PRISON BY TONIGHT,
FATE OF SLACKERS
WASHINGTON. June 12
Acting on orders sent out by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, Federal agents
throughout the nation nre today arresting
all men between the ages of tvvent-one
and thirty, both inclusive, who cannot show
registration cards They are expected to
be In Jail by tonight
The week of grm e allowed those who
failed to register for the draft last Tues
day through misapprehension or other un
foreseen circumstances has expired Such a
period of leniency was not contemplated In
the original registration plans, but was
made necehary by the large number who
failed to register Juno 5
Attorney General Gregory was unwilling
to believe that the failure of more than
1,000 000 men to register was due to oi
ganlzed opposition to th draft, but now
that a week has passed It has become evi
dent that thore who have not registered do
not Intend to do so. They will now be han
dled without gloves
Complaints to the Department of Jus
tice from those who have registered that
"quitters" were being permitted to go about
their buiineis unmolested and that the
burden on those who have registered Is In
ueascd. the million who have not have
stirred the department t vigorous nctlon
By nlghttall a great number of slackers
will have been taken Into custody, of
ficials of tho provost marshal general's
office predicted Each man will have an
other chance to register before helng ten
tenced under the registration laws.
Total registration will be approximately
0,250,000, according to revised figures given
out by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
This number Is mor- than 1,000,000 below
tho original census estimate
Revision of the figures was made when
Pro' ost Marshal General's office realized
that In using census figures officials did not
take Into account the fact that about 600.000
men of eligible age already had volunteered
for srvlce In the regular army, national
guard navy and marine corps
Another factor In the revision was be
lated leallzation that Census Bureau esti
mates made previous to the war rflld not
take lno account the fact that In the pist
threo years Immigration has virtually
stopped
While officials realize there still arc nnny
thousands of quitters, they pointed out today
following the revision of estimates that t'-t
number would be far less than at first ex
pected

as well ag In the Allied countries
in some circles the Wilson statement Is
considered even stronger than the petce
terms stated some months ago by Tremler
Lloyd Qcorge.
.i,?."9.!'"!'.11 of ,h'' no1' already seen Is
that President Wilson has been eietated
Aiiia "lJ.ncr Position as rpokesman for the

As predicted, the United Stales Is grow
ing more and more powerful in the alliance
which Is fighting to crush merman mill
tarlsm Tremendous Interest Is manifest oer the
result of the nolo on Russia and the rentrtl
Powers The questions most generally isked
In this connection are
First Will the note keep the Russian
reople In the war until victory is at
tained? Second. Will It help to bring order out
of chaos In Russia?
Third Will It lengthen or shorten the
war?
The opinion Is generally held thit the note
will result In n freer exchange of views
among the belligerents, and this In turn
inny result In n quicker peace than would
have been possible had tho note not been
sent
A note hat been dispatched to Pelrograd
by tho British Government roatllrinlng the
declarations made by President Wilson The
British note leaves no ground for misunder
standing as to why llrltlsh blood Is being
shed
Equal alarcltv probably will be shown by
the Central Powers Although Germany
and Austria may perslslt In their refusal
to name definite peace terms. It Is believed
that statements will be .'orthcomlng from

until the last year of his administration,
when tho entire force manned the polling

tain sections, his own district pr.n" pally

IT'S NOW GOOD-BY BOOZE
FOR WAR; MAYBE AFTER
Four Offensives Against Liquor
Give Promise of Victory
for Prohibition
WASHINGTON. June 11.
The United Ststes Is going on the water
wsgon Whether It will stay there longer
than the period of the war depends on how
the nation likes the eiptrlment. But a care
ful canvass of the entlr membership of
both houses today demonstrated positively
thit the "dry" element was In control Their
slogan of "no foodstuffs for Intoxicants" Is
winning converts every day.
There are now four distinct "dry" plans
before Congress. Each of them has the sup
port of a committee of some organlted group
oi memoers There are numerous other Iso
lated prohibition programs, backed by an In
dividual member or two, who probsbly will
merge with one of the main groups when
the prohibition fight begins In earnest The
four big plans are.
First The Senate Finance Committee's
recommendation to be embodied In the
war revenue bill, to tax distilled liquor
at such an exorbitant rate as to mske Us
further manufacture unprofitable
Second The Senata Agricultural Com
mittee's plan to be presented In the form
of an amendment to the food legislation,
to forbid the further use of foodstuffs In
the manufacture of alcoholic beverages
Third The Gore Hder to the prefer
ential routing bill, now pending In the
Senate to prevent the shipment of dis
tilled liquor In Interstate commerce
Fourth The Sheppard resolution favor
nbly reported by the Senate Judiciary
t'ommlttee and now on the Senate cal
endar proposing a constitutional amend
ment for nationwide prohibition
The first three of these will receive strong
backing from a combination of simon-pure
prohibitionists with those "quaal-drys" who
believe that the nation ought to quit drink
ing liquor while the war rages It Is en
tirely possible that all three of them may
be passed, and the concerted operation of
the three would have nearly the effect of a
bene-dry measure
There Is little likelihood of the Sheppard
resolution being adopted at this session

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
ON THE FARM
By Former Smith
Billy had heen drnftod'
How gweet It Is sometimes to enjoy the
praise of the crowd, but when Billy was
ready to make his speech on the memor
able day when there was a grand parade In
his honor, he received a note stating that
he had heen drafted for duty on the farm
"You have nerved tne army faithfully and
and you must go on the farm and serve
our country there for a time and await
orders "
It was a shock to even Billy, for he
thought that he had done enough, but
now he was expected to go out on the
farm and work hard
He was ao overcome that he did not
have a chance to make a speech but that
was only mother surprise for those who
lived In Goatvllle, for THEY expected any
thing of Billy Bumpus.
Jonathan Goat, who stood beside Billy
Btimpus. leaned over his shoulder and read
the note When they had both finished
Jonathan shook hands with Billy and said,
softly. "Too bad ;'
Billy handed the note to Mrs. Bumpus
and she read It and began to cry "Be
careful " whispered Billy. "You will spill
some tears on my new coat."
"Boo-hoo-hoo
It seems as though the tears would never
cease Mrs Bumpus was more affected
than she had been whtn Billy went to the.
army' u , . u
'There Is no chance lo be a hero on a
farm." sobbed his wife
"I can take care of the rake when It
is teething and raise pigs by their tails."
said Billy, little thinking how It sounded
Jonathan laughed
The note which Billy had handed to his
wife blew out of her hand and floated
down to the crowd below
Obedlah Goat grabbed It and. of course,
read It
At that moment a frm wagon came
through the streets of Goatvllle and what
did Billy do but skip out the back way,
through the crowd on the grandstand and
start after that wagon
'This la better than saying good-by. he
was thinking when he happened to look
back and there was the whole crowd com
ing after him
The farmer took one look back of him
and then started to whip his horse
There was nothing for Billy to do but
to turn back and face the crowd It did
not take him long to tell thm that he was
going on a farm to serve his country and
then .before his wife had a chance to catch
him. he was off after the wagon and soon
was trotting along the hot dusty road as
If nothing had happened
"Goodness me!" Billy exclaimed every
now and then "I run going to war once
more What do you think of that'
Toward evening the wagon stopped at
a large farmhouse and Billy scooted off
In the direction oi me ii
Before he reached It he almost ran oyer
Mrs Hen. who had nine little ducks toddling
'Vyou h.r".r exclaimed Mm Hen
Do you know meT" asked Billy, so sur
prised that his breath was almost taken
"I know that you are a goat, but I do
not know your name. But what are you
doing here?" Mrs Hen took one of the
.h joined IhsTrStrla. Army." re-
P""I hope you know what that Is." an-
"Tt'Sia't mome'ni Billy caught alght of the
hired man coming toward Mm with a
Pl"Morerke'xcltemntr exclaimed Billy as
he scooted under the barn.
