draft boards, instructing them that"after the receipt of this order no

aeoess shall be given to records of]«e<U boards on the part of any per¬son whatsoever not a board memberor a member of the clerical forcespecially authorised thereto by theboard."The order marks the passing of the

ciroumstances whatever, it is ordered,¦ball local boards withdraw or permitany one else to withdraw any paperswhatever now in the board flies or

hereafter placed in such flies."A scrupulous observance of the

foregoing rules is essential," Gen.Crowder stated, "in order that therecords themselves Bhall not be viti¬ated and in order that the local boards¦hall be protected against the impor¬tunities of registrants and againstserious charges to which any othercourse would lend color and mightgive substance.

How Becords Will Be Used."The proper and Just administration

of the war risk insurance act and offuture pension laws of the country*¦111 in many cases depend almost ex¬

clusively upon data contained in theserecords, which will likewise have a¦vital relationship to charges of de¬sertion and delinquency Involving thehonor of thousands of registrants."In addition to the foregoing," Gen.

Crowder concluded, "it Is from theserecords that the history of this warmust in good part be compiled, andfrom them also must come information.f the last value as to man power inease of any future war. For these rea¬sons it is a matter of the highestpatriotic duty on the part of the wholeBoard, from which no board membercan escape, to see to it that these rec¬ords are kept absolutely true and in¬tact."

Time Oat to Less Than 20 Days..Local boards of the District today

found the time allotted for the com¬

pletion of all work on questionnairesand other draft records had been cut4ow«i to less than twenty days, instead.f the sixty days which the boardmembers understood they were al¬lowed.

ovan, director of the local draft work,said. "There is no 'can' about It.itwill be done by December 9."

In addition to the completion of allclassification work on registrantsnineteen to thirty-six years old andthose eighteen years old. the board areasked by Provost Marshal GeneralCrowder to complete their annual re¬port for incorporation in the annualreport to be submitted to Congress byGen.

American Commander, atArmy's Head, ProclaimsStatus of Occupation.

By the Associated Press. '

LUXEMBURG. November 21.Gen.Pershing entered the city of Lux¬emburg this afternoon ahead ofhis troops. The American commander-in-chief and his staff drove Into thecapital in automobiles. The generalwas greeted by thousands of cheeringLuxemburgers, and with the blowingof sirens and the ringing of church andschool bells.Gen. Pershing issued a proclamation

shortly after the entry of the Ameri¬cans which said:"After the four years of violation of

your territory, the grand duchy ofLuxemburg has happily been liberated.Your liberation from German occupa¬tion has been demanded of the in¬vaders by the armies of the Americansand the allies as one of the conditionsof the present armistice. It becomesnecessary now for the American troopsto pass through the grand duchy ofLuxemburg and to establish and main¬tain therefor a certain time their linesof communication."The American troops have come

into the grand duchy of Luxemburgas friends and shall rigorously con¬duct themselves according to Inter¬national law. Their presence, whichshall not be prolonged more thanshall be strictly necessary, shouldnot be for you a hardship. The func¬tioning of your government and yourinstitutions shall not be interferedwith in any manner. Your life andyour occupations shall not be molest¬ed. Your persons and your welfareshall be respected."It will be necessary for the Amer¬

ican Army to use certain things.railroads, telegraphs and telephones,and perhaps other public establish¬ments for the needs of lodging andtransport: furthermore, the com¬modities which become necessary forus shall be paid for after just esti¬mates.

"It is presumed you will not permitany acts of aggression against theAmerican Army or give any Informa¬tion or aid to its enemy. You will al¬ways conform to the instructions thatthe American commander, for thesafety of his troops and your properprotection, may give."Incidental to the reception of the

American forces in this grand duchy,a proclamation Issued by the nationalunion, one of the political parties,was posted throughout the capital. Itread:

National Union Proclaims."To our deliverers, the glorious

troops of the entente and America:"The people of Luxemburg bid you

welcome. On the second of August,1914, German forfeited her honor byviolating her solemn engagements re¬garding Luxemburg. The governmentthen In power did nothing with theexception of protesting against theviolation of the territory, whereasthe people wanted to break all rela¬tions with the Invaders."Suffering Insuperable humiliations

the population has disdainfully re¬jected all offers of conciliation comingfrom Its oppressors. We know ourcountry ha, been calumniated andthat our people have been basely ac¬cused of connivance with the enemy."Luxemburgers protest energetically

against any accusation casting doubton the sincerity of their attitude dur¬ing the world war."The reception of your troops will

be the best proof of the purity of ouraspirations and of our sympathy. Weknow that. In conformity with theprinciples which have been proclaimedby the allied governments and forwhich you have fought, our Independ¬ence will be maintained, our ricbtsconsecrated, our treaties respectedand oar liberty consolidated."The blood of Its children which

flowed with your own in the sublimecause of liberty authorizes our peo¬ple to express these wishes. It hearti¬ly desires to be allowed by your vic¬torious armies to keep this device:'We want to remain what we are.'"May Its deliverers dispel Its appre¬hensions. It will have for them eter¬nal gratitude."

Why the Kaiser Was Not Crowned.To the Editor of The Star:The article In Sunday's Star re¬

ferring to the late kaiser as "NeverGiven Formal Coronation" Interestedme very much, for I remembered hav-Ing read at the time of his ascensionto the throne about his disappoint¬ment and chagrin in not beingformally crowned. In addition to thestatements in the article in Sunday'spaper, I have read another in, I think,the New York Tribune, stating thatwhen the council of iptnisters was insession making plans for a formalcoronation the kaiser entered the.council chamber and addressed oneof the ministers as "my vassal," andordered this minister to do some er¬rand for him. The minister and hiscolleagues were so incensed that theywould not vote the money for the ex¬

penses of the coronatlop nor supportthe kaiser as Emperor of Germany.So that is, I believe, the reason forthat part of the statement that "Wil¬liam had foregone the pleasure of a

spectacular coronation on the scoreof expense." I am glad you have pub¬lished this fact, for I have oftenquoted the article I previously read,and I have thought people did notunderstand or they did not believeme. BERTHA M. ROBBINS.

NOTE THIEVES SOUGHT;BUREAU MEN DISCHARGEDTwenty-yon? Employe* of Drying

Boom, Entire Force, LopeTheir Positions.

Investigation of disappearance ofincomplete notes from the bureau ofengraving and printing has resultedin the dismissal from the service oftwenty-four employes of the drytngroom. All are colored men and com¬pose the entire force.From 76 to 100 sheets, losses over

a considerable period, were unac¬counted for about three months age.This represents a face value of ap¬proximately $3,000. The notes wereincomplete only in the absence ofnumbering and seal, but were other¬wise perfect and would have beensuspicious only to experienced scru¬tiny.A search of the drying room, from

which all the losses were registered,disolosed $2,500 in such incompletenotes concealed there. Acting Direc¬tor Fisher, in the absenoe of DirectorWilmeth. requested permission, pend¬ing investigation, to suspend mem¬bers of the drying room foroe. Thesecret service was aalled in.The secret service agent, in his in¬

vestigation, examined and searchedthe employes of the drying room.Four men were found to be pistol-toters and a fifth wak armed with aknife. These were turned over to thepolice.The loss, having been reduced to ap¬

proximately ?500, is not regarded asserious. However, every effort willbe made to trace the offender or of¬fenders, to be made an example of todeter others from like iniquity.All the banks of Washington have

been notified and warned to look outfor such notes without seal or num¬ber. Some of them have shpwn upin deposits.
