WOMEN TO BE
 RESTRICTED
 AS ENEMIES
German Women to Be Included in an Alien Enemy Restriction Bill As Huns Best Spies Are
 Among Female Sex

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. - Legis- lation is being drafted to extend the alien enemy restriction to all German women as we'll as the German men in the United States and territories. Congressional leaders have given as surance that the measure will be en- acted shortly.
 The fact that many of the best of the spies of Germany are women, has caused them to be included in the re- strction measure. The Legislators declare that they overlooked the pet ticoated spies when the measure was drawn up.
 The registration will not affect Alaska at present as a certain date for registration will be set for terri tories and islands.

RATTLE FRONT RE-
PLACES GOLF LINKS

University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan.
ia veritable first line trench now
zigzags across the University of Ore
gon golf links, and Lieutenant
Colonel John Leader, head of the de-
partment of military science, states
that dugoIt and communication
trenches will soon follow.
The trenches were laid out under
the direction of Colonel Leader, Dr.
E. H. McAllister, head of the depart
ment of mechanics, and DR.. w. d.
Smith, head of the geology depart
ment. The work is being done by
the university company of engineers,
who ply pick and shovel every Satur-
day morning from to ~.
When the men have had practice
in the construction and use of trench
es, Colonel Leader plans to illustrate
the use of different explosives by
blowing up the whole system.
In addition to this work, four
bridges are to be planned and built
by the engineers with the help of the
university battalion, illustrative OF
the four different types-pontoon,
frame, trestle and pile. At least one
of these will be a permanent struc-
ture and will span the "old mil
race"

Draft Board Paid
On Unit Basis

Portland, Ore, Jan. IA sweep
ing change in the method of COM
pensating members Of local draft
boards for their work in connection
with the selective service law has just
been ordered by the provost marshal
general at Washington.
Instead of being paid for their
work at the rate of 81 per hour, as
has been the case, they are to be paid
on a unit basis. That is, at GER
tain. specified rate for every man to
whom a QUESTIONABLE has been sent
by the board and whose final classifi-
cation has been made.
Thirty cents per man classified for
each board has been fixed as the rate
of compensation.
In ordering this change in the
method of compensation, the provost
marshal general has emphasized par
ticularly the fact that many board
members, and in many cases entire
boards, are giving their services to
the government without any compen-
sation whatsoever.
To these patriotic officials the gov
ernment has expressed its deep ap-
probation of their services.
But unfortunately, it is explained,
other board members have turned in
claims that are felt to be extrava-
giant. So high are these claims in
the aggregate that they total more
money than congress could be ex-
pected to appropriate, or the people
to approve, for that purpose.
The decision to change the method
of compensation by placing it on a
flat unit basis of 80 cents per man
classified for each board was largely
influenced, the provost marshal gen.
eral explains, by the urgent sugges-
tions of many board members them
selves who felt keenly the erroneous
position in which they were placed
by the heavy claims of other board
members.
Any board member who desires to
give his services to the government
may still do so under the new regula-
tion. Furthermore, it is provided
that any board may, by unanimous
vote, arrange that one member, or
two members of the board, may re-
ceive the compensation, though in
such case no two members may re-
ceive more than 25 cents per man
classified, or If only one member is
to be compensated, he shall not re-
ceive more than Is cents per man
classified.

UNLOAD FREIGHT QUICKLY!

Mr.. McAdoo, director general of
railroads, has just issued a most
earnest appeal to shippers and to
everyone in any way interested in
freight transportation to unload and
release cars with all possible expedi-
tion.
He calls attention to the circum-
stance thoughtlessly overlooked by
the average shipper that every hour
a car is detained unnecessarily adds
dangerously to freight congestion and
is more instrumental than any other
one thing in causing disastrous
freight blockades.
Individual shippers are apt to feel
that an hour or two, or possibly a
day, does not amount to much, while
the haste necessary would inconven-
fence them considerably and entail
additional cost. He forgets that a
hundred thousand others are feeling
and acting the same way, that the ag-
gregate delay means hundreds of
thousands of days of lost efficiency,
and that this stupendous waste
causes the congestion that finally
breaks down the system.
Mr.. McAdoo is not making this ap-
peal through any considerations OF
personal gain or profit to the rail
roads, but as a matter of patriotism
and national safety. The highest
possible efficiency of the railroads of
the nation is absolutely necessary to
put this country where it must stand
IL il is to carry on successfully the
great struggle in which it is now in
yolved. Every thoughtless citizen,
merchant, shipper or business man
who takes one hour needlessly out OF
the combined force necessary for sue
cess is just as guilty-possibly with
out realizing it-as the criminal who
pulls a brick from the foundation OF
a great structure. Comparatively
few need be thus removed to bring
the whole mass down in terrible
wreck, and this is what, by the di'
rector generals appeal, he is earn
estly struggling to avoid. Every pa
triotic citizen in the nation should
get behind him with earnest and Wig
orous support, and it can be done in
no more effective manner than By
exercising the utmost effort to un-
load and release freight cars without
an unnecessary moments delay.

LET MACHINES DO 1T
is FARMERS SLOGAN

Corvallis, Ore, Jan. Its al
ways handy to have someone or
something to pass the buck to in time
OF trouble, and farm machinery is
looked to as the goat by go-ahead
farmers in many parts of Oregon.
Bigger crops than ever before with
scarcer and higher-priced labor than
ever before quite evidently can be
raised in no other way.
Tractors for plowing and harrow
ing, combines for harvesting and
threshing the grain crops, and bulk
elevators for handling the grain are
the types most counted on for doing
the work of the farm help called to
the trenches or other lines of service
Milking machines are also being in
troduced in large numbers into the
dairy districts of the state.
Farm tractor dealers put 21 tract
ors, big and little, into the farmers
week demonstrations at the college,
to give farmers a chance to see and
study them and pick out the ones
best suited to their use. This indi-
Gates the strength of the demand
they expect. The college farm me-
chanics department is conducting
four-week tractor course, to train
farmers and farm help in using and
caring for the big machines.
