CLASSIFICATION RAPID
OF MEN OF NEW DRAFT
To Clean Up Questionnaires. Youth
of Is and Men Over 81 to Get
Theirs Soon

So intense has been the work of the
of men of the new draft registration
has been so rapid that Questionnaires
soon will be sent to youths of Is and
men between 81 and 46 years of age.
Though required TO register Septem-
Der -. no action had been taken as
to these classes. because of the inten-
ton to defer calling them for service
until all other available material had
been exhausted. With their enroll
men. the work described by Provost
MARSHALL General Crowder as the
classification of the United States"
will be complete.
Influenza epidemic conditions are
such, in the opinion of the General
STAFF, as to continue the indefinite SUI
pension OF the October draft calls,
but it is intimated that the mex call
will be of unusually large proportions.
Final returns from all States show
that 12,966,594 men registered for mil
itary service September IL. This was
1S7 1886 in excess of the estimate of
12,77S,75S made by experts in the Of
flee of Provost Marshal-General Crow
der, based on projections from Gen.
sus figures.
Texas was the last safe to report.
Its registration as announced tonight
by General Crowder was 521, 474,
against the original estimate of 546,-
1877.
The total announced today does not
include registrations received by mail
by local boards after September II
nor belated enrollments by men who
were absent from the country that
day. Including such cases, it is be-
lieved the actual figures will be APP
rroximately 100000. This will be
still further increased by the regis
trations in Alaska, Porto Rico and
Hawaii
With the figures compiled today,
the to.al number of men who have
been registered in the reservoir of the
selective service system since the
United States entered the war. includ-
ing those registered June 5, 1917, last
June 5, and August "a, and Sep.em-
Der II, is 23,456.021.

Whereas, we are aware that much

THE TREATMENT OF THE 4FLU-

Influenza is a serious disease Those
who have it should go to bed and stay
there in the care of physician until
well. All unnecessary exposure and
exertion are to be avoided
The germs causing influenza are
spread by the sputum and by the nasal
and mouth secretions of influenza pa
tients, convalescents and contacts, and
perhaps by the dust of rooms and the
street
Avoid unnecessary and unusual ex-
posture to crowds; avoid those who
are sneezing, coughing, expectorating
or talking directly in your face.
The attendants should wear over
the mouth and nose a mask made of
several thicknesses of gauze inclosing
a wad of cotton. They should avoid
in all possible ways coming in con-
tact with the sputum The hands
should be washed frequently with
soap and water and an antiseptic So
luton. The sputum is to be collect
ed in suitable paper or metal con-
tainer and burned or otherwise dis
infected
Frequent cleansing of the mouth
and spraying the nose and throat with
some simple antiseptic solution, such
as Dobells solution, or even washing
the nose with water to which little
salt is added. are useful in prevent
ing or in modifying influenza infec-
ton.

TWO KINGS SUBJECTED
A PEOPLE TO CAPTIVITY
Lord Bacon Says at Is A Strange De-
sire Which Men Have To Gain
Power And Lose Liberty

Twenty-Five hundred years and more
ago one of the greatest of ancient
kings, as men style greatness-con-
quered and subjected a great people to
captivity. He made a God of his own
for all men to worship. All people,
nations and languages trembled and
feared before him. Whom he would,
he slew; and whom he would, he kept
alive; and whom he would, he set
upon; and whom he would, he put
down.
WHAT CAME UPON HIM?
When he boosted of the great city
Babylon, Mistress of the World,
which he had built-while the word
was in the Kings mouth, there fell a
voice from heaven saying: 20, King
Nebuchadnezzer, to thee it is spoken;
the Kingdom is departed from thee!"
THE SCENE is CHANGED.
A great King as men style greatness
laid a plan to subject the nations of
the world to his dominion He over
ran. conquered and made captive the
people of one small nation after an
other. He worshipped and invoked a
peculiar God fashioned after his own
ideas, and thus he boasted:
"As | look upon myself as an in
strument of the Lord / am Indifferent
to the point of view of the present
day"
1.-THE King holds his power by the
grace of GOD, to whom alone he is
responsible. He chooses his own path
and only decides his actions from his
point of view"
There is only one law-my law
the law which l myself lay down.
The best word is a blow-the army
and navy are the pillars of state"
THE army and the EMPEROR at its
head can alone secure the safety of the
empire and the peace of the world"
THE foreigner has learned the con-
sequnces of offending the German EN-
peror"
1T is the soldier and the army, not
parliamentary majorities and votes,
that have welded the German Empire
together. My confidence rests upon
the army"
Thus he babe to the soldiers of his
army:
Body and soul you belong to me. If
l command you to shoot you fathers
and mothers you must follow my COM
mand without murmur"
