AGE LIMIT REMAINS SAME
Men Over 81 VIII Not De Drafted
Every Youth Reaching ~ Since
June 5. 1917, Must Reg
lister.


Washington. The Government has
decided on draft registration OF ali
young men as fast as they become
twenty-one years old as the means of
keeping filled the ranks of the war
army. 1t has decided against raising
the draft age limit above thirty-one
years.
An Administration bill was intro
duced, at the request of the War De-
partmont, by Chairman Chamberlain,
Of the Senate Military Committee. to
register for draft all men who have
reached 81 since June S, 1917, when
the draft law became effective. The
Administrations support seems to as
sure its prompt passage. The bill
agrees with the recent recommends
tons of Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
Other Administration bills intro
duced by Chairman Chamberlain, at
the request of the War Department,
win supplement the draft law to make
it workable under conditions that have
developed. One would permit fur
Laughing of National Army troops for
harvest work or other civilian duty;
another would eliminate enemy alien
population from basis of calculations
for draft quotas by making the basis
for each state the number of men
available in Class One.
Registration of men who have be-
come Of age since the draft law was
enacted was recommended in the re-
cent report of Provost Marshal GEN
eral Crowder as one of the means by
which a supply of men for the Ma
tional Army might be assured without
taking those who might have others
dependent upon them. W
It could be done, also, the Provost
Marshal General pointed out, by ex-
tending the age limits above the pres
ent line of 81. The War Department
has adopted the first suggestion. 1t
is estimated that it will add about
100000 men to the draft available
each year,

Chamberlain would provide distinc-
tive badge or button for exempted

MADE GAME FIGHT
AGAINST U.B0AI
The ]. L. Luckenbach Refused
to Surrender.
III. S. DESTROYER TO AID
Battle Had Ragged For Four Hours
Before The Warship Finally APP
peared on The Scene And The
Submarine Ducked.

Washington. 'Never!" This was
the grim, laconic response flashed by
radio from the American steamship
j. L. Luckenbach when, after a four
hour battle with German submarine,
she was urged BY United States de.
stroyer, speeding to the rescue. not to
surrender. And she didn't. Although
nine Of The 225 shots fred by the u
boat found their mark the Lucken-
bach battied on until the arrival of
the destroyer, which escorted her to a
convoy and to safety.
The detailed account Of the battle
on October 10, just made public by
the Navy Department. is based on the
report of the commander of the armed
guard on the vessel
1t was 7:3G in the morning that the
lockout discovered what appeared to
be small steamer off the port BEAM
The supposed steamer turned out to
be submarine, and the Luckenbach
Immediately opened fire. One shot
from the submarine exploded in the
gun crews quarters, starting fire
and at the same time breaking the fire
main. The main finally was blocked
off and water got to the blaze. Anoth-
er shot struck the quartermaster's
room. Two landed in the port side,
forward, striking the oilers room and
putting large hole in the side. An
other destroyed the fresh water tank
and still another landed in the petty
officers mess room.
Meanwhile distress signals were be-
ing sent. They were answered by the
destroyer at $40, when it was flashed
that it would require two hours to
reach the attacked steamer.
..Too late" came back the reply.
Look for boats" Don't surrender!"
said the destroyer's wireless 'Never!"
was the reply.
And so the Luckenbach battled des-
perately against the German, return
ing shot for shot until the arrival Of
the destroyer The submarine then
submerged and the destroyer stood by
until the Luckenbach's engines had
been repaired. one of the shots hay
ing burst in the engine room.
"The ships crew behaved admir-
ably" the commander of the armed
guard reported to the Navy Depart
ment. 1.-THE armed guard also per
formed its duty in praiseworthy
manner. The men stationed at the
guns never finched. and when the
after gun was put out of commission
the after pointers came to the for
ward gun and relieved one another
as 167 rounds were fred from the
forward gun.
All Of the members of the guard
have been commended by the Navy
Department for gallantry and devo-
ton to duty, and the commander Of
the guard has been promoted, being
given temporary warrant as boat
swain.
The Luckenbach had commenced
firing about TAO and ceased firing at
l1.40, two hundred and two rounds
being fred at the submarine.
The destroyer stood by until the
engines were repaired, which took
about two hours and half and then
escorted the Luckenbach to convoy,
which was reached about 5 P. M.

Coach Meller, Richmond high

his hands full in his attempt to de.
velop an entire new track team.
Very few of the old men are report
ing for practice in the track events.
The bad weather has been partly re-

some track men and lack Of proper
school spirit is thought to be another
cause.
As II stands now Richmond high
school has not enough good entries to
compete with a strong school and this
will probably result in Coach Meller
giving up the Cincinnati meet How
ever.s he will try to whip some new
material into shape before the meet.

participate in the meet. He will join

THE Knights of Columbus, which
is doing a mighty welfare service
for the comfort. pleasure and
morale of the American soldiers both
in training camps in this country and
on the battle fronts in France, is
planning greatly to expand its activi-
ties as the American forces of fight
ers Is increasing. Everybody Wei
come" is the slogan the Knights are
sounding In its big recreation halls
in training camps and behind the
trenches, and it is giving to the
soldier boys the kind of encouraging
help that the Y. NJ c. A. administers.
There is no creed In the work Of the
knights. The hospitality of its well
fare work is extended without cost to
all soldiers regardless Of their re-
ligious beliefs. The Knights are bend
ing all their energies to the one great
end Of helping the American fighters
win the war.
To maintain the great work that is
already In operation and to extend it
as must be done as the size of the
American army grows will require a
public subscription fund with which
70 meet expenses until July 1. 1919.

Knights are doing the same kind Of
work. There Is no overlapping, but
generous cooperation prevails among
all the welfare organizations. Cath
olics, Protestants and Jews are fight.
ing side by side, and the welfare or
CARNATIONS are helping them without
thought Of sectarianism. The public
is urged to forget religious differences
and help boost the Knights Of Colum-
bus war fund, just as the soldiers dis
regard religious lines and drive away at
the common enemy with a solid front.
President Wilson, Secretary Baker,
Secretary Daniels, Governor Good
rich, and a long list of war leaders
heartily endorse the work of the
knights Of Columbus. General
Pershing and General Foch, who are
in close touch with the work OF the
organization in France, are urging
that it be expanded as much and as
rapidly as possible.
The drive for the fund in this city
and county will start on Sunday, May

respond as generously and promptly
as other parts Of the state.

GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
Kept her locks youthful, dark and
glossy with common garden
SAGE and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur. no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, SO
evenly. Preparing this mixture, though
at home is mussy and troublesome.
At little cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents called "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is sign of old age, and as we all
desire a youthful and attractive ap-
pearance, get busy at once with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and
look years younger. This ready-to-use
preparation is delightful toilet
requisite and not medicine. It is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.--Adv
