reached by the new regulation also In
clude walters and bartenders, theater
uShers and attendants, passenger ele-
vator operators and other attendants
of clubs, hotels. stores, etc., domestics
and clerks in stores.
Deferred classification granted on ac-
count Of dependents will be disregard

man may be at the bottom Of class l,
or even in class 4. but IL he fails with
In the regulation and refuses to take

May Solve the Labor Problem.
The statement of the provost mar
shal generals office is as follows:
Provost Marshal General Crowder
today announced an amendment to the
selective service regulations which
deals with the great question Of COM
pelling men not engaged in a useful
occupation Immediately to apply them
selves to some form OF labor contrib
uting to the general good. The idler
too, will find himself confronted with
the alternative of finding suitable en-
poyment or entering the army.
This regulation provides that after
July /, any registrant who is found by
"A local board to be a habitual ider or
not engaged In some useful occupation
shall be summoned before the board,
given chance to explain and, In the
absence Of satisfactory explanation
10 hc lnducted into the military service
of the United States.
ANY local board will be authorized
10 take action, whether 1t has an orig
inal Jurisdiction Of the registrant or
not; in other words any man loafing
around a poolroom in Chicago may be
held TO answer to a Chicago board even
though he may have registered in
New York and lived there most Of his
llfc.
"rhe regulations which apply to Idle
rrglstrants will be deemed to apply
also 10 gamblers Of all description and
employees aud attendants OF bucket
shops and race tracks, fortune tellers,
clairvoyants, palmists and the like,
who for the purpose OF the regulations
shal! be considered as idlers

be drawn yesterday against more
than ten thousand last year.
The first capsule was drawn by
Secretary Baker. II contained No.
2i6. Gen. Crowder drew the second
capsule and other dignitaries Of his
office followed. after which the re-
mainder OF the capsules were drawn
by a lady clerk in the Office OF Gen.
Crowder.
The number a4G does not get any
body in York county as the York
county numbers do not run so high.
While IL was attended by the same
ceremony. the drawing this year Is
not fraught with the significance I.
the men affected as was that last
year. The order in which the num-
hers are drawn simply determine the
relative position OF the men al the
bottom of the class to which they viii
le assigned under the classification
system after they return their ques-
Itionnaires which now are being mail
eel them.
| However. young men without de-
pendcnts not engaged in an essential
industry will be placed at the bottom
OF Glass !, and as the men now IN
that class soon will be exhausted they
undoubtedly will be called within q
few months. Those placed In the de-
| fcrred classes are not likely to be
called at all certainly not for some

One of IN" most surprising things
with which We come into daily con-
tact in connection with the European
war is the general ignorance with re-
gard to the fact that England Is
taking any part. People generally. or
most of the people seem To think. that
England Is hardly doing anything and
the most that is being done is by the
French and Americans. Now. the
French are not to be discounted in the
slightest in this thing. They have
done nobly and are still doing nobly:
but those who discount England's
achievements are making a most Sc
rious mistake. Since the beginning OF
the war. England has put nearly eight
million men into her armies and ma
Wy, and she shares an equal number Of
men and women working in tn" mu-
milton factories and clScwhcr" behind
the lines. Up to the present time.
England has actually lost on land and
SEA about 2.50O.OOO men. or about as
many as the United States has raised
for her armies up 10 this time. Thcr"
has never been any discount on the
lighting qualities of the british and
there should hr no such discount now.
Except for the British the Germans
would have wiped ont Franc" long
ago. and except for the intervention
of America. the British would prob
ably bc wiped out 10y this time. But
England is still tremendous factor
in this wal and Americans have -
right to hc thankful that they are 60
ing Ia hav" British help for quite u
while yet.

.N Raml"rS thu other day. Senator
Mcl.Iurin said: II venture the aSser-
tion that there is not Il man in the
race for governor who can discuss
the question Of finance intclligcntly
and | challenge him To do it," The
senator is exactly right about that.
We doubt whether. except Mr.. Nc
I.aurin there iS Il man in the race who
can tell of hand the difference he
tween q legal tender note and a Fed
cral reserve note or course any OF
them can get the information later on
and he prepared 10 answer 10y the
time they get here. But it was he
cause Senator Mrl.aurin understood
finance and only because he under
stood finance that he w;Is able To Sc
cure for the farmers who produc"
cotton the benefit of the peculiarly
valuable qualities that cotton has rs n
liquid security. which valuable quail
ties had been previously engaged Ia
the limit 10y everybody except the
farmer. II was also because Of his
knowledge of finance that Mr.. Nc
l.aurin was able to reduce the rate of
insurance that the farmer was pay
ing on his cotton. The fact of the
business is that Mr.. Mcl.aurin has
always been a thorough going iinan-
cial expert. fully able to take ad-
vantage OF every opportunity that
came his way in that line, and what
he is driving at now is TO give To the
people of his state generally the bcnr-
iii OF some OF the advantages he has
so long enjoyed individually.

THE VICTORY ON THE PiAvE
Bio Fight Promises to be Of Great Ad'

vantage TO the Hllles.
Although Austria Is continuing her
efforts to make her people believe that
her defeat on the Piave was really a
victory, the allies generally are very
much pleased with the results Of that
affair.
In the early stages Of the Often
sivc, the Austrians were sue
cessful in taking several miles Of Ital-
ian territory to the west Of the Piave
river; but later the Italians pushed the
Austrians back and not only recap
tured the guns and munitions that had
been taken; but recovered most OF the
Italian prisoners.
The reports from Rome insist that
the losses of the Austrians in killed
and wounded and prisoners were not
less than 100000, and Vienna claims
that the Austrian losses amounted to
10000. The Austrian claims, how
ever, are not taken seriously by the
Allies.
Dispatches Of yesterday say that
when the Italian troops penetrated
the former Austrian lines on the east
bank Of the Piave. they came upon
thousands of naked italian soldiers,
who had been t;-ken prisoners by the
Austrians, robbed Of their clothing,
and abandoned in the retreat.
The tremendous sue less Of the Ital-
ians over the Austrians has brought
into still more serious consideration
the question Of a drive toward Vienna.
There are many military experts who
believe that II the allies will devote a
major effort in this direction they will
soon be able to put Austria out Of the
war and bring Russia back into 1t; but
II these plans conform to the ideas Of
General Foch, no intimation Of the
fact has yet been given out
The Austrians have been driven
from the west bank Of the Piave; but
1t is not understood that the Italians
are continuing a general offensive on
the east bank.
