NO CHANCE FOR SLACKERS UNDER NEW 1). S. DRAFT
Measures to Catch Delinquants Have Improved With Experience, Crowder Says. WASHINGTON. Sept. 2. Attempts to evade registration on September 12 by men made subject to military service by the man-power bill fixing the i draft age limits at IS and 45 will be hopeless. Provost Marshal General Crowder's office asserted Sunday night In summarizing the Government's experience with the draft to date. Between 20,000 and 25,000 men who failed to register in 117 have been rounded up since ,the statement said, and private and semi-public organizations assisting the Government's own agencies are on the trail of the refit Measures to catch delinquents have Improved with experience, and the process now moves most expeditiously. Pointing out that the penalty of a pear's imprisonment and forfeiture of exemption rights Immediately devolves upon willful slackers, the statement said, hardly a communty In the United States had failed to show swift visitation of the punishment where it was earned. While 3.000 men subject to the first draft had crossed to Mexico .their names are on file with the department, and sooner or later they will face the bar. In the meantime, even fugitives who possess means are
are being made miserable by the na
tives and by other Americans who reside there.
Canada is now automatically return
ing those who have! fled there or conscripting them into her own army. Courts manifest no sympathy for the Invaders ,and women in all neighborhoods, especially those whose own relatives have gone Into service, have
been exceptionally active in turning
over Information to draft boards on which to convict slackers.

WE'RE COMING BACK VIA BERLIN, WRITES FRANK HENGSTER
"It has been so warm here in New York that i have had a sneaking suspicion lately that old Kaiser Bill had induced Satan to send some of his weather up "here," said Frank Hengster, a Wayne county boy, stationed at Camp Mills, N. Y., in a letter received Monday by the Palladium. "But it is cooler now," he continued. "Since last September, I have not seen Wayne county, and when I enlisted I thought that I would have a dozen Hun notches on my Enfield, or else have a cross resting peacefully over my head," somewhere in France," but that has not been my luck. I have hit almost every camp in the United States, at least is seems that way to me. If they don't get us on a transport soon our bunch will be hunting Huns in New York and shooting them up. Just to get a little exercise. "The people around New York treat us great. But when I hear how you Hoosiers are treating the boys, it makes me feel like coming back. I don't want to loose time, though, so guess I will come back via Berlin."

WATCMES
For Soldiers
The Demand in This Country is Far Exceeding the Supply We Advise yoi , To Buy Now When JENKINS & CO., first started to advertise Wrist Watches for men, a great many people laughed up their sleeve. Some even went so far as to ridicule the idea. TODAY THE WRIST WATCH IS SUPREME With the soldier it is a necessity. Men in practically every part of the service including the navy and aviation departments are unanimous in their praise of the wrist watch. Men in other walks of life recognize them as the convenient way to have the correct time at an instant. OUR JUDGEMENT HAS PROVEN CORRECT We now advise all who contemplate the purchase of a wrist watch for a soldier friend or relative and those who are likely to be inducted into service to secure your wrist watch now. We are having trouble in getting re-or- . ders on many numbers and this condition will get worse. We carry the most complete stock in the city and offer the best values. We invite you in to look, whether you buy or not. -Priced $15 to $35-
