EXPECT FAVORABLE
REPORT ON BILL

of President Wilson to oppose active
ly for the present at least. the Jones
amendment to the $11,000000 emer-
gency agricultural appropriation bill.

the period of the war, caused senate
leaders today to predict that the
amendment would be favorably re-
ported by the senate agricultural COM
mission, which hoped to complete the
hearings on the amendment and reach
a vote late today.
Few senators would express an
opinion as to the probability of the
amendment being passed by the SEN
ate, for the reason that President Will
son is understood to have told Sena-
tor Smith, of South Carolina, acting
chairman of the agriculture commit,
tee yesterday, his declination to op-
whether discussion of it holds up i'm
portant legislation.
Members of the senate continued to
discuss today, the testimony offered
before the committee yesterday by
cambridge Colby, representing Chair
man Hurley, of the Shipping Board
that to take beer away from the ship
yard employees would reduce their
efficiency and result in a reduction of
ship tonnage Of 25 per cent.

few men LEFT
IN CLASS ONE

The Richmond selective service
board received letter from Major
Robert Baltzell. state CONSUMPTION
agent. Thursday morning, notifying
the board that men may be indicted
under special calls for skilled labor
from deferred classes.
Il fully realize the fact that all To-
cal boards in Indiana have practically
exhausted Glass l men of the neces-
sary qualifications under these spe-
] cial calls" Major Baltzell wrote. Il
would therefore suggest that you give
the matter of calling for volunteers
wide publicity, and if you are unable
to secure men in this way take them
! from deferred classes
| Three men are to be selected by
the Richmond board for training at
the army automobile school here to
open Monday, July l. Five men for
similar training are to be sent from
here the same date to Valparaiso uni
versity. These men must be grammar
school graduates and must either have
had some mechanical experience or
show aptitude for mechanical work
| If enough men volunteer for induction
under this call it will not be neces-
sary for the board to take men from
deferred classes. The chairman of
the board said, however. that if eight
men have not volunteered when the
time comes to notify the men of the
call, the board will have to select
men qualified for the training from
deferred classes in order to fill the
quota. 1t is not thought that there
are eight men in Glass l who can
qualify with mechanical experience
| Only white men may volunteer for
these courses, which will continue for
two months. Men thus trained will
then be assigned to various branches
of the service where they are best
fitted.

IS men MOVED
TO CLASS ONE

Eighteen men have been moved
into Glass l by the Richmond selective
service board, since the re-eXamina-
ton of questionaires began Monday.
The chairman of the board said, how
ever that the names of these men
would not be made public until he
received definite information from the
state CONSUMPTION agent regarding
their status.
Several men have been called be-
fore the board and examined again,
and some of these may also be moved
up in the classification. The Is men
already changed were In Glasses
and 4.
Through this re-classifcation of reg
istrants the board expects to go
above the national average in the
number of men in Glass l.

CAMOUFLAGED CANNON
PASSES THROUGH CITY

A cannon covered with camouflage
paint. which passed through Rich
mond Wednesday evening was the
cause of much speculation.
Little information could be obtained
to from the officers in charge of the
cannon. The fact that it had been in
service before was evidenced by the
shellmarks it bore. 1t was a $500
pound gun made in 1898.
The officers in charge of the gun
intimated that it was being moved
east for use in the thrift stamp cam
