New Draft Regulations.

Madison, Jan 16.-The new draft
regulation which enables engineering
students to enlist in the engineering
branch of the reserve corps and TO con-
tinue their studies until called to serv-
ice is further explained by notice
just received by the University of Wis
eonsin from the committee on engin-
eering and education of the advisory
commission of the council of national
defense. president Wilson and Sec
rotary Baker have urged that it is the
patriotic duty of all students in engin-
eering colleges to stay in school If pos
sible until actually called to the col
ors," the notice declares. "The war
department recognizes that technically
trained men are essential to all army
operations and intends to detail draft
men who have taken engineering
courses to the type of service for which
their training bests fits them. The reg
ulations permit high grade work at an
engineering school to be CLASSIFIED as
a branch of military service to the
United States. The honor of enlist
ment in the enlisted reserve corps of
the engineer department is extended to
all engineering students who, in the
opinion Of their faculties, are reason
ably certain to become successful en-
gineers. The proportion of the stu
dents to whom this privilege is grant
ed is not fixed, but Rust be deter
mined by each school on the basis of
it's experience and in accordance with
it's best judgment"

LAST RETURNS on THURSDAY
Long Lists of DelinQuents Being Turned
Over to Police and Sheriff Today and
Search for Missing Men Is Being
Made All Over the County.

The long, long trail of the local ex
emption Boards for the classification of
all men subject to military duty was
growing shorter today and majority
of the men in both the city and county
have been classified by the members of
the two boards. Next Thursday is the
last day for the return of the question
naires and it is thought that within ten
days after the last of the blanks has
been returned the local boards will have
forwarded to the District Board the
result of their work and the District
Board will be ready to start hearing
appeals for deferred classification. A
few Of these appeals have already been
made. The lists of delinquents came in
regularly today. The County Board
held that with the resumption of train
service and that with the opening of
the roads the Sheriff could get busy
again. The following lists of delin-

O'NEIL TO BACK
SENATOR SPROUL
Statement by Highway Com
missioner on His Attitude
in Regard to Liquor

Highway Commissioner ]. Denny
O'Neil last night issued a statement
in which he declared that he would
support Senator William C. Sproul
for Governor and ask his friends to
do likewise because the Senator is
for ratification of the prohibition
amendment.
The O'Neil statement is also an
exposition of the views of the Com
missioner on the liquor traffic, which
he raps good and hard.
Mr.. O'Neil says:
Social and economic revolutions
never move backward. The sue
| cess or failure of an individual is
immaterial. We are making pro-
gress in Pennsylvania and the end
is not yet. The paramount question
now confronting us is how to win
the war 1t is up to the American
soldiers to win; if they fail, civiliza-
| ton falls. Wartime prohibition is
absolutely necessary in order to win
and any one who opposes any move
that will help win the war should
be branded as a traitor. To win the
war, we must conserve food, fuel,
labor, money and tonnage now used
by the liquor industry. We must
promote efficiency in mine and mill.
| We cannot have one hundred per
cent. efficiency unless we abolish
drink. My object in running for
governor was to make National pro-
hibition an issue and to make this
state dry in 1919. I had no under
standing or no agreement with any
| faction for support and I made no
deals during the campaign. Three
Republican candidates and one of
the Democratic candidates made
open declaration in favor of ratifica-
tion of the Constitutional amend
ment providing for prohibition and
| for the first time in the history OF
Pennsylvania prohibition was a real
