Ski Tow Planned
At New Germany,
Says Buckingham

Skiing at New Germany this winter
will be more enjoyable by the installa-
ton of a tow on the Otto slope, it
was announced by District Forester
H. c.. Buckingham
Buckingham said that Sam Otto,
farmer-owner of the popular New
Germany slope, has started work on
installation of tow and expects to
have it completed shortly after the
first of the year.
The tow will be approximately 700
feet in length and will run from the
bottom of the slope to the summit,
a rise of some 200 feet, according to
Buckingham.
The forester pointed out that skiing
is more important than ever during
the war crisis as it does much to keep
city-dweller devotees of the sport in
tip-top condition.

Draft Expansion
Bill Is Signed
By the President
Selective Service Officials Make
Plans to Register
23,500,000 Men

The draft expansion bill was signed
into law by President Roosevelt
Monday, and Selective Service Of
ficials began laying plans for regis
tering the 23,5OO,0O0 men between IS
and "a, inclusive.
They said the men may be regis
tered on several dates, by age groups,
rather than en- masse. 1t was believed
the first registration might be next
month Registrars between the ages
of 20 and "a, inclusive, will be liable
to military service.
Already local boards have been
advised by Brigadier General Lewis
NJ. Hershey, national draft director,
to prepare to tackle the task of clas-
styling the vast additional man power
made available by the measure.
Existing machinery, used to regis
ter and classify according to elgi-
bility for military service the H.
100000 men between 81 and 35 al
ready enrolled, is to be employed and
expanded as required.
No hint has been given by the War
department as to how fast the armed
forces are to be expanded to meet
war requirements. Secretary Slim
son has said only that strategic con-
siderations would dictate the expan-
sion.
Some officials thought, however,
the armed forces might be increased
at a maximum rate of 100000 a
month, beginning in January, until
additional mobilization and training
camps are provided.
A reservoir of approximately ,00o,-
600 Class IA men under % already
is on call from the previous two
registrations.
The army now totals nearly 2,000,-
600 men. Official plans submitted to
Congress before the war emergency
contemplated expansion to some
100000 as the next stage of build
ing up ground forces, and appropri-
atoms for Critical" weapons were
voted with this plan in view.

Former Stock Yard
Manager Apprehended
c. C. Show Being Held in Somer-
set, Pa. - Garrett County
Wants Him to Answer
To Indictment

C. c. Show, of near Confluence,
and formerly manager of the Acct
dent Stock Yards, has been appre-
hended by Somerset county, (Pa.l
authorities, at the request of Garrett
county officials.
Show was indicted at the 1871
March term of the Garrett county
Grand Jury on charge of obtaining
goods under false pretense by means
of worthless checks. He left the
county before being apprehended and
has been sought since that time.
Neil C. Fraley, States Attorney,
said he also left the state of Pennsyl-
vania for some time but recently re-
turned to that state.
Show has refused to waive extra
dition proceedings to get him back
into Maryland where he must stand
trial. Mr.. Fralcy will request Cover
nor O'Conor to request the governor
of Pennsylvania to release the man
to local authorities.
He was arrested Saturday night
and is now in the county Jail at Som
erset, Pa. He is alleged to have given
many farmers worthless checks in
payment for stock brought to the Ac-
cident Stock yards and consequently
sold at auction.

Latest Figures Place
Deer Kill at 295

Latest figures on Maryland's deer
kill of the hunting season recently
ended, released by the State Game
and Inland Fish Commission, place
the total at 295, twenty more than
reported last week.
Of this number 1862 were killed in
Garrett county, 48 in Allegany coun-
ty, II in Cecil county, 50 in Wor-
cester county, and 16 in Washington
county.
The total, made under the most ad-
verse conditions, compares with the
bag of hunters in 1910 Of 375 legal
bucks.
The siX-day hunting season this
year was the longest devastating pc
Rod since the killing Of deer was
banned throughout the state back in
1912. Until 1881 deer were fully pro-
tected by law, but that year the sea-
son was opened in Western Mary
land for a brief period,
Last year there was tracking
snow in this area which made diff
ference in hunting. This year the con-
ditions were reserved, an absence of
snow and the effect Of dry spell in
full force. The combination made the
still hunting of deer in the wooded
sections almost impossible as dried
leaves and twigs disclosed every move
Of the hunters long before they got
within range of their quarry.
