SEPARATE work FOR
ten DRAFT BOARDS
Resistrants No Longer Report to
Central Office.

The Capitalization OF the ten local
draft boards on the fifth floor of
the District Building is now a thing
of the past. Registrants making
their way to the central file room
there yesterday saw a sign closed"
on the door. All were directed to
their respective draft boards in
various parts of the building.
The questionaires and records.
formally kept in the centralized bu-
reau, have been removed to the
rooms of the respective draft
boards. Registrants desiring to
know their status in the draft were
told that hereafter their own draft
boards would supply them with the
information.
All the local boards but one are
in the District Building. Number
three Is in the City Post once. The
latter board refused to accede to
the GENERALIZATION plan.

M'AD0O'S hint SAVES.
NY. Central $4,000
Director General Tells Company J
Per Cent Interest Is Too High.

Director General McAdoo yester-
day showed the New York Central
Railroad how II could save $50, 900,
and gave the gentle hint that ii
must see 1t.
The New York Central asked
authority to issue S6.000,o00 col
lateral trust notes for six or twelve
months. for paying on certain oblI-
cations maturing this week. The
railroad informed the Director Gen.
erai that the best terms IL could
get the money on was z per cent
per annum.
The New York Central was ad-
vised." said the Director General in
a memorandum, that 7 per cent
rate on notes of this character was
not justified, as such a transaction
would have the effect of encourag-
ing high rates for money.
The Director General thereupon
made inquiry of the Central Trust
Company, OF New York. as to
whether it could arrange to place
the $6,O00.00O needed by the New
York Central for six months at 6
per cent per annum interest, and
was promptly informed that the
Central Turst Company would
gladly provide the funds on the
terms suggested"

forts far beyond anything they be-

the war inspired them. The work
would be easier were 1t not for the
fact that most Of these women are
government employees, who have
given Uncle Sam eight hours of
their best vitality before they be-
gan this night work for the Red
Cross. The time they are offering
rightfully belongs to their hours OF
rest. To tired brains and weary
fingers this bit OF writing. folding
and counting seems akin to the last
straw which broke the camers
book.
Many of them are experts in their
own line and that all are experi-
enced workers Is easily OWNED by
the way they concentrate instantly
when the work is set before them,
without indulging in comments
which would waste their store OF

accomplished is astonishing, the
tasks ahead are appalling. but they
do not think OF either. so busy are
they with the present drive.

EXECUTIVEOR OR

bate Vigorously Ques-
ton Of Their Powers.

Executive power or advisory power.
which belongs To whom? was the ques-
ton raised at the session yesterday
afternoon Of the National Conference
Of the woman's Committee. Council
Of National Defense.
Both this committee and the wom-
ans Liberty Loan committee clam
ored for recognition as executive and
tried to relegate the other to the Sec
ondary position OF adviser. Friction
along this line showed the two or
ganizations as rivals both In national
and state matters.
Mrs. Antoinette Funck, vice-chair-
man Of the Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee, although Q member OF the
executive board OF the Woman's Com
mite OF the Council OF National De
Tense. championed the cause OF the
former organization.

"rhe Woman's Liberty Loan Com
mittse 10 q distinctly executive organ
ization," she argued. for II draws
its powers from its creator, the Sec
retary Of the Treasury. an executive.
The Woman's Committe, on the other
hand. draws its powers from Q purely
advisory source. the Council Of Ma
tional Defense"
The original source Of the woman's
Committee of the Council Of National
Defense" replied DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, chairman, ''is not the Council
OF National Defense, but an executive
committee Of the Council Of National
Defense"
This discussion, which became spir-
tied, arose when q delegate from q
state organization raised the point
as to who had power to appoint state
chairmen for work In the Liberty
Loan Campaigns.
She declared that the Liberty Loan
Committee would not recognize the
woman appointed by the Council Of
Defense, and had appointed another
woman to do the same work. This
duplication Of effort had led to fric-
ton In all the states. the delegate
said. The same member wanted to
know II the original status Of the

fense Committee. had changed, TO
which Mrs. Funck replied:
"The relationship between the two
organizations has not changed, but
the understanding OF those relation
ships should be changed. Wherever
possible, the two organizations should
work in harmony.
The Liberty Loan Committee, the
Food and Fuel organizations, and
the Red Cross are all distinctly ex-
ecutive bodies and demand the clos
est cooperation with the woman's
committee of the National Council of
Defense. with no executive powers,
but with advisory power, and power
to coordinate all organisations of
women"
Mrs. Funck dwelt at length on the
duty OF close harmony between the
two bodies of women.
