The provost marshal general can
supply all the men needed for the
United States army without invading
the deferred eiassincations. II Con-
gress enacts draft legislation now

officially at the office of the provost
marshal general last night
The desired legislation Is embodied
in the bills to provide for the regis

questionable system
Heuss Opposes.
Officials Of the War Department are
much concerned over the opposition in
the House to the new plan OF appor-
tioning the draft quotas on the class
1 basis. Failure OF the lower branch
OF Congress to act fayorably on this
bill was commented on. last night.
General Crowder's staR member
feels that this method OF raising an
army embodies the real principle of
seIeetive service. Lack OF familiarity
with the question involved was sug-
gested as the reason for the Congress
sional opposition.

the old system Of. basing tine quotas
on population, the nation was divided
into as many units as there are States.
But IL Is plain that the comnnunities
building ships and MISUNDERSTANDING war
munitions should not be called upon
to furnish as many fighting men as
the districts In: which no war work is
being carried on

It also was pointed out. that under
the, present plan, one local board
would supply its quotE and still have
numerous mem left in the frst class,
while the next board. perhaps in the
same section Of city, possibly would
be forced to go into the third and
fourth classes to furnish its quota
General croFder'st idea Is to ex-
haust the FIRST class before taking
men from the deferred classifications.
Reports now Indicate that there may
be as many as 1000. 900, men in the
ffrst class, and with the 1000, 900 men

represented in the State Senate by
Professional men; and while | am not
questioning their honesty or integrity
the great mass of Farmers have felt
that there should be change and
that this great body of farmers
should be represented by one of their
own members. That we should be
represented by one who would natur-

having been in closer touch with farm
events and from having his money
invested in a farm.

invariably you have told me that you
believe we should have a change and
am confident that you are in earnest
and that you will go to the polls and
vote for B. G.. Davis, "The Farm

years before we have another chance.

BAN IS BIGGEST
MAN in GAME
American League President
Has Increased Strength
by Recent Attitude

Tf there is reorganization of baseball
after the present season the man who Is
going to stand out as the strongest In
the game is Ban Johnson. 1t is true
that he was not supported by the club
owners in his stand to close down the
American League on August 90 But
that very fact is going to restore Ban to
his former place in the baseball sun.
Johnson's attitude was that the Gov
ernment gave the players until Septem-
ber l to find essential employment, and
that they should obey the mandate to
the letter. The American public is out
to win the war, and anything that is
done by man or group of men which
might be interpreted as a hindrance. to
the Governments plans or a disobedient
act will not be tolerated. Those men
are going to be shorn of their power IL
they have any.
That Is the situation in baseball to-
day. The owners of the American and
National Leagues who have decided to
continue the season until September
and then play worlds series are going
TO find that when the time of readjust-
ment comes they are going to be in the
minority, and the man, who in this case
is Ban johnson. who intellectually sup
ported the Government will rise TO the
top.
Johnson has always been autocratic in
his methods. But the results he has
obtained for baseball have fully Justified
his course of highhandedness. The ma
jority of baseball players and magnates
are alike in that they want everything
their own way. and are loath to be
ruled. Before John X. Tener went in as
president of the National League the
owners did have their way. They had
presidents in name only. The owners
were the real bosses and the presidents
mere figurehcads.
The result was that the American
League became far stronger than me
National in every way because it was
ruled by one man. Johnson did not at
tempt TO run the American League for
mere mercenary reasons. He tried and
did give the public the best that was to
be had in the way of sport. This the
public has appreciated and it's apprecia-
ton ultimately is going to place Ban
Johnson at the top, where he is likely to
remain as long as he cares to reign over
the national pastime.
The Phllies and Athletics are
scheduled to play again this afternoon.
The Mackmen will be at home to the
Washington club at Shibe Park. while
the Phils will be the guests of the Dodg-
ers at Ebbets Field, Flatbush.
