Hundreds of our boys were told at

enlarged may be seen in the fact that
$4,000 persons have been placed in po-

largest previously monthly record in
the history of the New York district

AS explained yesterday by officials
of the service this sudden expansion
was ordered to take the utmost advan-

Against Strikers
Purely Military Move
Nm Intention, He Says, to In

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Formal de-
NAL tAat Provost Marshal General
Crowder's work or fight" regulations
were promulgated with intentto affect
labor conditions was made to-day by
Secretary BakSr. They arc purely
military measures, the Secretary said,
designed to modify certain privileges
in the way Of deferred classification
in the draft now granted some regis
trants and are not intended as In In
direct conscription Of labor.
Explaining the effec of the regula-
ton In cases of unemployment due to
strikes, Secretary Baker said:
~The regulation is silent on that sub
ject. bat It is not the intention of the
department to permit the draft regula-
tons to be used to affect any such
labor controversy, and unemployment
By reason Of strikes will not be re-
garded in such way as will cancel
either exemption or deferred classifi-
cation
'The whole question Of the relation
of the government to labor Is for ad-
min;stration by the Labor Department.
and the War Department does not in
tend any direct interference in it."
II want to state in the most positive
way that this regulation has nothing
to do with the labor situation of tho
country, and it is no part of the inten-
ton Of the War Department, either in
this regulation or any other, to under
take to affect the labor situation of the
country by military regulation. The
sole purpose Of this order is to guide
exemption boards in their duty to ap-
ply the provisions of the law affecting
occupations as a reason for exemption
and deferred classification"
The shortage now existing in some
lines of industry, particularly the non
skilled branches, is expected to be ma
terially relieved when the regulations
become effective and men Of draft age

ment terms unnecessary lines of en-
deavor turn to essential work.

tains the validity of the Frankfurt
treaty, forgetting that Germany herself
tore it asunder, and pretends that the
cession of Alsace-Lorraine in 1871 is
still covered by international law.
I'm fact, the Frankfurt treaty does
not exist any more since the German
aggression. Germany destroyed this
treaty with her own hands, which had
recorded one of the grossest violations
Of the rights of peoples. After setting
aside the right of Alsace-Lorraine to

frankie Burns
Beats Herman
In asst Bout
Bantam Champion Out
pointed in Eight Rounds
at Jersey City
By Fred Hawthorne

Although he did not win the worldh
championship that has been his am
b'tion ever since he first drew on the
gloves, frankie Burns, the veteran ban
tamwelght of Jersey City. demonstrate
ed ms mastery over Pete Herman, Of
New Orleans, the title-holder, in the
star eight-round bout last night at the
Jersey City Baseball Park.
In every round, with the possible
exception Of the fifth, Burns had the
advantage over the little champion.
His left jab fecked the color into Her
mans face like the snap of whip, and
frankie followed these blows up with
hard right drives to the body. A crowd
of more than seven thousand persons
watched champion and challenger bat
tie, while light drizzle Of rain fell
upon them. The men slipped on the
wet canvas once or twice, but at no
time was either in danger Of knock
out.
Burns's weight was announced as 120
pounds. while Herman tipped the beam
at 119 on the hoof. Pop O'Brien, of
Philadelphia, was the third man in the
ring, and Joe Humphres-Joe of the
"silver voice"-did the elocutionary
work.
Burns was the first to jump between
the ropes. He got a notable reception
from his fellow citizens. Herman
wearing the cap and blouse Of an able
seaman and escorted by several husky
tars, followed. 1t was the third meet
ing between the little fellows and cx-
cltement ran high.
Burns began with rush that carried
Herman up against the ropes, and from
then until the final bell rang Frankie
carried the battle to his opponent. Her
man did his best work while the boys
were fighting breast to breast, but
Burns was in superb condition and his
speed had the champion bafled. The
fact that he was going only eight
rounds enabled frankie to maintain his
terrific pace, while Herman, who is es-
sentially a long-distance fighter, was
making a better showing in the last
round than in the first

Lannin Denies Rumor
OF Newark Club Transfe,

Joseph J. Lannin, one Of the principal
hackers of the new International
League, emphatically denied yesterday
that there was any intention of trans
ferrng the Newark club to any Cana
dian city or elsewhere.
"None Of the international clubs will
be transferred and all of them will
finish the playing season as scheduled"
said the former owner of the Boston
Red Sox yesterday. "The Newark club
and it's territorial rights will remain
intact and despite any rumors to the
contrary the new international League
will 60 through to the end Of the sea
son without any change in it's clubs

on last Monday. the Jersey City and

Misplays Help
Senators Beat
Huggiins' S Men
Russell Hit Hard, but Errors
Prove Life Savers for
National

WASHINGTON, July 3.--The New
York Yankees were in fumbling mood
this afternoon and the misplays count
cd heavily in their defeat at the hands
of Washington by score of 4 to 3.
Pratt, Miller and Hannah found trouble
in handling the ball perfectly and their
errors aided Washington in scoring as
many runs.
The Yankees got their three tallies
by hard hitting and it was unfortunate
that this smashing of the ball did not
bring its due reward. Allan Russell
held the mound for six innings, when the
Nationals pounded him from the box.
However, had Russell received proper
support from his mates he would have
weathered the nine innings, as he
.wirled in fair form. During the re
naming innings Mogridgc held the
local men hitless.
Ad Brennan, the former Philadelphia
twirler, began his first American
League game for Washington and
failed to work impressively. The
Yankees pounded him for seven hits
in four innings when he was excused
for a pinch hitter. The Yanks also hit
Shaw. who succeeded Brennan, freely,
but the visitors errors were the local
life savers.
Ray Starts Rally
RAY Caldwell started Yankee bat
ting rally with two down in the ninth.
second ard third base. Caldwell was
inserted as substitute batter for
Morridge and on the second ball
pitched doubled to right field. Shaw
did not like the aggressive attitude Of
Gilhooley and passed him. However,
Captain Peckinpaugh failed to fill his
role by flying out to Shanks.
Elmer Miller opened the game by
doubling to left while Peck sacrlflced
him up a base. However, Baker and
Pratt both were easy outs. Washing
count. After Shanks and Foster had
fled out, Judge tripled to right. Pratt
committed the first Yankee booble on
Milan's hit, which enabled Judge to
score.
Baker started the Yanks on their first
run in the fourth with a two Dagger to
left. Bode later singled, scoring the
Home Run King. Another New York
run came in the fifth on singles by
Hannah and Peck and HuSSellS SaCTl-
flee. Peck drove in the third Yankee
run in the seventh when Marsans
walked and Mogridge singled.
One Earned Run
The only earned Washington tally
came in the fifth inning on two singles
and an out. Washington scored the
tieing and winning runs in the sixth
when MillN allowed Lavan to take an
extra base when he fumbled his hit
and Hannah dropped Bodies perfect
