Paint Up Goes Hand in
Hand With a Clean Up

Because a clean up with
out paint up is useless and
absurd. Houses that are un-
painted eyesores are made ug-
lier and more conspicuous when
only streets and grounds are
cleaned up.
because the painted sur
face. inside and outside, is wash
able and therefore can be kept
clean and sanitary. Paint

Provost Marshal General Crowder
for 3,039 MaryIanders. of which mum
| Der ,624 must come from Baltimore
lefty. This call, which is the largest
ISSUED for selects for some time, is
expected to exhaust the Glass Al.
For the purpose of handling the pres
ent call Adjutant General Warfield
has requested the chairmen of the
local draft boards to meet on Thurs
! day to handle the situation.
This number is in addition to the
6 900 drafted during July for special
military service. BY September Mary
| land will have contributed 10000
| men to the service.
The call yesterday is for white men
only, and the draft boards have been
| instructed that before any selections
whatsoever are made from the class
| registered in June, 1918, the class Of
June, 1917, must be entirely exhaus-
ted The order. in this connection,
reads as follows:

| This is the decision of the Provost
| Marshal General and must be obeyed
| in all respects"
| This means that the young men
who came of age between the regis
| trations of June, 1917, and June,
| 1918, will be exempted from service
for as long a period as possible. Whe-
Their it will be necessary to draft any

! the quotas of the different districts
cannot be foretold. 1t all depends
upon how many available men-that

service-of the first registration re-
main in each of the districts.
The order further indicates that
the men of the first registration who
were placed in deferred classes be-
cause of having been engaged in ag-
ricultural pursuits, are now to be
called out, for it says:
Registrars of the class of 1917
engaged in agricultural pursuits, and
whose order numbers have been pass
ed over under previous authority
and who now come within the cur

called, indicted and entrained."

IMPORTANT POST
FOR MIR. VICKERS

Kent COuntian Selected to Inspect
Draft Boards-He Has Not Yet
Accepted-NowS Serving as States
Attorney For His County.
Governor Harrington has rendered
to Harrison Vickers, States Attor-
ney for Kent county, the important
post of Inspector of Local Draft
Boards throughout the State. The
position is a responsible one under
the federal government. 1t carries
an annual salary of $4,000 and trav-
cling expenses. Mr.. Vickers has not
yet accepted the position, not being
satisfied that he can hold two posi-
tions at the same time.
The position was offered by Gov
ernor Harrington to w. Laird Henry,
of Dorchester, but he declined it.
To facilitate the work of obtaining
proper men for the growing demands
of different branches of war work.
the War Department has appointed
in each State a civilian aid to the
adjutant general. George L. Yer
lander has been appointed chief civ
ilian aid for Maryland, and he will
appoint, through the Maryland Lea
que for National Defense, of which
he is secretary, local aids in the diff
ferent sections Of the State.
Getting in touch with high-grade
men of the right type and character
to fill responsible government posi-
tions is becoming increasingly diff
cult.
Mr.. Verlander, through his con-
nection with the Maryland League
for National Defense, has been doing
much of this sort of work.
1t will be the duties of all civilian
aids to get, through local publicity,
men of the right type and character
to offer their services to the govern
ment, to interview these men and
either forward their applications to
the department interested or have
the applicant make his offer of ser
vices direct to the department where
his services could best be of use.
Experience has shown that there
are a large number of men through
out the country who are anxious to
be of service to their country, but do
not know where to go to be fitted in.
This work in Maryland will be car
ried on through the officers of the

BOche Planes
for Museums
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Melbourne, Aug. 81 (By mail ~
The Australian government has
planned the establishment of war
museums in Australia after the war
for the exhibition Of trophies and
relics. Among these are to figure
enemy airplanes which are captured
without being totally destroyed by
the Australian flying corps.
Such wrecked machines are of
course thoroughly inspected by the
technical department of the royal air
force, for examination of German de-
vices, and German adaptation of Brit
ish devices. They are eventually
handed over to the Australian govern
ment, to take their place along with
other trophies won by the Austral-
ian force.
They will be permanent memorials
of Australian prowess in the war,
and memorials, too, of a period of
airplane construction to which it is
likely that young Australia will
look back very much as we look back
today on the early models of the
steam engine.

was told that the fare he mistools

1t is on that principle that we

Now we must send sugar in the

exist can not be bought at any

the amount sent simply by the
money we would be willing to
spend on it. There is a serious

send all we can spare from our

definite amount available and it

When our barrage came down and
the infantry advanced in the grey

mist from the smoke of the barrage

dawn far darker than it should 9th

own shells were most difficult to see
through the mist ahead. Australians,
many of whom have followed a bar
rage like this many times before,
could often only tell where the bar
rage was by seeing our own shrapnel
shells bursting overhead.
American infantry who had not
seen or heard of shells before pluckily
faced the extraordinary difficulty of
knowing where they were by keeping
