INEXPERIENCED
 MEN TO GET WORK

Col. William A. Gaston. head of the Public Service Reserve in Massachu- setts, has found that young men in deferred draft classes are having difficulties in conforming to the work or fight regulation because employers refuse to give them jobs owing to their lack of mechanical training.
 These young men, who are married or otherwise supporting dependent relatives, have been forced out Of their jobs in stores and elsewhere by the draft regulation providing that they must be engaged in productive work. The consequence is that they have been placed in serious position, which Col. Gaston is endeaYoring to improve.
 He has issued a patriotic appeal to employers in Massachusetts to give these young men employment, re- gardless of their ineXperience. He suggests that it is one way by which manufacturers can do their part in the war-by enabling these young men to support themselves and their 1 dependents while they are learning mechanical trades.
 James McGrady. former president of the Boston Central Labor Union : who is associated with Col. Gaston 1T : this work, expresses the view tha the young men, most of whom art well educated and have been engaged in work considered important il peace time. will be able to learn rap i idly, and that in giving them tn chance the employers are not onl, manifesting their own willingness t help the government, but are enablin the young men to serve where the can serve best

Wounded Soldiers
 Get New Limbs

London, Aug. 30-A Canadian off, cer, wounded early in the war, came to St. Katharines Lodge, one of the American. Red Cross orhopedic hos pitals in London, to have his left arm made over. The elbow had been shattered. The officer was given choice of having a weak movable el- bow, or a strong. stiff one. Without hesitation, the Canadian chose the stiff elbow. and astonished the sur geons by asking that the arm be made perfectly straight so he could use hunting rifle and a billiard cue.
 Another Canadian officer insisted on having his smashed leg so rebuilt that he could continue to ride horse. It required months of ortho- pedlc treatment. but when the pa tient finally left the hospital to re- turn to his ranch in Western Canada, he was ready for the saddle.
 These cases illustrate not only the special work of an orthepedic hos pital, but how closely the surgeons consult the wishes of their patients.

MEXICO TO HANG
 HER PRISONERS

Chihuahua City, Aug. S0-Hanging has replaced firing squad executions in northern Mexico. General Francisco Murguia prefers the rope to the bull let for disposing of condemned men as he says 1t saves ammunition, which is difficult to obtain. When General Murguia's troops capture the bandits who burn trains and loot towns he or ders them strung up to the nearest telegraph poles. Passengers arriv- ing here from the south recently re- ported having seen 35 bodies hanging from telegraph poles along the Mexi- can Central railroad.
 When Villa last attacked the state capital here, General Murguia ordered more than 100 of Villas partisans within the city hanged to the cotton wood trees in the Alameda. Last week a paymaster of the army, who was short in his accounts, was found

USED
 BY EXPLORERS

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 30-Vilhjal- mur Stefanson. the Arctic explorer, is convinced that airplanes, instead of sleds, should be used to explore the Arctic wastes, says Frank Murphy, an Alaska railroad man who has ar rived here from Fort Yukon where he talked with the explorer.
 Although Stefanson hopes to go back to the Arctic some time, possi- bly, with airplanes, he has made no plans for future explorations Mir. Murphy asserted. The explorer plans to spend the coming winter in Canada and the United States.
 After being over five years In the far north, Stefanson will reach Vic toria. B. C.. some time in September, MT. Murphy said.
 | cablegram recently received here from the north stated that Stefanson expected to reach New York Oct. 6.

MOCK ICE CREAM
 WAR REGULATION

London, Aug. 30-IA cream, made without milk, cream or sugar to com ply with government regulations, has been all the rage this summer at the soda fountains of London. The recipe was conceived by an American. Charles H. Boeglin, of New York City, soon after the British govern ment prohibited early this year the use of milk products or sugar in the manufacture of ice cream.
 Here's the way the mock ice cream is made For a gallon of the ice, two pounds of glucose or four pounds of honey. If honey is used it should be boiled down in a quart of water, and before being poured into the freezer should be allowed to cool for three oI four minutes. Then add the white of one egg and any flavor desired and freeze. Fresh fruit adds consIdera- | bly to the flavor of the ice which really tastes like ice cream.
 In London, where even in summer eggs have been worth about 10 cent: each, the ice manufacturers use the powdered egg albumen instead o. eggs

DUTCH FAILURES INCREASE.

Washington. Aug. 30-Holland is under the shadow of business stagna- ton. say advices to the Department of Commerce. During the first six months of 1918 the number of busi- ness failures was 467. In the cor responding period of last year the number was 456.
 Since 1914, however" the report states. the number of failures stead lily decreased until this year. The change in tide shows that the period of large war business and profits s ended"
 The report is regarded as signifi- cant inasmuCh as it disclOses that Ger manys purchasing power must have been growing less rapidly. Germany has made heavy purchases in the Dutch markets and this traffic has caused international discussion.

New York, Aug. 5O-To some of the members of the German Reich stag, peace has become more import ant than victory of the military class on the battlefield.

MINE WORKERS TO BE AFFECTED BY NEW DRAFT LAWS

Response during this week to the further draft call, which takes away 10000 more white men from Pennsyl- yania, Is virtually certain to take an other quota from among the anthra- cite mine workers, Their number ls already reduced to the point Whlch prevents production of doal up to the maximum output possibel with the existing development of the mine- workings and the mining equipment Such further reduction, as shall take place in the mine workers army Will inevitably reduce the production ol coal.
 The antracite mine workers are Sull-blooded, courageous men who rear nothing so much as to be ttousnC towards. There are some ScoundfelS in the region, Germans at heart II lh- deed not in the Hun service, who are doing their part to upset all the plans and efforts which the government and others have made to show the mine workers that the highes. service which they can now perform for their C.ountrY Is to cooperate in every way with the efforts to got out coal ana still more coal.
 Recently the Hudson Coal company secured exemption for six men whose services in hoisting cody from the mines were highly essential Safety and efficiency require experienced men in such work. All went well un- til last week, when someone, whose identity has not yet been discovered wrote with chalk at the top Of the shafts the word "slackers." No sooner / did the exempted men come up anC see the word, than they quit. The! said they would not remain unde such an undeserved slur and imme diately volunteered.
 Thus the dirty" work of some COW ard or traitor cost the nation mel whose services were most greati needed where they were, The draf has not taken nearly so many mel from the anthracite region as voiun teer en'isting. At the Forest Hill col fiery 612 men have gone into the arm and navy, more than one-tenth Of al who were employed.

Washington Aug. 30.-Wlth the as- Eurance from Mexican authorities that there shall be no repetition of the outbreak on the border at Nogales. Ariz., which resulted in the death of three Americans, the incident is con- sidered closed incident by both State and War Department officials.
 The State Department was informed yesterday, said Secretary Lansing, that Nogales. Mex, was placed under mar tial law. on the order of Gen. Gales, governor of Sonora, who, it is believed. has restored order. Secretary of War Baker said he had a despatch from General Holbroos. commanding the Southern Department. telling that the border has been reopened.
