The chief objection to the ‘working of the draft has beén that quotas based on alien as well as citizen registration were unjust to some communities so long as aliens were exempt. The alien service resolution, coording to rough caleulations, - will cording to rough calculations, will 9,600,000 registered eligibles. Many of these men are at the head of the list of eligibles, and if they are not re- quired to serve their burden in the national lottery will fall on American shoulders. Enemy aliens are not to be affected by the resolution, nor subjects of countries allied with Germany. But men who have made the United States their home without intending to be- come citizens will be included in the draft if the resolution is passed. Those who are prevented by law (such as the Japanese and Chinese) from becoming citizens will still be included among the aliens exempted from ser- vice. As the law reads at present all subjects of other nations are exempt from service. There are tréaties with some of these nations preventing the drafting of their citizens, but in each case the diplomatic representatives of the _co\mtries affected ‘must voice ob- Jjection to such a procedure. The citi- zens themselves ,cannot object. So far as can be learned, none of the countries affected has objected. ‘Would Deport Objectors. The resolution provides for the de- portation within ninety days of aliens who refuse to serve. Should any of the Allied countries object to service by their nationals residing here, it is probable the nationals would -be asked to get out, and failing in that would be put out. Going back to their own country, their chances of being called for war service would be as great as they are here. Thus far it has been impossible to calculate exactly how many aliens are included in the first call. It would not be surprising if as many as 10 per cent. would be subject under the resolution of service. The attorney general recommended to the senate military affairs com- mittee today that the provision against the sale of liquor to men in uniform in the Draft Act be broad- ened so as to include the gift of lquor as well. Department of Justice ficials have been investigating the ef- fect of this provision of the law and believe it will be necessary to broden its scope to accomplish its purpose of breaking up promiscaous barroom drinking. TUnder the law at present, while it is unlawful to sell liquor to soldiers in uniform, ‘friends” can “treat” them in barrooms and collect for the drinks outside. New Army Best in History. That the new National Army will be the finest ever trained for war is the opinion expressed here by experi- enced army officers. They say that for the first time men cannot buy themselves oyt of service, so that the include the Jjust American spirit. “I éxpect,” said a prominent officer “to see many of the so-called ‘rough- necks’ called in this army wearing of- ficers’ epaulets by the time they reach France. You will see them rising rapidly to corporals and sergeants, and those with the ability to com- mand are likely to be commissioned officers before many months have passed.” No class exemptions will be made, according to a statement made public The, statement was in ‘response to a question by the Coal Production Com- mittee of the Council of National De- fense, and affected particularly the exemption of miners. Although it is unlikely the Government will inter- fere with certain classes of industry necessary to the national defense, such as coal nining, the men to be taken will in each case be deter- mined by district exemption boards according to local conditions. It is unlikely that aircraft, or oil well workers, miners, railroad men and other laborers necessary to the national defense, where the experi- ence of these men is such that their places could not be readily filled by others, will serve.

Doar’s Kidney Pills have been test- ed by thousands. New Britain people testify. Can you ask more convinciug proof of merit? Miss K. Welch, 40 Sexton St, New Britain, says: *“I was troubled con- siderably by dull pains across the small of my back and I think they were brought on by my work as I had to sit down all day. It was a contin- ual, dull pain and made me feel tired and worn out. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and T have had faith in them ever since and alwavs speak Thighly of them.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. WIFE ILL, THIS FAN RELAYS INNINGS Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—Ladles and gentlemen, meet the champion base- ball fan and his carrier pigeons, by which he relays the score through the air! His name is Legien, and he is two; to be exact—Mr. and Mrs. John H. Legien. Until two years ago Mr. and Mrs, Legien never missed a game. They could tell you the bat- ting averages of men in majors and minors, they talked box scores in- -stead of gossip at the breakfast table, and on holidays they went to the game instead of the movies. Then came tragedy, Mrs. Legien fell so ill that on recovery she found she would be an invalid the rest of her life. No more baseball games for her. Husband went alone, and she had to wait until long afterward to find out who won, for the Legiens lived ten miles from the park across the city. Such a pathetic state of SCORE BY FAITHFUL CARRIER PIGEONS : could not endure. At the beginning | of the present season Mr. Legien | trained a flock of carrier pigeons, | and now every afternoon at the game you see— John H. Leglen sitting {n the grand stand with a box of nine homers. At the end of every inning—unless the game goes over nine, in which case he holds the ninth bird until it's all over—he writes the score on a slip of paper, sticks it beneaths the les ring of the pigeon and lets him fly. High above the diamond the homer circles until he is a speck against the blue; then—bang!-—he is off on a dead line to the south. Four min- utes later Mrs. Legien, resting on her front porch, takes the fluttering bird from her shoulder and puts him away. But first she extracts the from the leg ring. “Hurrah!” she exclaims. paper “It was affairs | our lucky seventh.” WHEN YOUR NEWSBOY FAILS TO LEAVE YOUR HERALD ’Phone WESTERN UNION And paper will be sent promptly to you by messenger.

LIBRARIES FOR THE ARMY GANTONMENTS Fund of $500,000 to Be Raised {0 Provide Reading The librarians of the country have placed themselves in line with other bodies of professional men who putting their expert knowledge and experience at the disposal of their country. A committee an war service for libraries was appointed by the American Library association at its recent annual meeting at Louisville, Ky. This committee is about to launch a campaign to raise half a mil- lion dollars for the service in which it is interested. One of its immediate alms is to provide well equipped and properly administered public library buildings for each one of the 16 can- tonments of the national army, soon to be formed. It has been recognized by the commission on camp activities, a government body, as the principal agency through which books are to be distributed to the saldiers. Other dis- tributing agencies located in the build- ings of the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Red Cross, and possibly others, will be related to the main building of the camp somewhat as de- posit stations in schools and industrial houses are related to the central public library of a city. It is expected that these main libraries will be in charge of thoroughly trained, com- petent librarians. The assistants will be gathered from the most convenient sources; some will doubtless be en- listed men with library experience, who will be assigned to the work. others will be volunteers from the li- brary field, of whose services the com- mittee already has a gratifying num- ber of offers; and others will be salaried helpers. The library buildings will be of wood, but a single story in height, containing one large open-shelf room surrounded by books, together with smaller reference and study rooms, work rooms for the staff and possibly living quarters. The assumption of this work by the national association of trained pro- fessional librarians insures that it will be done thoroughuy and systematical- ly, and not in a haphazard, disorgan- ized way by smaller bodies of enthusi- astic but ill-instructed amateurs, The business of furnishing books to camps, although the first object of the committee, is of course not the only kind of war ser e that it will or- ganize among librarians and libraries. It has already appointed a sub-com- wittee on the dissemination of know- ledge regarding the food situation, consisting of experts in the U. . agricultural department and in vartous state unlversities; and also a sub- committee to arrange for a nation- are held probably about the first of Octo- ber, with the intention of impressing on the public the willingness and ability of libraries to serve in any pos- sible way in the present emergency. A vigorous campaign to raise funds and to ask for donations of books will be launched as soon as the plans of the committee admit. Lacal libraries will be given the principal part in the callection and culling of books, and it is expected that many of the railroads will offeer to transport books free to wide Library War Service Week, to be { If you have somethin to sell, if you want to hire help, if you want a better situation, if you want to hire or let a tenemen:, the classified column will place | you in touch with the right people A brilliant, lasting shine.
