There is noiblug more horriMe than th'-"-e shells, which cause, burning rounds and sut't'ivatc." s.is the North German Gazette. ' Viie Ger mans have nothing to con-pare with them." A controversy which has been on between tho county draft board and military advisory board on tho one sldo, and Postmaster MIms. of Med ford and Lloyd Wilson, star route mail carrlor between Prospect and Derby on the other side, has Just been settled by the postoffice depart ment at Washington, and Wilson must begin his tirmy service this week as a drafted man. Tho case was a peculiar ono nnd so far as known it Is tho first of Us kind to come up in tho United States. Postmasters and postal employes en gaged In tho transportation ot mails aro no longer exempt from the draft. Supposed Exempt When tho draft board named Wil sou ns ono of the 4 4 drafted men to leavo Saturday tor service at Fort McDowell, Wilson was in a quandary as according to tho rovlsed postal laws and regulations of tho postof fico department ho was exempt from military duty. Personally he was perfectly willing to do his bit in tho war, hut as star mail route carrier hotweqn tho two points abovo men tioned ho was under $5000 bond to tho government to carry out his con tract. Thereforo ho felt that It was his duty to his bondsmen to take ad vantage of the exemption stipulated in the postoffice department law, at least until ho could make arrange ments to have some one else take the ruuto off his hands. Ho applied to Postmaster Mims for advice and that official on reading up tho department laws and regula tions told Wilson that he was plainly exempted from military duty. Col. Minis so informed the draft board The board then referred tho case to the legal advisory board of which Judge- Crews Is chairman. Tho judge informed tho board that Wilson was not exempt. The section in tho re vised postal laws and regulations In dispute reads that "all postmasters and persons employed in the trans portation of mails shall be exempt from military duty." Held n.s Contractor When Informed of tho military ad vlsory board's ruling Postmaster Minis at once referred the matter to tho postmaster gencrnl for a, ruling. Ho received tho following answer by j telegraph today: "Wilson not en titled to exemption from draft be cause he Is mail contractor. If he w ill not sublet his servlco to suitable person, and his sureties refuse to provldu for service, then tho post master ut Prospect should employ servlco under section 1151 of the postal laws nnd advise this depart Sectlon referred to by you is obso lete." That settled it and Wilson Is busy- trying to mako arrangements which will protect his bondsmen and en able hi in to leave with tho other drafted men. The telegram from the postmaster general's office means that postot flce nnd mail employes engaged in tho transportation of malls aro not exempt from military service Einco tho ncv draft law went Into effect. This law evidently repealed all con flicting sections ot other laws relat ing to military servlco. POSSIBLY NO HOLIDAY FOR CONGRESSMEN WASHINGTON, July 3 Congress today disposed of much Important legislation, but encountered a variety of obstacles in tis program to re cess this week until August 10.

June C9, LLEGAL BOOZE Heemiso ol' the activitii'.s of Deputy j Shcrit i' MclMmM, whose specialty j heretolon has been in arresting speed violators, yesterday and today were busy ones in Justice Taylor's court in disposing of booze cases. MaDonald's nosing around at tho Kajrtc Point dance Saturday nijrht re sulted in n number of urrests Monday and Tuesday. Then lust niyht he ar rested Hcveu nicn on charges of im porting I'tpior from California. One of thoe arested was a soldier home on furlough. The federfll authorities will probably deal with his case. The most important arrests of lust niht were that of Jat Swayne the well and favorably known Applejrute raneher and stockman, and Wood Jeter, who is in his emuloy. They were arrested by McDonald on the Jack sonville road nnd in Sway tie's auto was found a quantity of liquor. Mr. Swaync at once exonerated Jeter from any collection with the booze and took all the blame on himself. Compulsory Guilty" In court today Swayne when asked if he were guilty at once replied, yes. but compulsory tfiully. ,ini' aam said that Jeter was blameless nnd should be released. Mr. Swaync ex plained that the liquor he had in his ear was for medical purposes i'or his personal use, and was to be u year's supply, lie stated further that be c:kuse of lus having suffered for seven years with dropsv, nt one time being confined 32 months in a hos pital, liquor wus an absolute neces sity to him to keep his system in or der. Koth Judge Taylor and County Prosecutor KoberU, ns well as the many people who know Pat Swayne. know that lie would not take liquor for bootlegging purposes. A fine of $J."0 was imposed. Jeter's case was to come up for hearing this after noon. McDonald's big haul came last niirht in Ashland about 11:30 p. m. when he arrested L. Ii. Helms, of Medford, a soldier in the aviation sec tion, who is home on furlough; S. Wilson and T. E. Wilson of Phoenix, J. Perry of Klamath Kalis, Kenneth Jerome of Medford. Threw Awny Hoozo McDonald charges that up in the Sikiyous they passed him in an auto and when he ordered them to stop speeded up for Ashland. He jumped into his waiting car and pursued them closely. On reaching Ashland the pursued men turned their car up a side street and all the way began throwing out bottle' of beer and whiskey, McDonald aerts. The dep uty sheriff claims that when he reached their ear he found five quart bottles of whiskey and three bottles of beer still left. The prisoners were taken to the county ail. Privnte Helms was brought before Prosecutor Koberts this morning nnd despite all urging and threats refused to sav who had bought the liquor or where it had been purchased. Pros ecutor lioherts then wired the storv of Helm's arrest aud his refusal to talk, to the federal district attornew at Portland and asked for advice as to course of proeedure. Helms was later arruiuned before Justice Tay lor and ns ease was continued until Tuesday nflernonn pending an an swer from the federal district attor n er. Katflo Point Komnl-up The other prisoners were held in jail all dav until the time of their trial which was cectcd to take place late this afternoon McDonald's K;iIe Point visit of Saturday night resulted in a number of arrests. Iuiis Kobertson of Ka ule Point pleaded guilty to having n half pint of whiskey in his possession and was fined 2,") and coN. Kob crt Harney, n!o of Ka.ule Point, pleaded tiiltv to the charge of in toxication and was fined and en-N. Wilbur Jack of Eagle Point 11 aded nd guilty to having liquor in hi wis-t'SM,.n and his trial was set for next Tuesday ntt'-rnonn. He was released under $200 bond. A complaint was alo sworn out anin-t William Lewis of Eagle Point on the charge of intoxication, but it could not lie served as he had gone to Cresi-Mit Citv. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY 1 FOR i VI.

The fact that the wcut'.ier lias lteen cooler the past few d.i.vs lirin'iiij; with it heavy dews in the hi'ly nnd mountains tends grout ly to Iielp the forest fire situation. Federal Forest Supervisor Ilar.kin returned to the city last nijilit from the fire in tlu- Crater national forest, about l'J miles north of Prospect, between I'nion nnd Castle peaks and reported that it was under control when he left, tiller burninsr over about 7110 acres of (he finest sugar pine in the national forest. However, this firo will have to be watched care fully because of the large amount of dead and dry timber mixed in with tltqr sugar pine. About twenty men were nt work on the fire nnd the major portion of them will be sent at once to help fight the fire at Hnbbit Kars on this side of the L'mpqun di vide, which has burned over from 'I'lO to 1)110 ncres of timber in the past three days but is now burning in brush land. Supervisor liankin will leave to superintend the fighting of this fire today or tomorrow, unless he should get word in the meantime that it is under control. The big fire which has been burning on the Klamath Indian reservation and in part of the Crater national forest, will be under control Anight according to word Supervisor Kankin received from that section Tuesday night. So far this fire has burned oV,cr 13,000 acres of open yellow pine. About 25 men nre still working on it. It was learned today that when the Prospect fire was nt its worst, Su pervisor Sparrow of Crater Lake Xa tional pnrk impressed V. M. Ker shaw, the well known Medford man, and the men of a party of relatives from California, with whom he was visiting the lake, into service as fire fighters. Mr. Kershaw arrived home from Crater Lake last night. Mrs. Y. T. Grieve, secretary of the Jackson County Patrol association, said this noon that so far ns she knew the fires in the Itutte Falls and other association territory were out or under control or ut least she had received no word from them and no calls- for more men yesterday nnd to day, nor hud any new fires been re ported, NINE-TENTS OF THE WORLD NOW AT WAR WASHINGTON', July 3.
