TO ROUND UP IDLERS.
Instructions to Draft Boards-Men Of
Draft Age Must Be Productive
ly Employed or Fight.

instructions to draft boards were
issued Friday by Provost Marshal
General Crowder explaining and am
plifyjng the work or fight order nm
der which after July all men of
draft age, regardless of their pres
ent clasGifications, must engage IN
employment held to be productive or
join the army ;
"When it has been determined that
q person in deferred classification IS
an idlcr or is engaged in noE-produc-
tive service" say the instructions,
''the classification and order number
Of such person will be withdrawn and
he will be Immediately inducted into
the military service"
Several specific rulings are made
as to the effect of the order upon
certain classes named as non-produc-
tive In the case Of sports and
amusements the language of the or
der is repeated with emphasis but
without mentioning professional base
ball, an expected announcement con-
cerning which had been awaited with
keen and widespread interest. In
making public the instructions, how
ever, officials of Gen. Crowder's office
said baseball playing at present IS
regarded as productive though
there will be no ruling until an incl
vidual case has been appealed from a
local board. :.
Chauffeurs "public and private
are eliminated from the nOn-produc-
tive class unless they engage in work
held to be n-productive in addition
to their mechanical duties. This fea-
ture of the instructions attracted at
tention because it would class as use
full family chauffeur who performed
no other service and would send him
into the army if he also acted as but
ler or handy man around the house.
The boards are directed to apply
common sense in considering with
drawals of deferred classification
privileges and to aid registrants in
making necessary changes in employ
ment by furnishing lists of those sum-
moned for examination to the United
States employment service.

Dr. Maurice F. Egan. United States minister to Denmark. addressing the A.ler..csn Academy e. Arts and Let ters cn the position of .he Scandina. v.an nations in the worli war. said that from the beginning ef the war. Sweden. Norway. and Denmark had maintained neutrality under extreme difficulties. says the New York Times of recent date The doctor says that after having spent 10 years on the German frontier he could see how Americans had misunderstood the views and hopes Of these nations America, he declared, was big, free country, apart from any other and with it's cwn institutions and the power to maintain these, while the three Scan d.navian nations have lived and are living under the constant shadow of d ruthless colossus.
 While the Scandinavian nations are closely allied by blood. pr. Egan con- tinued, they have widely divergent ideals. Sweden is the least democrat ic nation Of the three. Norway, after the break with Sweden, would have become q democracy if the great pow CTS permitted her to. Nothing now but the life of the little Prince Olaf, heir to the throne prevents Aer from becoming enc.
 Sweden Inclined to Germany
