RULES TO GOVERN
WORK OR FIGHT
ORDER

Washington, June 22-Instructions
to draft boards were issued today by
Provost Marshal General Crowder ex-
planning and simplifying the work or
fight order under which after July
all men of draft age, regardless of
their present classification, must en-
gage in employment held to be pro-
ductive or join the army.
When it has been determined that
a person in deferred classification is
an idler or is engaged in non-produc-
tive service" say the Instructions,
the classification and order number
OF such person will be withdrawn and
he will be immediately indicted into
the military service"
Several specific rulings are made as
to the effect of the order upon certain
classes named as non-productive. In
the case of sports and amusements,
the language of the order is repeated
with emphasis, but without mention
ing professional baseball, an expected
announcement concerning which had
been awaited with keen and wide
spread interest. In making public
the instructions, however, officials of
General Crowder's Office said base
ball playing "at present is regarded
as non-productive, though there will
be no ruling until an individual case
has been appeared from local board
Chauffeurs public and private" are
eliminated from the non-productive
class unless they engage in work held
to be productive in addition to
their mechanical duties. This fea.

NO RELIGIOUS FEELING
AMONG GERMAN PEOPLE

Amsterdam, June 22-The German
quarterly church review, published
by The Protestant Kreuz Zeitung, of
Berlin seems likely to make unpleas-
ant reading for Emperor William, in
view of his frequent utterances in
praise of the piety and high morality
of the German pecpte.
The review declares that the task
of the church has become immeasur-
ably harder because of the utter lack
of discipline and religious feeling

their easily-gotten money in their

JUNE BRIDES

How many June, how many brides,
Have gone before l cannot say,
I only know your yelling hides,
The bushes of bygone day.
Your mother blushed the self-same
way,
Her mothers cheeks were tinted,
too;
Now here's another wedding day,
And 10, the charming bride is you.
This has been so since man began
To claim fair woman for his own
Since it was proclaimed unfair for
man
To spend and live his life alone.
To June the sweet and silvery tone
Of wedding bells is nothing new,
This music ages long she's known
And now tire charming bride is you
And friends have come from far and
near,
To see the bride and wish her well,
To shed the glorious happy tear,
And bask a moment in her spell;
To stand about with friends and tell
How long the lover had to WOO,
Twas SO the day | married Nell,
And it is SO today with you.
The oft repeated scene but grows
In beauty as the years go by;
Each happy maiden's wedding knows
The music of mothers sigh;
The light of many friendly eye,
The hand that throws the wornout
shoe,
For these are joys that never die,
And now the gentle bride is you.
God grant that love shall never fade,
This is the oft repeated prayer,
The prayer that ages long have made
For every newly mated pair,
That love shall live through every
care,
And blossom sweet mid sorrows
rule,
Make light what burdens you must
bear,
And now this is my prayer for you

Scandinavians Helped To
Develop Pacific Northwest

Seattle, Nov. lS.-That the Scan
Observation-Disclosures have played an
important part in the developing of
the north Pacific states is the opin-
ion expressed by n. \. Grevstad,
who has just completed a Trip
through the northwest. Mr.. Grey
Stad, who was formerly United
States minister to Uruguay and Par
aguay is one Of the prominent mem
bers OF the Scandinavian group in
this country. During his recent stay
in the state OF Washington, he had
excellent opportunities 10 observe
and study the activities OF his people
who have settled there
One Of the industries in which
they have been engaged i, fishing
This refers particularly to the de
velopment OF the ocean fisheries off
the banks, extending from Puget
Sound to Alaska, and including the
catching OF halibut, cod and her
ring. The Puget Sound fishing was
started, on a large scale, by NorVe-
gian settlers, and still remains prin-
cipally in their hands The NorWe-
gians Swedes. and Danes are also
more widely represented in agricul-
tural pursuits than any other for
eign-born people. Thus, in one of |
the largest and most fertile valleys |.
in the western part OF the state more
than three fourthst OF the farmers /
are Norwegians.
In Seattle, the metropolis of the
north Pacific coast, Mr.. GreXstad
found the Scandinavians we'll repre-
sented in business and official cir
cles. The present mayor, Ole Han
son, is OF Scandinavian blood, the
son of a Norwegian farmer of Ra-
cine, Wis. There are three Scandi-
nayian banks in Seattle and two
Norwegian newspapers, of which
one, the washington Posten" is one
OF the oldest Norwegian publica-
lions in the countries. The cities OF
Tacoma and Spokane are two other
,enters OF scandinavian activity.

Jewish Bank Extending

spite OF all the difficulties under
which the bank labored in the days

The credit extended by the Jewish
bank has been an important factor
