in Middle Tennessee, where, owing to
the enormous governmental undo
takings at Hadley's Bend and Shelf

Never in history have the farmers mad
to grapple with such situation at
harvest time, but they have bravs,y
and. resolutely undertaken the seem
ingly impossible. and how well they
have succeeded is shown by the eno'-
nous acreage Of small grains that has
been cut and shocked. The problem
for thresher hands is going to be an
other serious one

TO DRAFT WOMEN
Military Registration Plan
Now Before President
for Consideration
AIM TO UTILIZE
WORKING POWER
tween the Ages of 10 and 5O-Would
Affect Many Persons Not Actively
Employed at Present

WASHINGTON, April 24-The mill
tary registration of all women as well
as all men between the ages of IS and
so may be provided for in new draft
which is in the hands of President
Wilson for consideration.
Primarily the proposition is aimed
to utilize the full working power OF
the country from an industrial stand
point toward winning the war. In
effect if adopted by the government it
would bring about complete change
in the labor and industrial policy fol-
lowed since the war began.
A measure which provided for regis
tration of all men between these ages
was put forward recently by Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson. After consideration by
the provost marshal general S office and
the general staff of the war depart
ment it was sent to President Wilson.
It's chief benefit would be in minimiz-
ing the injurious effect on industry and
production through the draft of l,000,-

military service.
Through classification by means of
missionaries, the war department
would be in position to assign men not
needed in military service to indus
tries where their efforts would count
most III winning the war.
The antagonism which it is believed
would arise in the ranks of organized
labor to legislation of this kind has
resulted in the suggestion that both
men and women be included in regis
tration, and that the government as
certain TO what extent factory and 9th
err work can be turned over to women
Through this means the full military
strength of the country would be-
known in a precise way by the wal
department officials.
Neither the President nor members
of the cabinet have expressed opinions
on the matter The threads which tht
next draft is expected to make among
industrial workers is causing seriou:
concern both in administrative circle.
and the special war boards and com
: missions. The first effect Of mllitar,
