The newspaper asserts that the two
during the negotiations at Bucharest
acted in manner which abased their

unique knowledge of foreign lands was
placed at the service Of his country.

The crime of Mrs. Stokes was

OF a more idealistic patriotism than
to hold that if we are 10 live our

to foment other vars"
The constitution If the United

the war. the attorney argued. but
while there is liberty of speech that
liberty cannot be used to obstruct
the carrying on of the war. He held
that the mere fact that a picture of
war horrors or statements of war
profits might not increase the de
sire to fight. il nevertheless was not
illegal.

NEW DRAFT PLAN

proval of the order of Provost Mar
shal General Crowder amending
the draft regulations in so far as it
relates to idlers, gamblers and the
like, but said he believed the rule
more drastic than necessary to
meet present industrial conditions
IF all the idlers and others of
this class were put to work in Illi-
nois," Mr.. Cohen said, there would
be sufficient men to supply the
present requirements of industry
and agriculture We don't need TO
call women from the home now
We need only to put these idlers to
work.

gone too far in classifying as non
essential occupations for men such
positions as clerks in stores, pas

Washington, May 23.-Among the
kinds of employment listed as non
essential occupations in Provost
Marshal General Crowder's new
and far-reaching order giving the
choice of useful employment or in
duction into the United States mill
tary service are:
Walters. at hotels, clubs, restaur-
ants, etc.
Bartenders, at hotel bars, saloons,
clubs. etc.
Theatre ushers and attendants
of all kinds.
Passenger elevator operators, at

Attendants, at stores, clubs, no.

Clerks. in stores and similar
places of business and hotels, clubs,

Domestics, all employed in prl-
vate homes.
Entertainers; all persons en-
gagged and occupied in and in con-
nection with games, sports and
amusements. excepting actual per-
formrs in legitimate concerts. op-
eras or theatrical performances.
Fortune tellers, including clair
voyants, palmists and the like
Gamblers; including ali employees
and attendants of bucketshops. race
tracks and other games of chance
According to General Crowders
order. men who are engaged as
above or who are idlers. will not be
permitted to seek relief because of
the fact that they have drawn a late
order number or because they have
been placed in class 2, or 4. The
fact that he is not usefully employ
ed will outweigh both of the above
contentious. 1t is expected that
the list OF non-essential occupa-
tons will be extended from time to
time as necessity requires, so as to
include persons employed other
wise.
