men OF 81 To 45
FACE JOB TESTS

Washington, d. c., Aug 1s.-The
man between the ages or 81 and As

about his job:
Is 1t necessary TO the maintenance
or operation OF the military establish
ment?
Is 1t vital to the maintenance of the
national interests?
Your job soon will undergo the acid
test to determine whether you viii Be
called into military service by the ex-
tension of the fighting ages proposed
by the new man-power bill.
The amendment would give much
broader powers to district boards in
granting deferred classification on
grounds of being engaged in work
necessary to the war. The law at pres
ent affects persons engaged in indus
tries, including agriculture. etc" II
amended as planned, 1t will affect
persons engaged in occupations or
employments, etc"
A man Of selecttve service age may
be entitled to temporary exemption,
outside of dependency, though he is
neither farmer nor an industrial
worker. His employment may be
otherwise construed as necessary to
the maintenance OF the national inter-
ests.'' Precedents will have to be Sc.
and the rulings of one district board
will guide others.
Washington feels that some boards
were over strict in deciding grounds of
deferred classification after the first
registration, and in the new calls con-
templated, Provost Marshal Crowder
estimates there will be more than a
half million men older than 81 to come
under the heading of ''other defer
ments,'' which is exclusive of the class
ifications given agriculture and indus
trial workers.

HOW TO SEND RELIEF
TO WAR PRISONER s

The division of allied prisoners on
war, of the Bureau of Prison Relief Of
the American Red Cross, at national
headquarters, has prepared a transla-
ton in Italian, describing in detail
the proper method of sending relief to
italian prisoners of war in Austria
and Germany as the conditions prevail
ing among the Italian prisoners of

not seem possible to inform the Amer
lean families interested in these I'M
fortunate men in any general way.
Guy E. Snavely, director of the
bureau of development, southern d.
vision of the American Red Cross, has
sent a copy of these Italian regula-
tions to the Pensacola chapter, with
request that this information be gi"cn
out to any families interested. Those
who wish to see these regulations, may
do so by calling at Red Cross head
quarters and asking for the secretary,
Miss Ginsberg. who win be glad to
furnish them the desired information.

SCIENCE ROUTS
DISEASE IN ARMY

Washington, D. c., Aug. 16.-Sctence
is making war much more safe so
far as disease is concerned.
In old days more men died from
disease than from battle. Science
has now cut down deaths by disease
to point where they are almost iden-
teal with deaths in battle.
Figures collected by the statistical
branch of the war department show
that during the first ten months OF
our participation in the war there was
an exact parity between battle NOR
tally and disease mortality in the
army abroad. During the Spanish
war the proportion was IS deaths by
disease to 33 in battle. and during the
Mexican war there were 10 deaths by
disease to Is In battle.
Camp sanitation has been the big
achievement. but the large problem
now being worked on is trench SAM
tation. Lice are more terrible en-
envy than the Germans. not because
they make the victims uncomfortable.
but because they convey fever and dis
ease.
General Gorgas has Just concluded
some experiments made possible by
the voluntary services Of sixty United
States privates, who offered them
selves to De bltteH Dy nee ana SUI
jected to other treatment to determine
whether the lice are carriers OF what
is known as trench fever
Many OF the men We're made des-
perately i'll and a few died. but the in-
formation was secured and the theory
verified that the lice are in fact car
riers of diseases. Now one OF the
problems of the trenches is to keep
well-bathed in kerosene and other anti
lice ointments.
