L. L. Kiene, chairman Of the First
District draft appeal board, returned
today from Pottawatomie County with
recommendations of changes in CLASH
fication for forty registrants from that
county. About twenty-five of these will
be put into Glass 1 by the new classifi-
cation, following an investigation into
the individual cases. In trip through
Pottawatomie County last week a re-
porter for The Star found many COM
plants of improper classifications of
registrants under the Draft Law. Some
Pottawatomie County residents were
quite indignant at the reports printed
about disloyalty and slackers in that
county. The facts gathered were laid
before the district appeal board and
the investigation of the cases was
made. AS a result Pottawatomie
County will have about twenty-five ad-
ditiona1 members of Glass 1 shortly,
subject to call into the next draft. Sew
eral cases were found where men had
been given deferred classification for
farming the same piece of land and
the land in some cases was not very
large. A few men were found to be
improperly placed in Glass 1 and will
be given deferred classification.

An investigation is being made from
the United States marshaTs office OF
the sale of a large number of war
stamps. the proceeds of which are
known to find their way to Germany.
Residents of Kansas and other states
are known to have invested in these
securities, which were placed on the
market by Count Won Bernstorff. A
quantity of these stamps, taken from a
salesman who is now where he cannot
spread anything more to support Ger
man kultur, were on exhibition at To-
peka. That the stamps were being
peddled to former purchasers of Hun
war bonds, is the belief of the fed
eral authorities. The stamps are
printed with the figure of a woman
holding a baby and are supposed to
be for the relief of German war or
phans. The authorities believe they
have located the last consignment,
which was shipped some time ago, and
efforts are being made to trace pur-
chasers.
