ATTORNEYS WILL GIVE ADVICE TO REGISTERED MEN All Attorneys Will Assist Richmond Selective Army Board.

AH Richmond attorneys will assist the selective army board in interpreting the questionnaires for men registered under the selective service law, to determine each registrant's place. The attorneys will be called together some day this week to take the questionnaire up for discussion and agree on various interpretations, so that the advice given registered men, concerning the way in which to answer certain questions, will be uniform. The meeting will te called by the advisory board of attorneys for the Richmond board, of which Attorneys Will Reller and A. M. Gardner and Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit court are members. The advice will be given the registered men free of charge. Interpretations of the questions and the meaning and Intent of the law, only, will be explained. The attorneys will do none of the clerical work and the registered men, themselves, will be required to fill the questionnaires in their own writing. The government has asked that attorneys in every city co-operate with the selective army board to see that the "law is justly administered" and that both the government and the registered man are given justice. The meeting of the bar association probably will be held the latter part of the week. It is probable, according to Attorney Reller, a member of the board, that attorneys throughout the county. Including the advisory board of District No. 2 will be called in. 2,500 Received. The questionnaires, which will be mailed even registered man, with the exception of those awaiting to be sent to training camp, have been received by the board. None of the registered men will be able to get one of the questionnaires before December 13, when the board will start mailing them. Five percent, or 120 questionnaires.

will be mailed on December 15. One hundred and twenty Questionnaires will be mailed on every day thereafter for twenty days, or five percent of the

number to be mailed in all, will be sent every day. Men who have been examined, and

certified for service, but who have not

been ordered into training camp, will not receive the questionnaires according to Sheriff Carr, chairman of the board, Monday. This decision was reached after a conference with H. B. Smith, state adjutant general. The registrants will have seven days In which to fill out the questions and return them to the board. Sundays and holidays will be excepted. The date of mailing with be stamped on every questionnaires, so registrants will know exactly when they must be returned.

PURPLE GROSS BODY

Knowing the inadequacy of the Graves Registration Service which the War department is providing, modeled after the English system, the licensed undertakers and embalmers of the United States have formed the American Purple Cross Association, and have volunteered to take care of the American soldier who die on the battle field In a scientific manner, at their own expense. They are prepared to aend experienced men into the trenches for this purpose, and maintain and support them and any others they may need to help them.Petitions asking Congress to pass the Purple Cross bill have been sent to Champ Clark by Theodore Hunt, of the firm of Jordan, McManus, Hunt and Walterman, who has charge of the movement. Mr. Hunt said Friday that he had received an acknowledgement of the reception of the petition from Champ Clark.

President Wilson in war times is a stronger man than in the years of bis first administration. Here is a splendid photograph of the president and Mrs. Wilson, taken while the president was reviewing the graduate officers at Fort Myer, a few days ago. In every line of his face is shown his strength, his excellent health, which will enable him to handle the greatest problems in the history of the country and lead the nation and the allies to .victory.

Two hundred and six men with millionaire incomes ten of them with annual incomes of more than five million dollars and 196 with Incomes ranging from one to five million are shown in the income tax figures of the internal revenue bureau for the fiscal year 1917. The report of the tax shows growing sums, despite the fact that a lower number of Income tax payers is shown than was estimated. The figures do not 6how the full effect of the war as a creator of millionaires and practically none of the effects of the entry of the United States

Officers Who Have Been in Front Line Trenches to Train Guards

(By Associated Press) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Sunday, Dec. 2 A number of officers who were attached to the first battalions to enter the trenches, have been transferred to the newly arrived units of former national guardsmen where they will direct the work of getting the new troops ready for the front line. Later men of the first unit to establish contact with the enemy also may be .transferred temporarily to assist the officers. This conforms with the announcedlan of General Pershing. tl Reports from all divisional headquarters indicate that the training is progressing most rapidly. The course of Instruction has been shaped so as to achieve the greatest results in the shortest time without abandoning any necessary detail. Snow fell today over the entire American zone, whitening the ground, buildings and trees in the higher places but adding to the mud in the lowlands. Engineers working on the supply line today reported they had passed through several fairly lively bombardments without casualties. Vance McCormick, member of the

American mission to the inter-allied conference, came out from Paris today to vi3it hearquarters and see the troops. Later he left to inspect the French front Col. E. M. House and other members of the mission are expected to visit the American zone during the week.

REFUSES TO TALK

HELDER. Holland, Sunday, Dec. 2. Joost van Vollenhoven, head of the Dutch commission to the United States, arrived here today aboard a Dutch warship from the United States. He refused to make a statement on his mission before reporting to the foreign office at The Hague, whither he proceeded immediately.

THOUGHTS TO THINK. ABOUT' Patience never means a pause in your pace, but to be slow and sure is better than to be shamed by the results. Round by round, the ladder of patience carries man to the top. Exercise of the body rests the mind when it has worked hard; the fads in physical exercise are friends to men's minds. Haughty arrogance is a hateful habit of weakness; contempt of others who are your "betters" is a conceit that does not deceive. The Palladium sells advertising space to the rich and poor at a fair low rate considering the good results to be obtained. When you advertise in The Palladium you reach 93 of the homes in Richmond.
