GERMAN NETTLE FIBERS
SAID TO EXCEL COTTON

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, March
12.-Nettle fibre as a substitute for
other textile material seems to have
come to stay in Germany. The gov
ernment bureau entrusted with the
''nettle exploitation" in a circular
eulogizes the grammar school of Lans-
berg, the pupils of which collected a
large amount of nettle stalks, and says
''if every school in Germany did the
same, we should be easily able to dis
pense with American cotton" The
government circular at the same time
urges all towsn and communes in
Germany to plant nettles as process
ses have now been perfected to such
degree that the finished article not
only replaces but excells cotton"

FRANCE ALREADY PLANS
FOR POSTWAR ACTIVITY

PARIS, March 12.-The damaged in
dustries and the upheaved and eX-
hausted farm lands of France. it is
thought now, may be restored to their
full productive capacity within five
years after the conclusion of peace.
with the exception of denuded forests
and the most gravely wasted land in
the immediate proximity of the lines
where the front has been practically
stationary for more than three years.
These are some of the elements upon
which they count to make up for what
France will have lost: Continued and
developed use of female labor in indus
tries; entrance of youths into active
business and industry at an earlier
age; greater activity and consequent
greater productive capacity of all cate
gories of workers; and an enormous
extension of the use of modern labor
saving equipment in the factory and
on the farm.
The development of water power
will contribute immensely to fill the
void in industrial facilities while five
years recruits of boys coming to age
for active participation in the coun-
try's affairs is expected to replace at
least third of the wastage in human
material.

OUESTIONNAIRES
ARE SENT OUT
THEN RECALLED

Acting upon Instructions from Gov
ernOr Strong the local exemption board
mailed thirty-four questionnaires to
those registered here for selective
draft. but another telegram received
held up this working, pending the re-
ceipt of further Instructions by mail
from Juneau.
At least five per cent of the ques-
tionnaires are required to be sent out
each day. Seven days from the time
the questiOnnaire is issued is the time
given to fill out and return the docu-
ment and by the looks of all the blank
forms it may take some of the regis
trants at least a week to answer all
the questions. There are altogether
one hundred and fOrty-four questions
that cover every possible phase of a
mans career, also including his physi-
cal fitnes sand his temperamental oc-
equations. Twelve series of questions
appear together with five supporting
affidavits that may be filled in where
exemptions are claimed.
The questionnaires contain sixteen
pages Of printing and the pages are
twelve by nine inches in size. The
United States mails will have occas-
ion to feel heavily burdened as these
blanks are placed in transit.
About As men will be required from
the first draft in Cordova, but il VIII
require some time yet before the final
drawing is made The questionnaires
will be classified as soon as they are
received. 1t is estimated that twelve
have already enlisted from here which
will reduce the number of men to be
drafted. Also included among the
registrants from Cordova are many
from Katalla, Kennecott and neigh
boring places. which are likely to re-
duce the actual number of Cordova
men drafted to about twenty.
The master list lately published
VIII remain TO be the order number
of each registrant but before the or
der in which they are drafted is set
tied it is necessary to await the re-
turns of the questionnaires and then
the men will be called in order of
their classification together with the
order number, So the publishing Of
the order number merely has the eff
feet to notify each registrant his num-
erical draft number>and not the final
draft order,
1t is thought that the final step T.
the first draft will not be taken until
late in June as it will take that long
to rearrange the positions of the men
after the return of the questionnaires, |
which will be especially slow coming
from the interior.
