Draft Rulings

| The following is the substance OF
Selective Service or Draft ruling by
Provost Marshal General E. II.
Crowder just received by Adjutant
Geneal George Mel. Presson, the
provost marshal Of Maine:
The Selective Service Regulations
do not authorize local boards to re-
open cases and reclassify regis
trants arbitrarily and because they
90 not agree wieil the decision of the
district board. 1t is intended to re-
open cases when an injustice has
been committed or where boards
have misinterpreted or misapplied
the regulations. Any local board
which reopens a case and reclassifies
registrant simply for the purpose
of attempting to substitute it's judg-
ment for the judgment of the district
board is acting in violation Of the
spirit and intent Of the law.
Any additional or new evidence
considered by LEGAL boards, upon
which classification is asked or
granted, must be in writing, duly
verified and filed with the board with
certificate attached stating that
has not heretofore been submitted to
the local or district board and as
signing the reason for the failure to
procure and submit said evidence at
the time of filing the QUESTIONABLE.
If local board has reopened a
case and reclassified a registrant af-
ter receipt Of new evidence, it is not
necessary for the government appeal
agent again to appeal the case to the
district board, unless it is one Of a
class in which specific instructions to
do SO have been issued, or unless the
appeal agent believes the decision
erroneous.

SAYS BUSINESS IS
PICKING UP IN FRANCE
LETTER is RECEIVED FROM A
DAWSON BOY WITH RAIN
BOW DIVISION IN EUROPE.

Mr.. j. L. Lasseter has received the
following letter from Butler Thomas,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Ed Thomas
and one of three Dawson boys who
went with the Rainbow division to
France some months ago:
Somewhere in France. Jan. %.
19l8.-Dear Mr.. Lasseter: received
your letter today and it was read
with great pleasure, for letter from
home or a friend sure does cheer a
fellow up for a week or two, for the
weeks seem like months to us over
here. But business is picking up with
the American soldiers in France. Our
future does not look so prosperous.
but that does not worry me at all.
and II you were in my position you
could serve your country in a bet
ter spirit and heart, for I have real
lzed and seen the real touch of war
fare. | would like to tell you of the
activities of war time, but our mail is
censored and anything pertaining 20
the army is subject to be rubbed out,
so it is impossible for me to write
about the American army.
Homer Patterson, C. Lawhorn and
myself are here from Dawson in the
medical department, 151 NJ. C. Br.
The only thing we run short of over
here is American tobacco, but our
mothers and fathers supply us the
best they can.
LAS we are not in position to get
the news, will close for this time.
| hope you prosperous year, and
give my love to all of the family. AS
ever, DAVID c. THOMAS, 151 NJ. C.

The INCOME TAX MAN
IS HAVING A BIG RUSH HERE
Busy Every Minute of the Day. Ter
relI Citizens Paying Thousands
to the Government.

The special representative Of the
internal revenue department, Hon.
G. W. Adams, who came to Dawson
a week ago yesterday to give the
people information concerning the
income tax and assisting him in MAX
ing their returns, has been busy from
early morn until after dark every
day since he opened his office in the
court house
1t is estimated that approximate
ly $500 in income taxes has been
returned since Feb. 18th, nearly all
Of which was cash. This is from in
dividuals alone, nearly all Of whom
have not made income tax returns
before. Corporation returns will add
largely to this.
Mr. Adams will be in Dawson only
two days longer, until the night of
Feb. 28th, and it is certain that a
large number Of returns will not
have been made by that time.
By his uniform courtesy and IA
miliarality with the law Mr.. Adams
has been of great assistance to the
people in discharging this obligation
to the government, and his work here
is duly appreciated.

VIVIAN MARTIN, THE WINSOME
STAR, IN THE SUNSET TRAIL"
VIII Be at Palace Theatre Thursday
Evening of This Week.

Vivian Martin, the winsome Para
mount star, is known to the world
not only as a great actress, but what
IS perhaps a more unique distinction
as a famous cook. Miss Martin is
the author of the "Vivian Martin
Cooking Chatter" which was circu-
culated throughout the great news
papers of this country by syndicate
some months ago.
Her Latest Paramount photoplay is
'The Sunset Trail" a thrilling dra-
ma by Alice McIver, prepared for
the screen by Beulah Marie Dix. The
story has to do with Bess Aiken who
lives with her father and mother high
in the Californian mountains. The
mother, an ex-actress, tires of her
humdrum existence and leaves with
a new admirer, Treloar, whose neph-
eW Bess has also met.
Later when her mother invites Bess
to visit her she meets the young
nephew, Kirke, again. Soon after
that Camilla, the mother, is caught
in compromising position by her
husband and Bess makes the sacri-
flee of her own reputation to save
her mother.
How matters are eventually read
Justed is brought about in a most I'M
usual and unexpected manner. The
production, which abounds in excep-
tionally beautiful photographs was
made under the direction of George
Melford. 1t is to be shown on Thurs
day, Feb. 28th, at the Palace theatre.
