FIRST CLASS OF ORIGINAL
DRAFT EXHAUSTED OCT.

Glass /, under the age limits Oh
the original selective service act, VIII
lave been entirely exhausted by Oc-
tober /. The war departments man
power program requires that 2,OOO'-
O0C more men qualified for full mill
tary service be made Immediately
available.
Serious interruption to the flow
of American troops to France, with
the consequent handicap to the battle
plans of the allied leaders, will re-
cult unless the now nearly depleted
reservoir of draft eligibles is re-
pienished at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Nearly 100000 men must
be added to the present list of regis
trants in order that, with the eX-
emptions allowed, at least 100000
fit to fight men will remain in
class l.
This required number of men may
be had only by including within the
draft age limits men between 92 AM
45 and between IS and 20.
This was the situation outlined by
Provost Marshal General Crowder in
g statement discussing the war de-
partment's plans for carrying into
effect the provisions of the new man
power bill now pending in congress
Preliminary steps have been TAX
en- by the provost marshal general,
said General Crowders statement,
ito provide for the registration OF
those men who will be affected by the
act which congress is expected short
~ to pass extending the age limits
of the selective draft.
State headquarters, local boards
and other officials in the various
states have been advised to hold
themselves in readines to proceed
promptly with their work as soon
as congress has acted and the presi-
Gent by proclamation has fixed the
date of registration.
Until the legislation is actually
passed it cannot be stated with ex-
octness, of course, what the new age
limits will be. But, because OF the
urgency of the situation, 1t is es-
sential that as much of the prepara-
tory work as possible be done at this
time in order that the administra-
tion may promptly avail itself of the
new law. To that end now as in
the past, the utmost reliance is plac-
ed on the American people to sup
ply the necessary cooperation and
team work.

HIGHWAY PREPAREDNESS
is IMPORTANT MEASURE

Highway preparedness for next
winter Is almost a negligible quanti-
" in many states whose roads OF
military and economic Importance
will demand their utilization during
the snow bound period Of next win
ter. A survey of the plans for snow
removal of every state in the union
having sufficient snowfall to impede
Highway traffic during the winter
months has Just been completed by
the B. f. Goodrich Rubber company.
The reports from the various state
highway commissions disclose a sur
brising lack of organization and leg
iylation to cope with situation that
promises to be worse this winter
than the freight congestion and en-
largo period of last winter.
Never before in history have the
American highways played such an
important part in transportation.
Eleet after fleet of powerful motor
trucks are plying between towns ana
cities. They release thousands and
thousands of freight cars for war
duty elsewhere. To take the trucks
off the highways next winter would
he nothing short of calamity.
Americas second winter In the
world WARMTH more munitlon fac
tories, more airplane plants, and
over a million men in France who
must have food and supplies from the
rural districts and the inland COM
,nercial centers--will heap duties on
commerce never before heard of, dut-
les of haulage that our railroads can
not hope to meet.
Highways and trucks must come
to the rescue. But under existing
laws state highway commissions have
no funds to keep the main Travelled
highways open and cleared Of snow,
They simply urge county and town
shin road trustees to keep the i'm
rortant roads open. There Is no
centralized power. Under the pres

ent system a patriotic and energetic
county road official may plow and
drag the snow from his roads as far
as the adjoining county line and find
the neighborlng county uninterested
and inactive.
The lack of foreslghtedness and
provisions for snow clearance Is
alarming, according to the Goodrich
company, and before it actually be-
comes disastrous to the moving OF
munitions, foodstuffs, fuel and ma
tcrals they suggest that state and
county highway commissioners ana
state legislators get together before
winter arrives. The planning must
start Immediately.

GIRLS CALLED UPON
TO ENLIST As NURSES

The government Is In need Of in
telligent nurses with good education.
rhe Oregon Agricultural college Will
cooperate in the effort to enlist wo-
men of this type in the United States
nurse reserve by readjusting subjects
so that students qualifying for en-
trance into the nurse reserve will not
cnly have the basic scientific work
required, but actual training In
nursing, dietetics and other helpful
rubjects.
Some hospital training schools are
prepared to give credit to college
graduates with training in science.
Some of the best hospitals in the east
and middle west, in fact, have ar
ranged to give credit of from six to
nine months, and in some instances,
of one full year in the regular course
of training to these college gradu-
ates.
The Red Cross in this country Is
enrolling for nursing service only
trained graduate nurses and the
places of $4,000 women who have
enrolled inust be filled in order to
prepare for the more urgent need
Of the future. This, the United
States nurse reserve proposes to do.
