Accident At School.

a painful and rather serious acct
dent occurred yesterday afternoon at
the City High School, serious, because
it will probably deprive the boy of the
proper usefulness of the index finger
of his right hand.
Franklin Spriggs, of the county, a
nephew of Mrs. Thomas z. Strange,
was engaged in the work of the
Manual Training School, when in
some way the forefinger of his right
hand was caught in the saw and the
end of the finger literally sawed off.
First aid was given and as soon as
a surgeon could be had the wound. a
very painful one. was dressed by the
family physician

about a controversy in Clinton
county over the use of a telephone.

cused of using very strong language
directed to those in charge of the
main exchange. After an investi-
cation. the public service commits
sion ordered the service restored,
but this order was not made until
after the commission had made an
investigation, and substantial proof
was submitted to the effect that the
woman had not used Objectionable
language. In disposine of this case
the commission lays down the rule
that because some one pays for the
telephone service, such persons
have no right to use disrespectful
language in addressing the main
office, and when they do so. their
connection may be severed by the
company This is as it should he.

The Intern0d Germans.

Some purchases of Liberty Loan

reports of the treatment accorded
by the United States authority to
the German civilians interned in
this country, have written to the
Treasury Department protesting
against the use of any of the money
raised by the Liberty Loans in
"pampering" these alien enemies
These interned German civilians
are not prisoners of war and are
not under the jurisdiction OF the
War Department or the Treasury
Department. but by the provisions
of our immigration laws are placed
under the jurisdiction of the Depart
nent of labor and comprise officers
and crews of the German merchant

and other German civilians. Their
deportation. which ordinarily would
take place. is impracticable in view
Of the international situation.
These aliens receive no compen-
sation from the Government except
such as is allowed them for work
actually performed, and the WAGES
paid them are not exhorbitant at
all. 10 fact. from their labor and
other sources they receive more
than moderate amount of money
a month, all in excess of a reason
able amount for their care and COM
fort is withheld from them and
placed to their credit in the postal
saving banks or some other safe dis
posal is made of it.
The Department of Labor also
officially states that these aliens are
not allowed an excessive amount of
food, but three meals a day of plain
but thoroughly palatable. substantial
food are given each. There is no
waste in these detention camps and
the same measure of economy and
conservation are being practiced
which are being urged upon the
American household.

To Move Feb. e.
Provost Marshal General Crowd

Provost Marshal General CrOwder
announces that the movement of
the last increment Of the men
selected in the draft will begin on
Feb. %, and continue for q period
of five days. This will complete the
operation of the first draft, as all
states will have furnished their full
quotas. The movement will bring
the strength of the national army
up to the 685. 900 men contemplated
in the frat draft.
The numbers of men which will
be started to the following canton
ments on Feb. % are:
Taylor. Ky, 1884; Funston, Kan,
1882.
Advance supplies of equipment
for the contipgents are being assem-
bled at the camps and environments
in various sections of the country.
Secretary of War Baker has in
sisted on the accumulation of ample
stocks of clothing and other neces.
sary supplies before the additional
men reach camp. The work is being
rushed.
The date of the second draft call
is dependent upon the removal of
troops now in training. There is no
plan under consideration which calls
for the construction of new canton
ments or extensive enlargement of
the existing camps
The second draft apparently will
not apply to all states simultaneous
ly. Transfer of the men of the first
national army is regulated by the
availability of ships. AS transports
become available, contineents which
have completed their home training
will be sent abroad. Registrars to
be called under the second draft
will be ordered into military
services as camp space becomes
available.
This would provide a period of
continuous training. Fresh troops
would be ready for service in Europe
at all times under this plan. Secre-
aary Baker is understood to favor
this plan.
Baker has stated there was legal
authority to call as many as a mill.
ion men under the second draft. He
hardly thought it wonld be neces-
sary to call that many, however
Officials of the provost marshal
generals headquarters are working
out a scheme for the registration
ahd classification of the men who
have reached the age Of Fl years,
June S. The bill placing these men
under the selective service regula-
lions is expected to be pushed with
but slight delay.
No details of the proposed plan
have been made public. 1t is under
stood that it is the tentative idea to
have these men register with the
local draft boards in their respective
districts. They will be classified
under the QUESTIONABLE system.
Whether those who have become ri
will be registered on a specific date,
as was the case in the original
registration, is not known. 1t is
considered probable that a time
limit of several days in which they
may register, will be fixed. rather
than allowing but single day.
