RECRUIT PUTS POSER
TO ENLISTMENT MAN

Stockton, Cal, June 21.-When is
first child" not first child?"
This is the question that has been
causing Sergt. r. r. Mergenthal, of
the local United States Marine Corps
recruiting station, to spend sleepless
nights lately.
George Hadley, of Kensas City, ap-
piled to Mergenthal for enlistment.
When Hadley informed him that he
was married and had two children,
Mergenthal told him that he would
draw $3.50 for family allotment,
namely SIS for his wife, $40 for his
irts child and $3.50 for his second
child. But Hadley insisted on S35.
How do you figure that? queried
Mergenthal.
well, my youngest are twins, so
how are you going to figure the first
child? They both come under the
$40 head" answered Hadley.
81 gave up" declared Mergenthal
after puzzling over it for few hours.
The delicate question has been put
up to the authorities at Washington.

GERMAN NAVAL CRITIC
ADMITS U-BOAT BEATEN

London, June.-That German u
boats are unequal to the warfare
against them is the virtual admis-
sion of Capt. Persius, the naval critic
of the Berliner Tageblatt, says Rot
terdam dispatch to the Daily Tele-
graph. Capt. Jersius writes: Every
layman knows that U-boat losses are
unavoidable owing to the continually
increasing sharpness and effective
ness of the defense measures of the
enemy which, perhaps, will further
increase as the war progress is.
ut is scarcely to be denied that
our enemies are both carrying on the
war and living and that il will be
possible for them to defend them
selves against tonnage needs for a
long time at any rate. From the De
ginning of the U-boat war il was a
mistake, often committed among us,
to underestimate the resources of
our enemies"

instructions To DRAFT
BOARDS ARE GIVEN OUT
BY Provost Marshal General
Crowder On "Work Or
Fight" Order.

Washington, June 1.-lnstruc-
lions to the draft boards were issued
to-day by Provost Marshal General
Crowder explaining and simplifying
"the work or fight" order under
which after July 1. all men of draft
are. regardless of classification. must
engage in employment to be produc-
tive or join the army.
when it has been determined a
person in deferred classification is an
ldler or engaged in non-productive
service" said the instructions the
classification order number of such
persons will be withdrawn and he
will be Immediately indicted into
military service"
Several specific rulings were made
as to the effect of the order upon
certain classes named as non-pro-
ductive. In the case of sports and
amusements the language was repeat
ed with emphasis. without mention
ing baseball. the status of which will
be decided only when some individual
case has been appealed.
Managers, cooks, clerks and others
not engaged in the actual serving OF
food or drink in public places are ex-
empted from application in the sec
lion declaring the service of food and
drink is non-productive.
Store executives. head of depart
ments. travelling statesmen, registered
Pharmacists, delivery drivers and men
doing heavy work are not included
among the clerks and statesmen class
ed as doing non-productive work.
Local boards will consider cases
of withdrawal of deferred classif-
cation with common sense, Gen.
Crowder's instructions say, and they
name illness, vacation, the impos-
sibility of securing productive en-
without change of residence,
as reasonable grounds for waving
the general order. Travelling sales
men will be considered as engaged
in productive employment. but auto
mobile statesmen in cities will not, it
was explained. Public or private
are held to be non-produc-
ers only when they combine other
work with their mechanical duties.
Local boards are asked to assist
to obtain new employment
through the Federal employment SER
vice and are given power to post
pone action while effort is being made
to place men in occupations held pro-
1uctive.

AIR ROUTE TO EUROPE
TO BE ESTABLISHED

Washington, June 21.-The estab-
lishment of an air route to Europe
from the United States in order to
bring the full force of the American
effort in the air to bear against Ger
many, has been decided upon as a
definite project by the British air
council. a new organization. into
which all British air service has been
merged. This was disclosed to-day by
Major General William Brancker con
troller of equipment on the council,
who is in Washington to discuss this
and other projects relating to air war
fare with American officials.
Plans for the initial flight in Au-
gust, September or October of this
year are already we'll advanced. Am
erican cooperation is sought and
Gen. Brancker hopes the first machine
will carry both British and Ameri-
can flyers. At least three BRUSH
pilots are regarded as being qual,fi-
ed for the trip and are now here and
several types of machines produced
in England have an ample fuel capac-
ity for the forty hours flying 1t is es-

creased rates would be inconsider-
able, the rates and the system would
Cypress the newspapers in time of
need and oppose system of collec-
ton complicated and expensive. Rates
to the outer zones would be prohibit
tive. Mr.. McAneny said, and would
mean restriction of circulation. Ar
rangements for passing the increased
cost of postage on to the subscriber,
he said, already are under way.
A thorough investigation Of the
subject before drafting legislation
was urged. Mr. McAneny asserted
that the Post-oiiice Department had
been built into a profit maker large
ly through the instrumentallity of
second-class mail.
Chairman Kitchen, questioning the
statement that the newspapers of the
country could not stand the increase,
asked for net income and loss of sub
scribers by individual large newspa-
pers. MIR. McAneny said he knew
nothing of their book figures; that
there were 500 newspapers in the
Association. Representa-
tive Longworth, of Ohio, wanted to
know about the proportion of news
paper circulation affected by second
class mail rates. The witness said
that in the case of his paper it would
be about Is per cent. but he could
not say as to newspapers generally.
