TO RE-CLASSIFY ALL
 MEN IN DRAFT SERVICE

Word was received in Juneau by Capt. J. J. Finnegan to the effect that all local exemption boards will be obliged within the near future to re- classify all the registrants under the former questionnairies in the hands O. the board. Many men were placed in Class four whose dependencies have ceased to exist since that time, many men were placed in Class for slight physical defects, and others have re- ceived deferred classification for other reasons.
 The new order will result in many persons who received deferred classi- fications being shifted up to Class One. It is the intention to secure tie cooperation of hospitals, doctors. and dentists to correct slight physi- cal faults in many men which will al- lew them receiving the higher clas- sifcation. This work of re-classifi- cation will start within short time

EVERY NAIL DRIVEN INTO SHIPS MEANS
 COFFIN FOR KAISER

BRENERTON, June 6.-"Every ship timber that is hewn from the for ests of the northwest is plank in the platform of democracy, and every Tiye5 driven in a ship is nail in the coffin Of the kaiser" said Chaplain Henry Van Dyke, U. s. U. R. F., form erly United States ambassador to the Netherlands in an address to yard workmen here last evening.
 This is a German-made war. I was where I could see the preparations for this terrible conflict. Germany was ready for this war to the shoe faces for the third pair of shoes for every man of military age in the German empire.
 With us it is war against war and t is the war of every man here. There is no difference in the value to the government of you men in overalls and the man in the uniforms Of blue and of khaki. It is war for the pro- ltCt4Cil Oi Lilc llSHLo Ol tHc WOf 6 man and after it is over there will be a greater appreciation of mans real value than at any previous time in history"
 Chaplain Van Dyke admitted that he was 2 D. D. and an L. L. D., and a few other things, but declared that he must relax into slang to express his real self in regard to the war. He re- ferred to the German leaders as the
 predatory potsdam gang" with a pause after the pots and decided em- phasis on the next syllable. Once he deviated his admiration of the spirit with which America is in the war to state that he did not be. lieve in sending men, who have been found with bombs for the Instructions Of American ships and other proper ly. down to North Carolina to play ten his, he declared that he would be in favor. of giving them fair trial and then hanging them by the neck Hanging them is too good for them he said in luson.-Bremertc News
