"SOMEWiERE IN FRANCE

The following is a letter writ

May oath, 1918.
Dear Friend Bert:
L received that little book
which you had the folks send
me, and want to thank you very
much for thinking of me. 1t GER
tainly makes person feel fine to
know that friends away back
home, have time to think of you.
Well life here is the same old
story over and over again, much
work and guard duty. There is
mot much excitement, only an air
raid every once in a while. Near
ly every clear morning a boche
photo machine comes over and
takes a few snap shots. Every
time one Genes over we all give
them a good pose. | think that
the Kaiser will have my photos
hung up in his study.
certainly am glad to know
that Toledo has began to boom
again. Its nearly time for it to
come out of its slumber.

home of Jeanne Dare, the other

to see and study it, because you
know it is true, and not just
rumors spread around by some
thoughtless person. The French
people admire and worship her
as much as the American people
do Washington, Lincoln and all
of our own great men.
had my first ride in an air
plane last week, and it sure is
great dope. The earth looks just
like hugh flower garden. The
many clumps of wood and the
Iplowed fields are the most beau
tiful. The roads look like chaulk
lines and you can't tell hill
from a valley. The sensation is
just like riding in a launch over
choppy waves. l had a funny
feeling in my stomach when we
started to come down. After the
machine gets up pretty high you
can't notice the speed, and you
don't realize that you are going
about one hundred miles per.
Well | will close, hoping to
hear from you soon.

"a misdemearor punishable by
lone years Imprisonment"
The campaign to run down
these draft slackars will be
started very soon, and it will be
a rigorous campaign. Men
guilty of evading military service
by failure to report when they
should be re-classified, need look
for no mercy.
Every patriotic registrant who
has been granted deferred slass-
ification, but whose status has
changed so that he is no longer
entitled to- that classification,
will report the change immed-
lately to to his local board" said
Captain John e. Cullison, in
charge of the execution OF the
draft law i'm the office of the
Adjutant General.
"ThOse who have not the pat
riotism to report voluntarily
will gain nothing by it. They will
be found ont and not only re-
classified, but will be subject to
severe punishment.
IF a man is in doubt as to
change of status, he should see
'hi5 local board about it without
delay"

GETTING AFTER SLACKERS

Federal authorities are get
ting ready to institute a merci-
less campaign to run down and
punish a new form of draft
Stacker.
This new Stacker is the draft
Iregistrant who was granted de-
Iferred classification, at the time
of his registration, but whose
status since has so changed that
he no longer is entitled to ex-
lemption, yet who remains silent
about this change in the hope it
will be overlooked.
There are estimated to be
Hundreds OF such cases in Ore
I2on, and thousands of them in
,the United States. Suspicion
particularly has been directed
against & glsat many Of the de-
,ferred classifications granted
Tor industrial reasons.
j now appears that the status
yOf many Of these men is Aot the
some ae when they were granted
dsfered classification. Yet they
have failed to notify their Local
Boards and continue to enjoy
exemption from military service.
In sCme cases, also, ths original
classification was not justified.
Many cases where deferred
classification was granted for
dependency also have changed
IN status but the rsgistrant has
not notified his local board.
With the time at hand when
the need for manpower is so ur-
gent that every available man
must either work or fight" and
when the lower classifications
ARE to be revised in order to
make more men available for
Glass 1, this form of evading
military services will not be tol-
Grated.
The draft regulations are very
plain and blunt in prescribing
,the penalty for failure on the
part of a man granted deferred
classification to notify his local
Iboard at once if his status Is
charged:
Every registrant shall, witt
in five days after the happening
thereof, report to his local board
any fact which might change or
affect his classification" says
Section 116 Of the Regulations.
Failure to report change Of
his status as herein required. or
making a false report thereof, is

other state departments were

were made, cost of labor and
materials have jumped along all

affected some of the departments.

CHEAPER FISH TO
SOLVE FOOD PROBLEM

The state fish and game de- /
partment propose to carry out to /
the fullest extent the purpose of /
the recent proclamation issued by
Governor Alexander throwing
open certain lakes and streams
to fishermen and allowing them
to sein for fish other than the
game variety therein. The de-
partment takes the view that by
SO doing it will bring to the
people of the state cheaper fish
and greatly assist as a war
measure in solving the food
problem.
Many applications from all
parts of the state have been made
to the warden for permits to sein
in these lakes and streams and
the permits are being issued.
The department is also advised
that at least one fish cannery
will be in operation soon, that of
the Blackfoot Cannery company
located at Blackfoot, which will
can mullet and other species of
fish found in the Blackfoot river
and which can be seined by the
millions. This factory will place
canned fish at the disposal of the
people at a price much cheaper
than it is now being secured.
There can be no possible
harm done by permitting the
seining of fish" the department
announced. "In fact it will re-
move from our streams and lakes

fish which are now detrimental
