THE ALAMANCE GLEANER 10 GALL DRAFT AGE 111 llilll LIMIT UNLIMITED POWER TO PRESI DENT TO INCRKMSE ARMY TO SIZE HE BEES FIT. EVERY MAN TO WORK OR FI6HI Drastic Amendment to Selective Serv ice Law Touching Habitual Idlers and Non-Useful Workers. Washington.—Two Important steps were taken toward perfecting the task of putting the nation on a war basis. Soon after Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder had promulgated a drastic amendment to the selective service regulations requiring every man of draft age to work or fight, Secretary Baker appeared before the house military committee and asked that President Wilson be authorized to call to the colors all men of draft age who can be equipped and trained. The committee promptly and unani mously voted the authority Into the army appropriation bill about to be reported to the house. Under existing law power is given to draft one million fighting men, In addition to special units. This limit soon will be reached with men con stantly going into camp to replace those sailing for France as fast as ships can be provided to take them. General Crowder's new regulation is far-reaching in scope and touches not only habitual Idlers, but also re quires that draft registrants now in occupations held to be non-useful seek new Jobs or take their places In the army. Clerks In stores, waiters, bartenders, employes at places of amusement, passenger elevator men and other employes around hotels, clubß and business buildings as well as gamblers, fortune tellers and race track and bucket shop attendants all fall among those classed as non-use fully engaged. Enforcement of the rule Is expected to add some men to the army and to do a more Important service in Improving the labor situa tion In essential Industries. The house military committee's ac tion after hearing Secretary Baker completed the army bill, with provi sion for the»pay of 3,000,000 men and with ordnance appropriations on the basis of an army of 4,000,000. The measure will be laid before the house carrying a total of $9,569,129,000 of actual appropriations, jind authoriza tion for contracts amounting to $2,- 464,416,090. more May Mean Five Millions. Mr. Baker told the committee In executive session the President's rea sons for asking that no . limit be placed upon the number of draft men t) be called . Members said later It was estimated that an army of 6,000,- 000 could be raised without changing the draft agei. The new regulation also will af fect the following classes: "(a) Persons engaged In the serv ing of food and drink, or either, in public places Including hotels and so cial clubs. "(b) Pan«engar elevator operators and attendants, doormen, footmen and other attendants of clubs, hotels, stores, apartment house* office build lngs and bath houses. "(c) Persons, Including ushers and other attendants, engaged and occu pied in, and in connection with games, sports and amusements, excepting ac tual performers in legitimate eon certs, operas or theatrical perform ances. "(d) Persons employed In domestic science. . "(e) Sales clerks and other clerka employed In stores and other mercan tile establishments. "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, 3 or 5 on the grounds of dependents. The fact that he is not usefully employed wIH out* weigh both of the above conditions." PLEA OF COUNT MINOTTO DENIED BY FEDERAL JUDGE Chicago.—The plea of Count Jamei Mlnotto for freedom on a writ.of hab eas corpus from internment on a Presidential warrant was denied by Federal Judge Carpenter. The Judge withheld reading of the decision to al low the count to pass a night with his wife. Countess Ida May Swift Mln otto, daughter of Louis K. Swift.

Washington.—Some Indication of the ceaseless watch kept on the high seas. In the path of American troopships, by United . States naval forces operating In European waters, may be gained from statistics Just compiled at the naval headquarters In London. These statistics show that a single force oS American destroyers operating from one base had steamed almost 1,500,000 miles up to April 1. The maximum distance covered by a single destroyer was more than 580,000 miles from May 1, 1917. to April 1, 1918. This de stroyer was one of the first to arrive abroad after war was declared. It has been announced that Vice Ad miral William S. Sims, commanding United States naval forces abroad, of fered to send an auxiliary force com posed of naval unfts to the French front at the beginning of the German offensive. The chief of staff of the French nnvy and General Foch did not consider that the circumstances de manded the presence of such a force at the front. The French have hnd a naval divi sion operating In the forces of the Lor raine sector for some time, and the naval units have made their part of the line as shipshape as possible, with everything from big naval guns down to sleeping hammocks and ships' cats. The American soldiers billeted In England for temporary training or en route for France are more and mora compelling the admiration and co-op eration of the English people. The National Sporting club of London has started a series of weekly entertain ments for enlisted men of the United States army and navy. .To secure prompt and thorough In vestigation of Inventions submitted to the war department an "Inventions sec tion" has been created. All Inven tions of a mechanical, electrical, or chemical nature submitted for Inspec tion, test, or sale are now considered by this section. Any person desiring to have an In vention considered should do so by letter, giving In order the following In formation: Name and object of the Invention, any claim for superiority or novelty, any results obtained by actual experiment, whether the Invention Is patented, whether remuneration Is ex pected, whether the Invention hns been before any other agency, whether the writer Is owner or agent, the number of lnclosures with the letter. A" written description and sketches or drawings of sufficient detalPto afford a full understanding of the cases should also be submitted. Should the invention be an explosive or other chemical combination the Ingredients and processes of mixture should be stated. " The Inventions section will not bear the expense of preparation of draw ings and descriptions, nor advuuc* funds for personal or traveling ex penses by Inventors. Any matter submitted will Re treat ed as confidential. The Inventor will be notified of each step taken during the lnvestigatlbn of his Invention. All communications should be addressed: Inventions Section, General Staff, Army War College, Washington, U. C. All newspapers have ngaln been urged by the navy department, through the committee on public Information, to discontinue the publication of news items and advertisements which may In any degree indicate tho location or movement of vessels. This notice has not been Issued be cause of new circumstances endan gering ocean shipping—none has arisen—but because It Is felt that vol untary censorship has not yet achieved the fullest measure of essential se crecy In the protection of merchant shipping. The notice asks that all references to names of ships, dates of sailing and arrival, Information of routes, schedules, cargoes, location and movement of ships bo deleted from news and advertising copy. There are now 20 uniforms for wom en In war work In the Dnited States. They are for munition workers, tele phone and radio operators, yeomen, employees of the shipping board and the food administration, Ited Cross workers, Y. M. C.

American prisoners of war In Ger many are entitled to receive and send letters, money orders, and valuables, and parcel post packages weighing not more than 11 pounds, when intended for International mall, free from all postal duties. Mall should be addressed to the pris oner of war, giving his rank, the name of the prison camp where he Is held, If It Is known, followed by "Prisoner of War Mall via New York." All such mall should also bear the name and address of the sender. Parcel post packages for prisoners of war in enemy countries may not be sent by organizations or societies, and only one package a month may be sent. If more are received the ono apparently from the prisoner's next of kin will be forwarded and the others held In New York pending communi cation with the senders, with whose consent such excess packages may be sent to other prisoners of war who had received no packages during the month. Lacking this consent, the pack ages will be returned to the senders. Only the following articles may be Included In the packages: Belts not majje of leather; hair, hand, tooth, shaving, and shoe brushes; buttons; hard candy; cigars and cigarettes; combs; crackers and biscuits; gloves not made of leather; handkerchiefs; pocket knives, needles and thread; pencils and pens; penholders; plnsj pipes; safety razors and blades; shav ing soap, powder, or cream; shirts and scarfs; shoe laces; smoking or chewing tobacco; toilet soap; socks; sweaters; tooth powder, paste or liquid mouth wash; towels; under wear; personal photographs; periodi cals published prior to tho beginning of the war. Letters and packages wilt be sub ject to careful censorship. Military Instruction under officers and noncommissioned officers of the army will be provided In every Insti tution of college grade which enrolls for the Instruction 100 or more able-bodied students over the age of eighteen, beginning in September, 1018. Tho necessary military equip ment will, so far as possible, be pro vided by the government. There will be created a military training unit In each Institution. Enlistment will be purely voluntary, v The enlistment will constitute the student a member of the army of the United States, liable to active duty at the call of the president. It will, how ever, be the policy of the government not to call the members of the train ing units to active duty until they have reached the age of twenty-one, unless urgent military necessity compels an earlier call. Students under eighteen, and therefore not legally eligible for enlistment, will be encouraged to en roll In the training units. The London Economist for February places the total gross debt of Great Britain at 5,678,000,000, pounds ($'27,- 036,000,000). * The French minister of finance In presenting the budget for 1018 esti mated the public debt of France on December 81, 1918, at 115,100,058,000 franca (»22,227,000,r00). The public debt of Italy at the end of 1017 Is estimated at about 85,000,- 000.000 lire ($070,000,000). The debt* of the central powers are estimated as follows: Germany, $25,- 408,000,000; Austria, $13,314,000,000: and Hungary, $5,704,000,00. Our own public debt I* now around $8,000,000,000, but more than half of thl* amount has been loaned to the al lies. It Is estimated that of the total net expenditures of the United States for the fiscal year 1918, exclusive of our advance* to the allies, more than one-half will be defrayed by taxation, according to the treasury department.

ORDNANCE EQUIPMENT READY Every Soldier Lesvlng for Francs Hss Been Fully Outfitted American Merchants Take Over the Interests of Qerman Fur Men. (From CommltlM on Public Information.) Washington.—A zone system for the apportionment of purchases through out the United States and to facilitate distribution has been established by the quartermaster department. Terri tory has been allotted to each of 18 general supply depots. The general supply depot quartermasters are charged with the duty of ascertaining the manufacturing possibilities of their soncs. On the basis of reports along this'ilne forwarded to the acting quar termaster general, food and equip ment for troops at the different camps will be purchased within the cone In which the camp i\ located. Formerly nearly all of a particular class of supplies was purchased through a single general supply depot Other articles were obtained through other supply depots. Manufacturers In sections distant from the particular supply depot buying their goods were at a disadvantage, and were unable to compete with rivals nearer the point. Under the new system most classes of supplies will be purchased through each of tho 13 depots, and manufactur ers wMI be able to transact their busi ness through the depots nearest them. Each general supply depot quarter master besides ascertaining production facilities within his zone is Instructed to recommend to the quartermaster general's office the employment of such producers as are In his Judgment qual lflmljo fulfill contracts. Each depot Is expected to keep Informed as to market conditions and spot goods lo cated in that zone, and when short ages occur submit recommendations for purchase of articles which may be obtained within the zone. Purchases are to be made after sd vertlsement by open competitive bid ding when time will permit. In emer gency cases competition Is deslired whenever possible. The record of bids received and awards made will be open to public Inspection. The army ordnance department has thus far met every demand Imposed by the new program for overseas ship ment of American troops, according to a statement by the department. Des pite the great scceleratlon In tho send ing of American forces to France, no Infuntrymau goes aboard ship without a United Stutes model 1917 rifle (modi fied Enfield), bayouet, belt, haversack, pack currier, bandoleers, bayonet scabbard, and full mess equipment. Tonnsge Is todsy a limiting factor In the shlptnent of ordnance material overseas, especlslly because of the present netesslty of Increasing the transport of Infantry regiments. Sufficient supplies of artillery— French 75-mllllmeters and 135-mllll rneters and Amerlcsn heavy railway artillery—are already In France to meet the present demand. Sufficient machine guns are ulso Immediately available for American forces In France. A Cnnndlan order la council pro vides that no person, with the excep tion of manufacturer* of flour, bukers, confectioner*, wholesale or retail deal ers, or per*on* living at a greater dis tance than two mile* from a llcenned dealer, nhall hold or have In hi* pos *e*slon or under hi* control more flour, made wholly or In part from wheat, than la sufficient for hit ordinary re quirement* for a period not exceeding 15 day*.

Arrangements are being completed by which the lnUresta of German fur men. amounting to Mveral mlllloua of dollar*, will be purcbaaed by American merchant* and the money tbua paid turned Into the tre**ury. Before the war broke In Europe, ac cording to a statement Issued by the alien property costodlan, the trad* of American furrier* wa« practically noth ing but a collecting and ahlpplng agency for the Germans. Almost every pelt taken by American trapper* went to J/elpxlg before It could bojwld. Al; thougir TComlon" was the world's' mar ket, three-quarters of the fur shipped to London from America, Russia, and even China, went to Leipzig for dress ing and dyeing. The Leipzig dressers and dyers were recognized as the best in the world. Each year after the fir was prepared and German merchants had fixed the price, Americans wsre allowed to pur chase as much as three-fifths of the year's output for manufacture Into garments, but In so doing they were forced to pay the original cosfc- ex pense of dressing and dyeing, a big profit to the Germans, and a 80 per cent duty, before the furs were re turned to America. The war deprived Germany of the chance to purchase fur In London, and limited the supply from America — now also entirely cut off. According to the Leipzig correspond ent of a Chrlstlanla newspaper, the Leipzig spring fair showed exhibits of many substitutes and surrogates which have been placed on the market In Germany. Descriptions of some of these have been received by the Unit ed States chamber of commerce: A surrogate for pepper is offered for sale which, Judged only by Its nppear auce, seems almost the same as real pepper. The color, odor and taste have been surprisingly well Imltij/ed. A tea is shown to which the name of "German tea" has been given. It is prepared from any one or a combina tion of a great variety of plants, from strawberry leaves to linden blossoms. It Is said to taste very much like gen uine tea, but eveu a half dozen cups will not produce the stimulation caused by a single cup of real tea. There are any number of surrogates for murmatades. Most of them are prepared from garden vegetables In stead of from fruits, with a minimum amount of sugar. Substitute soap is offered for sale, whltfli Is said to have been prepared from the oil in berries and from pum ice stone. It lacks, however, the one main characteristic of sdap, that of working up Into a rich, creamy lather; otherwise It Is very good. Substitutes are also to be had for laundry blueing. Substitute bicycle tires are some times made of two concentric Iron rings with small springs between them. They are very serviceable on asphalt pavements, but are not exactly as noiseless nor as easy riding as geo ullia rubber tires. A large number of articles offered for sale hud bsen prepared largely or entirely from paper—coarse working clothes for men snd women, blouses, aprons, and other fsbrics. There were psper belts which seemed capable of driving heavy loads. Many artificial and substitute leath ers wore noticed. Brass snd eop|»er srtlcles were not seen, and attempts were made to pluce substitutes on the market In the form of plated wares. A committee on public Information representative In London suys: London has never heard of a base ball season before, but will get Its chuwu tills year when the/American baseball league gets Its schedule of games well underway. There are eight American ' and Canadian teams re cruited from various organizations sta tioned In London, with games sched uled for each Saturday during the summer. The thousands of American soldiers who may pass through London, or be Invalided or stationed here, are In a fair way to be made to feel that Eng land Is the next best place to home and that English hearts are kept warm for thein. "Make EnglWud the Sammy's 'bllglity,'" Is the way the English press puts It In urging readers to en tertsln the Amerlcsn troops. "Blighty" Is the war word for everything the soldier wants In Intervals of his fight ing work; ths place where friends, recreation, and homelike couifort await him. The Weekly Dispatch recently called for suggestions for a public entertain ment to be offered American soldiers and on Instant response made thou sands of dollar* available for amuses ment* and entertainments. The Idea that found greatest favor, however, wa* to throw open the homes of the nation to the Sammies. An officer commanding ail American squadron operating with the llrltlsli fleet has reported on a late Inspection and s|>euks In high terms of the pres ent stute of efficiency In which he flndn both ship* and men. "Vessel* show the most* gratlfylntr Improvement In battery and fire con trol," he said. "Our ships are smart, (pick and span, and have been recipi ent* of many high compliments from British flag officer*" Prior to the war the treasury pre pared approximately 150,000 checks annually for the payment of Interest on reglatered bonds of all loans.

BEMf RESUMES HER 818 OFFENSIVE CLAIM CROWN PRINCE'B ARMY HAS CAPTURED CHEMIN OEB DAMES RIDGE. DRIVE FOB CHANEL* PORTS It It ProbabU That Americana Are Engaged In the Fighting qn Both Fronts. Germany's great offensive on the western front has been resumed. With only brief artillery preparation, two blows have been struck by the Teu tou armies, which have been reorgan ized sine? disastrous losses were In flicted on them by the French and British during the Plcardy and Fland ers battles In March and April. One attack was on the line from Voormey lee to Locre, aputhwest of Ypres; the other on the 35-mlle front from Plnon, north of Solssons, to Rhelms. This la known as the Alsne sector. In Flanders the Germa>n« have gain ed virtually nothing, but farther south t|ie Berlin official statement claims the German crown prince's troops have carried the whole ridge of the Chemln des Dames and now are fight ing on ths Alsne river. Recalls Fearful Fighting. On the Alsne.front the present bat tle recalls the fearful fighting of laat summer along the Chemln des Dames, where for weeks the German crown prince hurled his men against tho French positions only to see them crushed snd beaten. Last yoar 75 di visions wore engaged in the German attacks along this line alone. The attack here Is reslly In the na ture of a llne-stralghtoulng operstlon. It is being launched from Laon as a center and Is aimed at the elbow In tho line formed during the fighting In Plcardy In March and April. Here, however, the Germans must face per manent works which have been occu pied by the French for long periods and which can be defended quite easily. Evidence that the allied supreme command was forewarned of ths new German attack may bo found in the tact that British troops aro lighting there. Up to the present, it had been believed that the British forces did not hold positions much south of the flomme, eaat ot Amiens. PRESIDENT PUTS END TO QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT Washington. President Wilson ended discussion over whether Con gress shall stay In Washington this summer to enact new revenue legisla tion by appearing before the house snd senate lu joint session and Calling upon members to put aside politics snd all other conslderstions to provide money for nrowlng war expenses and to advise the country In advance of the tax burdens It must meet. Just as the President was leaving the White House for the capltol word came that the German drive against the west front had been r'enewed. He gave his visit a dramatic touch by announcing this news as ho concluded his prepared speech, saying It strengthened the purpose he had tried to express. The demand that, with the war at its "pesk and crfsls," Congress do Its duty at home as the soldiers are doing their duty In the trenches overseas, brought inatant acquiescence.
