vision next Tuesday, June 5.
These registration places will be
open from 7 o'clock in the morning
to 9 o'clock at night.
Warning that any efforts to discourage
registration would be promptly checked by
the law was Riven today by Frederick J
Shoycr, chairman of tho United States
registration board, In charge of tho work
In Philadelphia. Registrant who will take
tho names of tho men In tho 1336 polling
places of the city June 6 have been In
structed to proceed at once against any
cases of refusal to answer questions, he
fcald
"I have been told that the pro-German
Influence Is nt work In the city to thwart
tho registration ns much a3 possible," said
Mr. Shoyer, "but I. can say that measures
havo been prepared which will stop it
promptly The United States authorities
have put tho vvholo force of tho Govern
ment back of this registration, and for
those against whom this power must be
applied, It will be applied with dispatch.
"All the registrars hae been told that
their acceptance of tho Bervlro. .Tnm. r.
clothes them w Ith full power, and that they
may command the service of the army, the
navy, tho State and city police, and any
private citizen If necessary to help them In
their woik.

"Kurtheimore, any citizen who Is thus
called upon must assist the registrar as
directed, under penalties provided In the
act.
"Tho board Is not aware of any large
plan to work against registration, though
wo hao heard of sporadic outcropplngs of
sentiment against tho law. If these ten
dencies develop far enough to cause any
troublo tho Department of Justlco nnd the
city police will act without delay Reports
of disaffection are coming mostly from
ruiaitors In which there are large foreign
populations. Tho suggestion has been made,
and the board faors It. that tho clergy of
the city churches and particularly those
with foreign communicants, exlaln the duty
which binds men fiom twenty-one to thlrty
ono to register June 5. This can be done
on Sunday with great effect
Hoping to protect Philadelphlans from the
penalty they must pay If they arc Ignorant
of tho rules laid down for registration day,
next Tuesday, registration officials today
made announcements explaining the work
ing of the law.
Regarding Question 12 on the registration
card "Do you claim oxcmptlon from draft?
Specify grounds" It was said:
"Tho answer of 'Yes' to this question does
not exempt one from draft. The answer of
'So' Is no bar to making a claim for exemp
tion later. 'V
"All who desire exemption may claim It
beforo their respective exemption boards,
subsequent to registration, regardless of
the arfswers made by them to Question 12."
Answeis to Quesfcn No. 12 are Intended
to supply the central ofllce of the proost
marshal general with statistical data upon
which a rough estimate may be made of
the approximte number of persons who will
claim exemption. At present there is no
other sourco from which this Information
may be obtained.
In addition to the duty of registering
next Tuesday, Government officials called
on all men of draft ago to make themselves
volunteer Instruments for detecting per
sons who fall to present themselves. Sum
mary action will be taken with violators
turned up by these civilian secret service
men ,
Police here will be Instructed to demand
that men of draft ago shall show their
registration receipts aB an additional means
of finding slackers. A receipt will be
given to every man who registers before
he leaves tho registration place.
Service on the exemption boards will not
be a bed of roses, it was asserted by Mr.
Shovcr, who Bald, "If each of these boards
gets through without suspicion the numbers
will bo even above Caesar's wife.
CITY HELD POWERLESS
TO FIX TAXICAB RATES
Superior Court's Ruling Nulli
fies Move to Establish
Maximum Fare K;i
By deciding public motor vehicles are
common carriers tho State Superior Court
has raised a bar against the validity of a
bill pending In Councils to regulate taxi
cabs In this city.
The decision, handed down recently in
Scranton. In the case of Scranton Railway
Company against Flornecl, appellant, af
firmed an order Issued upon the latter by
the Publlo Service Commission, to compel
him to apply for a certificate of publlo con
venience for the Jitneys he operates. The
ruling means that the commission, and not
municipal authorities, can prescribe the
rates of fare to be charged for motor vehicle
service.
In the Philadelphia councllmanlc meas
ure, over which a subcommittee of the
Committee on Law has been haggling for
. long time, an attempt Is made to fix the
minimum taxlcab rates here at not more
than fifty cents for the first mile and
tenants for each additional quarter mile.
The attorney for a large taxlcab company
opposed to that, feature has been awaiting
the Superior Court decision to give that
section of the bill Its final quietus.
The publlo service act of July 26, 1913.
defines common carriers as "any and all
corporations or persons engaged for profit
In the conveyance of passengers or property
between points in this Commonwealth." A
subsequent act of assembly, June 1, 1915,
Blvea cities "power to regulate and license
certain motor vehicles."

WAR TAX ON SAUSAGE;
DOGGIE NOW AN ISSUE
Iowa Man Makes New Proposal
on Finances for Amer
ica's War
WASHINGTON-, M.iy 30.
Whether "FIdo" shall be taxed to meet
the cost of war or bo converted Into
sausage to meet the food shortngo Is a ques
tion which tho Senate Committee on Agri
culture must decide.
With great solemnity. Vice President
Marshall had read to tho Senate a letter he
reclved from A. F. Bonney, of Buckgrove,
la., suggesting that the Federal Government
could not only raise war taxes but conservo
food by taxing every dog from ?5 to $25 a
year
Instead of a button, such as the pur
chaser of a Liberty Loan bond gets to
wear on his lapel, Mr. Bonney suggested
that "Fldo" get a tinkling bell to wear on
his collar. That would serve as an insur
ance policy ngalnst death, too, for Mr.
Bonney proposes that every person should
have authority to kill dogs not wearing
bells.
After the letter had been read to tho
Senate, Senator Stone, of Missouri, ad
dressed the chair, and said:
"I wonder why It was not proposed In
this letter to use tho dog for sausage, and
thus help along tho general causo of .con
serving food."
Vice President Marahall announced that
In view of the fact tho question had to
do with feeding the nation, he would refer
It to the Committee on Agriculture and
Forestry, which has under consideration
food control measures.

GETS POST OF MAJOR
IN AMBULANCE CORPS
Paul Borda Kurtz, of German
town, in New Section
in France
ON DANGEROUS MISSION
Taul Borda Kurtz, of 607 West Manhelm
street, Germantown, son of William B.
Kurtz, banker, of H21 Chestnut street, has
been nppolnted adjutant major In tho new
Section No IS of tho American ambulance
corps In Franco, according to dispatches
received hero today.
Tho young American at last Is to get into
action, or at least Into tho thick of tho
fight. Section No. IS has been permitted
by tho French Government to go on a
particular dangerous mission. Each man,
Including joung Kurtz, volunteered.
Instead of driving ambulances hack of
tho llne, Kurtz nnd twenty-two other young
Amerlcnsis havo been helorted to drive
heavy ammunition trucks to tho extreme
front lines at tho front.
Tho roads over whlcn they travel arc con
stantly under fire Judging from all re
ports tho Germans, through airplane eyes,
know the munition trucks by sight, and every
effort li mado to blow them to ntonn. Offi
cers said that casualties among tho number
virtually would bo a certainty. On this
mission, at least, Kurtz will servo as a reg
ular French soldier.
Kurtz Is only twenty-thrco years old. He
Is a member of tho Germantown Cricket
Club, tho Harvard Club of tho Hasty Pud
ding Club of Harvard and several other
clubs.
Kurtz attended tho Friends' School In
Germantown, graduated from the DOjLancey
School and then went to Harvard Ho left
Harvard In 1915 and Joined the American
ambulance corps In France. Ho returned
after several months and finished his course
at Harvard last year He then made
straight for the battlefields In France once
more. fttf :i a tyff KIBH
Tho voung American recently wrote to
his parents and nsked their consent to Join
tho aviation corps. Ho wrote at the time
that owing to safety appliances and per
fected machines "aviation these days over
heru Is as snfo as driving a motorcar on
the .Chester pike."
"I feel that we owe a debt of gratitude
to Franco which raero unlimited credit can
never repay. I have done a lot of thinking
and have resolved that If the chance ever
came I would show them that there are
Borne Americans who could glvo their lives.
If necessary, as long as they knew they
were doing what was right.
"And the only right thing to do Is to get
Into the fight and do the duty wo have been
shirking so long.
"I have seen so much death and suffer
ing I really feel that If I could get Into
action once I would not care what hap
pened to me."
The young soldier's wish evidently has
been granted In recent letters he ex
pressed the hope of Joining the first Ameri
can forces to reach France as a lieutenant.
William B. Kurtz, the boy's father, Is one
of nearly.100 members of the Germantown
Cricket Club who are drilling on the club
grounds three times a week.
