GOVERNMENT HUNTS
FOR DRAFT JOKERS
Authors of Spurious Numbers
Will Be Sought by Every
Agency in State.
rUN MAY BE DANGEROUS
Authorities Fear That Slen Whose
Karnes Are Drawn Later Will Xot
Report and That Entire Ma
chinery Will Be Checked.
United States secret service men, all
deputies in United States Attorney
Heames' office and the forces of Adjutant-General
White's office were put to
work last nisrht to run down the in
stigators of the report that the selec
tive draft was already in progress and
that numbers had been posted.
Adjutant-General White announced
that "Jokes" of this kind would not be
tolerated, particularly in view of the
fact that false alarms are likely to
cause the real draft drawings to be
received, with incredulity.
United States Attorney Beames an
nounced that such a "joke" would
frustrate the Government's purpose in
many ways and cause confusion and
that his men had been ordered to round
up all perpetrators of the apparent
hoax.
Joke to Cause Trouble.
The Federal department has decided
that someone started the list of num
bers as a rractical joke designed for
the benefit of certain men known to
have the numbers used in the spurious
report.
"It is very palpably a practical Joke,"
said Attorney Reames, "but the conse
quences will be severe. This depart
ment has every man available at work
locating the originators of the report
and those now spreading it- They will
be arrested and prosecuted for circum
venting; the Government in a serious
business."
The Adjutant-General's office was
considerably disturbed yesterday by re
peated calls for additional information
and the newspapers were similarly
bothered. Heads of departments of
some of the downtown stores received
surreptitiously cards bearing the num
bers which affected many of their em
ployes. Numbers Cause Much Goaafp. -
From whom the card came none
eeemed to know. It merely bore a
certain series of numbers and ran true
to form in several different places,
which makes Attorney Reames feel
sure that a practical Joker is at work.
The spurious numbers were the crux
of ail street-corner conversation last
night and were taken seriously by many
men.
Mr. Reames and General White both
fear that the report will be received
bj- many men as true and that these
men later, when the official call Is
made, will not receive it. or will think
they have been exempted, and. thereby
not only face serious consequences
themselves, but tangle the intricate
machinery which has been prepared to
handle the selective draft, t '
524 Knliat Since June 5.
Enlistments by men of military asre
1 to 30 years, inclusive in all branches
of the military and naval service in
Oregon since War Census day, June 6,
totxl 624.
The figures were compiled yester
day by Adjutant-General George A.
White. Considering the fact that prior
to June 5 Oregon had between 5000
and 6000 men in various branches of
the Federal military and naval service,
this is considered a remarkable show
ing. The final shipments of duplicate reg
istration cards sent in from the vari
ous counties to be filed in the Adjutant-General's
office as a necessary
preliminary to the draft will arrive to
day. Cards are still out from Curry,
Malheur. Lake and Baker, but are in
the mall en route to Portland. When
these cards are received and filed Ore
pon will be ready for the draft. As
usual, Oregon was the first state to
report Its readiness.
SUPPLIES TO llf READY
WAR DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY
EQUIPPED 300,000 MEN.
Clothing; and Camp Equipment for
First Million Troops to Be De
livered by September 1.
WASHINGTON. July B. Clothing and
camp equipment for the first million
men of the new Armies will be deliv
ered by September 1, the tentative date
for the mobilization of the first incre
ment of the National Army. A state
ment issued by the War Department
fays adequate supplies for all the Na
tional Guard and National Army will
be available by the time the troops are
called out.
The department already has equipped
800.000 men. National Guards and regu
lars, and the troops in France have
-with them stores to last six months.
The main shortage was In tentage
material. The original plan of putting
the National Guard in cantonments, the
statement says, was due to this. It
was abandoned when, with the co-operation
of the supply committees on
the National Defense Council, Quartermaster-General
Sharpe was able to
procure what was needed, inasmuch as
numerous carpet and other manufac
turers have completely revised their
plants in order to meet the Govern
ment's needs promptly.
Tents for more than half a million
men will be ready September 1, which
Is more than will be needed by that
time.

Liquor at 4 A. M.
EUGENE, Or.. July 5. (Special.) Ira
Gilstrap's conception of his duties as
a special Fourth of July policeman at
Junction City may prove the undoing
of Thurman Berry, serving as a special
officer for the Southern Pacific Com
pany, with access to the Junction City
Jail.
Gilstrap's first official act after re
ceiving his commission was to make
an inspection of the Jail in which he
found a large valise. In it he found
13 quarts of whisky. He told mem
bers of the City Council of his discov
ery and it was decided to call the Sher
iff. Sheriff J. C. Parker went to Junction
City last night and took possession of
the liquor, leaving the valise full oi
wooden blocks and a deputy on guard.
Berry put in an appearance at 4 o'clock
this morning, when the deputy chal
lenged him.

'WHIP THE KAISER'
SHIPYARD SLOGAN
F. C. Knapp, of Peninsula Com
pany, Impresses on Work
ers Need of Haste.
FORCE WILL BE DOUBLED
Ways Being Cleared to Start on
Fonr Government Contracts Now
Held and Space for Two More
Will Be Added Soon.
"Whip the Kaiser" Is th slogan at
the property of the Peninsula Ship
building Company, foot of McKenna
avenue, and from K. C. Knapp, presi
dent of the corporation, down to the
water boys, they are imbued with the
same spirit.
The way they are coins' to aid In
whipping- Germany's Imperial ruler Is
by building ships. Mr. Knapp returned
from Washington Sunday after having:
spent most of his time at the National
capital since the first week In Feb
ruary. He gained a comprehensive in
sight into preparations being made In
tne tremendous war game, and the
basis of all, he says, is ships.
.very worker at the plant knows the
country today depends on ships. Re
gardless of how they figure the per
centage of ships lost through sub
marines as compared with the re
mainder of the allied fleets, Mr. Knapp
nslsts that more ships and still more
ships Is the need, so he has cleared that
yard for action.
Four Contracts Held.
Two vessels remaining of four orig
inally laid down have been sold, ac
cording to announcement yesterday.
The third vessel is being finished and
the fourth will be launched next week,
and both will, go Into the Atlantic
trade. The first two were sold to Nor
wegians before America entered into
the war, and they will be on their way
as soon as machinery installations are
complete.
The rush for Government ships Is
next. The company actually has con
tracts to build four steamers, but, as
with other yards, it is assured more
will follow when the first are well
along, and the company officials have
settled down to a continued shipbuild
ing programme so long as shins figure
in the war.
The first Government steamer has
about 50 frames in place. The second
s started and will soon be well along
as to frames. The keel of the third
has been laid, and that for the fourth
will be placed on the blocks as soon
as the auxiliary schooner is launched
next week. Then Mr. Knapp is figur
ing on constructing the fifth and sixth
sets of ways.
Force to Be Doubled.
The force today numbers 300 men.
A week from today It will iiave a per
sonnel of 600 workers, and "names of
all applicants from today on will be
listed, so as soon as the word is passed
to double the force they will be no
tified. Then. too. there will be two shifts
employed on construction work and
probably three shifts on sawing frames
and in the shops.
"If the new men to be employed are
as loyal as those on the payroll today
we can get these ships out in record
time," said Mr. Knapp, "but it must "be
understood by them that they 'are
doing their bit.' The country needs
this tonnage as It never required any
thing before. Every day we save on
turning out the vessels will add that
much to shortening the period of the
war. We must land supplies, munitions
and troops on the other side. It is not
a question of a definite number of ves
sels. The yards of the United States
will be called on to build every ship
possible, both wooden and steel. That
work will stop when the war ends or
a change In present conditions ellm
inates the necessity for more carriers.
Doty Held Patriotic.
"Every father, mother, wife, sister
and brother is concerned In bringing
tne war to a close, it reaches every
one of us. Therefore, the sooner we
provide this big American, fleet the
sooner we will realize our prayer. It
Is not a question of money. The Penin
sula Shipbuilding Company will make
8 per cent on undertaking this task.
Why, that much and more could be de
rived through lending the money In
volved on mortgages. I speak plainly
because I have been where these facts
are driven home every hour of the day.
it is saia tne west does not realize the
seriousness of this war. Perhaps not.
but It Is coming home to all of us fast.
and as Oregon has given and is giving
ner sons, just as sne nas given her
funds to the Red Cross and backed the
country with her wonderful response
to the war bond campaign, so will she
be in the front rank of shipbuilders.
"I am not pessimistic. I believe We
will win, but to win we must build
until our resources are strained for the
cause.
