers, to which he
has belonged for II years, Mr.. Benson
asserts his belief that nothing worse
could happen to the world than the
triumph Of German Imperialism. and
that therefore he cannot remain in a
party which places all the belligerents
on parity. and recently in Wisconsin
advocated the withdrawal of the
American army from Europe.
But he asserts that the Socialist
party is not pro-German and that the
rank and file, "like the rank and file
Of all other American parties, is es-
sentially American and therefore ar.

URGES HELP FOR RUSSIA

Gen. X. NJ. Oberoucheff, formerly
a prominent Russian commander, is
urging that the allies send an armed
expedition to Russia to restore the
east front and push back the Teutons.
General Oberoucheff was for 80 years
q Russian revolutionist. He was ar
rested in 1889 and again In March,
1917. After the revolution he was a
member Of the Kiev executive commit

resigned that post in October, 1917,

IDAHO TO FURNISH
500 DRAFTED MEN
Men of 1918 Glass Will be Indicted
If Necessary to Meet August
Call

Idaho will furnish 500 men in the
general draft call for the week be-
ginning August %. This completes
the $500 men which it was previously
announced would be indicted from
this state during the month of Au-
gust. The men will entrain for
Camp Lewis. Only white men, ply
sically qualified for general military
service, are to be indicted under this
call.
Idaho will have furnished $500
men when this call is filled, from the
period beginning June %, under the
operation Of the selective draft law.
The county quotas have not been ap-
portioned, but the adjutant generals
office announces that Idaho will be
able to fill the quota from class
without entering the deferred classes.
Men of the 1918 class will be used
to meet the requirement. The, to-
tai number of these men available
for service has not yet been deter
mined, but it is believed that the
class will be practically exhausted as
a result of the call. -F

Crowder announcing the call was re-
cveived at the adjutant generals Of

ORDER HALTS ENLIST
MENTS TEMPORARILY
Pending Disposition. of ..Manpower
Bill Volunteers Will Not be Re-
ceived; Plan will Prevent
Industrial Disruption

WASHINGTON - Voluntary en-
listments in the army and navy were
suspended completely Thursday to
prevent disruption of industry, pend
ing disposition of the bill proposing
to extend draft ages to include all
men between eighteen and forty-five
years. Orders were issued by Secre-
taries Baker and Daniels directing
that no voluntary enlistments be &C
cepted after Thursday, August 8, un-
til further orders.
The orders also exclude civilians
from appointment to officers train
ing camps until further notice.
The orders were issued after con-
ference between Secretary Baker and
Secretary Daniels and were made
public after President Wilson visited
the offices of both secretaries late in
the day. 1t is not known whether his
visit had to do with the enlistment
situation, but just before he confer
red with the cabinet officers there
was no indication that step Of such
drastic nature was anticipated.
New Order Explained
1t was explained that the view of
the government is that many of the
older men are indispensable in their
present occupations, but the natural
result of the debate on the draft age
question is certain to lead to rush
to the recruiting offices.
1t is regarded as essential that
men greatly needed at home should
be prevented from rushing into the
army under mistaken idea that they
are certain to be drafted anyhow
and prefer to join the service vol
unfairly.
The war departments action was
announced in the following state
ment, issued by Secretary Baker:
1.-THE war department Thursday
has suspended further volunteering
and the receipt Of applications fol-
officers training camps from civi
life. This suspension will remain IL
force until the legislation now pend
ing before congress with regard tt
the draft is disposed Of and suitable
regulations drawn up to cover thu
boperation of the selective system un
der the new law.
"This action is taken in order tt
prevent tn disruption of the indus
try of the country and the impair
ment of the efficiency of the various
governmental agencies which woul'
follow the indiscrimnate enlistmen
of men up to the age Of forty-five.
"It is the intention of the depart
ment to present to the president 70
PRONUNCIATION regulations in connec
ton with the operation of the selec
tive system, which will make it trul
selective, and leave it to the govern
ment to determine whether men ca
be spard from their present occpua
tions for military service"
Secretary Daniels, in issuing an OF
der to the office Of navigation an
the commandant of the marine corp
to refuse acceptance Of enlistments
made this explanation:
1.-THE large increase in enlistment
in the navy and marine corps ha
made it possible to suspend furthe
enlistment until pending legislatio
affecting the draft for the army
disposed of. When it is resumed
will be in full cooperation with tn
war department under the arrange
ments which will secure all the me
needed for both services"

boom Wednesday by accepting his
