SOCIAL EDUCATION
FOR ALL PROPOSED

CHICAGO. Jan. 26.-Compulsory edu-
cation along social lines Of all men and
women between the ages OF is and 20
years. carried out in much the same
way the National Army Is being trained,
was urged by Dr. John Dewey, OF Co
lumhia University. New York, in an ad-
dress last night before the Vocational
Education Society OF the Middle West,
II convention here.
Dr. Dewey suggested that after the
war the National Army cantonments be
used as great centralized schools where
men and women would be compelled TO
study all branches Of vocational educa-
ton together with military training,
and that the teachers be trained In
special schools similar 90 the officers
reserve training camps.
"Such a plan would revOlutionize the
present social system" he said. While
thu strong men were taking military
training the physical weaklings could be
trained In other lines II also would
provide training for women, who are
completely left out OF universal military
training plans.
"Our present system Of education is
inefficient and in planning universal milf
tary training we must plan for universal
educational training"

WE'D SLACKERS ARE
FIRST IN Draft
N. Y. Board Refuses TO Re-
gard Marriages Since
Passage of Act
ONLY REJECTS
TO BE EXEMPT

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-The District
Draft Appeals Board. OF which Charles
E. Hughes is chairman, established
yesterday definitely and finally the
status OF al registrants who have mar
rled since the enactment Of the con-
scription law.
BY a unanimous vote after extended
debate the board ruled that no mar
riarc contracted since May 49, 1917,
shall be regarded as entitling a con-
scriptable man TO deferred classlfca-
tiOn under the QUESTIONABLE system
unless it be shown that the man WAS
justified in believing that he was no
longer subject to the draft when he en-
tered the bonds.
This Is explained by the board mem
bers TO mean that where a registrant
has been called 10 the first draft and
found 10 be physically disqualified or
has received a certificate Of exemption
or discharge on other than industrial
grounds prior 10 his marriage ne
should receive the same classification
that would be accorded him had his
marriage taken place prior 10 May 49,.
This would not apply, however. In a
case pending an appeal with the dis
trct board.
Men who between May is. and De-
cember 10 endcavored In good faith TO
enlist IN either the army or navy and
were rejected for physical reasons, or
registrants who were sent to camp
under the first draft and there dis
charged from military service by the
authorities also Will be considered as
having been Justified in contracting
marriage
An opinion written for the board by
several Of its distinguished members
explains that uniformity In the appli-
cation Of the regulations is necessary
to prevent charges OF favoritism.
III some registrants married since
May rs, 1917, escape the draft on the
ground OF such marriage and other do
not the opinion explains, the basis
Of the distinction should be under
stood Uniformity can only be secured
by adopting some standard principle OF
decision
The opinion takes the ground that
the passage OF the selective service act
made military service the paramount
obligation resting upon all men OF the
draft age All registrants knew this
and those who later married. then
claimed exemption, by such claim
created the plain presumption" that
/ It was a Stacker marriage. An engage
ment existing prior TO May IS or even
/ arrangements made for the wedding dC
not rebut the presumption.

BY rho United Press.

BY 9he United Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Drastlc re-
strlct,ons upon the American kitchen
will be President Wilson's answer to a
new starvation cry from Europe
The food administration has deter
mined upon sharp curtallment Of this
country's wheat consumption that iOO,-
OOO,OOO bushels may be supplied the
Allies. President Wilson tonight viii
issue a proclamation calling for great
er sacrifices.
War bread containing only 70 per
cent. wheat flour, a wheatless meal
daily, two wheatless days week and
regular meatless and porkless days
will probably be asked AZ least a 30
per cent. reduction in wheat consump-
ton Will be asked by the food admin
istration. The Allies have been prom
ised 30 per cent. OF the flour output
this year Wholesalers, bakers and re-
tailers will be permitted to purchase
only part, probably about 10 per cent.
of their normal requirements In
white flour. This Will throw the whole
country on 20 per cent. wheat ra-
tion. Bran. barley and corn substitutes
Will be urged by the food administra-
tion.
Such steps as those expected can be
only partially enforced by the Food
Administration pending passage Of bills
now IN Congress. but its power Of H.
censing the Food Administration can re-
duce consumption Of flour to the extent
desired. 70 is expected, however, that
compusiOn will not be required. Real
ization Of the pressing neels OF starry
ing Europe is expected 20 be sufficient
spur TO patriotic consumers who, it is
believed. will bear the additional sacri-
fees without complaint
Food Is rapidly growing more scarce
in Europe Lord Iihondda, British
food controller. declared in a message
TO Herbert Hoover that unless he re-
ceived at lest 75,o0000O bushels Of
wheat in addition to what had arcady
been exported mp 10 January 4. hc could
not promise sufficient food TO win the
war. In addition 20 this, Hoover de-
clarcd that i5.WOO0O bushels must be
provided for Belgium and iOOOO,OG
for Cuba and other smaller nations
Rigid reduction OF 30 per cent. in con-
sumption Of this years crop Is de-
mandcd by the food administration.
Reduction OF beef and pork consump-
tion is also imperative the food admin
istratiOn declares. An average OF 10
100000 pounds Of beef per month from
us is expected by the Allies. Reduction
in pork consumption Of 20 per cent. &:
needed TO supply pork. Ten per cent
