GENERAL LOGAN DOES NOT BE-

READJusTMENTs UNDER
WAY IN COUNTIES
Believes New Law viii Force Class 1
to Provide All Men Necessary
More Than 10000 Iowa Men Remain
in Glass I After Next continsents Go
to Training Camps.

Des Moines, April 17-Classes ,, 9
n 4 of selective service men may
never be called.
Passage Of the new law, basins
draft quotas on the number of men
in class l, has made it unlikely that
there will ever be necessity for
calling deferred classes.
This is the opinion of Adjutant
General Logan.
Quotas have been determined &C
cording to population. The senate
resolution to change the basis to
the number of men in class l has
been passed by the house and
needs only the presidents sigma
ture now to make it law.
This new system will mean a
complete reclassification OF regis
tered men in Iowa. General Logan
said.
There is too great a difference
IN the percentage OF men in class
in the different counties.
From IA per cent of the total
counties to 81 per zen in others
-oiS III class 4.
Judgment Differed.
There is no good reason for
such a great difference except that
local boards have differed in judg-
ment as to what men should be
placed in class II
There is a great deal OF differ
ence in the percentages of class !
men in the districts in Des Moincs.
The percentages are as follows:
Division /, SO per cent.
Division ., So per cent
Division 3, IS per cent.
Division 4, Is per cent
The average OF the state is PA
per cent
More in Cities.
The percentage OF young. un-
married men, who would naturally
come in class ! is greater of course
in cities than in the country dis
%tricts,' General Logan said.
That accounts for the high per-
ceutages in divisions and . but
does not explain why the percent
age in division 4 IS so low"
Changes that will bring about
a greater uniformity OF method nave
been suggested in order to adjust
the matter.
There were $3.50 ~selectve serv-
ice men in Iowa in class l when
classification was completed about
the first OF the year. Comparatively
few OF them have entered the serv-
ice yet.
Draft Class I Men.
The first considerable draft of
class I men in Iowa will be sent for
ward to Camp Dodge during the FIVE
day period beginning April 26. There
will be 3,412 men in that contingent.
There will be 1910 class ! selective
service men sent to Jefferson barracks
at st. Louis during the fve-day period
commencing May 10.
There will still remain between
10000 and $4,000 class I men in Iowa
after those c~ontingents have been sent
to training camps.

Washington, April 17.-Senator Cum
Minis, Representative Ramseyer and
Secretary George Wrightman, Of tho
Iowa State Manufacturers Association,
conferred yesterday about the Iowa
coal situation and will make com-
plant to Fuel Administrator Garfield
today.
They had before them protests wired
from Governor Harding and State Fuel
Administrator Webster against the
Garfield zone order. These protests
sent to Senator Cummins, as we'll as
some others of the delegation, strongly
insist on alteration Of the order.
Governor Harding says that by. the
order the east third of Iowa is pro-
hibited from using Iowa coal, that five
state institutions are in hat territory,
that he asks permission to have Iowa
coal shipped into all parts Of Iowa.

He says Iowa miners are working
but two days a week and labor agents
from elsewhere are Offering them in
ducements to go to other states to

The governor regards the situation
as extremely serious, as do members
Of the delegation. Representative Good,
who received the protest OF Governor
Harding, said he was inclined to set
forth the facts on the floor Of the
house. He regards the Garfield order
as a mistake and a blunder. He said
that unless a plan was permitted

When the Community Chautauquas
wanted man to go to Europe under
the direction of the Red Cross for the
purposes of interpreting the conditions
at the front to the peoples of Amer
lea, they chose George p. Bible.
They chose him because his is an
eye that sees-sees far down below
the surface into the heart of things.
They chose him because his is a
brain that records it's impression with
Photographic fdelity-so that he
would remember that which he had
seen-remember it, to tell to US at
home.
They chose him because he is an
orator of ability, capable of express
sion in voice and manner that spreads
as by contagion to his audience, the
things his eyes have seen, his brain
recorded and his heart has compassed.
And George P. Bible is back from
Europe with his message.
He has been to France, to Belgium,
to the very pit of the hell of war it.
self, and his lectures, "Scenes From
the Front" and Garry On" are gems
of eloquence. But they are more than
that. They are revelations of the
things to which our boys in khaki have
gone and are going. They are camera
true pictures of the world war. They
are vigorous, red-blooded stories of
conditions on the other side, and what
they mean to you and to every other
liberty-loving American.
Needless to say, Mr.. Bibles lee
lures are exceedingly bright spots or
the Chautauqua program.

COUNTRY life is no longer "the
pastime of the rich, the prison OF
the poor" The isolated farm rs
no longer hopelessly shut off from the
world, nor are the great stretches of
open country between village and vii
lage, suburb and suburb, practically
waste on the owners hands Greater
and greater areas are constantly be
coming available for homes to classes
to whom country life was impossible
before.
But to all this great natural and
wholesome movement there is one for
midable obstacle that bulks large in
the eyes of the would-be country
dweller-the total lack of police pro
lection throughout the country dis
trictz.
In the state of Ohio, for example,
there are thousands of square miles of
farming land where a uniformed officer
of the law has never been seen. There
are hundreds of miles of good roads
entirely unpatrolled And the areas
now dotted with little settlements or
otherwise suitable for homes have no
more police protection today than they
had when they lay uninhabited and an
inaccessible waste.
Every city police official knows that
his town harbors an indefinite number
of crooks and criminals who in the
city, live an orderly life, but whose
scene Of operations is the suburbs and
the open country. Again every CITY
police official knows that criminals
making their escape from justice In
the city make their wOnted refuge the
country. There they can ply their
trade at will while waiting for pursuit
to siacken.
The burglar, the robber, the safe
cracker, the yeggman, operating in the
country, takes his observations at his
own convenience, does his job, and
makes his getaway" at will The
sheriff of a New York county recently
said:
"a string of house -breakings, bur.
glaries, arson and automobile thcfte

months in my county. The rich have

Few men get to be on intimate
terms with even one of the great men
of the world. Robert Parker Miles
has known many Of them.
1t was Gladstone, the great British
statesman, who said TO him, "Mr.
Miles, you will go down in history as
a contented man, a contented man"
That was in response TO a remark Of
his great lecturer and world traveller
20 the effect that he was now content,
having intimately conversed with so
great a man as Gladstone.
Others whom he knew on his trips
around the world were kings, popes
ministers, authors, statesmen.
And he has a charming tale to tell
"a "tallow dip" of each.
Indeed, his lecture, "Tallow Dips"
is almost a Chautauqua classic, pre-
senting intimate pictures of such great
and famous men as Pope Leo XIII,
George Francis Train, Moody and
Booth Tucker.
This year he has added to the great
characters who have had places in his
Chautauqua lectures in the past, the
portrayal of great men who have been
developed by the world war-promi-
nent Americans and others who are
winning the great struggle.
