bon high school met defeat in their
game with the Atlantic team in this
city last Friday night. the score be-.
ing 80 to IA in favor of the visitors.
This was the first game of the sea-

they met defeat, they exhibited suf-
ficient ability to assure some meas
ure of success and victory during the
coming season. Both teams played
the game well. but Atlantic's star
player turned the trick. The visitors
were shown every courtesy possible
and will be given a right royal well
come any time they visit the city.
They were a nice, well behaved lot
of young men and won the admira-
ton of all by their clever playing.
Audubon has some good timber
in the team and as the season ad-
vances we may look for some stars
who will bring victory to the home
team. Here is the lire up of the

CHICAGO GETS IT'S
HEAD ABOVE SNOW

An army of workers estimated at
more than 100000, including some
10000 school boys. Monday resumed
the attack on the great snow drifts
which for As hours tied up railroad
| traffic in Chicago and vicinity, and
caused what the health authorities
termed an alarming shortage of fuel
and milk
Monday to permit the boys to shovel
snow.
Every one of the twenty-seven
steam railroads entering Chicago re-
sumed limited service Monday, but
officials stated that it would be at
least two days. before anything like
normal passenger schedules could be
established.
AS soon as each railway line was
opened efforts were directed to
bringing into Chicago fuel and milk
trains and 1t was announced no at
tempt would be made toward resump-
ton of passenger service on any reg
ular schedule until the shortage of
fuel and milk had been met. Every
ton of coal in the railroad yards was
confiscated by County Fuel Admin
strator Raymond z. Durham, and or
ders were given to the railroad COM
panies to divert what coal they had
on their tracks to the most avail
able yard or steam track Every
available motor truck or other sim
liar vehicle has been carried into SER
vice by the fuel administration for
the purpose of moving the coal. At
the rate the railroads had begun the
movement of coal trains it was thOt
that the fuel situation would be
quickly cleared.
Only few sections of Chicago were
supplied with milk Sunday and Mon
day.
The Union Stock yards began to
emerge from the huge piles of snow
that covered the pens and the switch
ing tracks within the stock yards
area. Stock trains began unloading
Monday with a semblance of usual
activity, but numbers OF the cattle
and hogs were found frozen in the
cars.
The exceptional drop in tempera-
ture which followed the snow and
wind brought its quota of trouble to
the Calumet and river and South Chi
cago harbofs, which are frozen over
for the first time in five years.
The huge packing plants of Ar
mour & Co.. and Swift & Co., were
shut down because of the inability
to obtain coal. The employees were
armed with shovels. and set to work
clearing snow from railroad tracks
entering the stock yards. Hundreds
of cattle and hogs are reported to
have persisted on stock cars because
the railroads were unable to move
them.

YOUNG men TO
Be REGISTERED SOON
All Young Men Who Have Become
Fl Since Last June to be
Included

At the request of the War Depart
! ment Tuesday Chairman Chamberlain
of the senate military committee in
troduced a bill for the registration of
all men for military duty who have
become 21 years old since June 5,
1917, when the draft law went into
effect.
Another bill which senator Cham
berlain introduced at the request of
the administration would provide for
furloughing national army men for
harvesting crops ano other agricul-
tural duty.
Another bill would put the quota
of the states on the basis of avail
on population.
In determining upon the registra-
ton of men who have become 81
since the draft law was enacted, the
war department has rejected any
plans to raise the age limits of the
draft to take in men over 81.
Registration of men VINO have be-
come of age since the draft law was
enacted, was referred to in the rec
ent report of Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder as one OF the means by
which supply of men for the ma
tional army might be assured with
out taking those who might have
others dependent upon them. 1t
could be done also the provost mar
shall general pointed out, by extend
ing the age limits above the present
line of 81. The war department has
adopted the first suggestion. 1t is
estimated that it would add about
100000 men to the draft availables
each year.
Congressman have been advised
that further legislation would be nee
essary to perfect and carry on the
draft. and the passage of senator
Chamberlain's bill with administra-
ton support is expected promptly in
both houses.
Another bill introduced by senator
Chamberlain would be a distinctive
badge or button for exempted men.
The bill changing the basis of the
state quota is believed to provide a
more equitable system as it will ex-
clude entirely enemy aliens from the
basis. Enemy aliens were included
there was much complaint. Heavy
enemy alien populations in some con-
gested districts forced Americans to
army duty regardless of exemption
claims to make up district quotas.
The bill to permit troops to go in
to agricultural work would merely
authorize the secretary of war to
furlough men for civilian duty. 1t
is known. however, that the war de-
partment intends to use the author
ity principally to provide men for
harvest time and other agricultural
work vital to the food supply.
To facilitate collection of private
insurance policies held by troops. an
other bill would require private in
surance companies to accept the Of
fetal army record as proof of death
among the army men insured. 1t
is designed to meet the cases of men
reported missing in which there is
no actual proof of death. In case of
payment by insurance companies up
on policies held by men reported as
missing and later appear, the bill
provides for reimbursement to the
insurance companies by the govern
ment.
Exemption of the government from
mobiles is the purpose of another
bill introduced by senator Chamber
lain to deal principally with the
large government purchase of auto
trucks.
