New Draft Will Strip Washington
 of Many Clerks

Washington, Aug. e-The applica- ton of the work or fight rule in con- nection with the new draft ages sub mitted to Congress is expected to strip Washington of it's great army of men clerks between the ages of IS to 45. Only old men, cripples and women will be left at the desks of all departments and branches of the government.
 Manpower to be released under this rule which will apply to all industries as we'll as to government departments is expected to go into the essential tndustrials and thereby relieve for ac- tual military service in the line the men of the first draft age, 21 to 31, who have been given deferred classi- fication by virtue of being employed fin essential work.
 The one and whole object of all laws and regulations relating to the draft from this time on will be to get men with guns in France, or ready to sail for the fighting front. The men for the army of 3.000,O0O abroad and 100000 at home as reserves will be taken so far as possible from men of the first draft, and it is expected that thousands will be dismissed from essential occupations to join the col

 All young officers, too are ticketed through to France, and will begin their journeys within the next sixty days. It is expected that there will be a clean sweep in every department of the government, and every able bodied young officer sent on active duty to France and the desk jobs that they have occupied will be filled by older officers by older pr disabled civilians and by women.

Washington.-The selective service
act was held constitutional by the Su-
preme Court.
The governments contention that
the power given Congress to declare
war included power to compel citi-
zens to render military service both at
home and abroad was sustained by the
court.
Chief Justice White, who delivered
the unanimous opinion in brief
statement, declared that after con-
sidering the various contentious the
conclusion had been reached that
most of them were imaginary rather
than real.
The decision resulted from the ap-
peals of thirteen cases growing out OF
convictions under the selective serv-
ice act. five coming from New York,
three from Ohio, four from Minnesota,
and one from Georgia. Constitution
ality of the act was questioned in all
the appeals.
The cases from New York were
those of Louis Kramer, Morris Becker,
Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman
and Meyer Graubard. The first four
were convicted of attempting to in
duce others of draft age not to regis
ter, and an additional charge of fail
ure to register was made against Kra-
mer, who was sentenced to two years
imprisonment. Becker was sentenced
to one year and eight months in Jail,
while Emma Goldman and Berkman
were ordered imprisoned for two
years and fined $4,000 each A one
year sentence was given Graubard for
failing to register.
In holding the law constitutional
the court took no action in those cases
involving charges of conspiracy to
prevent the carrying out of the pur-
poses Of the law. These, it was un-
derstood, will be taken up by the
court later. That question is involved
in the cases of Alexander Berkman
and Emma Goldman, Louis Kramer
and Norris Becker, convicted in New
York on the same charge and the So
called Ohio cases
