The department of justice is preparing for a quick clean up of attacks on the constitutionality of the conscription law, says a Washington despatch. On the opening day of the supreme court's fall session, October 3, the government probably will move to dismiss the cases. The government's brief is already being drawn, it has been officially learned. The absence of specific authority in the fed-1 eral constitution for sending the National Guard troops out of the United States is giving the department's sleuths the greatest difficulty. This will be met, it is said, by pleading that the militia lost its identity as such when it was sworn into the federal service. LOST?A Cameo Lavallier somewhere about the defK-t, Sunday, Aug. I 19.
