Boys will not be sent “over there” until they are twenty-one. This is the information given me by Provost Marshal General Crowder when I discussed with him the draft from industatal fields, with special reference to coal and the coal shortage. This small percentage of men drawn from the coal industry rather Administration as to the coal con- dition and the shortage of labor in the coal fields. Earlier in the day I charge of the anthracite coal produc- tion of the Administration. Mr, Neale had given me as the principal reasons for the coal labor conditions, the draft, voluntary enlistment propaganda in */ the coal fields and the drawing of |~ oal men into other industries. To these General Crowder swered: “As to the draft, it may readily be seen how smal! a percentage has been taken out of the coal industry. As for the voluntary enlistment and the Propaganda in coal camps, I want to say that since Dec, 1 last, in view of the gelective draft, there have been very few enlistments, In fact, we accept enlistments where a man wants to join ahead of his time, and then he loses his natural place in the selective draft. There are not a great many such enlistments. COMPETITION FOR MEN SHOULD BE REGULATED. “Now, as to tite last reason,” con- tinued General Crowder, “as I under- stand it, there has been a consider- able drawing of men from the coal fields into other lines of work. “If only the various departments would stop bidding for labor in order to insure enough men in their par- ticular industries, a considerable ad- justment would result.

I explained that there seemed to be a prevalent idea that we were to send younger boys “over there.” “There is no such intention,” said the General with spirit. “We do not intend to send any men abroad until they are twenty-one. All amendments now being con- sidered make proper provision to obviate such a thing. than BE EXTENDED. between @ighteen and twenty-one, we are not to lay hands on these boys for overseas duty until they are of age. and thirty-one they will constitute the first line soldiers; from thirty two to thirty-six, the second line; and it is intended that men fromt thirty- federal reserve that will only go to the front on emergency, or rather as men in the time of need. “You would be surprised in ac cordance with the data already se cured what a marked effect the work or-fight order has had on the respon. sibility of each imposed by the war, he continued, “Hundreds of men who were for- merly engaged in practically doing nothing or earning a living in a shift- less way are beginning to ask them- selves the question: 'What ought [ to do? ‘Just what can I do to do my part? it is most surprising, the individual responsibility that is be- ing manifested all around will not only bring thousands into useful occupations, but will stand them in good stead when the war is over “Another matter; thausands of pl easy, simple labor, which have been filled by men who can well be replaced | by willing women and thus re | lease a large number of men for | factory p s and the essen- | ‘or which there in there are While » discussing this, I asked General Crowder, this kindly faced man, to give me some of th views of the proposed amendments for increasing the draf And, as General Crowd the importance of having a sufiic draft number, | was strongly b> 6 BELLANS p__. | Hot water | - >| Sure Relief BELLEANS FOR INDIGESTION | GREY HAIR. @uiehly restored to Its natural ‘color, beneficial. odorless. ‘easily applied, dries quickly, Quaranteed to contain ne poison This is the truth aboat GREY HAIR: RESTORERS Advertising telephone he.
