Seven days after designations are posted will be allowed for filing claims. Then there will be an addi tlonal allowance of 10 days for filing proofs, and the board must decide within three days after the proof is filed. When the case of any registrant has been disposed of so far as the local board is concerned, the names of those not exempted or discharged will be posted. Claims for exemption for agricultural or industrial work must be made within five days after such costing and must go direct to the higher board sitting for the judicial district. Appeals from the rulings of local boards must be made to the higher board within ten days. The circular does not cover the summoning of the men for actual serv ice. pointing out that selection and ac ceptance do not mean an immediate summons. Even the time of the draw ing is not specified, but issuance of the circular is taken to mean that the work of selection may be in progrese within a few days.

The abdication of Hsuan Tung, the youthful Emperor, who was placed on the throne of China only a week ago by General Chang Hsun. It is indicated by Pekin dispatches, followed upon the defeat of the imperialist forces by re publican troops at Lang Fang, south of Pekln, and the desertion of many of Chang Hsun's soldiers. The Forbidden City virtually is hemmed in on all sides, and the Pekin- Kalgaln railway, Chang Hsun's only means of escape northward, is in the hands of the republicans, who are hold ing Nankow Pass. The engagement at Lang Fang. Reuter's correspondent at Pekln says, was not severe, and General Chang Hsun's iorces retreated to Feng Tai several miles south of Pekln, without offering much resistance. The foreign diplomatic representa tives in Pekin, according to a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company, were expected to mediate between the opposing forces at the request of the imperialists.

Millions of-Tons of Iron Ore Forwarded to Enemy, Re port to Washington Shows. HIGH RATE CHARGED ALLIES HANSON MAY BE SELECTED Washington Politician Suggested to Succeed Will Parry. Favoritism In Use of Railroads Is Exposed and Step Suggested to Force Idle Ships Into Merchant Services. WASHLVGTOJf, July 8. An official report just made to the American Gov ernment showing' the extent to which Sweden Is furnishing supplies to Ger many reveals that the Central Powers are receiving enormous quantities of materials that go directly Into the man ufacture of munitions. In exporting iron ore to Germany, Sweden, It is shown, has supplanted shipments with imports from the Unit ed States. What this Government will do to end this trade through operation of the ex port control act has not been an nounced, but some of the allies, it is known, are urging the United States to license no food exports to Sweden until a definite understanding has been reached with the Swedish government concerning her exports to Germany. Iron Ore Shipments Huge, Iron ore shipments from Sweden to Germany, the report made to this Gov ernment declares, have reached a total of 9,000,000 tons in the last two years, representing an amount equal to Swe den's entire pre-war export. Another charge agrainst Sweden made in the report is that she discriminated against the allies In the use of her railroads. Overland shipments through Sweden between Norway and Germany have been encouraged, it is declared. while the allies have been subjected to every inconvenience and have been charged exorbitant rail rates. 600,000 Tom Are Idle. Sweden's action In holding within her ports a large amount of merchant tonnage is dealt with in the report, which declares 600.000 tons is lying idle. Sweden's total tonnage Is about 1.000.000 tons dead weight, of which she requires about 400,000 tons for her own export and import trade.. The allies, unable to force Swedish tonnage in the world's trade routes, now look to the United States for help and, it is said, believe her shipping will be put into service if the United States and Great Britain come to an arrange ment as regards bunkering. Coal, under this arrangement, would be refused to ships of any nation re fusing to put ships into services the al lies demanded should be kept open by neutral ships.

Modem Bookkeeping "Every bookkeeping department needs a 'safety valve,' " says Mr. R. 0. Morgan, Credit Manager of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, South Bend, Ind. That is what he calls the proof sheet He knows the need for and the value of "control" in bookkeeping, which the proof sheet gives. His books were formerly kept by twelve hand bookkeepers. There was no way of locating errors at once; no means of absolutely checking the accuracy of each day's work; no record to help in checking back over the month's work. . With the installation of four Elliott-Fisher Bookkeeping Machines; Mr. Morgan established "Proof Sheet Control." Now he writes: "The Oliver Chilled Plow Works has not had to check back the postings on a single ledger since Control was established. It is an achievement never accomplished by us under the' hand system, and the simple explanation of this record is the proof sheet. " Mr. Morgan frankly admits he was at first skeptical with reference to the advantages of the proof sheet, and even desired to curtail its use. But now, he says, "results have proven conclusively the advisability of the proof sheet. It is a feature of the utmost importance. The system not only lightens the burden in this depart ment, but has done much to simplify the statements which go out to dealers.
