Approves Suspension
of Volunteer System
That the suspension of the volun
teer system for recruiting the ranks
of the Regular Army is the best plan
to eliminate the distinction between
the Regular and National Army was
the opinion advanced by Lieutenant
Robert W. Lesher, commander of
the Harrisburg recruiting party this
morning.
Lieutenant Lesher said no word
had been received about the dispo
sition to be made of the recruiting
party.
It was pointed out that because
recruiting officers can no longer ac
cept volunteers, the ability to volun
teer is not altogether taken from
the men of military age. Through
the numerous induction calls re
ceived by local boards for men pre
pared for special service at various
branches or army occupations, it was
pointed out that young men may still
be able to get into the service by
choosing the branches they prefer.

Vilhjalmur Stefanssen, the explorer,
announces that one of his lieuten
ants, named Sterkersen, at the head

trated to a point 175 miles north of
Alaska.
This report, if correct, jStefanssen
says, indicates the party has gone
seventy-five miles beyond the point
reached by previous explorers. It
would also indicate, the telegram
adds, that Keenan Land is not lo
cated at the point given by previous
maps.

HAJRJUSBUPIG TELEGRAPH
DRAFT BOARD MEN
CAN NOT RESIGN
% •
Major Murdock Declares They
Must Act in Regis
tration
Members of local draft boards who
may seek to leave the national draft
service prior to the registration pro
posed in the bills pending in Con
gress will not be allowed to do so,
according to notice issued to-day by
the state draft headquarters. The
headquarters has received a number
of resignations and has issued this
caution "Board members are ad
vised that no resignations can be ac
cepted before the new registration,
unless the health of the man re
quires it or unless he has entered
the military service."
The headquarters, has also issued
notice that in a short time new regu
lations will be issued which will pro
vide compensation for local board
members and that hereafter oras
sards or arm bands are to be fur
nished to drafted men when they en
train for camp and that party lead
ers are to be provided with certifi
cates showing their authority.
Word has been received at state
draft headquarters that registration
places need not necessarily be :n
polling places, but nothing has been
received designating September 5,
which is also the voters registration
day in all cities of Pennsylvania. The
date will depend upon Congressional
action. The responsibility for pro
viding suitable registration places
will rest upon local boards, but
county and municipal offices should
assist in providing such places.
Numerous boards have already
sent word to Major W. G. Murdock,
the chief draft officer, that they have
selected registrars and that a large
number of men have volunteered
their services.
TO DECORATE GROUNDS
The Berryhill Nursery will furnish
material and labor for the ,decoration

at once and say it will be completed
by October 15.
