No Escaping the Draft.-Slackcrs
who leave the country to escape the
draft will lie prosecuted under the So
Icctiva service act on their return. At
torncy General Gregory has announc-
ed.
"It has been brought to my attrn-
tion." said the attorney generals state
ment. that n number Of men OF con-
scription age have left and that even
now occasionally. others are leaving
the country to cvadc military service.
"Slackcrs are presumably
laboring under the dclusion that by
securing a temporary residence In
another country for the duration Of the
war. they may escape their military
obligations and upon the termination
Of the war may return homo to enjoy
the fruits of sacrifice in which they
had no part.
when this struggle is complete.
however. such men on seeking admis-
sion to the United States will find that
1t will be necessary for them to stand
trial on indictments charging them
with violations of the selective service
act. These trials will be vigorously
prosecuted and the maximum penalty
provided by the law will be urged upon
conviction.
THE passage Of time will not pre-
vent the bringing Of prosecutions.
Such non- -registrants and delinquents
either must return for military service
or become permanent expatriates with
all future rights Of United States citi-
zenship denied them. The government
Mt no time hereafter will be Inclined
to grant any general amnesty to such
men.
1T also should be clearly understood
by the general public that whoever
assists another to escape from this
country to avoid military service OF
whoever assists to maintain in a for
eign country one who has fed there
to escape military service. Is guilty OF
violation Of the espionage act and
upon conviction becomes liable to the
full penalties imposed thereby"

FOOD PRODUCTION LAW
Appropriation Conditioned on Prohibi-
ton of Liquor Making.

The administration food production
hill. authorizing the department Of
agriculture to spend s10.S6i.4oo to in
crease production was passed by tho
house last Thursday with provision
stip,llating that the principal appro-
priaiion. SG.lO0.00O for the expenses Of
county agents. shall not br available
unless the president issues n procla-
nation rorhi,lding the use of foods for
the manufacture Of liquors.
Prohibition advocates won their
fight by vote of III TO 1873 sustaining
the tentative vote taken Tuesday.
They now arc preparing to campaign
for the provision in the senate.
The measure also carries n rider
prohibiting the use Of the funds to pay
salaries OF mon of draft age who have
been given deferred military classifi-
cation. where exemption is based
solely on the ground that they are
employed in the department Of agri-
culture in indispensable work.
The dry amendment was fostcrcd
hy Representative Randall. prohibi-
ZIONIST. Its opponents argued vainl!
against any attempt to coerce the
president, and insisted that such ac-
ton would not hurry the president
into exercising his authority to pro-
hihit the manufacture of liquor during
the war.
Republican members succeeded in
inserting an amendment to itemize all
of the prohibitions after contendinG
for it for several days. An appropria-
tion OF $4,000 for use Of the depart
ment of agriculture to mobilize farm
lahcr, was stricken out.
Among the items contained in the
hill are: For the prevention and erad-
ication of diseases Of livestock, ST.
O5S.s75: for procuring seed to sell
to farmers at cost, s2.500.000: for the
prevention and eradication OF plant
diseases. sSl1.300: for increasing food

VOLUNTEER AGE LIMIT
Army Will Now be Able to Use Men
from 20 to SIS.

Another move towards fun utiliZa-
tion OF the country's man power was
made Friday when Secretary Baker
sent TO congress the draft OF n bill
proposing to raise the maximum age
limit for voluntary enlistment in the
army from 40 to SIS. All men over 40
So enlisted would he assigned 10 non
combatant service. In letter to
Speaker Clark asking that the bill be
pushed. Secretary Baker said:
Every man above the age of 40
years who is enlisted in non combat

available for duty with the line troops
man within the prescribed age limit
for all troops.
Many men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable TO the va
rious staff corps and departments may

There probably are 100000 men
he thus secured instead Of younger
between the ages of 40 and 55, and
many thousands OF them already have
attestcd their desire to serve by bonn

the men in this class undoubtedly

duties behind the front. Every head

present occupants who under the new

Official estimates are that a modern

that of the first 100000 men sent to
France. 100000 serve along the line OF

the necessity for il. General Crowder
said:
THE war has so far disorganizcd

nous industrial output and national
organization necessary 10 success.
There is popular demand for
organization OF man power. hut no
direct draft could he imposed at

Steps to prohibit iilcncss and non
effective occupation will be welcomed
10y our people.

between military service and effect
i've employment. Every man in the

This is not alone war Of mill
tary manruvcrs. II is deadly con-
test of Industries and mechanics.
''n Is enough to ask what would
happen II every man in the nation
turned his hand to effective work.
How is this to he done?
"Thc answer is plain. The first
step toward the solution OF the diff
ii, ulty is to prohibit engagement 10y

ful employment. idlrncss or incffcc-
tual employment. and thus induce
and persuade the vast. wasted excess

Unanswerablc Criticisms.
"Onc OF the unanswcrablr criti-
Visms OF the draft has been that II
takes men from the farms and from
all useful cmploymrnts and marches
them past crowds of idlrrs and loaf
crs away from the army. The rene
dy is simplC-to couple the indus
trial basis with other grounds for cX-
rmption and TO require that any man
pleading exemption on any ground
shall also show that he is contributing
to the industrial welfare
OF the nation.
"Thc regulation itself makes plain
the determination Of the war depart
mrnt. The great organization OF
local and district boards which has
already accomplished n notable work
may he relied upon to catch the
spirit OF the movement and sorely
needed man power will soon be flow
