FARMERS SEERRC
DRAFT EXEMPTION
New Move for Exclusion as
Class TO be Big Feature Of
House Fight This Week
GENERAL CR0WDER
BECOMES INPATIENT

WASHINGTON. April s-The House
viii stage a spirited nght this week over
the draft classification bill. urged by
Provost Marshal-General Crowder and
reported by a divided vote Of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs
A special rule presented by the Rules
Committee viii give the draft bill
privileged status The Rules Committee
has also agreed 20 present a blanket
rule TO expedite ell military legislation
reported out by the Military Com
mlttec.
The draft bin nght will be enlivened
by the attempt Of coterie OF southern
members representing rural communi-
ties 10 amend the draft law and pro
vide general exemption Of farmers act
uslly engaged in agriculture.
This proposed amendment goes further
than the furlough bill recently passed
and would give deferred classification
to farmers as a class While the amend
ment doubtless will muster consider
able number Of supporters, the chances
are regarded as against It's approval
Under the Crowder plan quotas for
the draft will be determined on the
basis Of the number Of men In Glass
! A and not on the basis Of the popu-
lation Of the community and State in
volved, as was the practice under the
FIRST draft call The pending bill would
authorize calling out from time 90 time
certain per cent Of Glass I men.
Among the arguments Of the obiec-
tors 10 the bill is one that the COM
munity receives no chedit for the num-
ber Of volunteers 10 may have supplied
Another objection Is that in some di-
visions local boards have been more
strict than in other communities and
deferred classification thereby denied 70
a larger number OF men.
4 third argument in opposition is that
/ the Crowder plan initiates somewhat
against those communities which have
no alien born populations and which
consequently supply a larger number OF
men to the first class.
six members Of the Military Affairs
Committee declined 10 sign the majority
report on the draft bill The delay In
committee and in the House since the
report Of the bill has been so seri0u:
from the viewpoint OF the War Depart.
ment that General Crowder recently
said that unless the new draft legisla.
tion be promptly forthcoming he wll
/ proceed with the second draft call under
the existing law.
The necessity FOR rushing men q
training camps and 10 Europe is suci
that the department has about los
patience with the House. The bill ha

PIANOS CONTINUE
In EXPURT TRADE

NEW YORK, April S.-An ordinary
piano contains about two pounds and
six ounces OF wa land because this
IS true 10 looked for a time, not long
since, as II American piano manuiac-
iurers would lose an export business
that has recently been growing into
large figures.
Owing 90 the wool shortage and the
extreme need Of wool for army and
navy, the government has placed an
embargo upon exports Of wool and
upon on manufactured articles con-
tsining wool, and this OF course In
cluded pianos.
Now. two pounds and six ounces OF
wool Is a small item Ia q manufactured
product Ike a piano. which weighs
several hundred pounds and which can
be exchanged in spain or South Amer
lea for much needed war essentials.
At least this was the way it looked
90 the National Piano Manufacturers
Association, and after due considers
ton an appeal was made TO the War
Trade Board at Washington TO make
an exception Of the piano. General
Counsel George W. Pound sent a long
telegram Of explanation TO the board
one day last week from the associa-
tons offices in New York, and then
prepared % wait several weeks 20 see
what would happen Nearly always
it requires A few weeks for a govern
ment department to make up its mind.
Al least that was the case in the good
old days before the war.
Somewhat TO his smazement, how
ever favorable reply was received
within two hours. Not TO be Outdone
Mr. Pound got into immediate cOmmu-
nication with the manufacturers con-
cerned and in a few hours a large ship
ment Of pianos was being rushed
aboard vessel bound for a South
American port. This shipment win help

raw products, Of which the country is
SO much IN need at this time.
With this instance OF governmental
efficiency before them. the piano
makers OF the country are prepared to
believe that American help will shortly
be pouring into France in a way to
satisfy the most ardent expectations

GROUND Glass Scare
PRONOUNCED A B0CIE
Of 200 ReT orts Investigated,
Only One Proves True,
Say Food Heads
MAY BE PART OF
HUN PROPAGANDA

WASHINGTON. april s.-Of the 200
reports Of ground glass IN food held
TO be due TO plotting by enemy aliens,
only one has had any foundation In
fact, the food administrator announced
today. and the sabotage" in that In
stance was committed by a bakers dis
sruntled employe to injure his employ
er's gusiness.
Major James Miles. head OF the food
administration division OF inquiry. has
personally conducted ten inquiries in
and within the vicinity Of the District
OF Columbia, and at his behest the
Secret Service has made the other in
vestigations reported 20 the food ad-
ministration. Other intelligence services
Of the Federal Government also made
Investigations that proved the reports
TO be virtually as groundless as those
investigated by the food admlnistra-
ton. In few cases glass and other
foreign substances were found In the
coarser foodstuffs, but the presence Of
these foreign substances was patiently
attributable to careless milling.
Replying TO a letter relating TO one
or the most recent cases reported 10
the food administration Major Miles
wrote the following letter 10 A. E.
Ninson, Of the University Of Arizona
I'VE have followed the elusive
ground-glass story from Maine 10
California and from the lakes 10 the
Gulf for the last four months In the
thousands Of cases that have been re-
ported we have found but one genuine
case Of deliberate intent in putting
ground glass In food. This. case was
where a disgruntled empioye Of a
bakery IN Fort Smith, Ark. had placed
glass in one loaf Of bread. This was
done for the purpose Of iniurlng the
business Of the baker, and succeeded SO
well that the baker Is out Of business
due TO untmely publicity"
In tho Fort Smith case inmates Of
an orphansge who ate the bread sur
fered no more serious injury than
decorations Of the lips.
