chase Italy out of Ethiopia and
restore this empire to its for

Pre-Pearl Harbor
Fathers In October

throughout the nation.
During a special press release re-
Gently, Colonel Lawrence w. Long
M. c.. state director of selective
service. reiterated the statement he
made last week relative to the in
duction in the State of Mississippi
of fathers with children.
When married men with children
are called will depend upon the
number of single registrants and
married registrants with wives only
who can be reclaimed for military
service with the armed forces. ac-
cording to statement issued by
the state director.
State Headquarters has ordered
the lot local boards of the state to
recheck all IV-F registrants and
those registrants classified as nee
essary men because of their occu-
patton to find out as to whether
any change has taken place rela-
tive to their status.
The success of the local boards
in reexamining the files of these
registrantss will determine in large
measure when it will be necessary
to induct fathers with children.
Mississippians have been out
standing in fulfilling their obliga-
ton to the nation in time TO war
which is placing their SERVES at
the disposal of the armed forces.
1t is estimated that if the local
boards and appeal boards will al
low registrants to do so by reclas-
slfication, there will be sufficient
manpower available to fill the
needs of the armed forces from Mis-
sissippi until January |, 1914, with
out disturbing many of this group
of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers.
Colonel L. w. Long, state direc-
tor of selective service, has analy-
zed the situation from that stand
point. Based on the quota of men
to be examined in the next five
months, it is hope that of the $500
IN class ia and lib, about 5000
would be released in an orderly
fashion; of the $4,000 in class lie
that 10000 would be replaced and
released; of the $4,000 in class 111-C
that 5000 would be replaced and
released; of the $4,000 now in IV-F
that 5000 would be reclaimed; of
| the 10000 unclassified and erron-
eously classified, delinquents, etc.,
that 5000 would be recovered. or a
total of $4,000 would be released
by requirements, reclamation. and
other means. The placement of
those non-reclaimable men now in
class IV-F physically and/or men
tally unfit for service in the armed
forces) into these essential Jobs
will release the required number
for calls made upon Mississippi by
the armed forces during the next
five months.
There are approximately 375,000
registrants between the ages of IS
to 38, of which $4,000 are pre- Pearl
Harbor fathers. 1t is estimated that
it will require so per cent, or ap-
proximately 10000 of these 375,-

pected to be the biggest and best
picnic ever given by this paper, a
picnic given for newsboys, Junior

the City's Sunday Schools, Boy
Scouts and children from the va
rious Fairgrounds, in fact children
all over the city.
This year the Picnic will be given
on the grounds of the Skating Rink,
Pocahontas Road, and the inside of
the building will be used for skat-
ing (bring your own skates) and
other forms of entertainment. Mu-
sic will be provided turnout the

All children are invited. Buses

sissippi Enterprise, 143 E. Monu-
ment ST., promptly at 10 o'clock, to

not care to come to this place, can
ride the No. 5 Bus and walk one

A large supply of free refresh
r1ents are being provided by The
Mississippi Enterprise and cooper
ating merchants and friends. These
