Washington, May 13.-The thous-
ands and thousands of drafted men
in the National Army realize but little
how important part little woman
played in the great gamble which sent
them into the military forces.
When Senators and Congressman
and War Department officials sing
the praises of the draft system they
always mention Provost Marshall
General Enoch Crowder, Lieutenant
Colonel Hugh Johnson, Lieutenant
Colonel Allen Gullion and a few 9TH
"ers, but none of them seem to know
that Major Billy" Wellborn is a
mighty big factor in the draft machine
which is running so smoothly.
Major Billy" is little girl who
keeps the thousands and thousands of
rules and regulations for draft boards
running straight She is just little
girl and she lisps, but she has been
real major in handling one of the
most difficult tasks in this war.
When the plan of draft was first
announced there were few rules
and regulations laid down. Major
Billy" learned the rules and regula-
tons. New rules and new regulations
>were added every day as new situa-
tons and new cases came up, and
major Billy" remembered every one
of them.
The rules and regulations grew too
fast for the big officers to remember
them all and so they began calling
on Major Billy" for information and
she had it. The time has now come
when she is generally recognized as
the best informed person in Wash
lngton on the draft system. There
isn't anything about it that she does
not know.
Anxious mothers write to find out
when their sons will be called in the
draft. Indignant fathers want to
know why their sons, who work six
days week, have been drafted while
that boy across the street still
lounges in the corner pool ROOM"
John Jones is going to be called next
month and he wants to know what
clothing he shall wear. Billy Smith
was married the day the draft law
was passed and he wants to know
whether he is entitled to exemption.

Endless Rules and Regulations Of Draft
Known to One Little Girl.---" Maior Billy''

All of these questions come in
Hoods, by word of mouth or by letter.
Major Billy" answers them ali and
answers them right away, because she
knows all about the draft regulations.
Secretary of War Baker can't COM
mission women in the Army, but if
he could it is a safe bet that General
Crowder would ask for commits
sion for Major Billy" Her associates
have given her the recognition of her
ability, however, because they have
dubbed her Major" Lieutenants.
captains, majors, colonies and even
brigadier-general all salute Major
Billy" as one of them.
All of this is written after observa-
ton, and there isn't a quote in this
story from Major Billy" because she
refuses to be quoted, but just the
same her associate officers will tell
all about her efficiency. She is only
little girl, of the pretty type of our
mothers, and her lisps and her little
touch of Southern twang are mighty
harmonious to the ear. She bushes,
too.
Major Billy" always signs her
name wv. Wellborn." 1t is strongly
rumored, though, that her parents
christened her Wilhelmina Wellborn.
but the officers in the Judge Advocate
Generals Office just call her Major

GUARDING LIBERTY BONDS.
Wild Cat Stock Promoting Schemes
Will Be Checked BY Secretary McAdoo.

Washington, Dec 3.-A method of
restricting fraudulent or highly spccula-
tive stoc promoting schemes. involving
the trading of these securities for Liberty
bonds, has been devised hv the Treasury
and may be put into effect soon to protect
the millions of Liberty bond owners
against loss. In effect, the Treasury :
plan would be a sort of national blue
sky operation, by which promoters
would find their businesses subject to
close scrutiny of the Government Those
found suspicious or Of actual fraudulent
nature might be barred from accepting
Liberty bonds IN payment for their Sc
curities through the Governments re-
fuSal to grant them operating licenses.
The authority for this plan is given
In the provision in the Fourth Liberty
Loan act empowering the President 10
Investigate and regulate by means of
licenses or otherwise transactions in
Liberty bonds or certificates of indebt-
edness for two years after the procla-
nation of peace.
The law was based on the belief that
after the war hundreds of promotion
schemes would spring UP TO offer stocks
and bonds for development projects In
exchange for Liberty bonds This ,itua-
ton is now developing. according 10
reports 10 the Treasury. Numerous or
ganuations have been formed 20 float
stocks for oil or mining developments
and other propositions, and many of
them have circulated alluring advertis-
ing pamphlets offering to accept Liberty
bonds in payment for shares OF their
stock, which, it IS claimed, will pay 4
higher rate OF interest.
The Tressury's tentative plan for re-
striction of fraudulent stock propositions
would effect only dealings in Liberty
bonds or other Government securities,
and would not prevent promoters from
selling their securities for cash.
