With ten million men listed in t.ie order of their liability to service, the Federal Government began today Its last task of preparation for organization of a selective draft army the task of determining who among those chosen shall be exempt.

The extensive Improvements at the water works, Including the installation of new pumps increasing the pumping capacity, to 30,000,000 gallons each 21 hours, necessitate the cutting of the present large mains for the Introduction of new valves, etc. All consumers much interest themselves in conserving the water supply. Street flushing and street and lawn epinkling Is absolutely forbidden. Users of motor washers are also included. In whatever way water can be saved, care must be taken.

Every facility is provided before the work is begun to expeditiously complete it and continuous shifts will be at work. Announcement of the full use of water will promptly follow the Installation. (Signed) THOMAS J. ROTH, Supt. Division Water.

This notice does not mean that the supply will be entirely shut off! The town is this hot weather being furnished from ten to twelve million gallons of water a day through three big mains 36 in. 30 in. and 24 in. On ac- rcount of the improvements, the two largest mains will be cut, and the supply will come through the 24 In. pipe, something like five to six million gallons a day.

This means that people will not be required to store water in bottles, pitchers, kettles and wash boilers, but that water must be conserved, so that the half-supply will reach around.

Samuels Son. THE ALHN FAIR May Go To Menges Farm If Govern ment Seizes Present Fair Grounds The visit of Surgeon General Gor-gas to the United States Ambulance Camp at the Allerytown Fair Grounls the past week has revived, the rumor that these grounds will never again see an AUentown Fair, but be seized by tne Government as the site of a permanent cantonment. Some of the officers of the camp are of the belief, that the United States will have to tear a book from the pages of history as tne result of the present war, and adopt a permanent policy of preparedness, with camps at various places where the youth of the country will receive military training. Having provel ideal for tne Ambulance Camp, It Is known that some of the officers have recommended to higher authorities that this place toe transferred into a permanent cantonment. Tne officers of the Great AUentown Fair are openly discussing the possibility of not recovering the present Fair Grounds, but the society has no idea of aibandoing the AUentown Fair, one of the best in the country, unsurpassed as a sporting event on i big scale, and unrivaled for well-organized fun.

Since the AUentown Fair is a million dollar' Institution, tnere is no idea of letting It die out. Several years ago an effort was made, which almost succeeded, to sell the Fair Grounds, consisting of 56 acres, and valued at half a million for buMdlnar situ, anil mnvitwr nut of town on a site three or four times as large, where modern buildings could be ereoted -which would add much to the attractiveness of the Fair. The war and the establishment of the Ambulance Camp here may bring this project to. a head. The new site most spoken of is the Menges farm of about T50 acres, located In Salisbury Township, no farther from the city hall than the present Fair Grounds, which would be bisected if Eighth Street were extended a mile south.

There is no grove on this farm, but it has many trees and could easily be forested. Through this farm runs Trout Creek, a. beautiful stream, famous among anglers, and there is a two-million gallon spring that has often been spoken of as an additional course of water supply for the city. The Emaus trolley line runs- tnrough the farm, and by the construction of a mile of electric railway a loop could be formed that would give this place, as new site of a large and more modern AUentown Fair, adequate transportation facilities.

Men Can Enlist As Volunteers Until They Receive Their Drait Notices The following letter has been sent, from Harrislburg to all the recruiting suib-stations of the U. S.

Army 'The following instructions are being sent to you which affect the men who come within the ages of 21 and 31 who have registered and whose numbers are now being called. You will observe these rules, read them closely," and be sure to follow each point in detail: You may accept any man whose number is now drawn as it appears in the newspapers, black boards, or from whatever source they may receive until the man actually receives a notice by mail from the local exemption board stating tihat he is appear for physical examination. After a man receives such anotice, he cannot enlist anymore. When applications for enlistment are received, you will ask the applicant whether he has received a notice from his local board, and if he says no, you will explain to him that any statement he may to you which is false, he is liable for trial, not only under the' statutes which provides punishment for avoiding the draft, but also for fraudulent enlistment. Be very particular in this questioning.

You should visit as many of the local exemption boards in your district as may be possible in order to acquaint yourself with any rules or regulations whi'ch-may be posted for t'be beneflc of the men affected. You should use this argument to all men wno are eligible tor tne Urate, that they should now enlish in the R.Fegular Army while there is yet time and choose their branch of the service and get the valuable training which is no win progress in mar.y portions of the United States. Especially as to tiradedme'n, bakers, cooks, the men mentioned for positions in the Signal Corps which is now still open. 'Go to them in person and if you think they are liable to be drafted and cannot claim exemption try to land them for the Army. Sou can state on authority that Paragraph Section 18, Rules and Regulations prescribed by the President specify that any, person who enlisted in the Regular Army and is notified by any board to appear before it, all that they wiill have to dc Is to make an affidavit stating that they are in the military service of the United States and that will necessarily be attended to by the officers.

at the local exemption headquarters the order in which the numbers were drawn, make a memorandum of same, and try to, reich the men affected thereby making a personal appeal to them. to them that after they are called under the selective law, they will be pla'oed where their services are considered to tlie. best interest of the service, while xi thesy elect to enlist in the Regular Army they may not only choose t-heir branch of service but; reoeive their complete discharge at 'ttie; end of the war. Yau can exTairn that of necessity alt oT tneSTakonar Army will go to France or some other part of Europe on the actual firing line. If they do not want to fight, why not join the Bakery Company, or serve in the rear of the lines as a chauffeur in the Ambulance 'Seotion or as a tru'ek driver in, the same section? Every man in the United States knows his position on the list drawn today.

Explain to him that possibly every man who cannot claim exemption will be called to the colors until the 10,000,000 has been exhausted. Get after the men whose numbers follow closely those of the first 678,000 who will be drawn. Explain to them that they had ibetter get in while the good. It is only a question of a few days before they must answer the call. Get busy.

Go to it, because we may only haive a week or so longer for these men. After the first increment is drawn anot'her circular letter from this offiec will be mailed you explaining further details of the rules and regulations of the exemption board, don't forget the fact that only about one-eighth of the men will be called for the first army and you can get a whack at the rest of them or approximately 6,000,000 wiill be left for you to work among.

WEDDING 'EXCESS BREACH OF FROIMISE. -L wi ci Acuiut; mi gretui interest to the 4500 men of the camp today, which indicates that ofH'cers of the United States Army insist that the army can not be used as a refuge to escape obligations.

Brown kissed the girl, who Is exceptionally pretty, as he entered the and in a few minutes they came out to sign the license aplioation. The bridegroom was overcome and had to be Tevived, a matter that delayed the weddiivg a quarter of an hour. After the license had finally 'been legally issued, the wedding ceremony was performed "by Alderman iSshiffert, right in the marriage license office.
