So that men who escaped in the morning and read with amazement the afternoon papers | are wondering how they will get home to-night—If 80. Incidentally the dragnet has brought in many undesirables in addition to slackers, The police did not over- look the unprecedented opportunity. Among the “miscellaneous material” | gathered up the following items are | listed: Three unregistered enemy aliens, one man long wanted for se- | dition, three conscientious objectors, thirty deserters from army and navy, several drug addicts and drug dis- | tributors and a number of dubious! persons for whom the police will be waiting as they leave the Federal! custody. | Before noon the throng of arrested | men was so great that Federal au- thorities called upon Gov. Whitman to provide immediately the largest pos#ible force of State Guards to help handle the situation, The Gov- ernor is in New York giving per- | sonal assistance, Outside the various armories where the suspected men were gathered | there came crowds of women with the registration cards of their hus- bands and brothers and sons. Others came with birth certificates and fam- ily Bibles to prove that this or that arrested man was above or below the draft age. CALL ON WIVES TO GET THEIR) REGISTRATION CARDS. Many an honest man who had for-| gotten hia registration card cropt| furtively into his office this morning | and would not budge therefrom until his wife had answered an emergency phone message to “get that card out of my coat and bring it down here in a hurry.” And many another honest man, just above draft age but appearing younger—most of us think we look younger—sent home for that ancient village newspaper, yellow and crumbling, with the record of his| birth, Others—not so honest—did their best to look older than they really are. Department of Justice agents are unanimous in saying that. Men who never wear glasses except for reading wore them in the streets to- day. And men who ordinarily twirl their canes were leaning heavily avenue, trying to look preoccupied and careworn. Happy the man who had a child along with him fifteen or sixteen years old to call him “Papa.” The slacker hunt is in charge of Supt. De Woody, his assistant, A. M. Briggs, and the United States Mar- shals. The police, police reserves, companies of soldiers and sailors, members of the American Protective League, the Women's Motor Corps, the National League for Women’s Service, the military police and other organizations are helping. All these, about 25,000 in all, are permanent or temporary representatives of the De- partment of Justice. This is what happened to every man on hig arrival at the bull pen: A soldier handed him a yellow card —appropriate if the slacker charge were true. If it was not true he would get, a little while later, a nice white card certifying that he was all right. After filling out the card the sus- pected man took his place in line to wait his turn at an examination table. When the “bullpen” at the 69th Regiment Armory, was packed full, with more suspected men arriving in groups of tee to Hid ‘every few min- utes, a & yinegaphone shouted: “All those: whe have filted gut their WashOut The Pores With Caticura Soap And have a clear, fresh complexion, free from pimples, redness, or roughness. | Pim- are usually caused by clogging and ation of the pores.

What is your residence phone? What is your business phone? What is your present address of residence? What is your business address? Are you married? Are you registered? What is the number of your local poard? I Did you file your questionnaire and when? Have you a classification card? When were you born and the date of your birth? How long have you lived at the present address? Where did you live before that? If the answers showed that the man was wilfully avoiding draft or registration he was detained for a hearing in court, and if the case is proven against him he will be ordered to report for service. yellow cards form in a column of twos.” ‘There was a mad scramble, but the soldiers quickly produced order out of the chaos, and the long process of | feeding out the lined up men to the various examination tables got under) way. | Thomas D. Bell, No. 111 Fast 75th! Street, went witu his wife and daugh- ter to the Pennsylvania Station to see | his brother off. He forgot his card. And now he is waiting to be heard— | waiting in that interminable line. His wife thinks there are only a couple of thousand ahead of him and that maybe | he'll be home for breakfast to-morrow. | She is waiting too, having gone home | and brought him the card thac he| never will forget again. | TIES UP HIS YACHT; GOES FOR DRINK; TAKEN. A fancy young man in white yacht- ing togs—no use describing him, for every one knows exactly what he looked like—tied up his yacht in the North River and walked over him, and he said he was J. Krilling of Bridgehampton, L that his registration card was at the club. So J.

The slacker hunt in Brooklyn nearly disorganized business in the shopping district.

This morning I pulled in more than a hundred by myself. They seem to be disappearing.” The “skinners” smile in anticipa-| tion of one thing, however. “Wait until we get started on the restau- rants this afternoon and o-night and on the hotels and shops and factories to-morrow,” they comfort themselves, According to these men the restau- rants, cabarets and theatres are going to be thoroughly combed. After that will come the hotels, The registers will be examined and every guest | questioned. Then will come the shops and factories. The street work that was started to-day is only preliminary to the systematic searche that coming.
