"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

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. Then, after j
! having been advised of the method by i
| which the order of liability for ser-j

board will prepare a list of persons j
.designated for service in the order of;
I their liability, post the list, give it to S
the press and within three days send '
| notice to each. designated person by'
! mail.
I As the men so notified appear, the
; boards first will make a physical.

Ifchng for Exemption. J
Claims .for exemption because of;
dependents may be made by the man;
! himself, his wife or other dependents,'
j or by a third party who has person- j
ally investigated the case. A claim \
----- . . - i
i made by the fiusDana must t>e accom-i
panied by supporting affiravits signed
by the wife and by the head of a fam-j
ily residing in the same territory. A |
I claim by a wife or ^thirj^party must'
be accompanied "by tv/o supporting j
affidavits signed hy heads of families. J
Similiar roles govern claims on thej
grounds of other dependents, the de-!

? ~ ~
thorized to*file claims with, supporting
affidavits. In each case the ;
board must be satisfied before it
grants exemption or discharge that!
the dependent of dependents actually!
are supported mainly by the fruits of!
the man's mental or physical labor.
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. If the ruling of a local board is j
affirmed the person in question stands,'
finally acepted for military service.)

actually is necessary to the mainte-i

"The evidence must also establish,";

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. It will be the duty of

: 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.
