proprietors from giving first-class
service.

Wants Them Barred From Marriage

snondence of the Associated Press)-

prevent widows from remarrying SO
as to leave the few available men for
single women is urged in letter to

them are mothers already.

"there were in Germany about 100000
widows between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five. At a very modest esti-
mate there are now 100000"

tofore necessary, Director General
McAdoo has interviewed to prevent
garnishee Of railroad employees pay.
AS a protection to tradesmen 1t was

In Hands Of District Boards.

Gen. Crowder said that under pres
ent plans the matter Of exempting
this class of workers would be in the
hands Of the district boards to be
taken up by them after the question
naires have been passed on by the
local boards, which, he said, are with
out jurisdiction to exempt a regis
trant on the ground that he is an es-
sential industrial worker.
Just what the changes in detail Of
selecting those Of the higher ages
will be, Gen. Crowder was not pre-
pared to say. This Information will
be forthcoming later. when all the ar
rangements for making selections are
promulgated.
A greater number Of firemen and po-
1icemen will be granted deferred
classification in the coming draft un-
der new regulations announced today
by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Deferred classification will no longer
be conditional upon three years con-
tinuous service in the same munich
patty, 1t being necessary only that the
department employing the registrant
certify that he is highly trained and
cannot be replaced without substan-
tial and material detriment to the
public servfce.' The registrant must
make the same statement in his own
behalf in filing out his QUESTIONABLE.

Will Urge Prompt Action.

Both Representative Clark and
Representative Cary say that they
will urge prompt action upon these
measures, because they believe that
with the thousands Of war workers
coming to the capital, depending upon
these restaurants, some action must
be taken soon to safeguard the
health and pocketbook Of these clerks
on whom the government Is depend
ing for its Office work.

. Advantage to Register Here.

Registration in. the District will be Of
the greatest advantage to regtstrants.
local draft officials declare. The local
board in the District, which will handle
the registrant's case is within easy
reach all the time, and he can personal
ly ask and have answered at once all
questions in connection with any fea-
ture of his case.
One out-of town registrant living here
recently spent $50 in kilograms to his
local board in state, endeavorfng to
settle some point in his case, and the
only result obtained by him from his
outlay of. time and money was state
ment notifying him that he had been
classed as "deserter."

LOCAL BOARD KEPT BUSY

Government clerks in large numbers
are preparing to register in the Dis

registration day, September IL. Pres
ent indications are that hundreds OF
the clerks between the ages OF eigh-
teen and forty-five years will avail
themselves of the opportunity to reg

National Capital, rather than with the
boards in their home towns in the
states.
Nearly all the men who today are
keeping registrars at local board NO.
busy in registering absentees are
transients, and not government clerks,
thus indicating to the officials that
the federal employees are not register

are holding off until registration day,
when they will perforce have to
register here.

Statement by Committee

Some of the advantages of registering
in Washington. if a registrant is per-
manently employed here, and lives here,
are given by the central registration
committee as follows:
"Any necessary aff1davits which are
to be filed in connection with your par
ticular business, employment or Job can
be made better If you register here, as
your business or employment is here:
The district board, which handles all
appeals and industrial or agricultural
claims, also is here, and you will again
have the advantage Of immediate action
il your case.
'Your physical examination can be
accomplished here, both by the local
board and medical advisory board, and
you are saved all travel expenses incl
dent to appearance for the physical
examination. This means untold adj
vantage to you, as the experience OF
hundreds of registrants Of previous
registrations has been that out-of-
town boards have failed to answer
letters and kilograms. with the result
that hundreds Of men living in the
District of Columbia, but registered
outside thereof, have been declared
delinquents or deserters from the
Army, when the men were not at all
in fault, but could not get the out-of-
town board to act promptly"

told him about our captain talking out
loud as If he were sending through

to send the dope TO Cassell and he

Ing the investigation, Cassell would
swear he received 1t direct. They
would have to relieve him, because it
was impossible from his post In the
battery dugout to know that the road
was being used at that time by the
Germans. And also it was impossible
for him 70 give the target, range and

that no orders to fire had been issued
by him. The investigators would then
be up in the air. we would be safe, the
