ing the Borland eight-hour matter,
has this to say:
"The eight-hour amendment is un-
necessary because the heads of de-
partments already have authority to
extend the hours OF labor beyond
seven, and that, too, without extra
pay. (Act of March is, 1885, 80
Stat. S16, sec. ~ In the case Of
some offices and individuals the
hours are occasionally extended If
further extension were necessary ct
advisable, such extension would be
made, as the heads Of departments
are deeply interested in not allow

Mr.. Carr has decided to try out a

to Manhattan each day; the first one
leaving this city at z or 1915 o'clock
and the second trip at IL o'clock

and a round trip fare of from fifty to
seventy cents.
The boat will also carry ex-

Draft Board Has Not Received
Supply for Newest Regis
trants as Yet

Now that the registration of men
from eighteen to forty-five years mas
been completed the next step Is the
sending out of questionnaires to
those In the nineteen and twenty
year classes and those from thirty
one to thirty-six.
No missionaries have been re-
ceived as yet by the local draft board
and word has been received from
Adjutant General Frederick Gilkyson
instructing them to give out no ques-
tionnaires until instructions are re-
ceived to do SO.
The draft board has received a
copy of the first page of the new
QUESTIONABLE and a page containing
the key list to occupations, but that
is all. no complete new QUESTIONABLE
having come into its hands as yet.
The new questionnaires have more
questions which must be answered
than either of those used at the two
former big registrations. Although
II was expected that no man would
be required to ask exemption II he
wished 1t but allow the government
TO decide from his answers to the
other questions. one part of the ques-
tionnaire asks the registrant whether
or not he claims exemption and on
what grounds.
Because OF the hesitancy on the
part OF some married men to claim
exemption even though they could
not very well leave their families,
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has urged all men who have claims
for exemption TO do so as otherwise
another problem viii face the gov
ernment-that of caring for the de-
pendents at home and filling import
ant positions in essential industries.
A few more registration cards of
Perth Amboy men who were in other
cities on Thursday have been re-
cefved, boosting the total TO more
than $3.50. the number announced
yesterday.

AMERICAN ARMIES IN LOR-
RAINE, Friday, Sept. 1s:-The civil
ian population, almost wholly femi-
nine because of the forcible removal
of practically every male OF military
age, welcomed Newton d. Baker. the
American Secretary of War, and Gen
erals Pershing and Petain when they
visited st. Mihiei a few hours after 1t
was captured. The village, in effest.
was their official host, but in reality
they were the guests of women ard
children.
Aged women and girls crowded
about Secretary Baker and the two
generals accompanying him to ex-
press their thanks and pay homage
to their deliverers. II was not mere
ly curiosity; II was an emotional out
burst following almost three years Of
the conqueror's suppression.

The importance attached 10 this

by the fact that Gen. Pershing, him

that Gen. Petain. French commands

A movement is now on foot to erect
] two guns, two or more searchlights
and barracks large enough to hold
| 100 men ON the city owned strip,
known as the Hayes Park tract, along
the Raritan river. The United States
Army has been making an investiga-
ton of the various sites along the
Raritan river and the matter was up
for discussion before the Board of
Aldermen at their committee session
last night.
Three u. s. Army lieutenants visit
ed Mayor John 4. TenBroeck yester-
day afternoon concerning this matteo
in order TO secure his permission for
the erection of the guns and search

ing the conference between the offi-
GERS and Mayor TenBroeck the matter
was brought before the attention of
the Aldermen at their committee ses-
sior and definite action will probably
be taken at the regular meeting of the
Board on Monday night.
1t has been impossible as yet TO
learn any details concerning the pro-
posed erection of the guns or the
barracks. The army officers have de-
clined TO state the size of the guns
and there has been a great deal of
secrecy attached to the negotiations.

ing on maps showing the location of
the guns for several days and are

The building of a barracks which
will accommodate 100 men and the
erection OF the two guns and search
lights will transform the Hayes tract
into a small cantonment.
The fact that a u. s. Army bar

limits may result in action being
