der from the woolenS section of the
war industries board stopping the
manufacture Of woolcn or worstcd
hand knitting yarns. and calling for
reports rs to stock held by the manu-
facturerS. and wholesale and retail
merchants.
The Red Cross Is buying up these
stocks at nominal profit to the hold
ers for use in rs war work. A much
greater supply IS required and the
Red Cross vii. take up stocks of yarn
suitable in quality and quantity as
rapidly as they are offered
Large manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers reported their stocks on
hand promptly, but many small mer-
chants throughout the country have
tailed to report to the woolcnS section,
and reports have been received they
are continuing to sell to their custom
erS. The war industries board has no
desire to pcnalize those who have re-
ported their stocks of yarn for the
dement, or those who have not so re-
ported. and asks for immediate replies
from those who hold unreported stocks
OF hand knitting yarns and compliance
with the original order of the board

LOCAL AND DISTRICT DRAFT
BOARDS TO BE ENLARGED

Washington.-As an additional step
IN speeding up the draft organizations
IN the effort to induct into military
service in October men who register.
Provost Marshal General Crowder is
planning to enlarge local and district
boards wherever necessary.
Announcement was made that Gen
eral Crowder had telegraphed draft
executives in all states asking If an
increase would hasten their operation
Boards already have been authoriz.
ed to use additional registrars.
Employers or dependents OF regis.
tered men who for patriotic reasons
may object to entering a claim for de-
ferred classification on the ground of
dependency or occupation, will expe.
dite proceedings and prevent injus-
tice by making the exemption claims
for the men, it was said at the provost
marshal generals office
Local boards will find their duties
more implicated If registrants en-
titled to exemption do not claim it or
some interested person does not make
the claim in their behalf.
