DEP PARTMENT OF
 LABOR NAMES
 DRAFT ADVISERS
Appointees to Advise Draft Boards What Registrants Are Industrially
 Necessary.

Hartford, Oct 7-Pursuant to the amendment to the selective service law passed by Congress on Aug. 31, 1918, which provided for the ap- pointment by the United States De- partment of Labor of industrial advis- CTS to district draft boards, the de- partment has announced the men who will serve in Connecticut They are Charles D. Rice of Hartford, divis- ion No. 1; James F. Donohue of Wat erbury. division No. 2, and Thomas M. Cullinan of Bridgeport, division No. B.. These industrial advisers are not members of the respective dis trict boards in any sense. They will advise the boards as to what draft registrants are industrially necessary to the successful prosecution of the war, with the view of keeping at home necessary men who want to ges into the army and of wedding out slackers who claim to be necessary. Employers seeking deferred classifi cation for employees should consult these advisers.
 Each district board Is also to have two other industrial advisers, one to be appointed by the board itself and one by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Industrial advisers appointed by the Department of Labor will also place before the district boards all facts and information in their pos session as to the preference lists fs- sued by the priorities division of the Federal War Industries Board. These lists will not be regarded as ex- | elusive. but as showing what indus | tries, plants and concerns have, as the result of the experience of the War | Industries Board, been found to be so pre-eminently necessary as to be entitled to priorities in raw mater | ials, fuel and transportation in the present emergency. Many occupa- l tions and employments such as those in plants and concerns whose re- quirements are relatively secondary 1 though still necessary for the conduct of the war, which may properly be l classified by the district boards as In the evening there will be a short street parade starting from The Strat- field to the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue, and then back to the armory where the band will render a concert.
 Major S. L. Glenister. Staff Corps, South African Mounted Irregular forces, a veteran of four wars, who is to speak for the Liberty Loan this afternoon and this evening, arrived in Bridgeport this morning.
 Major Glenister is the only South
 
 the present time. During the presert war he has fought against the Ger mans in German South Africa ano later against the Tuetonic forces ir MesopOtamia. On the occasion of the entry of the British forces into tht ancient city of Bagdad, he was SC verely wounded which resulted in tht loss of an arm. Before the presen struggle he fought in Matabeleland, 1T the Boar war and In 1912 he fough in the Balkan war. By a curious coincidence most of his fighting in tn, present war was against Turkisl forces, and the major said today tha they have waged a fair and honora ble war, even if 1t were in the wron! cause.
