ton of Records to lndivid-
uaI Organizations.
SETTLES LOCAL DISPUTE

Decentralization Of the ten local ex-
emption boards of the District at pres
ent centralized at the District building
has been decided upon.
The office of the provost marshal
general, acting upon a suggestion from
Commissioner Brownlow and Acting
Adjt. Cen. Donovan for the District;
has authorized the decentralization Of
the boards and approved restoration
to the individual boards of all records
and missionaries.
The step is taken in preparation for
the registration early in June of all
young men in the District who have
attained the age of twenty-one years
since last registration day.
Decentralization, however, probab bly,
will settle the dispute which has ex-
quarters at the District building and
members of local board for division No.
3. located at the city post Office.
Objections by Board No. 3.
Members of board No. several
months ago refused to agree to the
centraliza ton scheme and declared that
they would resign rather than give up
their records.
AS a consequence. board No. 3 is
still located at the city post office. and
the decentralization order will there
While the purpose Of the restoration
act is to facilitate the new registra-
ton, it is believed that by the order a
peaceful settlement of the difficulty
which has existed between central
headquarters and No. 3 board will be
arrived at.
In all probability when decentraliza-
ton has been completed there will be
no further efforts at Capitalization in
Washington.
District Building Suggestion.
1t is known that the suggestion of
decentralization here came from the
District building, which originally
preached the Capitalization plan. This
suggestion anticipated an order which
was to have been issued by Provost
Marshal Gen. Crowder. ordering the de-
Capitalization of boards In Washing
ton. Detroit and some other cities
where such Capitalization had been
carried out.
In an informal manner centralized
headquarters in the other cities will be
split into their component unit boards
again to facilitate the coming registra-
ton of all young men who have reached
their majority since last June S.
1t is probable that the boards for local
draft divisions now centralized at the
District building will be put back into
the quarters they originally occupied in
schoolhouses and at police precinct sta
tions throughout the city last June S.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Beeson

Hundred and Sixty-eighth infantry,
in France. He was manager of the
David Cook Publishing company,
Omaha, before going into the serv-
ice. He served with Pershing on
the Mexican border and when the
United States entered into the war
with Germany. enlisted for over
seas service. The letter follows:
Dear Rae and Edward-Condi-
tons are not very good for letter
writing, but | ain going to begin
with last spring and give y ou brief
history of events so far as they
concern me since l hit this side Of
the deep.
Il landed in England in Decem-
Der and spent week there, saw a
few interesting things such as one
of the Oldest cathedrals in the
world, the Round Table of King
Alfred's time and a few such.

in June, and after fddling around
for short time, moving from place
to place, we landed on the Cham
payne front and got nicely settled
before having to stop the fifth Ger
man offensive of July IS, which we,
with others, of course, did to a
nicely. After our work was done
there we moved again and this
time landed on the Soissons-Chat-
eau Thierry front where we did our
part toward wiping out that salient.

AUTO SHOW is

SAYS POWELL
Sufficient New Models May
Be Ready in March Because
of New Government
Regulations.

The removal by the government,
of certain .non-war industry re-
strietions may make possible the
holding of the annual Omah> auto
mobile show late in February or
early in March, according to Clarke
Powell. president of the Omaha All
tomobile association.
1T is known that many manu-
facturers whose factories were en-
gagged in war work have neverthe-
less been designing 1919 models,
said Mr., Powell. While it will
take some thine to readjust condi-
tons, especially, among factories
which have been doing 100 per cent
war work, it is highly probable that
a sufficient number of new cars will
have been manufactured early in
the year to permit the holding OF
the big Omaha show"

advices by wire which will &C

The holding of the national shows

cumstances the national shows
may be held at later date to give
the factories a chance to get out
