CAMPAIGN is
BEGUN IN LANCASTER
Meeting Held Yesterday Addressed
by Capt. Aiken, of L. -. Pub
lie Health Service.

A large crowd of both men and
women attended the health meeting
held yesterday in the court house.
The meeting was called as a prelim-
mary step toward the organization
of the health campaign to be waged
in the county, state and throughout
the United States. under the auspices
of the county. state and national
councils of defense.
The meeting was called to order
by X. +. Wylie. chairman of the

the Inauguration of the health cam
paign. He said that the whole coun-
ty will be organized and meetings
held in different sections and that Il
speaker will attend all the county
campaign meetings to make short
addresses
Rev Mr.. Murchison, field agent of
the state council of defense, was the
first speaker. Mr.. Murchison dwelt
at length upon the disease-carrying
mosquito and fly. He said that
5000 babies die annually in South
Carolina from diseases which are
preventable, as many as the total
American casualty list in the great
war up to short time ago. Mr..
| Murchison devoted the greater part
of his address TO a discussion of ways
and means of destroying the mos
quito and fly, chief of which, he said
is the destroying of their breeding
places, and he said that every mos
quito in Lancaster could be driven
out in two days if the people would
make a start in that direction. He
said this is no time for soft talk and
that the authorities should be told

Not Satisfied With Present Sys-
tenn of Determining Proper
ClaSSificatiOnS.
CLASSIFY AUTOMATICALLY
Certain Questions Proposed for
RegiStrantS and the Answers
Will Take Care of the Classi-
ficatiOnS.

Washington, Aug. 12.-New draft
regulations under which the govern
ment would do the selecting rather
than leaving it to the registrant. are
under consideration by the war de-
partment. This was disclosed by
Secretary Baker after he had ap-
peared before the senate military
committee to urge prompt enactment
of the new selecti act extending
the age limits to include al,, ~ be-
tween the ages of Is and As.
The war secretary made it plain
| that he is not satisfied with the pres
ent system under which the regis
trant must claim deferred classif
Tcation, as many men with depend
ents hesitate for patriotic reasons to
make such a claim. In this connec-
ton. Mr.. Baker said, he was inclif-
ed to the opinion that the marriage
relations will in itself constitute de-
ferred classification.
What Mr.. Baker has in mind Is to
lay down a set of questions which
the registrant would answer and
then have rules which would take
care OF the classification. He is un-
derstood to regard this as the fair
and equitable system.
The discussion on the draft ages
before the senate committee. Mr..
! Baker said. followed much the lines
taken by General March, chief of
staff, and Provost Marshal General
Crowder. The committee. he added
did not indicate any disposition to
question the necessity for the change
which is urged so that the war de-
partment can quickly get the men
necessary to win the war.
"There was some discussion" Mr..
Baker said, "as to whether IL was the
intention OF the department to ex-
tend the work or fight order to in
clude classes OF persons in various
professional occupations. I told
them there was no present change
of the work or fight order in con-
temptation. l said that when / de-
cided the baseball case Thought per-
haps other forms OF amusement and
entertainment might require an. ex-
tension of the order to be on a pari-
ty with the baseball situation. But
that was not in their mind
They had heard from outside
sources that the department was
considering bringing professional
| classes, like lawyers, newspaper men
and others who were not actually
engaged in producing war supplies
under the order"
The committee, Mr.. Baker con-
tinued. was especially interested in
the effect of the extension of the
| draft age on colleges and also in the
question as to whether young men
from Is up would be drawn indis.
| criminately in class one or placed in
a deferred class by age anu drawn
later. giving them some added
months to come to maturity.
Il told the committee" said the
war secretary. that no fixed policy
had been determined upon by the
department, but thu the purpose
was to allow the President to defer
in class one the call OF the youngest
men. have always considered. as
you perhaps remember, thai IS was
the proper minimum and | have
come to the Is minimum only he
cause it seems necessary 10 get the
