CLASS ONE MEN TO BE EXAMINED AS CLASSIFIED

Registrant no Longer Has t Right to Appeal From Decision of Board Physicians. WASHINGTON. Sept. 27. Provost " Marshal General Crowder today in- , -tructed local draft boards throughout the country to call draft registrants for physical examination as .soon as " they have been placed In Class 1 by their boards, even though they may have appealed for reclassification to the district board. The examination jj will be postponed only In case there Is also pending a claim for deferred classification on individual grounds. . Attention of the local boards was called to a new ruling providing that t a registrant no longer has the right of Z applying for re examination to the Z medical advisory board after being X passed by the examining physician of tho local board as has been the custorn heretofore. Six states have not yet reported 1 complete totals of the Sept. 12 regis2 tratlons. and the provost marshal has been notified that totals returned from other states will have to be corrected 2 because of discrepancies between telegraphic returns and later mail returns, now being received. 5 Physically fit men between 18 and 2 45 years of age who are placed in ; Class 1 by local draft boards, or who would be so placed except for occupational deferment cannot become can5 dldates for commissions in the army. until they have been inducted into 2 service as privates, under rulings of 2 the Adjutant General, made public to- " day and superseding previous orders on the subject. ' Registrants placed in the subdivis3 ion of Class 1 reserved for limited or - special service however, may be comZ missioned direct from civil life, and 2 no barrier is interposed to the commissioning of men direct from civil ; life, providing their local boards have given them deferred classification on ; dependency grounds. . , , ; To carry out the provisions of the order, Provost Marshal General Crowder today authorized local boards t to examine and classify out cf their turns such registrants as may be af1 fected by the rulings; 1 Local boards are also authorized to examine and classify, without regard to normal order, such men as may be accepted by the navy and marine S corps, in order that their immediate voluntary induction may be arranged.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Sept. 27. Miles of Bhipways, their timbers towering above marsh-girted bays and rivers; hundreds of hulls, their naked or halfclad rigs yawning skyward; acres of giant cranes and derricks, machine shops and sawmills this, in composite, is a picture of war-ridden shipbuilding, on the North Atlantic coast, where more than 150,000 men are striving to help make good the nation's promise of a "bridge of ships" from the homeland to its soldiers overseas. --These men, equivalent almost to four divisions of the troops whose needs they are serving, have completed 65 vessels, capable of carrying 325,000 tons of cargo on a single trip. They have launched 70 others. And all this in a year when preparation rather than production necessarily has been the task of the newly created eastern yards. "Make Schwab forget the Pacific." was the placarded message which greeted, the Emergency Fleet Corporation's director-general when he visited a Connecticut shipyard. The enthusiasm which dictated the slogan is exhibited by a great majority of the managers and workers in the plants which dot the coast from Maine to Virginia and inland waters as far west as Lake Erie. Outdistanced in production early in the war by the already organized shipbuilding industry of the Pacific, the Atlantic yards now are getting their stride, and standardization of their output a type to a plant will speed the work. They have performed a miracle in assembling materials, erecting plants and housings, training shipbuilders and building ships. In this accomplishment, which in peace times would have occupied five years rather than twelve months, there has been a graphic illustration of the first half of the War Department's "work or fight" policy. Not by compulsion for the shipbuilders are volunteers men have flocked by

l thousands to the Atlantic yards and

have labored through days of ten hours. There is nothing figurative in the sweat of the riveter's brow. And the riveter, backbone of the in

dustry, is typical of his fellows. Wages are high, from the laborer's $4.40 to the rivet driver's $20 or $30 a day, but emergency has compelled their payment. Spirit Typical of U. S. Production, encouraging as it is, has not kept pace with the Emergency Fleet Corporation's program. There are many contributing causes scarcity of materials, transportation delays, inadequate labor supply and absenteeism of workmen. Some of the shipworkers cannot stand the prosperity which suddenly has become their lot. The result is five day's work where there might be six, and a consequent slowing up of production. Near the larger cities absenteeism averages 15 to 20 per cent, tapering down to 5 and 10 per cent in the more isolated communities. Managers, at first attributing the trouble to Sunday work, when employes drew double pay and, in many cases, "laid off' a week day for recreation, generally have discounted seven-day operation, except in emergencies.. But every day's muster still has its list of absentees, obviously a serious blow to efficiency. But "slackerism" is an offense of the minority. The real spirit of the shipyards is typical of America at war. Propaganda plays its part, a telling one, and by means of competition in construction, honor rools of high production and noonday meetings designed to emphasize the importance of the shipworkers' share in the national effort, enthusiasm maintained at a high pitch and is reflected in output. Every plant has its school, where bridgebuilders and structural iron workers learn to erect steel ships and where house carpenters are taught the principles of wooden null construction. In both branches of the Industry, as well, many laborers have passed tests which have rated them as skilled workmen. In the yards of the Submarine Boat Corporation at Newark, the "school gangs" have built and launclfed three 5,500 ton steel freighters, an inspiring example of the American way of doing things' when they have to be done. The shipyards army, like the khaklclad force whose going to foreign soil called it into being, is an organization

of youth: At Newark an 83-year-old Civil war veteran directs work on an outfitting pier, but this is an exception. Less of an oddity is a negro boy of 16 who is operating a "gun," as yard phraseology terms the compressed air riveting machine. Men' in the twenties and thirties, with fewer in the forties and fifties, are building the American merchant marine. :4 War Impelled Haste. Shipyard mechanical appliances, like the men who operate them, largely are a product of war time demands. Railroads, cranes and derricks which travel in yards and on piers have supplanted the cruder and slower means of carriage of former years, and a wide use of fabricated steel parts wholly pepared for erection at the mills where they are rolled has put speed Into shipbuilding. The bull riveter, an appliance which drives 7,000 rivets a day to 1,000 by the hand process, has made its appearance in some of the yards and is employed to erect entire sectlins of hulls, which are swung into place by derricks. While wooden ship construction must remain in a great degree a task for the. Ijuman hand, its produc tion has been hastened by a resort to. many new, mechanical auxiliaries. And what of the product of this war-impelled, haste? Thes hips speak for themselves.. Some of them lack the finish which was the old-time shipbuilder's pride. Equipment and fittings -are held down to a minimum in keeping with serviceability. But the demand is- for cargp space, and designs are drawn to meet it. Wooden vessels, mostly of 3,500 deadweight tons and averaging $600,000 in cost, are equipped ' with coal burning en. gines. Steel ships, which range from 3,500 to 12,000 tons and cost $750,000 to $2,500,000, are being adapted in many cases to fuel oil. On every craft is a gun platform, on the larger ships, two, grim reminders of that international lawlessness which challenged American courage and resourcefulness to a performance which has amazed the world. The months of 'getting ready are past in the North Atlantic shipyards. The ordeal of selecting from thous-

Canadians and French Aid Each Other in Attack

BEHIND THE FRENCH LINES. Sept 27. -Two striking instances of the cohesion and fellowship existing between the French and British forces occurred recently. At a certain point of the front line, a Canadian regiment, thirty per cent of whom spoke French, were attacking side by, side, with French troops. The Canadians were . hard pressed by the Germans in front, who were occupying a wood and holding it with machine gun defenses. They appealed to the French regiment on their right tor assistance, and the French troops immediately advanced, completely turning the position and enabling the Canadians to advance in their turn.' v. Shortly afterward the French were similarly held up and appealed to the Canadians, who immediately attacked and saved the situation. , Throughout there was complete har

mony in command, and even machine guns were more than once interchanged between the units. ,- When a halt for the night was made, the two regiments messed and bivouacked together.

Aged

People

THE BANE of old age is constipation. The bowels become weak and unable to perform their functions without aid. For this purpose only the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used. The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age and older on account of their gentle action.
