NUMBER 236 | T OF SLACKERS BEGINS Registration Board Wil Supervise Al Exemptions ONY OF GRAGE EXPIRES WIT ORDER ISSUED Police Departments of All Cities Notified of Order; Plans for Exemption Are Outlined by the Department By the United Press WASHINGTON, June 1|1.—Or- ders went out to all Police Depart- ments to arrest all “Slackers,” as the period of leniency Is noW Over. The police have strict orders to arrest all eligible men who have not registered, take them forcibly before the authorities, register them, then turn the Slackers over to the United States District attor- neys for punishment. WASHINGTON, June 11.—The first actual step toward the forma- tion of exemption boards was taken when an exemption plan! was submitted to the President by | « board of lawyers. jurists and mil- | janet The generai plan of form: | ing exemption boards from the | registration boards has been de- | cided upon. The Governor of each State is authorized to recommend changes where any meinber proves mani- festly unsatisfactory. In case of doubt, the plan calls for re-examination by an outside physician, when the board's physi- cian, usually the county or city surgeon, has given a decision un- satisfactory to either the man ex- amined or the exemption board. gees EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY, PEOPLE PANIC STRICKEN Thousands Seek Safety in Open Fields When Earth Rocks, and Wholesale Destrac- tion Is Threatened | | ROME, June 11.—Four violent | earthquakes caused a panic at Terni, | a city of 31,000, 40 miles northeast | of Rome.

As evidence of the fact that his opinion was not mi quoted, attention is called to the fact that Dr. Duniway, in commenting on different properties, asserted that the title to the section on which the big Merritt well is located was null and void. Consequently, when an official notice appeared in a local newspaper advertising certain lands for sale to the highest bidder, the action s in- Stantly accepted as evidence of the determination of the executive com-| mittee of the board to nullify existing | agreements regarding the continuance i as cf such leases. Among this property was listed a valuable piece of property controlled | by the Elkhorn interests, which, Dr. Duniway asserts, was the result of an “error in description.” He praxis states that no offering of Elkhorn pru perty will be made. In view of the fact that the execu- tive committee acted without the au- thority of the board in the matter { advertising other leases, it is possible that this decision will be revoked at the board meeting in Cheyenne to- morrow. Wyoming oil interests wii be represented at this conference in} connection with a protest to be enter-| ed, supported by able arguments. Its cutcome will be anxiously awaited in local oil circles.

W. GETTY, |United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, June 11—One of the fondest dreams of England’s engin- jeers for centuries, a tunnel beneath the English Channel, will probably be realized after the war. Sir Francis Fox has enabled the | United Press to give an outline of how |such a tunnel, which, burrowing 100 feet beneath the sea-fioor, could dis- gorge express and freight trains be- |tween England and France, and re~ |move forever the menace of the sub- marine, can be constructed) To drive a double tunnel through jthe grey enonanian chalk, diverting it ingeniously at one point through the gault, is today a simple feat of |cngineering, Sir rFancis declared. Re- velving cutters, fixed in Greathad , Shields, will eat through the earth like butter, and the debris can be con- stantly demoved from the face by high-speed endless belts, discharging directly into wagons. The Fox plan includes two tunnels, each eighteen feet in diameter, joined at intervals of 200 yards by cross tun- nels. A complte system of ventilation is to be worked by electricity. Elec- tric trains dre to bring and take away the workmen. In case such a tunnel should be reized by a hostile force, a water lock constructed to deal with such an emergency will enable the adjacent military authorities to flood it with emergency is over the water can be pumped out by electric power.
