WORK OR FIGHT
New Draft Regulations Aimed
at Men Not Usefully Employed.
Registration and Classification
of Men Up to so Years Old.

Washington, April 6-Work or
fight. is the principle of new draft
regulations before President Wilson to-
day.
Drawn by the provost marshal gen.
eral and approved by many labor
leaders, the proposed legislation is
aimed at industrial slackers in de-
ferred classification, who are not serv-
ing in useful capacity during the war.
TO Get Loafers and Idlers.
1t is one of the most delicate propo-
sitions yet launched by the govern
ment owing to the fact that some la
Dor leaders see in it an effort to
thwart strikes. 1t is maintained by
those back of the proposition, however,
that such is not intended. They point
to the great need of a leader in many
quarters. particularly farm labor
which need will grow increasingly
great They point also to the thou
sands of so-called city loafers and
idlers of all kinds, who for one reason
or another are in deferred classifica-
ton under the QUESTIONABLE system.
These should be coralled into serv-
-ice-either work or trenches-it is
claimed by army men, and this posi-
ton is strongly reinforced in congress.
Numerous bills have been intro
duced both in the house and senate to
accomplish this, but have never been
pressed.
These econtemplated-and this would
be the administratlo next step. 1t is
stated-registration and industrial
classification of all men up to age of
fifty years.
1t would affect in degree non
essential ndustry-turning men from
ribbon counters to farm work, for in
stance-but would "clean out and
make more fair" the classification sys-
tenn according to officials.

Washington, April 6.-Shipbuilders
in Americas victory shipyards" on

More than 25O,O00 workers in 1872

Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board The American flag and the
new United states shipping board flag

the repetition en- masse by II work

Il pledge allegiance to my flag and
to the republic for which it stands

and justice for ALL"
Must Do Our All
Hurley's message. addressed to
every man of YOU follows:
AT this hour of national peril
when the forces of despotism long
gathered, are hurting themselves
against US, 1 call upon you, the ship
builders of America, to put forward
all your might to our common pur-
pose. 1t was an evil thing that the
phrase was coined that we do our bit.
The nation of which each member to-
day merely does his bit, is lost. Doing
our bit is too small a bucket to bail
back the sea. The tide of despotism
is too great for such small and un-
availing meaures. We must do our
all.
Shipyards Second Only to Trenches.
And. therefore, on this day, mark
ing the anniversary of our entrance into
this war which threatens civifiza ton,
it is fitting that l appeal to you for the
large and full measure of your help.
And 1 ask you as far as is possible
that you consider that my appeal is
personal to yourself, each man of YOU
in the shipyards of America. And /
ask you to scrutiniz. yourself and to
put to yourself the question, each man
of you, whether you yet work to your
highest limit.
For your brothers and your sons
and the men who were comrades al
your elbow in other days are fighting
in the trenches of France and their
safety depends upon the measure and
the quality of your work. Their muni-
tons of war, their reinforcements and
their food are dependent upon the
rivets that you drive and the ships
that you launch.

blacksmith's shop, the machine shop

and honorable responsibility that rests
upon you, the shipbuilders of America
and you must meet it fully.
Gratitude OF the Nation.

BY RALPH H. HEPPE.


For Kansas. the first year of the war
has been one of mighty endeavor, in
tense effort. patriotic sacrifice and
great aims fully accomplished
In every corner of the state activi-
ties have been speeded up as result
of the war, and interest has been
quickened. On the farm, in the fac
tory, in the office or shop and in the
home there have been few idle days
The state has literally pulsated with
the throbs OF its wartime industry.
The fence corners have been farmed,
the idle acres have been made to do
their best" the factory has speeded up
it's output, the office man mas spent
his leisure minutes on city lot
garden, the housewife has made her
fingers fly with the knitting needles or
put in the time at local Red Cross
headquarters, the fuel supply has been
conserved and the contents of the gar
bage can have been reduced SO that
now one container suffices where
formerly it required two. 1t has been
a year of work and save" for Kan
sas. And the state is straining at the
leash at the beginning of the second
year of the conflict, eager to surpass
it's quota in any war campaign now
under way or to start during the year.
The results of the states efforts are
concrete. Figures compiled by the
Associated 4ress from authoritative
sources show that the state during
the year, has subscribed approximately
$50,000,000 to liberty loan bonds of
the first and second issues, put more
than 5000 men in the military and
naval service of the nation, subscribed
$S,000,000 to the Red Cross war fund,
raised $3.50 600 for the war work of
the Y. NJ. C. A, enrolled about L. 1000
