Scores of Young Men Seek to Evade
Service by Wedding—Near Riot
Precipitated by Refusal to Issue
Licenses to Conscripts.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1.—A near riot
was precipitated today when a great
bunch of young conscripts sought to
evade military service by securing
marriage licenses. When the clerks
in the license department refused to
issue licenses the mob became threat
ening and United States Marshals
were called to clean the hallways and
buildings of the slackers. The author
ities have announced that no young
man whose name was drawn for mili
tary service would be granted a li
cense to wed, and they are making
every effort to prevent slackers es
caping service.
For a time it was feared that the
clerks in the marriage license depart
ment would receive bodily harm, and
only the arrival of the marshals and
deputies prevented violence.

CATTLE EXHIBIT CMS CAL
DEGREE OE INTELLIGENCE
When Harry Warren drove the for

the animals exhibited a degree of in
telligence positively uncanny. Arriv
ing opposite the Frye-Bruhn Com
pany they lined up and hung around
until driven away, and then ran
across the street and again lined up
in front of Love-Whitley's butcher
shop, as if begging the gentlemen
conducting these establishments to
kill them and now save them the long
drive over the trail to certain death
at Fairbanks.

Enlist Your Dollars
In the War
In this time of our country’s crisis an idle dollar is
as much a “slacker” as an idle man. Are your dol
lars doing their duty?
•‘The Liberty Loan of 1917” invites the immediate
response of the American people. Every dollar sub
scribed will help make it a success. The quicker the
better.
Armies of dollars are an absolute necessity for
national defence. Unless the dollars at home
stand back of them, the soldiers in the Held can
not do their utmost to protect our households
