Flags of America and Zion
Flank Ghetto's Service Stars
Entire District Takes Night OFF to Raise Banner for Its
Boys Who Are Fighting for Uncle Sam-Rain
Fails to Dampen Ardor of Dancers

The Ghetto has been wearing it's
heart on its sleeve since the war began,
but last night it unfolded it to the
skies, at Rivington and Ridge streets,
in the form of a twenty-one starred
service banner and fanked it on both
sides with the flags of Zion and the
United States, where all may see
Then it gave party for the twenty
one boys who have gone to serve the
cause of freedom overseas. In the
very heart of the Jewish district there
glowed last night the soft light of
lanterns, hung in rows across the
thoroughfare. Pushcarts had been hid
den away. Save for four red pillows
dangling from a wire overhead, Ridge
Street had been stripped of its bust
ness clothes.
Crowd Dances in Street
Youth played in the block roped off
for the festivities. Babies who could
scarcely toddle swept into the swirl
Of dancers and had to be rescued every
minute from under foot And as the
band, hidden in large truck, churned
out the strains of "Hatikvu," the Zion
national anthem, for the dancing, the
old folk of Rvington Street gazed
down from grilled iron balconies on
the three flags which waved side by
side in the breeze.
The service flag went up promptly

Henry Godfogle, Senator Bernard
Bowling and John F. Ahearn made
brief addresses to the crowds before
the dancing began. They spoke of the
work which the boys are doing in
France and of the necessity-already
foreseen by the inhabitants of this

behind and Of keeping in touch with the
soldiers.
One Soldier Present
Of the twenty-one boys of the Ghet-

Many Are Available
Use of Several Hundred Thou
sand Men Would Not AZ
feet Free Workers

ELBERON, N. j., Aug. 10-fThe use
of convict labor as means of partially
solving the war time labor needs of
the country was urged to-day by Judge
William H. V. Wadhams, of the Court
of General Sessions, New York. Judge
Wadhams, who lately returned from
England and France, where he went for
the purpose of studying the methods
pursued in those two countries of util-
izing men with prison records for war
work, was the principal speaker at the
first war work meeting Of the National
Committee on Prisons and Prison
Labor, held at the home of Adolph Lew
isohn, president of the committee
Judge Wadhams declared that there
were several hundred thousand men,
either in prison at the present time or
who have been released following the
serving of sentences which automatic
ally barred them from military service,
who might we'll be utilized in the pres
ent labor emergency. He added, how
ever, that. their services should be so
employed es not to interfere in any
way with free labor.
81 am fully aware" Judge Wadhams
said, "of the objections of free labor
to any plan which would put convict
labor in competition with it. This is
tarthest, however, from the thoughts of
those who. favor the employment of
convict labor for strictly war work.
Labor is so scarce, due to the drain
on the country's man power, both for
military purposes and the industries,
that the mere suggestion of convict
labor getting into serious competition
with free labor, under any circum-
stances, appears absurd.
1--WE need all the man power that we
can organize. Just because a man is
a prisoner he should not be permitted
to loaf and at the same time be housed
and fed at the expense of the state.
Instead, he should be made to con-
tribute to the winning of the war. In
vestgation has disclosed, moreover,
that many prisoners are agcr to do
their part, and as far as they are ca
pabe and fit they should be given
their opportunity, not only for the good
they can do the country but as the best
means for their personal reformation"
Judge Wadhams declared that in
both England and France the expert
ment has been highly satisfactory and
quoted figures to show that the valor
of men accepted for military service in
England, despite their prison records,
was second to none.

Too Late to Dodge Behind
Petticoats Now, Says
Captain Asch
Physicians Go To-day
Youths of Is and 10 Likely To
Be in Deferred Section
of Glass

Marriage slackcrs continued to be-
siege the Offices of the various borough
license bureaus yesterday. At Bor-
sough Hall, Brooklyn, at one time in the
early forenoon, more than $50 couples
were in line waiting to obtain licenses.
Representatives of the local draft
board viewed the rush of single men
to become benedcts with complacency.
When the new draft regulations are
finally adopted, they said, provision
would be made to insure the enrol
ment in Class la of those of draft age
who have married within the last few
weeks.
Captain Asch, assistant director Of
the draft in New York, in discussing
marriage slackers, said that although
exempted automatically from classti-
cation in la. such exemption would
santedate all licenses now being issued.
Registrars, Captain Asch said, will be
asked 20 answer certain questions.
Married men, providing they were mar
ried before the proposed draft law was
first outlined will receive deferred
classification without being obliged to
ask for exemption.
With reference to youths of eighteen
and nineteen years, Captain Asch be-
lieved it was the intention of the au
thorities to place them in a deferred
section o. Class l rather than in Glass
-, 3 or a. 1t is improbable he ex-
planned. that the draft trainers will
place them where they will be called
later than the Class l registrants.
1t was announced that the physicians
in Glass | recently called for service
will entrain this morning at the Grand
Central Station for Fort Slocum. 1t
could not be learned just how many
will leave, though the local boards
were ordered to induct all the physi-
clans they had in this class.
Fifty-eight blacksmiths, gas engine
men, mechanics and carpenters will be
called for special limited service on
I August IS for further instruction at
Potsdam, N. Y.
On the same date draft headquarters
has been requested to induct about
fifty grammar school graduates with
mechanical experience for further vo-
cational training at Syracuse Uni
versity. Cornell University also will
receive on the same day 101 automobile
mechanics, carpenters and sheet metal
workers whom the local boards have
been instructed to call for special linn
tied service.
