Defense Council
To Enroll Men
MANY ARE NEEDED FOR SHIP-BUILDIKG
Will Provide Card Index Showing Individual Fur
ChaseFs OF Liberty Bonds.

Meetings of the county council
Of defense were held on Saturday
and Monday evenings for the
purpose of giving the help of that
organization in enrolling men
for shipbuilding work. w. j. Ross
of this city was appointed local
enrolling agent for Benewah
county to register qualified men
for this service. This action was
taken in response to letter re
ceived by C. j. Kinsolving, chair
man of the county eOuncil, from
T.. N. Hurley, chairman of the u.
5. shipping board.
The letter from Mr.. Hurley
states: ssN
at should be brought home to
employers and to the employees
of the industries of the nation
that their own future depends on
the construction of these ships.
The fact is that the recent order
issued by Fuel Administrator
Garfield, closing the factories Of
the whole country, and the more
recent freight embargo issued by
Secretary MCAdoo, tying up all
the freight with the exception of
food and fuel, came not because
of falling down on the part Of
the carriers themselves, but be
cause of the lack of ships.
"Until we have ships to clear
the Atlantic ports of manufac-
turcd goods, for which our Army
in France and our Allies are in
need, these enforced holidays and
ombargoes must recur, with the
result that no factory in America
can be assured of running full
time and no workman can count
ON continuous employment.
eff you can drive this home to
your people; if this lesson,
through constant repetition, can
be thoroughly learned; there is
10 doubt that you will get your
quota of the necessary men.
1t is not mere numbers that count
1t is the efficiency of the men
enrolled"
The council Of defense is also
preparing to adopt an index card
system showing the amount of
individual Liberty Bond invest
ments i'm the county in the past
and will secure data Of the
amount of Liberty Bonds now
owned by each original purchaser.
A committee consisting of r. b.
Hay, c.. w. Leaf and j. q. Fralick
was appointed for this purpose.
This action is taken i'm response
Ito request from Joseph Hansen,
secretary of the state counci OF
defense. The county council has
Gecided to meet every Monday
evening, the meetings to be held
lin the court house.

TWO ARE ARRESTED;
HELD AS SLAcKERs


Two men, giving their names
as Ole A. HaversOn and John w.
Remassa, were arrested Sunday
night by Chief of Police William
Steele on suspician of being
slackers. They gave their ages
to the officers as twenty-five and
twenty years respectively
and both claimed to have regis
tered at Deer Lodge, Mont.
A registration card was found on
Remassa. Neither had a classii-
cation card showing that a ques-
tionnaire has been filled out and
both are being held in the county
jail while the local authorities
communicate with the local board
al Deer Lodge to ascertain if they
have complied with the law.
Remassa states he has served
four years in the navy. Both are
native-bOrn American citizens.
Warren II. Shepperd, clerk of
the local board for this county,
is in receipt of a letter from
Sheriff C. S. Smith of Madison
county, Nebraska, regarding
Lawrence Meredith, who was held
here for an investigation of his
status under the draft law. The
letter from the Nebraska officer
states that Meredith is a genuine
Stacker who was arrested i'm his
county for failure to register and
was registered under compulsion.
Later, while being held by the
government as slacker, he
escaped from the jailOr at Madi-
son county and the officers there
had been unable to locate him
luntil they heard from the local
fauthorities.
Meredith was held here for
several weeks by the officers
awaiting advise from Nebraska
but on not hearing from the local
board, he was required to fill out
a QUESTIONABLE here. He was
then given a physical examina-
ton, and being found qualified
for service, was sent to Camp
Lewis about a week ago. When
larrested here he stated he had
been arrested in Nebraska for
failure to register but was reg
listered under compulsion and
permitted to go after being held
73 days. He stated that he had
been again arrested at Auburn,
Cal. on suspicion of being a de-
serter but was released a week
later.
