LANGBEHN Gets
HEAVY PENALTY
PIOw City Baker Pays $1,000 to the
Red Cross for DisObeying L.
5. Food Regulations.

Peter Langbehn, Moline baker,
who some weeks ago was taken to
Chicago for a hearing on a charge
OF disobeying regulations laid
down by the United States food ad-
ministration, has paid a fine of
$4,000 to the American Red Cross
According to rules it will be neces-
sary for DR.. W. E. Taylor, county
food administrator, to forward the
fine to the Chicago headquarters
of the Red Cross, but efforts will
be made to have the money re-
turned to Moline so that the local
chapter may benefit.
Irregular weekly reports from
Mr.. Langbehn caused food admins
tration officials to investigate the
case with the result that it was
discovered that he was not using
the required amount of substitutes
in the making of bread, rolls and
pastries. DR.. Taylor is of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Langbehn did not COM
init the offense through pro-Ger-
man propensities, but rather
through his desire to please his
customers by selling them bakery
pFOGuCtS containing more wheat
flour than is allowed.
lnasmuch as the government is
enforcing the regulation regarding
substitutes very rigidly it is said
that the Moline baker is fortunate
in not having his place of business
closed or having to pay much
heavier fine. All familiar with
food conditions realize that because
OF the enforcement of wheatless
days and wheatIess meals the al
lies have been able to secure the
food without which the war would
have been lost seyerae months ago.
Activities of all bakers in the
county are being investigated and
any violators Of regulations will
be subject to heavy fines. at has
come to the notice of the food ad-
ministration," states DR.. Taylor,
that many individuals are buying
wheat flour along with the required
amounts of substitutes and then
are discarding the substitutes and
making regular white bread. This,
it is clear, defeats the purpose of
the regulation and is a big aid to
the kaiser. Anyone engaging in
this practice is liable TO federal
prosecution.

over 5000 MAY
Be REGISTERED
Proposed Draft Law Means Signing
Up of Thousands in Moline
Exemption District.

Approximately $500 men in the
Moline exemption district between
the ages of IS and 81 and 81 and
a. will be registered in September
if the proposed man power bill is
acted upon favorably by congress.
This estimate is based upon figures
of the 1917 draft and has been made
by John II. COburh, secretary of the
Moline exemption board, in COM
plianCe with a request of the gov
eminent.
It is anticipated that nearly $500
more men than registered in June,
1917. will sign up next month, but
with the experience gained at the
former registration it is expected
that all viii run smoothly. The
government estimates that one and
a half times as many men will be
registered in September as a year
ago. The estimate was occasi0ned
b. the governments desire to as
certain how many file cabinets viii
be needed to handle the additional
records.
y hSt " lat 4lEtiAON4 III BC ALAl
plOyed to register the men is not
known. but it seems probable that
the voting precincts will be used as
registration districts. Registrars
viii be appointed in each district
in the Jurisdiction of the board, it
IS expected.
Since a call of unusual proper
lions is being expected after Aug.
Is, the government departments at
Washington have requested infor-
nation before Aug l., of the num-
Der Of registrants qualified for gen
eral military service, those quail
fed for only limited or special ser
vice. and the number who have al
ready been indicted or called for
induction since Dec. 90.
Headquarters of the exemption
board have been maintained in the
SGhTbeck building on Sixteenth
street and Fifth avenue, but with
the increased amount Of business
which will come about with the
second registration it is thought
that they will prove Inadequate and
already larger accommodations are
being sought.

EXEMPTION OF ALL
MARRIED MEN Is
FAVORED BY BAKER

Washington, Aug. 10.-New draft
regulations, under which the gov
eminent would do the selecting,
are under consideration by the war
department.
This was disclosed yesterday by
Secretary Baker, after he had/ap-
peared before the senate military
committee to urge prompt enact
ment of the act extending the age
limits.
He made it plain that he is not
satisfied with the present system
under which the registrant must
claim deferred classification. Many
with dependents hesitate for patri-
O1ic reasons to make such a claim.
He said he was inclined to the
opinion that the marriage relation
will in itself constitute deferred
classification.
He wishes to lay down a~set Of
questions for the registrant to an
swer and then have rules take care
Of the classification.
