LOCAL BOAD FILE CASES
WOULD REACH $50 MILES

Although January Is marked the
end of the draft boards as public
agencies, their work is not finished.
Every letter that has ever been
written to the local board must be
examined and filed in the jacket
allotted to the papers of the regis
trant to whom it relates. In cases
where the correspondence relates to
two or more registrants, copies must
be made in sufficient numbers so
that each registrant whose name is
involved will have a copy in his file.
The task is heavy one, because
there are thousands of letters and
affidavits in the hands of the dis
trict board which have been sent
down and are being sorted, read,
copied, where necessary, and filed.
When this is done like accumula-
ton of literature from the depart
ment of selective service supervision
at Olympia must also be sorted,
copied and distributed in like man.
ner. Two or three months will be
required to clear up the correspond
ence feature of the work.
After the department has ex-
amined the cases and had all er-
rors corrected, the cases will be closed
and shipped to Washington. There
are nearly 5000 local boards in the
United States, each having an aver
age of some 30 filing cases. These
when filed weigh about 100 pounds
each : and will require more than
200 cars to carry them to Washing
ton. If these local board filing cases
were to be placed end to end across
the country, they would stretch over
$50 miles.
Looking up delinquents and those
who aided and abetted activities
which had for their purpose the de-
feat Of the objects of the draft
law, is to be part of the future
activities of the selective service de-
partment under the adjutant general
at Washington. The local boards
have had, perhaps, more opportunity
than any other organization to"spot"
those who were active in the spread
of propaganda to defeat the gov
ernment in the war. The district
board has sent letters and commune
cations regarding the registrants to
the local boards. The communica-
tions within the files of the local
boards contain interesting and re-
vealing information about the ac-
tivities of interested friends and
relatives who tried to exempt cer-
tain men from service.
But, in the meantime, if a plan
under consideration for some time
natures, each soldier will be sent
to the local board which entrained
him, there to be finally discharged
from the service. Under the law
the draft machinery ceases auto
matically to be operative four
months after the president issues
his proclamation of peace and it
may be the local boards will con-
tinue until that time.

Death can have no terrors for
those who, guided by Christ's teach
Ing, realize that ii is not humiliation,
but simply al interval between the
life OF constant warfare and the life
of unbroken peace, between the days
OF striving for unfading glory and the
actual enjoyment of that glorious hap
piness. IT is this comforting thought
that throws so bright light around
our existence on earth. What would
life be IL all ended with the grave
If the tomb were our final destiny?
But how different life appears
when IL is viewed in the light of the
Easter sunshine--ma a compound of
soul and body. the soul deathless by
its nature. and consequently called into
being for an endless existence, the
body subject by its nature TO the dis
integrating power OF death, but des-
tined by Gods supreme power and
love to rise again, even as Christ rose
from the dead, to rejoin the soul, and
thus, where fidelity and loyalty to
God have merited it, to spend an I'M
broken endless existence of complete
happiness and Of abiding joy.
This is the thought that makes
Easter pre- eminently the feast of vio-
tory: this il the thought that takes
the bitterness out Of the sharpest sor-
row, because the hope of eternal life
burns brightly above the deathhed OF
the sufferer: 1t shines above the hor-
rors of the railroad wreck or the COL
iiston at scat; 1t CLEANS above the
caved-in mine and the shattered aero
plane with its mangled pilot. Even
over the battlefield and the trenches
il filings its rays OF brightness as ii
whispers the message that the patriot
will receive his full reward in the
kingdom eternal. Yet to enjoy this
life of endless happiness we must walk
in 'newness OF life spurn the works
of darkness. and work unfalteringly
both for our moral Improvement and
for the moral advance of our fellow
men This Is the only road by which
the passing Easter of time can be
transformed into the abiding Easter OF
eternity"

Coroner's Inquest Reveals Ferry
Turned, After Signaling Tug,
to Avoid Transport
WANT PRE-WAR RULE BACK

Coroner Knight will confer with
Captain OF the Port c. A. Cochran,
asking that u deadline for anchorage
he re established in the Delaware of
the central part of the city, as in pre-
war days. as result of his invcstiga
tion into the collision between the tug
Caspian and the ferryboat Atlantic City
on November il
The crash cost four lives. and from
testimony offered at an inquest. which
began shortly before noon, it appeared
that the lack of such dcadlinc was
partly responsible.
Testimony offered included a report
into the accident made by the United
States steamboat inspectors, who have
suspended the license of the ferryboat
pilot G. n. Bond. for three months.
According to the report the ferryboat,
which was off Christian street on its
way to this city in Il heavy fog, sounded
two blasts Of its whistle, meaning that
it would turn to port. However through
the fog the transport West Gambo.
anchored near midstrCam. loomcd up
suddenly. To avoid colliding with the
West Gambo the pilot swcrvod tho
fcrryhoat to Starboard instead of TO
port. as he had sigualcd.
As the boat turned. its stern swung
directly into the path Of the steel tug
Caspian. which tore into it. killing
four men who were on the fcrryboat,
Coroner Knight points out that prior
to the war no ship was permitted to
