DRAFT AUTHORITIES
STOP QUESTIONNAIRES

No more Qucstionnaires will be dis
tributed to local registrants between
the ages of 81 and Is years, it was an
nOunced yesterday. 1t is understood,
however, that a date in the future
will be set by draft authorities on
which uuestionnaires will be sent 10
registrants in the 1S-year-old-class.
The order TO stop the Distribution
Of the pamphlets was received by 10
cal authorities yesterday. Up TO yes
terday, when the order was received,
about 30 per cent OF the registrants
of the group had received their ques-
tionraires. It had been hoped to have
them all distributed by the end of this
week. When the order was re-
ceived the preparations for the dis
tribution which had been made, were
Immediately cancelled.
Those registrants who had received
their Guestionnaires before the is
suance of the order will have TO ill
them out it is explained. They will
then be returned to the local boards
where they will be kept as a record.
Although there will be no more
draft calls. it has been announced
hat uuestiOunaires will be sent TO
the 1S-yeaT-Old reGistrants. The pur-
pose of this. it is believed. is to
keep a record of the available man
power of the country.
Work on the classification OF reg
istrants of the 10 to 37-year-old group
will not be interrupted because of the
suspension of draft calls. The work
of classifying these men is to bc
rushed to completion as soon as
possible. Most of tbs work in this
city has been completed. but there
are still a few of the local boards
which have not yet reported.

Just one little bit of President Will
sons message TO Congress. Monday
contains a mammoth program for
this old world to follow in the
next few months. when 1t is to be
accomplished.
Here is the little paragraph that
means SO much:
The great nations which asso-
ciated themselves to destroy 1t cine
militarism OF Germany have now
definitely united in the copmon pur-
pose to set UP such a peace as VIII
satisfy the longing of the whole
world for disinterested justice EN-
bodied in settlements which are
based upon something much better
and more lasting than the seliish
competitive interests OF powertul
States. There is no longer conJec-
ture as to the objects the Victors
have in mind. They have mind
in the matter, not only, but heart
also. Their avowed and concerted
purpose is to satisfy and protect
the weak as well as to accord their
just rights to the strong"
The work of readjustment OF the
world will be important, both ex-
ternally and internally to our ma
tion. The distance we have gone, in
some of our legislation. will never
be gone over again in the direction
of retreat. If anything We will go
forward from the great point we
have reached.
We doubt il some members OF
Congress realize this as yet. But they
will see it before their term Is over.
The people are quite determined to
keep what power they have achieved
and while the power given them has
not been sufficient to bring the results
they wanted, in all respects they Will
work out new programs which must
surely bring about all they desire.
In this respect the great problem
production and distribution Of food
stuffs. viii be the principal activity to
be revised
There are many solutions awaiting
submission to the people. Some OF
them are partisan in nature and made
only to bring partisan benefit. Others
are not tangent with politics at all
In our judgment the final solution
will be as free of politics as is the
effect the legislation will have upon
our domestic lives.

SUNDAY SERVICES
IT {. HILL BAPTIST
In new BUILDING

The services at East Hill Baptist
Church will be unusually interesting
Sunday on account Of being the first
held in the new building at 18th and
Gadsden. Another thing that has gen.
Grated much enthusiasm among the
members and friends Of the church is
the method adopted for seating the
church. The pastor suggested last
Sunday that each member and friend
of the church purchase one or more
chairs before next Sunday. The idea
spread like wild fire and it looks at
this time as II the house would be
amply seated by this novel method.
The pastor is expecting every one who
has so generously donated chairs to
come Sunday and experience the added
pleasure Of sitting In the new chair.
This Is not recommended in every in
stance however as some have purchas-
ed as many as twenty and would have
to spread out some In order to carry
out this suggestion. In these cases it
would perhaps be more practicable to
bring along friends enough to occupy
the extra chairs.
There will be the usual order OF SER
vices with perhaps some special music.
The pastor, Rev. A. C. Odom, Jr.. will
preach at both hours. The subject
Of the sermon in the morning will be
THE Church of the Living God" In
the evening: 1.-The Determining Prin-
ciple in the Judgment"
All members and friends are cordial
ly invited to be present and rejoice
with the church in the accomplishment
of their building enterprise.
