IWH large power places? with local exemption boards i There Will Be No Class Releases, As] Each Case Must Stand Alone After Thorough Investigation?Appeal Allowed. j : j "Washington, July 2? Regulations U govern the next step toward selec-, ting a national war army from the' millions registered for the service onj June 5 were issued today at the direc-j tion of President Wilson. They leave to 3>e prescribed later the manner ofj determining the order of liability of tfce men registered, l>ut set forth in' great detail the method of arriving at i exemptions and the work generally of, ike local district boards already named to carry out the task. Little Added to Draft Law. Exemption regulations add little to the terms of the draft law; the question of irtiether a man between the ages of 21 and 31 is entitled to exemp-: lion because of dependents', the nature of his occupation or physical unfitness being for the boards to decide after proper investigation. It is made rery clear, however, that there are zo she no class exemptions and that each individual case must be decided upon . its merits. The local boards?one for Jf each county of less thai} 45,000 population or city of 30,000 with additional boards where necessary for each additional 30,000 population?will pass upon claims for exemption except those based upon industrial or agricultural occupation, subject to appeal to the district boards. AJ cases involving agricultural or industrial exemptions will be passed upon by the district boards?one for each federal % idiftirict?which will also de cide appeals from decisions of the lo'"board?. In the near future a dats will be ?et by Brig. Gen. Cro^der, provost aarshal general, for the meeting and ifr&inazation of the boards. At the -?ame. time it is expected that the regu-, ? ? ? ?411 Wn nw\nviil<rot<Ml CA tivat KIUUU3 Will LTC yivuiui^avvu w ?? ? t&e process may be under way with-' cut delay. The present intention is to xjall the men selected to the colors j bout September 1, or as soon there- j after as the cantonments to house i them can be completed. In. a statement accompanying t!ie announcement of the filiations the president called upcn the boards to do their work fearlessly and impartially and to remember that "our arsiies at | tte front will be? strengthened andj eustained if they be "composed of men j tree from any sense of injustice in] their mode of selection." Tbe &t&ement. j The statement follows: "The regulations which I am today j causing to be promulgated, pursuant j to the direction of the selective ser-! T?je law, cover the remaining steps of! the plan for calling into the service! of the United States qualified men; .from those who have registered; taose | selected as the result of this process to contribute, with the regular army, the national guard and the navy, the Aghtine forces of the nation, ail of which forces are un-oier the terms ' of the law o.'acec in ^ p^ition of equal right.j -tffcnity and responsibility with the members of all other military forces. "The regulations have been drawn with a view to the needs and circum-j stances of the whole country and pro-! Tide a system which it is expected wnij work with the least enequality and] personal hardship. Any system , ^selecting men for military service whether voluntary or involuntary in its operation, necessarily selects some men to bear the burden of danger and sacrifice to the whole nation. The system here provided places all men of military age upon an even plane, and then, by selection which neither '.favors the one nor penalizes the other, calls out the requisite number for | service. "The successful operation of this law and of these regulations depends necessarily upon the loyalty, on the patrioism and justice of the members of the "boards to whom its operation * is committed, and I admonish every j member of every district fcoard to reTiew that their duty to their country requires an impartial and fearless j, performance to the deliccte and difficult duties intrusted to them. They . hould remember as to the individual case presented to the/n that they are called upon to adjudicate the most sa-f ered rights of the individual and to! preserve unvarnished the honor of the j nation. Armies Strengthened by Justice ; "Our armies at the front will be j strengthened and sustained if they be | composed of men free from any sense j of injustice in their mode of selec- j tion, and they will be inspired to loi- j tier efforts in behalf of a country which the citizens called upon to per-! form high public functions, perform j them with justicc, fearlessenss ^ndj impartiality." lUpon organizing, the local boards j will take over from the registration < boards all registration cards, whichj they will nurnter serially, and list forj posting to public view.

Local boards are required, subject to appeal, to pass upon claims or ex emption or discharge within three j days after the filing of affidavits. District hoards must decide appeal cases within five days after the closing of proofs and their decisions are final.

I Certain Industries May Be Exempted. Later the president may from time to time designate certain industries or classes of industries that are necessary and the district boards will be so notified.

I j : SINK AT LEAST ONE SUBMARINE j DURING FORCEFUL ATTACK j Last Contingent of Expeditionary j Force Arrives Safely in France? >0 American Ship Hit and >"o Life Lost. | Washington, July 2.?Safe arrival at ; a French r>ort of the la?t ships of j the first American overseas expedi| ticn was announced tonight hy Secj retary Daniels in a statemect revealinging that twice on the way across i the Atlantic German submarines at; tacked in force and were fought on ! by convoying warships. I Tiie American did not Jose a man, a ship or an animal. At least one of the undersea enemies was -destroyed. The work of spies through whom the Germans knew secrets of the expedition is disclosed by the news that first attack was made far at sea before the transports and their convoys reached the point at which a rendezvous had been arranged with the American destroyer flotilla operating in European waters. The submarine commanders apparently knew where and when to expect the Ar ericans bound for the fighting lines in France and were assembled in force to maet them. It was yesterday just a week after! the first troops landed that the la3t vessels put into the French port. They were slower craf, carrying supplies and horses. The good news came to the navy department late this afternoon from Rear Admiral Gleaves. commanding the convoy squadron, and was made public at once as an appropriate announcement on the eve of the Fourth of July. Secretary Daniel's statement! which tells al 1 of the story deemed wise to publish, follows: 3fei?8 Bronght Belief. Although it had been known for days that all of the troops were safe after the successful battles of their convoys with the submarines, the news of the arrival of the supply and animal ships was received with undisguised relief and joy. Secretary Daniels hastened to Secretary Baker's - j i I office witn nis caDiegrain ana e*cu<iiig-1 e?i hearty congratulations. President Wilson was notified, and I then the war secretary turned to his j stenographer and dictated his letter j expressing the army's gratitude to the navy for its splendid service. No details to add to Secretary Dan- j iels' statement will he made public- j for tlie present. Nor will officials dis- j cuss further the significance of the j fact that the Germans had accurate: advance knowledge of the American j armada's coming. Every possible effort is being made to search out the avenue of communication and identify the spies whose efficiency was dis- j closed wiien uie Germans were iu-| formed in advance of the crossing of j the American destroyer flotilla sent to Europe soon after war was deblared to exist. Secretary Daniels tonight cabled :-ongratulations to Rear Admiral Grleaves and to Vice Admiral Sims, commanding American naval forces' in European waters. i IJISAMKOI'S WRECK ON SEAHOARD >EAli RALEIGH liolli Engineers uiid Two Traininea Dead?
