MEN 10 TO As
MAY Be CALLED
FOR WAR DUTY
PROVOST MARSHAL CROWDER
SUBMITS PLAN PROVIDING FOR
THE REGISTRATION OF EVERY
r.B0l}ED CITIZEN.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.--
a plan for a more complete mobiliza-
ton of American mana power which
has been under consideration by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder for
some time, has been submitted to the
president through the general staff of
the army. The movement which con-
templates the registering of several
additional millions of men, has re-
ceived impetus from the earnestness
of the calls from our Allies for more
help.
The plan, briefly, is to secure Iegi5-
ls ton that will authorize the enroll
ment of all men between eighteen and
forty-five or fifty. years of age, and
make them available for whatever
purposes the government finds neces-
sary in order to prosecute in the most
efficient manner it's war program. It's
plan is so far-reaching and so radical
that it is certain to encounter a de-
gree of opposition, both in congress
and elsewhere, but it is felt that events
are shaping themselves rapidly in it's
favor.
While the younger men would be
available for military purposes, ne
older men in lesser essential industries
wcrld be made available for essential
war industries Men who are perform
ing work of nature that can be done
by women would have the choice OF
work more suitable to their physic or
being drafted into the military service.
The idler and the Stacker would re-
ceive scant consideration. Wherever
rnen are found who are known to be
loafers they would be either put to
work or glazed in the army.
AS it is many skilled men are being
called to the colors because of the de-
n,and for specialists in various lines,
This is making heavy drain on the
r,an-power of essential industries and
it is felt that some steps to replenish
the labor supply must be taken o"
there will be a severe shortage Of
skilled workers.
Men in harmful occupations and
clerks in dry goods stores would be
diverted into other channels. The
harmful occupations would be left to
shift for themselves, while the NAL
selling ribbons would be replaced by
women workers. At a time when
women abroad are being forced into
the most severe work ordinarily done
by male labor, it is felt it is not too
much to compel the men of the
colors while an idler by chance or
receiving a higher number in the draft
is allowed to walk the streets. The
determining factor would be the SER
vice which the drafted man is per
forming at home.
The proposal may bring opposition
from organized labor, but it is pointed
out that it is certain to bring eco
romic advantages so that the pos
sibility of a decreased wage would be
more than offset by the cheapening OF
the cost of living.

MANY ATTEND
MEMORIAL FOR
CAPT. FALC0NER
St. Georges Crowded Sunday
Afternoon in Honor of
Bismarck Soldier

st. Georges church was crowded at
the vesper hour Sunday afternoon
when a special memorial service was
held for Capt Addison Bentley Fal'
coner, a member Of the parish from
early boyhood who died at Brest,
France, on October 90. All classes and
creeds were represented in the con
gregation. which was made up OF
members OF the church, friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs. William A. Falconer
and of the soldier in whose memory
the service was held.
The church was beautifully decor
ated with large flags ]Jf America and
her allies The altar was banked with
flowers. Hymns appropriate to the &C.
casion were sung by the choir, and
Miss Bergliot Caspary sang as SOLO
my Dream of Paradise
The memorial address was made by
the rector, Rev. George BuZZelle. He
made it a memorial not alone for Capt.
talconer. but to all the brave boys
who have fought and fell that democ-
racy and liberty and justice might
live. He selected his text from Mat
thew. which told how the saviour Sc
lected from among his twelve apostles
three to accompany him into the gar
den OF Gethsemanee for the last ira
vail He iikened all Of our soldiers
10 these chosen ones. He likened the
dominion which Germany so cunning
ly established over a large portion OF
The world 10 the forces OF evil "hich
we're arrayed against Christ that mo-
mentous evening in Gethsemance.
Each. he declared, has unconsciouSly
been chosen and prepared for his
task aven as Christ selected and train
ed his twelve apostles.
Rev. Blzzelle expressed the cOnVlc'
ton that we here at home VINO could
not be among the chosen will no per-
init the sacrifice Of the boys VINO Tic
in French soil to have been in vain,
but that we will carry on. The heroes
who have made the supreme sacrl'
flee have left us two legacies, he de'
clared, one of pride and love and de'
yotion and another OF service. TO ful'
fill the last we must take up the task
whe erthey laid it down, else they
will have died in vain.
The rector's address was more than
a. memorial sermon. 1t was broad
patriotic appeal to all Americans TO
keep up the good work, to carry on
and to keep alive the spirit or the
crusaders which led out boys to an
swer the call and to offer their all on
the affairs of liberty.
