LOCAL BOARDS
RECLASSIFYING
ALLDRAFT MEN
Sympathy Disregarded,
Though Justice Is Re-
membered.

ouestionnaires Of all registrants from
the District became subject to inves-
tlgation begun yesterday morning be-
fore members Of the legal advisory
boards. It Is thought the reclassifi-
cation by this process will not be
completed until sometime next week,
owing to the magnitude Of work in
volved.
Legal advisers and appeal agents,
together with local board members.
have been notified that the only men
whose cases will escape scrutiny are
those actually in the military or naval
service Of the United States
New regulations concerning those
married after the passage of the Sc
lective service act may produce some
complications, as under the new rul-
ing registrants who presented the
proper affidavits to show that their
marriage was contracted for perhaps
months before the selective service
law was passed and were therefore
placed by their boards in Glass 4. now
will be put in Class II no child has
been born of the union. and in Glass
IL there Is a child.
New Registrars Included.
The new rule will apply equally to
men twenty-one years old who regis
tered June last, IL they were mar
ried before May Is. 1917. The fact Of
the wife's dependency will be disre-
garded now in all such cases. unless
there Is a child Of the union, either
born or unborn.
Registrants who may be reclassified
as the result of the present investiga-
ton of their status will have the
right OF appeal, It was announced
yesterday. Draft oficials have been
instructed to reject sympathy, as far
as Justice permits, and to bear IN
mind the military necessities OF the
situation.
In a recent communication to the
draft boards. Gen. Crowder called at
! tentioR to the fact that four Of the
eleven local boards OF the District
had placed more than the average Of
| 2S per cent Of registrants~ in Glass l.
and that several others had come up
to that national average
The Board.
Examination of the questionnaires
is being made by members Of the le-
gal advisory boards under the direc-
tion OF A. A. Hoehling. Jr.. chairman.
and they are empowered to summon
whatever witnesses are necessary.
Each board has been given a legal
lieutenant" and ten lawyers. mem
bers OF the legal advisory board.
have been detailed to assist him.
Redistribution OF men now in
class 2. A. B. C; class 3, A. B. C, and
class 4. A. is occupying the atten-
tion of the board this week. Gen.
Crowder's work or fight" order. de-
flning useful and non-useful occu-
pations. will not be considered at
the present hearing, but will be TAX
en- up by local boards later.
Results of the work now being
conducted must be reported to Pro-
vost Marshal Gen. Crowder by July

OoNllNOED fhUA fAOB ONE.
petes for the labor Of an essential
plant; instances are frequent where
one government project secures men
at the expense of another. AS a re-
suit, the labor turnover Is alarm
ingly great. with a loss in war eff
cheney which we cannot afford. Not
the least of the consequences OF the
existing situation Is its effect upon
the morale of workers in the rest
lessness which 1t produces and even
encourages.
Can No Longer Submit.
These are largely the natural con-
quences of subjecting to q new ter
rife strain existing agencies and
old attitudes Of mind. We can no
longer submit to these. The first
problem. therefore, to which the
War Labor Policies Board address,
ed itself was the formulation of a
plan to centralize the recruiting of
socalled unskilled labor and thus
to insure the fullest use of
such labor to the needs of the war.
am glad to report to you that the
board has arrived at a plan which
embodies the opinion of every pro-
duction department of the govern
ment and is supported by the
thought of representatives Of in
dustry and labor who have been in
our counsel in working out this
problem.
One Centralized Agency.
The essence Of the plan IL the
recognition that one centralized ma
tional agency is demanded for re-
cruiting the workers for the ma
tion's war needs, that the United
States Employment Service Of this
Department is the agency appropri-
ate for this task. that adequate re-
sources must be given to this service
and corresponding effectiveness
must be secured to enable it to dis
charge the responsibility. Accord
ingly, every department Of the gov
ernment. through the strength at its
disposal, whether 1t be by the
mechanism of contact or by shut
ting of raw material from a recalci-
trant industry, is pledged to the en-
forcement Of this plan. It will mean,
of course, that thereafter all private
enterprise in securing labor on a
substantial scale Will be prohibited
by the full authority at the disposal
of the government. Time must be
given to make the needed adjust
ment, and, therefore, it has been
deemed wise to postpone the install
lation OF the new plan until August
1, 1918.
Anticipates Obstruction.
Il write you thus at length be-
cause the proper mobilization and
distribution Of labor are them
selves part of q fruitful and lust
national labor policy, and without
these We cannot hope for progress
In the solution of other labor ques-
tions that call for settlement. The
success of the plan Is, therefore,
indispensable. While it may en-
counter obstruction because Of
minor selfish interests which 1t
must offend, we need not anticipate
serious difficulties IL the public mind
is fully apprised and the nations
understanding of our purposes is
enlisted. The Policies Board, there
fore, deemed the public announce
ment of this program of suficient
national importance to deserve, and
indeed to call for. its proclamation
by you. ! share this conviction and
join in this recommendation OF the
Policies Board. strongly hope that
the need of this action will COM
mend itself TO your wisdom.
Faithfully yours,
"w. a WILSON, Secretary.

u. S. Will Share With the Allies
Their Sacrifice of Food.

The United States will share with
the Allies their sacrifice of food as
we'll as blood in the cause Of world
democracy, declared Herbert G. Hoov-
er, Federal food administrator, on his
arrival at New York Friday en- route
to Washington after brief. visit to
England and France.
Asserting that 1--WE have to make
good" a pledge to this effect, which he
had given to the allied food admins
traitors while sitting "at common ta-
BILE in common cause" Mr.. Hoove.
said that to do so America will next
year have to supply the Allies four
billion pounds of fats, 9O0,00O,000
pounds of beef products, 5O,OOO,OOO
bushels of cereals and 100000 tons
of sugar. However, Mr.. Hoover add
ed, beginning September 1 there will
be no need for drastic food rationing
in the allied countries except in the
case Of sugar and beef.
In statement dealing with his Oh.
servations abroad Mr.. Hoover said in
part:
i "The harvests in France, England
and Italy are better than one could ex.
pect in the tremendous drain of man
power to the front. This is due to the

be that she has been sunk by her
crew, possibly after the men had re-
turned to the submarine.
Immediately upon receipt of news
that the Triumph had been seized a.
an auxiliary by the Germans, naval
experts expressed the opinion that
the cruise of the raider would be short
probably not longer than 46 hours, and
this fact was realized by the Ger
man commander in planning the coup
In naval circles the belief was held
that the German crew either would
meet the parent submarine at a pre-.
designated rendezvous and sink the
trawler, or would sink the craft anc
take to small boats in an attempt te
reach some desolate part of the Goa 81
from which point they might hope e
make their way inland and find places
of hiding.

DISASTROUS DAY
FOR GERMANS

British and French Victorious Over !
so Mile Battle Front-Hopes Rails !
ed of Decisive Defeat of Germans.
Last Friday apparently was one of
the most disastrous days ever expe-
rienced by the Germans. The British
were victorious on battle front Of
% miles extending from the Cojeul
river on the north, across the Ancre
and Somme rivers almost to Lihons.
The enemy lost wide stretches Of
ground, numerous towns, thousands Of
men made prisoner, and large guam
titles of materials and guns
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bava-
ria, the German commander, threw his
men in before the advancing British
armies in an effort to stave off the
inevitable, only to have them moved
down again and again by storms Of
metal which poured from the British
guns. One entire enemy battalion
was annihilated during the fighting.
Dead Germans in great numbers
were scattered everywhere over the
battlefield. AS an example, 400 ene-
my dead were observed Friday morn
L
which the battle had swept.
A Paris dispatch of the 23rd has
the following:

HAD BRIEF CAREER.
Converted Steam Traw1er, Armed
By German U-Boat Crew Believed
to Be No Longer on North Atlantic
Fishing Grounds.

Absence of any definite report of
raider Triumph. the converted steam
trawler armed by sixteen members Of
activity Thursday on the part of the
a German U-boat's crew, strengthens
the belief held in naval circles that
the vessel is no longer on the North
Atlantic fishing grounds. While num-
erous dispatches were received during
the day detailing the effects of the
Triumph's foray into the ranks of
American and Canadian fishing
smacks and trawlers, all dealt with
sinkings which occurred Wednesday
and Tuesday night
So thorough have been the steps
taken to safeguard the fishing fleets
as described by Admiral Benson
chief of naval operations, that officials

Triumph lould not have escaped the
net spread for her capture. The only
