DRAFT DODGERS
NOW HUNTED OUT
OF SHIPYARDS
Reported That Places May Be
Filled by Victims Of Work
or Fight Order.

Local draft officials were Interested
to-day in a report that Provost
Marshal General Crowder has under
consideration a further revision OF the
draft regulations designed TO place in
military service rrgistrants now GA
empt solely because OF their employ
ment by shipbuldlng concerns, and
whose places might be taken by men
In deferred classes who are affected
by the work or fight order.
Draft Director Martin Conboy said
that while he had not been informed
Of such proposed action, 1t would be
desirable, as there we're men who
| could be replaced effectively.
-rhere has been a suspicion" he
added. that a number OF men with
out previous occupational experiences
making their services specially valu-
able, got employment with the Elmer
gency Fleet Corporation for the spe-
ciflc purpose OF avoiding military
service. Where cases OF this sort
have been brought to our attention
| we nave communicate WI ~"
Emergency Shipping Board or the
Navy Department and have asked
that an Investigation be conducted"
In every Ease the Fleet Corporation
has co-operated with us" he said.
wherever It has been found that
the man was employed in good
faith, we have not been too exacting.
but where 1t has developed that the
work could be done by others in de-
ferred classes and where 1t appeared
that work with the corporation had
been sought for the purpose Of avoid
ing service. We have Immediately re-
voked the special deferred classifi-
cation. This has been going on for
about two months"
In view of the fact that thousands
OF clerks, food handlers and othCr
non productive laborers have been
unable to get productive work for
which they are fitted. Mr. Conboy
wns asked whether their induction
into military service was imminent
"we have been directed" was the
reply "to take into account domestic
necessity and the inability OF mC1
TO obtain productive employment
Where any man makes n sincere
effort to get productive work. even II
he fails. we do not intend to impose
an unnecessary hardship on his de-
p~endcnts."

ENOUGH FOR ALL

NEWS that Middletown and New
~ Cumberland both are to have
shares of the big Government
depots to be erected in this locality
VIII be good tidings to partisans of
both sites.
So far as Harrisburg people are
concerned it mattered nothing to
them whether the warehouses were
placed at New Cumberland or
Middletown. This city will get its
share of the benefit in either case
and it is not jealous of the good
fortune of any of its neighbors.
The Chamber of Commerce made
representations in favor of the
Middletown site because it's officials
believed that it presented the most
advantages. They acted from a
purely patriotic standpoint. They
would have been entirely willing to
see some city other than Harrisburg
selected if the country would be
better served thereby. But it was
their conviction that of the two sites.
that at Middletown was best adapted.
They held no brief for Middletown
and they had no animosity for New
Cumberland.
Engineering experts of the Army
haye concluded that the Middletown
site is best suited for one type of
depot and that at New Cumberland
for the other. They bow to the de,
cision and rejoice with New Cum
berland that her devoted and pa
triotic people have been so we'll able
to present the advantages of that
locality to the Government. There
is glory enough for all concerned in
this, and if the Nation is best served
by the arrangement that appears to
have been decided upon, Harris
burg is quite content.

-FOUR MINUTE MEN"

= ISTEN to the -Four Minute
Men" They have a message for
every American. These patriots
have volunteered to spread the gos-
pei of loyal Americanism by word of
mouth wherever people gather to-
gether. Their next campaign will
be to inform every wage-earner, or
salaried or propertied man that he
must make an income tax report
April 1.
The -Four Minute Men" have un-
dertaken to perform an ungrateful
task, for this part of their message
should not be necessary. The news
papers have printed columns upon
columns OF warnings on this sub
5ect. The man who does not know
that he is required to file an in
come tax report is grossly careless
or he is trying to dodge his share
of the war tax.
But the -Four Minute Men" will
have something also for the patriot
who is seeking information as to
what he is required to do in help
ing Uncle Sam find out about the
slackers and the duty of each man
in seeing that there are no income
tax dodgers in his neighborhood.

Too many are invincible in peace,
invisible in war.
Right depends upon the sword as
well as upon prayer.
The Kaiser says God is his part
ner. Why, he's got the devil hang
ing to the ropes and gasping for air.
The hell the Kaiser's raised makes
the old original hell look like q side
show.

row, Germany against America, hell
against heaven. Germany lost out
when she turned from Christ to
Krupp and from the Cross of Call
vary to the Iron Cross.
A pacifist is a Judas Iscariot.
Dead men and dead women of
America, get up! Our country's as
saulted. Let's put it over for Lib
erty and for Jesus Christ.-Billy

RATS ALLIES OF HUNS

Government experts, are urging
that the rat be eXterminated as a
war measure for saving food. The
waste each year due to the rodent is
estimated at 5000, 100000. A full
grown rat consumes more food than
a baby. In addition, the animal is
q menace to health.
The terrible scourge of the bub-
onic plague in Europe and Asia was
spread by rats and their parasites.
When the plague was carried by the
animals in ships to our Pacific coast
a campaign for their determination
was conducted in the seaports at
much cost. The disease was thus
stamped out as it had been in the
Orient, by the pound of cure instead
of the ounce of prevention.
The plague returns at intervals
from it's breeding places in the over
crowded and filthy cities of Asia.
War, pestilence and famine travel
hand in hand. A recurrence may be
expected as a result of the depriva-
tions of war among the impoverished
eastern people.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The war, into which the country
was plunged unprepared after Will
son had won on the slogan 'he kept
us out of the war;" STAYED off for a
time the disaster threatened by the
democratic free trade policy but
the dangers to which the split of
1912 had subjected the country were
known to all Republicans, and has
brought the conviction that the re-
turn of Republicanism to power is
essential to the well being of the re-
public. That is why the Republic
ans have already got together. And
that is why the task of William
II. Hays, the new chairman of the
Republican national committee
should be an easy one in preparing
for the coming congressional cleo
tions.-York Despatch.
The entomologist who declares
that the farmer seldom, If ever, gives
the crow credit for his good deeds
probably is right. Who ever heard
a farmer say that the crow on a
plowed field picks up hundreds of
cut worms, wire worms and white
grubs? Yet men who understand
birds declare that the destruction
of insect pests by the crow more
than offsets the value of the sprouted
corn taken later in the season. All
the expert testimony indicates that
the stories of the misdeeds OF the
crow might we'll be revised.-Johns-

HHE mortality rate from all

VttE mOftalty rate from all
causes in this war has been less
than that of all great wars of
the past, of which we have records,
according to Edward A. Woods, a
well-know statistician of Pittsburgh.
Wide repetition of a false statement
to the effect that an American SOL
dier sent to France has only one
chance in two of returning indicates,
according to Mr.. Woods, that its
spread is largely pro-German propa-
ganda, assisted by thoughtless
Americans with the object of caus-
ing encouragement among Ameri-
can parents. The fact is, according
to Mr.. Woods, who has made an ex-
haustive study of the subject in a
statement for The New York Times,
that the American soldier of 20
years of age who is now in the
trenches has the same chance of
being alive at the end of the war, if
1t last year or so longer, as a man
of so in civil life has of living the
same length of time. Mr.. Woods
wrote:
"As a matter of fact, strange as it
may seem, the total mortality rate
of this war is the lowest of any great
war ever fought; less than one-half
that of our Civil War, where there
were seven deaths out of every hum
dred per annum, whereas on the
western battle front there are less
than three per annum.
The most reliable data on the
war mortality is that of the French
Army, which has certainly not lack
ed exposure to all kinds of danger,
and is suffering particularly from
the enormous spread of tuberculosis
before the war very prevalent in
France, which was behind in tuber-
culosis work. The definitive casu-
alties-including not only deaths
from battle, but from wounds re-
ceived in battle-in the French
Army have been officially stated as
follows:
Per Cent.
First five months of 1914. =. Sal
Whole of 1915. ......... 4.07
Whole of 1916, ...,... 2.75
Assuming that the American
Army, certainly more free from tu-
berculosis, has as great mortality as
the last available figures from the
French Army profiting by the eX-
perience of the British and French
Armies, and after far more prelimi-
nary training, it means that the
chances of dying from battle or
the average American soldier are
about the same as the chance of the
average man of go, dying during the
next twelve months. 1t is about
three times the normal mortality of
the average man at ages, say 80 or
40. 1t is not greater than the NOR
tality of many hazardous civilian oc-
cupations. To put it another way,
the chances are greater that a man
of 40 will die in the next three years
than that his son in the service will
die from the casualties of war in
one year.
THE average soldier in the Ameri-
can Army runs very little more risk,
If any, of dying than the average
coal miner, city fireman, electric
lineman, brewer or stonecutter of
the same age. One explanation of
this is the successful effort of the
French and British Armies, and 1t
will certainly be at least as true of
the American Army, to obliterate
abnormal deaths from disease. which
formerly was the greatest cause of
war mortality. In the Civil War,

THE HOUSING PROBLEM

A NDREw S. PATTERSON lets
1 y it be known that the Chamber
of Commerce, of which he is
the head, is prepared to give Harris
burg's housing problem the prompt
attention the urgency of the situa-
ton demands. This quick response
to the Telegraph's plea for early
consideration of the biggest prob
lem now confronting the city, indi-
Gates that the officials of the
Chamber are keenly alive to the
Importance OF providing properly
and adequately for our rapidly-grow-
ing population.
Mr.. Patterson and his colleagues
understand very we'll the import
ance of keeping as permanent resi-
dents a majority of the workmen
who will be attracted here shortly
by Government construction pro-
jects. They know that laboring
people will no longer work in a
town that does not provide them
with comfortable, attractive. health
full homes at reasonable rental.
Four walls no longer constitute
home. The American workman is
a self-respecting individual, and he
earns wages sufficient to provide for
his family the type of house they
can be proud to occupy, and such
as they are entitled to have. The
city which meets this demand at
tracts and holds workmen. The
labor turnover in such a town is
small and the economy of proper
housing in this item alone would
make such a movement as is con-
templated we'll worth while, from a
dollar-and-cent standpoint, to say
nothing Of the humanitarian side,
which is factor very properly re-
ceiving more thought now than ever
before.
The employment of an expert to
make survey and tell us what we
need as prelude to asking the
Government to assist in meeting con-
ditions which war and War Depart
ment developments hereabout have
brought forth is proper work for
the Chamber of Commerce. It was
sor just such community service
as this that it was organized. It's
leadership in the housing movement
should be of inestimable value.
