FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
AFTER DRAFT SLACKERS
Many Granted Deferred Class.
i6caion No Longer Entitled
to Exemption

Portland, Or, June 19.-Federal au-
thorities are getting ready to institute
merciless campaign to run down and
punish a new form of draft Stacker.
This new Stacker is the draft regis
trant who was granted deferred elias
sifieation at the time of his registra-
tion, but whose status since has so
changed that he no longer is entitled
to exemption, yet who remains silent
about his change in the hope it will
be overlooked.
There are estimated to be hundreds
of such cases in Oregon, and thousands
of them in the United States. Suspi-
cion particularly has been directed
against a great many of the deferred
elassifieations granted for industrial
reasons.
1t now appears that the status of
many of these men is not the same as
when they were granted deferred elias
sification. Yet they have failed to no.
tify their local boards and continue to
enjoy exemption from military serv-
ice. In some cases, also, the original
classification was not justified.
Many cases where deferred classifi-
cation was granted for dependency al
so have changed in status, but the reg
istrant has not notified his local board
With the time at hand when the
lneed for manpower is so urgent that
every available man must either fwork
or fight" and when the lower classi-
fications are to be revised in order to
make more men available for class l,
this form of evading military service

The draft regulations are very plain
and blunt in prescribing the penalty
tor failure on the part of man grant
ed Deferred classification to notify his
local board at once if his status is
changed.
Z" Every registrant shall, within five
days after the happening thereof, re-
Iport to his local board any fact which
might change or affect his classified
tion," says section ll6 of the regula-
tions.
"Failure to report change Of status
as herein required, or making false
report thereof, is a misdemeanor pun
ishable by one years Imprisonment. 4"
The campaign to run down these
draft slackers will be started very
soon, and it will be a rigorous cam
Ipaign' Men guilty of evading military
service by failure to report when they
should be re-elassified, need look for
no mercy.
"Every patriotic registrant who has
been granted deferred classification,
but whose status has changed so that
he is no longer entitled to that CLASH
fication, wild report the change imme-
diately to his local board" said Cap
tain John Z. Cullison, in charge Of the
execution of the draft law in the Of
flee of the adjutant general,
"Those who have not the patriotism
to report voluntarily will gain nothing
by it. They will be found out and not
only re-classified, but will be subject
to severe punishment.
eff man is in doubt as to change
of status, he should see his local board
about it without delay"

CONTRASTS IN RAID PICTURE.

The archbishop of Canterbury was
conducting an induction service at
Lambeth when an aerial lombard
ment began, but no interruption oc-
Cured, says the Manchester Guardi-
an. The service went on as if no
danger threatened. A clergyman
who was present says that after the
service the archbishop and his pro-
cession of clergy withdrew to the
shelter in one of the old Norman
towers of the palace, and there re-
mained for a time. One likes the
color and contrast of the picture
the ancient background of the pal
ace, the archbishop and clergy in
their traditional robes, and overhead
a armament of modern warfare
which would have made the stoutest
Norman heart quake with the fear ol
black arts.

Must Have License

The average druggist IS prob.
ably somewhat surprised to
know that he must have a Unit
ed States license for the sale of
explosives. Such a req ulrement
has been found necessary by the
government.
Many of the drugs commonly
sold in the stores are also uned
as ingredients of explosives. If
no restrictions were placed on
the sale of drugs, the man who
could not get explosives directly
could buy the materials at the
drug store and make the explo
sives himself.
Under the law, druggists will
be requirek to keep a record of
each sale of certain drugs above
a certain very small amount.

WOMEN NOW TRACTOR PILOTS
Female Labor Utilized Extensively in
England to Operate Big Machines
American Girls Drive Plows.

According to government reports,
the drawing off of large numbers of
men for work in munition factories
and for the army and navy already
has created serious labor shortage
for agricultural work which can only
be made up by the employment of
women; observes a London CORE
spondent. That this is inevitable
is proved by the experience Of Eng
land, where today it is mandatory to
employ at least 70 per cent of fe-
male labor in all industrial plants,
and where the need for the use of
women to work on farms and the
adaptability of tractors for use by
women have been demonstrated.
That women in Great Britain are
now operating tractors was brought
about by an organization known as
the Woman's legion, headed by the
marchioness of Londonderry, which
has been training women to operate
these machines. Under the auspices
of the Woman's legion large num-
ber of tractors are now being used in
the counties of Rutland. Hampshire,
Worcester and Northamptonshire.
The tractors pull four bottoms and
pillow from five to six times the acre
age done by team in the same time.
American women in various parts
of the United States are now operat-
ing farm tractors. A number of en-
ergetic American girls have been
driving tractors on the land of the

from Texas, New Mexico, Okla.

Reports from 10 large cities
indicate good market demand
for cottontail and jack rabbits,
with Wholesale prices ranging
from So to SIS dozen for cotton
tails and from ST. to So a dozen
for jack aabbits, depending up
on size and quality and distance
of market from supply. The in
creased demand for rabbits this
winter In some cities is due, say
dealers, to meatless days and the
high prices of meats and poultry.

Until The End of The War

An incident worthy of mention
has come to our notice: Field
glasses, new, are almost impos-
sible to obtain, and the govern
ment recently issued an order,
asking that patriotic citizens
who have field glasses, loan them
for the period of the war. A few
days before Capt. E ], McMeel
returned to camp, he remarked
that he needed a pair of field
glasses aud that he did not know
where to could procure a pair.
Some one knew that D. E
Ballard, who formerly livedhere
owned pair. Mrs. Bellamy,
his daughter, stated that they
we're in her possession, but that
she would prefer to have her
fathers consent before loaning
them. A night letter to Mr.
Billiard, who is spending the win
ter in Florida, was answered by
"alright". A plate with the
following was made and placed
on them: Property of Alice
Ballard Bellamy, Meade Kansas.
Loaned to the United States
Government until the close of
the war. Entrusted to Capt.
e. J. McMeel for his personal
use. To be returned after the
war;" The glasses, if bought
now would cost $4,000

The problems which are presenting
themselves are numerous and diff.
cult. Problems which would ordinarily
arise In peace times are now enlarged
by the absence of one or more of the
members of the family and are made
more complicated by war conditions.
Not only Is relief needed In many
cases, but prompt advice and informa
tion is of tremendous concern to these
families. Mails would be flooded, the
work of military and federal authori-
ties would be hampered, and families
would be in anxiety and distress were
1t not for the fact that Home Service
Sections OF the Red Cross have cstab-
lished an information service to an
swer all questions. Among other
things, they are equipped with ac-
curate information regarding the rates
of pay Of various classes of enlisted
men, the proper form of addressing
mail to them, the condition Of dis
charged men and the provision for
after-care of disabled men, the proper
procedure for securing allotments and
allowances, the protection Of civil
rights of men in the service, rules
and regulations in connection with the
soldiers and sailors Of our allies. the
shipment and burial Of deceased men,
and a multitude Of other matters
which are so vital to the comfort and
welfare of the family. Every new law
and regulations is promptly communi-
Gated to the Home Service Sections.
Most Of these sections include one or
more lawyers who can give advice on
the most technical questions.

an attorney, claim agent or other per
son to secure the benefits to which
family is entitled under the law Of
Oct. s, 1917. The Civilian Relief De-
partment of the Southwestern Division,
anticipating the activities of unpa-
triotic lawyers and claim agents. ad-
vised all of its Home Service Sections
several months ago to prepare them
selves for this kind Of service, and the
sections have announced to their re-
spective communities that they are
prepared to give the families all neces-
sary information should death or In
jury occur to loved one. The Home
Service Section can tell what fnan-
cial compensation will be made to
the family, how It can be obtained and
will supply the necessary forms on
which to make application. Thus
every dollar to which the family is en-.
titled for the government will be re-
