Representatives Of the Hos Island and
Bristol yards were confronted before
the board with the criticism that they
had "lured away" men from established
places Ike Cramps by offers Of higher

W. r. Smith, OF the Bristol yards,
declared that this was not true In the
case Of his own yard and that although
II had its own employment agency, 1t
had not actually gone into rival yards
and offered the men Increases enough

man had gone to Hos Island from

given the yard authority TO hire him.
The chief cause Of complaint, and
the most serious cause, adduced by the
labor interests before the hearing, was
based upon the fact that II was pos

1000 MORE YOUTHS
Liable TO DRAFT
Fully That Number Be-
came of Age Since June
5 of Last Year
PROTEST AGAINST
CLASSIFICATION

Decision by the government TO have
registered and then TO draft all young
men as soon as they become q years
Of age as a means Of keeping llled the
ranks Of the new armies has caused a
stir among the youth Of this city and
state who have become OF age since
June 5 Of last year and who. on this
account, have been thinking themselves
free frcm a call 10 the colors.
II the new bill as introduced in Con-
gress becomes a law several hundred
Wilmington youths who have reached
their majority since June last will
have TO register for military service.
The exact number cannot be deter
mined but it is estimated IL will reach
probably 1000 men. The exact figures
can be determined only by an eXami-
nation OF the birth records IN the Of
flee Of tho Board Of Health and this
would require a vast amount Of work,
How many young men would be affect
ed throughout The State Is not an
nounced.
Local exemption boards are receiving
protests from many young men as 4
result OF the methods OF classification
under the QUESTIONABLE system. Many
registrants who have returned their
questlonnaires have tlled appeals for ex-
emption on industrial grounds. In
cases OF this kind. where there Is no
other ground on which 10 claim ex-
emptlon, the local boards have placed
such reglstrants in Glass A 4, and they
have been notified TO this effect.
u is these men who are flling their
protests, because they evidently do not
understand the rules and regulations Of
the QUESTIONABLE system Where a man
has no claim for exemption except on
industrial grounds, the local board has
no authority TO classify him In any
other way than 10 place him in Class
A 1. This does not mean, however,
that the man must remain there.
All Industrial claims for exemption
are disposed OF by the District tState)
Exemption Board. In cases such as
these mentioned, the reglstrant has the
right OF appeal to the District Board
even though he be placed by the local
board in Glass A 4. and the Dlstrlct
Board will be furnished by the local
board with all data in the case and
the District Board will then make mai
classification.
The last OF the missionaries are
coming TO the local boards and within
few days all Of them will have been
dled. The list Of delinquents VIII
then be made public Each boald VIII
have a long list Of delinquents and the

THE LAST EXAMINATION
OF WARS DRAFT

Many a man has fallen down because
a test of his water showed unmistak-
ably that he had kidney disease.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood, Their sig,
mails Of distress are easily recognized
and include such symptoms as backache,
depressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twingeS,
dropsy, gout.
1.-THE very best way TO restore the
kidneys TO their normal state Of health
and cure such symptoms" says DR.,
Pierce, Of InvalidS Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y,
is TO drink plenty Of water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount Of AnuTic, double strength, which
Is dispensed by almost every druggist "
You will find Anuric more potent than
ithia, disSolves uric acid as water does

phia turnpike as one Of the most inn
portant sections Of the entire state sys-
tenn.
In view Of the fact that the State
Highway Commission, by law, can build
a wider road and more easily condemn
land than can the county. and that only
through them can federal aid be re-
ceived, this road had better be left to
the State authorities 10 construct.
In reviewing the Lincoln Highway as
a whole, OWING TO the kind OF road
necessary 10 meet the conditions OF
modern travel the elimination Of sharp
curves and other dangerous parts OF
the road, including grade crossings, and
the reconstruction Of nearly every
bridge, all Of which will entail heavy
expenditures, but will be repaid by the
dement's received, your honorable body
resolved to build first the stretch Of the
Lincoln Highway through Newark to
the Maryland State line. The cost Of
this section Of thirteen miles viii prob
ably exceed the $4,000 bond issue and
as the cost Of the six miles Of the Phila-
delphia turnpike viii probably exceed
$4,000, your judgment seems TO have
been warranted in constructing this
greater length OF road, leaving the
Philadelphia pike as aforesaid to be
constructed by the State
At the meeting OF the Association
OF Highway Oflcials in Richmond in
December. attended by our most adj
vanced road engineers, including Mr..
Logan Waller Page. director OF the Of
nee OF public roads Of Washington,
who is in touch with every portion 6f
the nation. It was unanimously re-
solved that in view Of the present and
future conditions, road construction
should be pushed 10 its utmost limit
At the war convention Of American
business men, held in Atlantic City,
and addressed by government officials,
IL was resolved that the improvement
Of public highways is important and
essential as a war measure and should
be encouraged in every way.
General Goethals, State engineer OF
New Jersey. has recommended that
construction OF modern roads be
pushed as rapidly as possible in that
state. Nr. Hoover also has recon-
mended continuation OF road construc-
tion. The National Defense Commit
tee endorsed acceleration OF road work.
Undoubtedly the build Of our high
ways is as much a war necessity as
many Of our other national projects
and will help TO win the war TO an
extent which no one can foresee.
England is now striving with all pos
sible haste to correct the error OF neg
lecting her roads; France is working
night and day in keeping her roads flt.
shall we not give heed to the lessons
they have learned?
These facts and arguments we have
set forth with the hope that our State
Highway Department can be induced
to undertake the rebuilding OF the
Philadelphia turnpike at once, the de-
tails Of construction Of which can be
safely left 10 our State engineer.
Yours respectfully,
