They had a mutual agreement, she said. that their letters should be un- signed and destroyed as soon as read
 Miss LusS also admitted that she had Tied" in several statements made in unmailed letters 10 Mrs Roberts regarding her intimacy with the doc tor.

New York, May 1I.-Pa. ma and
the children will soon brave rainy
days without rubbers, arctics or
boots.
A complete cessation of the manu-
facture of rubber footwear for some
time for civilian purposes is seen in
the announcement that manufacturers
of.the goods have made an agree
ment with the war department that
they will supply their entire output
to the government.
The war department is so urgent
in its desire for-quick deliveries that
it has nullified the agreements for
certain fixed quantities each month
and pending contracts will be rushed
to completion without any regard to
monthly specified deliveries.
All the important rubber concerns
in the country are affected and will
devote practically their entire atten-
ton for many weeks to the delivery
of millions of pairs of rubber boots
and other articles of footwear for the
men at the front.

Railway Station Men Protest Wage
Award.

Washington. D. c., May 1I.-The
first formal protest against the rec
concentrations OF the Railway Wage
Commission was filed today with Di-
rector General McAdoo by ..e Broth
erhood OF Railroad Station Employ
es.
1T will be absolutely impossible
for the railroads to maintain a per-
manent force of freight handlers at
the rates indicated in the recommen-
dations," the protest said, ''in view of
the fact that they have not recon-
mended the basic eight-hour day."
The statement said that freight
handlers would receive an increase of
only II cents day, making their
wages for 10 hours $2.z7, while yard
brakemen in the same territory would
be advanced from $3.50 to $4.77 for
eight hours.

NEXT CALL A BIG ONE
Exemption Board Expects Call for
Many Men Last of Month.

While the local Exemption Board
has been given no official information
as to the number OF men to be called,
it is expected that the cali for May
25th to May goth will be large one.
1t is planned. according to dis
patches from Washington, to expand
the army during the present year to
a strength of from three million to
five million men, and it is expected
that each succeeding month will see
a larger increment drawn.
Classification upon the question
naires placed 433 men in Class l.,
which, with the addition of the 60
men sent to training camp prior to
that classification brings the class up
to 4o3 men, with probably hundred
eases which have not yet been passed
on by the, district board
In all 1873 Bates county registrants
have been drafted into the Federal
service not including those entering
by voluntary induction which leaves
900 men in Class plus such of those
who will be put into that class by the
district board when pending cases are
decided.
Calls have been made down to order
number 453, but inasmuch as the or
der numbers include all classes it is
possible to figure only approximate
ly the probability of the order num-
bers necessary to call to obtain a de-
sired number of registrants.

German Air Service Being Battered
to Pieces.

London, May 1.-the German air
service has been shattered to pieces.
Since March FL, it is estimated, their
losses total 700 pilots. observers and
machine gunners, while 1000 ma
chimes have been destroyed
This explains the cessation OF the
raids on London and Paris-the ell
envy being forced to withdraw night
pilots for use in day flying and OBJ
serving on the fighting front. The
Germans also require their huge long
distance bombing machines for bomb
ing near the front because they have
lost so many OF the regulation small
type.
1t is no secret that the British avia-
ton service saved the situation in the
early crucial days of the drive when
Won Hindenburg flung 10 divisions
against the British fifth army which
had only II divisions. The German
aviation service suffered tremendous
losses trying to gain supremacy OF
the air as low flying British machines
attacked and broke up German COM
munication and supply trains with
machine gun fire and bombed newly
constructed railway centers, thus de-
laying the German advance.
British, French and American avia-
tors ars bringing down enemy ma
chimes at the average rate of IS day
and antiaircraft guns are gathering a
big toll. Even the infantry has shot
down a number of machines with
rifle fire. Most of the hostile ma
chimes are two seaters-combination

which the Germans have specialized
Many more German machines have
been driven down out of control and
have been observed to catapult, land

pants were evidently not hurt
