c. s. Thompson, Like His Navy League Namesake, Is
 Still Trying to Explain

New York, January 29.-John C.. Knox, assistant United States nttor- ney, announced today thnt war sos- sip had reached point where the de- pertinent of justice deemed it its duty to deal promptly with aiI baseless ru- urors nnd thcsf who spread them.
 He made the announcement after a federal grand jury for three hours had questioned c. S. Thompson, former orr rinizer of the American Defense so- ciety, who recently made statements that IA spies hnd been shot in this country and that two ships carrying small arms ammunition for the Ger mnns had cleared from the port Of New York. Both of these assertions the government denied.
 eff citizen thinks he has impor- tnm information bearing on the war; said MT. Knox. "the place to report is to the government, not in restaurants or saloons or railway cars. The de- par tment of justice and the adminfs- tration have had enough of these ru- mors. They weaken the governments hand, they undermine public confi- dence and they spread fear and mis- giving in the hearts of thousands of parents whose sons are with the coll OTIS.
 "It will be difficult, of course, to determine just where honest, construc- tive criticism ends and malicious gos- sin begins, but in the case of Mir. Thompson the Issues seem well de- fined and the grand jury will be asked fo reuorfa jta flnding.v

The secretary made clear today ms opinion that if events made it neces- sary to call more than another incre- ment of 500,000 men. the executives au- thority to draft men for fighting units other than reserves would be exhausted would be necessary. He said, however, that under the authority to call two in crements of line soldiers of 5O0,000 each and such additional numbers for re- cruit battalions and special units "as the President may deem necessary" the second draft might bring out in all as many as 100000 men.
 The Senate committee today tentative ly approved legislation proposed by the war department to provide for the reg istration of youths attaining the age of 2l years since June 5, authorizing the fixing of quotas on the basis of class of the new classification and empower ing the President to call men needed for vost Marshal General Crowder, appear ing to explain the piis, toio the coiniiil' tee it was proposed to hold new draw ing to establish the order of liability of the new registrants. When the new men have been given their serial numbers their names will be inserted in the classes to which they may be assigned, according to plan being worked out.
 It is assumedt General Crowder said. that most of the new registrants will fall into class 1, giving that class this year a total of some 100000 men. From class I it is proposed to take the next and any future drafts.

Another Lie Nailed

Washington, January 29.--The govern ment censorship board voted today to call the attention of the federal grand jury at New York to published report that documentary evidence revealing the working of the German spy system had been stolen from the postal censorship office in New York with view of ob- taining an indictment against the author of this criminal libel" A resolution made public by the board says no pa- pers whatever were stolen from the New York office, and that the report was without the slightest base in truth. A copy of the resolution, which tenders the services of members of the board as wit nesses, was ordered sent to the district attorney at New York.
