LUBBOCK SCHOOL STARTS
OFF IN GOOD SHAPE

The Lubbock schools started off
in good shape Monday There was a
large attendance Of the patrons Of
the school present at the opening. aud
the number Of pupils there would
indicate that the attendance this year
viii equal that of last. Up to this
time the total enrolment is not avail
able. as the various departments
have not tabulated he enrolment.
The splendid new equipment
in the new grammar school building
in the south part Of town will elm
mate the very greatly crowded con-
ditions which existed in the school
here last year. and will give the pu.
pills a chance to do much better work.
We believe that Lubbock viii have
even better school this year than
we ever have had. and our school has
for many years been in the lead.

YOUTHS 10 TO 20 AND MEN
ACCORDING STATEMENT PROVOST MARSHAL
QUEsT|ONAIRES WILL Be MAILED OUT IMMEDATELY
First Call From the New Draft VIII Very Likely Be
That The Army May Have Reached The Desired Strength
A Soon As Possible

Washington, Sept 10.--Youths Of
10 to 20 years and men between the
ages Of 80 and SO inclusive viii be

General Crowder announced today.

fighting material in their ranks has
been exhausted older men viii not
be inductei into service, Question
naires will 60 to these registrants
first and boards have been ordered
TO proceed so that some may be cal
led in October.
General Crowder in a statement
to all employees and industrial rep
resentatives asked their aid in ap-
plying the plans of industrial defer
ments so that "the maintenance Of
the military esta ablishment or Of the
national interest during the emer-
gency" may not be interfered with
General Crowder had said the war
department could expect to draw
from the classes above 81 only 60l,-
900 men physically fit for service
and not entitled to deferred classi-
fication He also said men Of l9
to 20 called were entitled to admis-
sion to the student training corps
at the 400 secondary schools with
which the war department has
made contracts, but added that this
corps would number 10000 men,
while over 100000 youths below
2l will register Thursday
Methods Of selecting those to be
inducted into military service and
educational training corps, he said,
were the concern of other branches
of the administration.
"Some one must indicate that the
individual case is one which should
arrest the special attention OF the
boards in respect to the registrant's
status" said General
Crowder in his statement. The
boards do not possess a superhuman
Nor are they permit
ted by circumstances TO devote un-
limited time TO the search of cues
tionnaires for possible grounds Of
claim. In 1917 out of more than
8 100000 registrants called, only

Last week, Claude C. Peek recciv-
ed word Of the death Of his brother,
Sterling NJ Peek. in France The
date Of his death was given by the
Government as July 25th Mr. Peek
was a member Of Ambulance corps
and il was while on duty in that de-
partment that he paid the supreme
sacrifice, Of giving his life for the
defense Of his country.
Mr.. Peek was born December lS.
1898. He worked in Lubbock for a
number Of months and was an en-
ployee Of the Avalanche for a time
He went from Lubbock TO Austin and
entered the State University md it
was while attending the University
that he enlisted in the governments

ing some time in July 1917, and in
April he was transferred to France
and had been serving in the Ambu-
lance corps since that time
The following letter written to his

TROOP SHIP is TOR
PEDOED BY SUBMARINE

Washington. Sept, l1.-News Of
the torpedoing Of the British liner
Persic, with $500 American troops
on board, in the war zone, Septem-
Der 6, was given to the American
people today. first through the Brit
ish admiralty and then later through
the navy department. All the sol
ders were rescued by accompanying
destroyers, the steamer itself was
beached and the enemy submarine Is
believed to have been accounted for.
Officials here viewed the result as
an allied success more than a dis
aster. The fact that the steamer
was torpedoed when endeavoring to
overtake the conveyed fleet of trans
ports after overcoming engine trou-
bic indicated that submarine COM
manders still are fearful Of attack
ing troop ships in convoy. And the
immediate and completely successful
assistance rendered by the destroyers
was taken as additional evidence that
the conveying system is practically
perfect.

registrants raised no QUESTIONABLE
Of such deferment.
THE boards will do all that .hey
possibly can, on their own in:tia-
tive TO reach a just decision by a
complete examination Of the ques-
tionnaires even where no claim s
expressly made.
Boards Win Need Aid
Nevertheless the boards win
welcome and will need all the aid
that can be furnished by the indica-
ton Of claim made for defer
ment
But who is to make that claim.
Ordinarily the registrant himself
will indicate the claim on his ques-
tionnaire. But if through mistaken
chivalry he should fail to do so,
another may make il for him. In
industry, agriculture, or other occu-
pations this other person will nat
urally be his employer or some other
representative Of his associated
group.
"The employer in this system rep
resents the nation because in sta
tutory phrase the maintenance Of
the military establishment or of the
national interests during the emer-
gency requires that same well-ad-
vsed third person should look after
that national interest which the
registrant himself may not have snf-
iciently considered"
General Crowder then asks EN-
ployers TO study their plants and in
dustries, to single out really indis-
pensible individuals and to study
the conditions of deferment as pro-
vided in the regulations, mentioning
the possibility of trimming substi-
tutes and the availability Of women
workers" He discussed the figures
Of the last draft and said that the
number of class one registrants un-
der it amounted TO only six per cent
of the industrial population
Ccssations Of enlistments, he said.
will protect industry against irregu-
lar and uncomfortable sources of
arrangement and throw more re-
sponsibility upon the draft machin-
cry, and he asked employers and in
dustrial representatives to share the
responsibility with the boards.
