CrOWder Gives
 Ruling In the
 Fight Orders
Does Not Affect All Indus tries Failing to Obtain
 Place on List.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 12.-Provost Marshal General Crowder tonight an- nounced that the work or fight order now being enforced by district boards would not affect all industries failing to obtain a place on the preference list recently established by the war industries board.
 An erroneous impression was cur rent, he said, that the list of five non- productive occupations in which men of draft age can not be employed, if they wish to retain deferred classifi- cation, had been enlarged to include all industries which the preference list omitted
 "This idea," General Crowder said, "calls for prompt repudiation.
 "The 'non-productive' list of five classified occupations have not been enlarged, and it will not be enlarged without the amplest and most exprl- cit notice.
 "Selective service boards are ex- pressly directed until further notice to bring no other occupation under the work or fight order except those expressly listed"
 The preference list of the war board General Crowder said strengthened the position of limited number of in dustries most essential to the conduct of the war in that they are recom- mended to the district draft board may take advantage of that recom- mendation in determinging whether an indispensable man in such an indus try should be given deferred classifi- cation.
 On the other hand the work or fight order, he said, strengthened the army by taking registrants who chose to stay in a small group of occupations in which they could be replaced by women or older men or boys.
 The two grours General Crowder explained, "are not identical and presumably never will become identi- cal"

NAVAL BASE OF GERMANS
 IS SEIZED Found in Virgin Islands and Has Been Seized By
 Alien Custodian FORMERLY OWNED BY HAMBURG INTERESTS Base Consists of Lands, Buildings, Docks and
 Other Property.
FORMERLY OWNED BY
 HAMBURG INTERESTS
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 12.-A potential German naval base in the Virgin Is-
 lands has been seized by the alien property custodian and will be used for the needs of the American navy and customs department.
 The base consists of alnd, buildings, docks, warehouses, large water tanks and cisterns, lighters, loading para phernalia and coaling facilities form erly owned by the Hamburg American line.
 In announcing seizure of the marine nlant, which is located at St. Thomas, 6Ilen Property Custodian Palmer said that Germany considered that it admitted of possibilities as naval base, "was shown by the fact that their principle building commanding the harbor is of reinforced concrete and the plaza in front of it is said to have an eight foot foundation of
 concrete for the gun emplacements. After the United States acquired the islands from Denmark, and when it appeared that it would declare war on Germany, MT. Palmer said, the
 Hamburg-American line agent, who also was the German consul, "sold' the plant to the lines lawyer, Dan ish citizen named Jorgensen. The sole consideration mentioned was note for $210,OOO which oJrgen- sen was said to have given the Ger man company.
 This note was payable three months after delivery and renewable every ! three months until after the war and bore no interest, Mir. Palmer said. Darwin P. Curry, the alien property custcdian's representative at St. Thomas, learned of the transaction and Jorgensen finally executed a deed to the alien property custodian, but not, MT. aPlmer said, until after he had protested and sought refuge in his Danish citizenship. The alien property custodian assum- ed whatever obligations were attached to the note Jorgensen had given the German company and the note itself was seized.
 One of the reasons for the purchase of the Danish West Indies, by the United States was the fact that St. Thomas offered natural base for,the defense for the Panama canal and it is the intention of the government to fortify the harbor and establish a na- val station there.

SNEEDS' CLEANING
 ESTABLISHMENT IS
 GREATLY IMPROVED

The business of the Sneed Dry Cleaning Plant has grown to such proportions that the proprietor, Sig. Hyman, haS tbeen forced to buy a Dodge car to handle the increased business.
 The car has been fitted up with a closed body and is beautifully painted and lettered.
 The new name of the firm is now Hyman's Cleaning and Pressing Shop, and while most of the people will re- call this place only as "Sneed's'.
 Many improvements have been made that one familiar with the old establishment would hardly know the new place.
