YOUNG AMERICANS
TO FILL UP RANKS
WAR ARMIES WILL BE RAISED
FROM CLASS ONE UNDER NEW
SELEcTIVE PLAN.
All Youths Who Have Reached the
Age of n Since June 5, 1917, to Be
Required to Register, Adding
100000 Men a Year.

WashingtOn.-All men for the war
armies still to be raised by the United
States Will come from class one under
the new selective service plan. That
means the nations fighting is to be
done by young men without families
dependent upon their labor for sup
port and unskilled in necessary indus
| trial or agricultural work
Provost Marshal General Crowder
| announced the new policy in a report
on the operation of the selective draft
| law submitted Thursday to Secretary
Baker and sent TO congress. He says
class one should provide men for all
military needs of the country and TO
| accomplish that object he urges amend
| ment of the draft law so as to provide
| that all men who have reached their
| twenty-first birthday since June ),
| 1917, shall be required to register for
| classification.
Fair Distribution.
Also in the interest of fair distribu-
! ton of the military burden. he pro-
| poses that the quotas of states or dis
| trictS be determined hereafter on the
! basis of the number of men in class
one and not upon population
| Available figures indicate, the re-
| port says, that there are 100000 quail
flied men under the present registra-
| ton who will be found in class one
when all questiOnnaires have been re-
turned and the classification period
ends February 10. To this the extern
sion of registration to men turning u
! since June of last year and there
after will add 100000 men a year.
Class One EIiaibIes.
Class one comprises: Single men
without dependent relatives, married
men who have habitually failed to sup
port their families, who are dependent
upon wives for support or not uSefully
engaged, and whose families are sup
ported by incomes independent of
their labor; unskilIed farm labOrers,
unskilled industrial laborers, regis
trantS by or in respect of whom no de-
ferred classification is claimed or
made, registrantS who fail to submit
questionnaires and in respect of whom
no deferred classification is claimed or

in any division of the schedule.
The plan places upon unattached
single men and married men with in
dependent incomes most of the weight
of military duty, for the number of
men in the other divisions of class one
is very small.
First Draft Success.
General CrOwder finds that the first
draft surpassed the highest eXpecta.
tons and pays high tribute to the
thousands of civilians whose service
made the plan success.

AUTO ACCIDENT
RESULTS in ARRESTS
,,oMINENT NORTH GEORGIANS
AND LOCAL REAL ESTATE
AGENT WERE IN THE CAR.

An unfortunate accident occurred
Thursday afternoon on the Graves
station road which resulted in the
injury of a negro man, Herbert
Brown, tenant on the farm of Mr..
!. Hill two miles east of Dawson,
ond the arrest of a prominent citizen
Of Atlanta who was here with two
other citizens of North Georgia on
q business mission.
That afternoon Mr.. J. A. Horsley,
the local real estate agent, went out
with Mr.. H. o. Reeves. of the At
lanta Trust Co., and Messrs. E. ].
Noultrie ana N. N. Smith, of Rome,
to inspect large tract of land the
visitors were thinking of buying.
They were in Mr.. Reeves car, which
was driven by himself. On the
return trip as they approached the
intersection of the New Hope and
the Graves Station roads Brown drove
into the Graves road in two-horse
wagon, which was struck by the car
and practically demolished. The wa
gon hung on the bumper and fender
of the machine. Brown fell between
the car and the wagon, and his in
iuries were received from the fall.
His back was wrenched and he was
otherwise painfully hurt, but is ex-
pected to be all right again in a few
days. The occupants of the automo-
bile say he was not struck or run
over by the car. 1t was raining at
the time, and Mr.. Horsley says the
machine was being driven at moder-
ate speed.
Mr.. Reeves and the other two gen.
tlemen remained in Dawson until
next morning, when they left on the
return trip to Atlanta. In the mean
time Mr.. Hill swore out a warrant

leased under bond in the sum of
$500.

HAS INTEREST IN A
LF-HEALINC INNER-TUBE
Is Solution of One of Most Serious
Troubles of the Automobilist.

Mr.. C. M. Harris is exhibiting
what is believed to be a solution of
one of the most serious problems con-
fronting automobile owners-relief
from tire trouble. 1t is the Doss
puncture-proof inner tube, which, af-
ter being subjected to practical tests
of extreme severity, is as tight as
drum. The one in use on Mr.. Har-
ris' car has had 125 or more nails
driven through it, and is yet in per-
feet condition.
The tube is not "puncture-proof"
according to the ordinary definition
of the term, it's chief virtue being
that it is self healing. A nail may
penetrate the casing and perforate
the tube, but the hole is Immediately
sealed Theoretically and no air es-
capes.
Mr.. Harris not only has consider
able stock in the company, which has
an Office and large factory in Allan
ia, but has the exclusive right for
the sale of the tube in eight counties
of this section of the state.
