In the new draft- the district I boards are charged with the dufy of putting into deferred classes those | persons who arc more likely to fur- \ thef the war by remaining in civ- I ilian occupations than by entering | the Army. Accordingly, three ad visors are fo be selected for eac.h district board—-one for agriculture, one for labor, and one for.other oc cupations. The agricultural adviser will be appointed by the board upon I the recommendation of the Secre tary of Agriculture. The advisers ] are not members of the board but may. when invited, attend its meet- 1 ings. The duties.of the agricultural ad viser will he to furnish to the board facts relative to farm labor require ments. not only of his own district, but of the whole country. He should be the repository of all facts having relation to the deferment of agricul tural workers, whether these be ; necessary farm laborers, managers !or operators. He will be expected ! to advise the district boards as to a j shortage or surplus of necessary ! farm workers for any given district, ! as well as for the entire nation. Such information will tie supplied to the ; advisers by the Department of Agrt ' culture. This will make it possible to have necessary workers trans ferred from districts in which they may not be necessary to other dis ! tricts in which they are sorely needed. The adviser may also •concern himself with individual eases that ; conie before the district board. He will have the right, under certain ; conditions, to examine the ques tionnaires and other records in the files of the local board for the pur pose of ascertaining whether per sons entitled to deferred clnssiftca ! tion have actually claimed it. A further duty with which the ad i visor is charged is to confer with employers of necessary farm work ers. and to instruct them as to their right under the regulations to file a claim for deferred classification ih respect of any registrant who has failed or refused to file a claim for deferred classification in his own be : half. ; The purpose in the appointing of ' advisers is to place men where they : can do most to help win the war. These advisers will be able to help | greatly the district boards to keep in agriculture the necessary work i ors. This effort to keen men In in dustry, rather than to send them to the camps and the trenches, should not be abused as to permit the slacker to escape military duty. The necessities for raising an army ; are paramount. Every man that can , lie spared will be needed and need ed badly to bring the enemy to his ! senses. The adviser should he as ' sisted in every possible way by every ; legitimate agricultural interest to I find the men that can be spared for military duty, but also to keep those that are essential to the mainte nance of a proper food supply.

Harris Wins Over Foe of Wilson in Georgia Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 12. Unofficial returns from ninety-five out of 152 counties of the state early last night indicated that William J. Harris, ex chairman of the Federal Trade Com mission. who was endorsed by Presi dent Wilson, carried seventy-one in the Democratic Senatorial contest. Senator Thomas W. Hardwlck, who seeks renomination. apparently had a ; plurality in twelve counties, Represen tative Wiliam Schley Howard a plu rality in leven counties, and .Emmet R. Shaw, of Clay county, in one. Unusual interest centered in the Senatorial contest because of a letter President Wilson wrote to Clary Howell, Democratic national commit teeman, in which he said he opposed , the renomination of Senator Hard ! wick, whom he characterized as "a constant and active opponent of my 1 administration."

I Czecho-Slovaks Are a Fighting Nation They came from Bohemia. Slova nia and adjoining piovinces in the heart of central empires, between Austria proper and Germany. In the Middle Ages they were a powerful independent nation. For almost 300 years they havei been Austrian subjects against their will. 'i When the world war started tHey made up a part of the Austro-Hun garian army because they had to. The Austrians executed hundreds of, the more rebellious. At the first opportunity they de>- scrted or surrendered to the Rus sians and became cither nominal Russian prisoners or units in the Russian army. When the Germans advanced into Russia after Trotsky and Lenine signed the peace treaty they faced execution as deserters, and started 60,000 strong, through Siberia to wards the Pacific, intending to sail for America and from there to the French fighting front. Attacked by armed German-Aus trian prisoners, they postponed their French trip to clean up Siberia. Fifteen thousand of them, already in Vladivostok, took the city from the Bolshe.viki and are now fighting their way back towards Russia to reseuo their comrades, 5,000 of whom are still in the interior. The latter have taken two-thirds of the Trans-Siberian railroad from the Bolsheviki, and are now fighting eastward through Siberia toward Vladivostok. Allied military investigators in Si beria call them the finest soldiers in the world to-day. Kept from the French front, they may he the creators of a new east ern front, an infinitely greater war service. Claimant For Estate of Queen Lili Has Big Name Honolulu, T.
