LOAN TRAITOR VIOLATES
TRUST AS BOND SELLER
IN SCRANTON DISTRICT
The first Instance of nny effort to thwnrt
the success of tho second Liberty Loan that
has been brought to light In tho Philadel
phia Federil Reserve District has been re
ported from Scranton. Reports received
today from tho Scranton Liberty Loan com
mltteo nrc to tho effect that ono of the
supposed workers on that committee has
been found to bo untrue to his trust and
to bo working against tho bonds.
The name of tho man In question is being
withheld pending his arrest, which Is ex
pected soon, but It Is alleged that he volun
teered to work on the Liberty Loan com
mltteo and that after his offer of services
was accepted It was discovered that ho was
circulating statements that tho United
States should not bo In the war, that the
bonds would never bo redeemed, nnd that
thero was no need to buy bonds, because
tho Government could get all the money It
needed from tho banks, nnd that tho war
would bo over before thcro would bo any
necessity for tho inonoy.
Tho mntter has been brought to tho at
tention of United States District Attorney
John M. McCourt, of tho Scranton district,
nnd a vigorous prosecution of the alleged
slacker Is expected.

ROTAN STILL FNDUCIDKn
Tho decision of District Attorney Rotan
to mnko formal acceptance or refusal of
his nomination by the Town Meeting party
as a candidate for re-election will not bo
made until the last moment.
This was decided today when Mr. Itotan
declined to announce his decision, Miylng
that there was "plenty of time."
"no1 you reallzo that Monday Is tho last
day?" ho was asked.
"Yes, I realize; but It gives me plenty
of tlmo tp decide," replied tho District At
torney. He added that his decision would
not ho announced today.
Monday Is the last day upon which Mr.
Rotan can tllo with the County Commis
sioners his formal refusal of the mmln.i
tlon Fnlcss this Is done his immn will
appear on the Town Meeting Party ballot
as candidate for iilstrlct Attorney, his
nomination papers having been filed by the
new Independent party. Mr. Rotan, who
Is a candidate fur District Attorney mi tho
Republican ticket also, previously said ho
could not accept tho extra nomination of
fered by tho Independents on tho ground
that, although ho was In sympathy with tho
move for cleaner government, ho had made,
an agreement with his Republican lunning
males to accept nc other nomination unless
tho entire ticket was Included. His name,
nevertheless, wan placed In nomination by
the now party over his unofficial refusal.
Tho Town Meeting party commltteo to
day retained Wlllllam A. Olasgow, Jr , and
Thomas Raeburn Wlilto ns Its attorneys to
handlo the protest on tho nomination papers
that will be heard In Common Pleas Couit
No 3.
Town Meeting party leaders already have
started a counter-attack. They have no
fear, they said, that any of the nomination
petitions will be rejected.
The Town Meeting party committee today
Issued a statement In which It declared that
tho Republican City Commltteo had failed
to file the necessary papers In tho protest
against the Town Meeting candidates In tho
Thirty-eighth Ward.
"Tho efforts of six officeholders In tho
Thirty-eighth Ward to intimidate voters
and reflect upon tho validity of the coun
cllmnnlc ticket In the bailiwick died Ilko
a puff of wind after tho complainants had
created a great spiurgo by serving copies
of the allegations upon thoso affected, but
entirely forgot to Hie tho originals with
the prothonotaty until, under the law, It
was too late to dp so," tho statement reads.
"John F. Bennett, clerk In tho oflleo of
Director of Public Safety Wilson; William
R. Dowdell. clerk In the Department of
City Transit; Oeorgo W. Jackson, clerk In
tho Board of Revision of Taxes ; Charles
Suddell, clerk In tho office of the City
Treasurer, and Simon Moore, clerk In tho
County Commissioners office, nil went be
fore Woodward Abrahams, notary jnd also
a clerk In the County Commissioners' of
fice, and swore to charges of Illegality In
tho councllmanlo petitions circulated for
tho Town Meeting nominees In tho Thirty
eighth Ward.
"They sent a copy thereof to each of
tho 'defendants.' Hverythlng was arranged
for a first-claBS contest This moilng
the accusers awakened to the fact that
midnight last night was tho final hour for
tho filing of such charges and that they
had neglected that Small but necessary tech,
nlcallty."
The statement was dismissed as a "minor
matter" by J. Lea Patton, counsel for the
Republican city committee. '
"I doubt If that paper was not filed, and
I expect that It will be found with the
rest," he said.' "But In the event that It Is
found to be missing, It Is a minor matter
compared with the fraud and forgery that
will be shown In the courts next Tuesday."
The latest move of the Organization was
termed a bold political stroke, started
through fear of the people at the polls ono
which Is virtually a sign of defeat.
Notice of the planned court action, In the
form of subpoenas, was Issued to the fol
lowing nominees of the new party' city
ticket:
District Attorney Samuel P. Rotan, new
party nominee for re-election.
Thomas F Armstrong, candidate for
Receiver of Taxes.
William R. Nicholson, candidate for City
Treasurer.
Walter George Smith, candidate for Reg
ister of Wills.
Subpoenas also were served to many of
the Town Meeting candidates for both
Select and Common Council.
More .than 500 office holders and divi
sion workers were summoned to the head
quarters of the Republican City Committee,

before the latest drive was launched by

Oct, 20.
I wanted to seo the Americans nnd I
visited their camp, it was not lillo curios
Ifv that led mo lo their qunrters during my
recent trip to the front The traditional
French sympathy for the I'nlled States nnd
Its wonderful pernio, deepened by tho ac
tive tenewal of n common alliance of
thought that has endured for 140 years and
resulted In the mined intervention of tho
great Republic nnd thn presence of Its
troops within tho fighting lines, all com
bined to diaw me to tho American camp
to present tho Kalulatlcns of a French
friend to the young men who hnvo como out
of tho west to glvo battle to tho barbarians
to drive them back under tho Intertwined
Hags of America and Franco.
And then why not admit It frankly? I
wanted to see, ns much as tho men whose
reputation for nudacitv and Intrepidity Is
world-wide, their organization and how they
arc adapting themselves In tho shortest
possible tlmo to conditions of warfare that
found even the oldest armies of Huropc
unprepaiod.
Abovo all, I was struck by tho morale
that this r ico from across tho sea Inspired
in picsenttng Itself before us ns tho dis
interested champion of right without any
thought of conquest or gnin.
It was a Sunday morning when I arrived
and a Sabbath stillness pervaded the entire
camp. A number of soldiers were stretched
out in tho fields, while pthers wero perched
on pllcd-up stones, which they seemed to
llnd easy f.pnts Many wero mingling with
tho Inhabitants of tho village, talking to
them In sign language of their own Inven
tion. Thero wero a number of women and chll
dion among them, A little later, tho Gen
eral In command told mo It was astonish
ing how quickly roil friendships have sprung
up between the Atnet leans nnd tho villagers,
tho latter showing even more hospitality
toward tho Americans than toward their
own soldiers
When I was presented to the general
ho greeted mo with tho slmplo directness
which Is tho charm of their existence and
1 at onco felt at liberty to get right to
tho purposo of my business. I started upon
my problem of American preparedness,
pointing out successively tho weak spots
In tho organization and what has been done
to leinedy them.
In conclusion tho general t-ald to me:
"Understand, we havo not como to Franco
to treat tho people to military parades and
spectacles Wc havo a clearly defined
object known to every citizen of the Repub
lic and set faith In plain, clear HngRsh
by our President with tho approbation of
the entire country We are heio to lond
all our efforts toward tho crushing of tho
barbarians who havo made the world un

FUTURE DRAFTS
BY NEW SYSTEM
General Crowder Divides
Remaining Registrants
Into Five Classes
LOCAL WORK SIMPLIFIED
Assignment of Each Man Will
Depend Upon Economic Worth
Compared With His Fellows
WASHINGTON, Oct. !0
A new system of choosing max for futuro
drafts was announced this nftcrnoon by
Provost Marshal General Crowder. It
divides the remainder of tho registrants
not Included among the first G87.000 sent to
cantonments Into five classes. It reduces the
work of local boards and provides In a de
tailed questionnaire tho personal history
of each man on whl'ch his classification Is
based.
Tho questionnaire will bo mailed to
every registered man not yet In the service
on a date to be fixed. Seven days Is given
each man to fill In nnd return tho sheet.
Tho local board then nsslgns each man to
ono of tho flvo classes. Those In class ono
nro called up for physical examination
first ; thoso In class two, second, etc.
Tho class to which a man Is assigned
will depend upon his "economic worth as
compared with his fellow-registrants," said
tho announcement.
Tho questionnaire, which Is probably des
tined to become famous, Is known as "num
ber 1000."
Its lnvontlon reduces tho local board's
work by 80 per cent. In tho first draft now
being finished the boards used 182 forms.
Tho new system will require about twenty.
"Tho classification," said Crowder, "will
bo based upon every conceivable condi
tion from tho family or occupational
standpoint that should probably bo ad
vanced by a man desiring to bo excused
fiom military duty.
"livery opportunity for appeal from such
classification by tho local board has been
retalnod and perfected, but proceedings havo
been greatly simplified."
Tho classification's main purpose Is eco
nomic. It was Informally stated. In class 1
will naturally fall those men who can glvo
no good reason ngalnst being sent to camp.
Class 2 will be composed of tho first lino
of married men who havo no real depend
ents. In class 3 tho highly skilled will bo
placed, as they may bo necessary for war
Industries. In tho fourth class will come
the married men with many chlldron, and
In tho fifth class men who might be called
"discards," unfit for military servico except
In an emergency.
Tho order number drawn for each man
In .tho great lottery hero last July will
determino the turn In tho clnss In which
each man Is called In that class.
"Tho man who can least bo spared cither
ns tho head of a family or tho head of a
business necessary to tho defenso of the
nation will bo the last to go," stnted the
announcement.
Tills, it was Informally explained, ap
plied to exemptions In each class.

lard, chairman of the board. Today It an
nounced tho disposal of flfty-nlno cases of
personal appeal and Industrial claim, of
which ten wero discharges granted, nineteen
were temporary discharges and thirty were
certified for military service.
Tho district board has been considerably
Incensed over statements attributed to local
board members that thero wero many back
cases of nppeal that It had nllowed to drag
on without passing upon, thereby delaying
tho certification of men and causing the
calling of men out of their turn. Today tho
board sent a letter to Local Draft Board
No. 9, tho members being C. L. Harper, D.
Olmbel and Dr. J. Wnnamnkcj, stating that
tho records of tho district nppeal board fall
to show such a condition.
Tho tllbtrlct Appeal Board challenges the
local draft board to produco the serial
number nnd namo of nny enso undisposed
of by the former board that were filed prior

found Mr. WIlInrR says they will be given
Immediate attention.
BOARD DENIES NEGLIGENCE
The letter further requests that, In order
to facilitate tho proper certification of
names, the local draft board havo all cer
tification lists and sheets forwarded by It
distinctly dated.
James J. Ryan, a member of the district
nppeal board, said today that thero might be
Isolated coses that had passed tho notice of
the board, but ho explained that such a con
dition could only be possible through In
advertent misplacing of tho card folders
containing tho Individual data during tho
Initial period of Inexperienced clerical han
dling nnd at tho tlmo of moving from the
Postofllco Building to the present quarters
of tho board. Walter Wlllard, chairman of
District Appeal Board No. 2, said today tho
appeal board will meet by appointment
members of nny local board at 2 o'clock
every afternoon.
No more parties, lengthy lunch hours or
laughter during business hours are to bo
allowed henceforth In tho clerical rorro
of District Appeal Board No. 2, a special
set of rules having been handed to tho em
ployes by tho chief clrok, Bronte Green
wood, today. Considerable Incipient rebel
lion has lately broken out among tho force
of a scoro or more stenographers, clerks,
typists and Interpreters ns to who was boss
and why ono person should bo allowed to
stay out longer or como In later than the
others.
Hereafter, "9 a. m. to 0 p. m.," are the
regular hours, subject to being held for
overtime, for which twenty-five cents an
hour In addition to an allowanco for sup
per money, Is to bo paid. Failure to "re
port at tho front" In case of arrival later
than 9 o'clock will not bo tolerated, and
tho lunch period Is fixed nt three-quarters
of an hour.
"You are to stay on tho Job at all times,"
the notice adds, "and not have a party
with another employe, as has been the prac
tice at times and which must stop at once."
DRAFT BOARD ASKS FUNDS
Unless a check for $250 Is received soon
from tho draft hoadquartcrs at Harrlsburg,
Edward F. Swift, chairman of tho local
draft board for District No. 8, said today,
ho will not expect his clerical fcrco to work
nny longer on the draft certifications, thus
tying up the entralnmont of tho next 30
per cent quota from that section scheduled
for October 27 and November 2.
Mr. Swift asserts that $10,000 has been
distributed from Harrlsburg among the dis
trict appeal and local draft boards of the
city, but that his board has not seen any
of It. He says that ho has written twenty
letters to Harrlsburg but the only answer
ho has received Is to tho effect that tho
money will bo sent Immediately. Ho has
not received the money, although It was
promised a month ago, he added,
Mr. Swift explained that he has paid $250
out of his own pocket to keep tho clerical
force going, .consisting of two clerks, three
stenographers and seven doctors, used from
time to time. Ho promises to stay at his
post himself and "mull over tho papers,"
but ho cannot expect the assistants to serve
.without pay.
He says ho has done everything possible
to secure reimbursement, having sent In
requests and requisitions on every blank
nnd voucher form that hd knows about, all
to no avail. Ho says that one of his clerks
has been on duty since -June 5 and has re
ceived but $20 that he gave him.
"I think this Is tho limit," concluded Mr.
Swift, "for tho clerical forco has worked
very hard, and long hours, and certainly
deserves to be paid for their services, espe
cially If other boards In the city have been
paid,"
