praise from American officers. Where
as in America there are but two en-
trances-one at either end-English
cars. American officers say, seem built
especially for ease in loading columns
Of fours.
THE way Of, tae Yanks has been
paved with good cheer. They are aired
and exercised aboard ship. but they
land with great craving for open air
apd wide spaces. They get this in an
old town which Is one of the beauty
spots of England. A series Of great
tent villages receive them and they
come frosh from hundreds Of showers
into supplies Of clean clothes and the
warmth Of English entertainment that
is varied and continuous. A very few
days finds them entraining again for
port.
"An English general. commanding
one Of the ports Of embarkatioh, Is
outspoken In his praise Of. the spirit
with which the doughboys Chamber up
the gangways. It has been necessary
frequently to remove almost by force
men who are III and would not report
the fact because they did not. want to
be left behind"
Another correspondent Of the Weekly

DRAFT SERBS FOR HARVEST
Austria Calls Up Males and BULGARIA
Holds Women Liable for Service.

Austria Calls Up Males and Bulgaria
Holds Women Liable for Service.
London, Aug. SIT is learned from a
trustworthy Serbian source that q no-
tice calling up all the Serbian male
population between the ages OF II and
SIS has been published in the Belgrade
newspapers. This new outrage upon
the unprotected Serbian population ap-
pears. to mean the collective forced re-
cruitfng Of Serbians for the purpose Of
obtaining the harvest for the Austro-
Hungarian military stores.
In order to justify this new violation
Of the law of nations, it Is learned by
Reuters, the Austro- Hungarian COVE
eminent has published the following
declaration:
This measure Is justified by virtue
Of Article 81 Of The Hague Convention.
AS the result Of experience. At has been
found absolutely necessary to prepare
exact and complete lists Of all males
capable of doing work, especially mer-
chants and those who have Legitimate
standing Those found capable will In
due time be called to suitable work.
and will, naturally, be remunerated."
Under the Bulgarian regime the
treatment of Serbians who have been
recruited has been even more ruthless.
Exhausted. half-starved and ill-clothed,
the people were compelled to travel
several hundred miles to the places
where they were put to work In the
harvest. Announcement was made on
July, % that all persons of both sexes
between the ages of II and go would
be considered as liable to be called to
work.

Women From Wealthy Families Work
in Wisconsin Canneries.


Milwaukee, Aug. S.IWives and dau8h-
ters Of wealthy citizens In the Wis
consin pea canning districts have en-
tered the canneries to aid the labor
situation. On Saturday they line up for
their pay envelopes and receive min-
inrim wage for their ten hours work.
Forty per cent of the peas canned
in the United States are put up In
Wisconsin plants.
Earlier In the season pea packers
expressed grave fears OF serious la
ker shortage and pointed to the food
administrator request for all the
peas possible.
George p. Hambrecht. labor COM
missioner, after conference with
Food Administrator Hoover, sent labor
commission employees Into all Aomes
and obtained Pledges from women in
all homes and obtained pledges from
women in all walks of life to work in
the canneries If called upon.
Then a. conference was arranged
with the packers. who were informed
that they woald be provided with help
IL they paid the women minimum
wage, established a ten hour, working
day except in an emergency and then
not more than twelve hours, and made
proper sanitary arrangements.
The packers signed an agreement,
vices were called on, the response was
most satisfactory and the canneries
now are operating with a full force. =

Wilson to Fight For IS to rs Draft La,u

President Wilson is prepared to wage
finish fight for the speedy passage
of the new manpower bill, fixing Is
TO 40 years as the age of military serv-
ice under the selective draft.
Should any opposition develop in con :
gress to the new age limits determined
upon by the war departm mt or to
granting the military authorities the
tremendous power over 26,0OO. 900 men
of the country, which the new man.
power bill will give them, the president
will personally appear before congress
and urge that all other legislation be
laid aside Temporarily until the new
draft bill Is passed.
Members of the military committees
of the senate and house, who will in
troduce the measure in both branches
of congress. fully expect the president
to address a Joint session of the senate
and house on the subject of the draft
as soon as congress reconvenes. Strong
opposition to the new age limits al.
ready is being voiced by members of
the house and by a few senators who
all along have been opposed to lower
ing the draft age below 81 years.
President May Make Appeal.
Whether this opposition will be
strong enough to cause the president
to appear personally before congress
and make a specific request for the i'm
mediate/passage of the new manpower
bill will be shown when the bill is In :
troduced in the two branches Of con-
gress.
An effort will be made by the repub-
leans to end the recess Of congress be-
fore Aug. "a. when the senate is sched
uled to meet again to transact business,
but there is little possibility that this
effort will be successful. Senator
Chamberlain. Of Oregon, chairman of
the senate committee on military af-
fairs, said no expects the draft bill will
have clear sailing in the senate, as
there is little opposition to the meas
urc in that body, and that the senate
can pass it within ten days after 1t re-
convenes. This will give the war de-
partment plenty of time to register and
number all Of the new draftees, he said,
before the new classes that will. be pro
vided in the changes in the daft law
will have to be called upon.
The house is scheduled to reconyene
on Aug. 10, and Representative Dent.

DIFFICULTIES OF SHOPPING.
Weeks Job to Purchase New Shirt in
Petroqrad.

Correspondent Associated Press.l
Petrograd, July 1.-THE difficulties
hedging in existence, of those who live
in Petrosrad during these times of dis
turbed regime and shortage in ncces-
sites of life, extend in all their details
to the ordinary simple task of buyrnS
shirt To accomplis, this takes time,
patience and determination.
First. one must find the shirt. One
may visit forty shops before he finds
one of the proper size. The question OF
preference Of style Is not to be consid-
cred for one moment. Otherwise one
will never get the shirt. Having found
something that resembles shirt of the
proper size, one deposites a small pay
ment to hold it.
The next thing is to convince ones
house committee-there is commune
in every apartment house in Petrosrad
now-that he needs shirt. II the
house committee passes favorably on
the subject. it so reports to the precinct
or district soviet" or commune. This
in turn reports to the commissary in
charge of the distribution Of shirts and
kindred articles Of clothing.
II one is quite lucky. after five or
six days time. he receives a duly signed
| and sealed permit to buy a shirt. Then
he buys it. but ordinarily pays the
Russian eqivalent of SIS or $40 Some
of the poorest quality may be found
as low as the Russian equivalent Of
So.
This restriction OF purchase extends
to all major articles of mems and
women's clothing and shoes and recent
ly. because OF the linen and cotton
goods shortage. was applied to hand
kerchiefs. Prices for everything are
in proportion to the shirts, an ordinary
suit OF mems clothing costing the
equivalent Of 500.

ing. 1t Is considered probable that
many Of the 19-year men have been
fighting with the American units in the
battle line.
To Train Young Men in Schools.
Neither Secretary of War Baker nor
any one connected with the war de-
partment has any intention of drafting
1S-yearold boys one day and ship
ping them to France the next, as some
members of congress would represent,
1t is reported in Washington. Schools
and colleges which are being utilized
now for special technical training of
drafted men are to be further drawn
into the national service for'th prep
aration of the 1s and 19-year -old men.
The period of training will be much
longer than that which Is given the
older men in the military camps.
Ono of the most far-reaching effects
OF the draft ages to As years will be
that resulting from the application of
the ''work-or- fight order. There is
no ground for the belief that General
Crowder, provost marshal. will not APP
ply the regulations against non-pro-
dnctive employment to the new classes
that would be embraced in the changed
age limits. Il It
All Must "Work or Fieht.'
With all men between the ages of
Is and As years required to engage in
useful employment, it would be virtu-
ally impossible for professional base
bali to go on next season. as some man
ayers had hoped. Secretary Bakers
recommendation. made in connection
with the baseball case, that the regula-
tions should be enlarged to include
actors is expected to- take definite form
shortly. Under the new dratfiiimits the
stage and the movies" would be de-
prived OF virtually oil the '.stars.". Mo-
ton pictures could OF course, continue
thru reproduction on films made be-
fore the actors were subject to regula-
tions. but the spoken drama. .".slap-
stick" musical comedy and all other
branches Of the stage would be hard
hit. x
The race tracks would be deprived
not only Of all the Jockeys but a
majority Of the trainers and other at
PENDANTS. Very few Of the jockeys are
under Is years OF age. -
Hotels, cafes. clubs and saloons would
find> the greatest difficulty in obtaining
walters bartdnders and other men out
side of the new ases.

committee will have the bill in shape
for reporting to the house on that date,
whether or not any hearings are held
on the, measure
NORM Is Answered.
Representative John NJ. NORM, of
Pittsburgh, who led the fight against
drafting men below 81 years of age
when the original selective service bill
was being considered by the house
military affairs committee, is not in
Washington. but It is known he still
holds the view that such men should
not be called. The original ages sug-
gested BY Secretary Of War Baker were
10 to %. but the house committee voted
for Fl to IS. and the house sustained
the committee.
AT that time Mr.. NORM presented
figures to show that in no country then
engaged in the war were men below
81 subject to service. and the hear
ings disclosed that Secretary Baker ex-
pressed surprise upon being so in
formed.
In order to obtain the latest accurate
Information on the present ages of
service in France the Public Ledger
correspondent inquired of Lieut.. Col. f.
Requin, of the French general staff.
now attached to the French military
mission in Washington and no author
lied the following reply:
The French are subject to military
service in the active army and it's re-
serve in the territorial army and its
reserve between the ages of 20 and As
In case of war the classes may be kent
In active service.
1t Is thus that the class of 1913
tyoung men barely 10 years of age)
have been called to the colors and that
we have men at the front IS years of
age. Between Is and IS the men are
capable Of the greatest resistance"
Colonel Reauin's reply means that
men 81 20 years always have been SUBJ
jcct to service, but that by special
act Of the French chamber and senate
additional classes--men not vet 20
may be called for service The class
Of 1919, which ordinarily would not be
subject to call until next year, was
called many months ago, and the senate
last week authorised the calling of the
1920 class, which Is the 18-year-old
class.
The training OF the 1919 class in
France was completed some weeks ago
and these men put into the actual fight
