It has frequently been stated of late that the German troops attack in mass formation even in the face of machine gun and shell fire, a policy little short of suicidal under conditions of modern warfare. A Dutci army officer who has been an observer on the . -front] says that this is not strictly so. Hie . states that the attack has the appear-1 ance of a mass attack because it is composed of successive waves of in fantry. The rear- waves are kept in1 close formation to heighten the morale of the troops, burt the attack is not a mass attack, strictly speaking. The Germans charge in close order wh'len they have located what they consider the weak spot in the line of defense. Coercion. "Charley, dear," said young Mrs.I Torkins, "do you want me to vote?"

Thee'sa Reason" EXEMPTION RULES ISSUED BY WILSON PREPARATIONS FOR MOBILIZA TION HAVE ADVANCED AN OTHER STEP. Proces of Select'on Will Likely Not Be Made Known Until Drafting Time is Near. Washington.-Preparation for the mobilization of the first contingent of 625,00 troops of the new national army advanced another step when President Wilson promulgated the regulations to govern exemptions from military ser vice. In the order in which they must come there are three steps in the or ganization process of the national army as prescribed by Congress. They are registration, selection and exemption. The first step has been carried through. The regulations issued cover in detail the operation of the third step, exemption. Information concerning the second step in the series is still lacking, and officials are guarding closely the meth od by which selection is to be applied. The exemption regulation announc ed that the boards will be advised of the selection process later, although none of the steps prescribed except the organization of the boards can be carried out until the selection machin ery has furnishel the names of the men whose fitness and desirability for army service the boards are to judge. There is one hint as to how the selec tion machinery is to work. The local boards are directed upon organization to take over from the reg istration . precincts the cards and lists of the men registered on June 5, and, as their first duty, to provide a serial number for each registration card. This has given support to the belief that the selection is to be by number Reports were current recently that the selection drawing was to be made in Washington. May Delay Announcements. Presumably the process of selection will be announced only a short time before it is put in operation. When :hat will be is not known. September t has been the tentative date set for falling the 625,000 of the first contin ent to the colors for training. Prog ess with construction of the sixteen livisional cantonments for the troops will govern the action. It is believed here will be no serious delay. The exemption process will not take n great deal of time. It is difficult to ralculate the time the local boards will needin passing on the cases that come before them. The regulations provide that decision in any individual case shall not be delayed more than three lays by the local board, or an addi tional five days when appeal is taken to the district boards. The whole pro aess probably can be carried through In less than thirty days. There were no surprises in the ex 'mption regulations. The task of pass ng upon the individual cases is left mtlrely to the local boards. While the President reserves the right to desig iate industries necessary for the pub ic good, the question of whether re ention of any individual engaged in hose industries is essential is left to he boards. In a statement accompaning the nnjouncenment of the regulations, the 'resident. called upon the boards to o their work fearlessly and impar ally and to remember that "our ar iles at the front will be strengthen d and sustained if they be composed f men free from any sense of injus ice in their mnode of selection."' The tatement follows: The Statement. "The regulations which I am today ausing to be promulgated, pursuant o the direction of the selective ser 'ice law, cover the remaining steps f the plan for calling into the ser rice of the United States qualified aen from those who have registered; hose selected as the result of this rocess to contribute, with the reg ilar army, the national guard and the iavy, the fighting forces of the na ion, all of which forces are under ho terms of the law placed in a po ition of equal right, dignity and re ponsibility with the members of all ther military forces. "The regulations have been drawn writh a view to the needs and cir umstances of the whole country and >rovide a system which it is expected pill work with the least inequality mnd personal hardship. Any system >f selecting men for military service, w'hethier voluntary or involuntary in ts operation, necessarily selects some non to hear the burden of dlanger' and macrifice for the whole nat ion. The ;ystecm here provided places all men >f military age upon an even plane ird then, by a selection which neith 3r favors the one nor penalizes the )ther, calls out the requisit e numberm ~or service. Cthlis For Loyalty. "The successful operation of this aw and of these regulations depends lecessarily upon the loyalty3. pal riot sin and justice of the members of .he boards to whom its operation Is 30mmitted, and I admonish every memnber of every local board andl of avery district board to remember that :heir duty to their country requires Ln impartial and tearless performance :o the delicate and difficult duties iii. trusted them, They should remember 1s to each individual case presented :o them that they are called upon to ladjudicate the most sacred rights of the individual and e preserve tu. tarnished the honor of the nation., "Our armies at tho front will be strengthened and sustained if they be (:omposed of men free from any sere of injustice in their mode of selec tion, and they will be inspired to loft ier efforts in behalf of a country which the citizens called UIp~mI to per. form high public functions perform them with justice, fearlessness and impartially." To Post Names. Upon organizing, the local boards will take over from the registration boards, all registration cards, whicn they will number serially and list for posting to public view. Then, after having been advised of the method by which the order of liability for ser vice shall be determined and of the quota to be drawn from its territory (minus credits for enlistments in the national guard or regular army) each board will prepare a list of persons designated for service in the order of their liability, ,post the list, give it to the press and within three days send notice to each designated person by mail. "As the men so notified appear, the boards first will make a physical ox amination in accordance with special regulations to be provided, bearing in mind that all persons accepted by them will be re-examined by army surgeons. If the physical examina tion is passed successfully, then comes the question of exemption. "Persons who must be exempted or discharged by the local board in. elude: Those Exempted. "Offiiers of the United States. of the slates, territories and the District of Columbia, ministers of religion, students of divinity, persons in the military or naval service of the Unit ed States, subjects of Germany, all other aliens who have not taken out first papers; county or municipal offi cers, customhouse clerks, workmen in Federal armories, arsenals and navy yards, persons in the Federal service designated by the President for ex emption, pilots, merchant marine sail-. ors, those with a status with respect to dependents which renders their exclusion desirable (a married man with dependent wife or child, son of a dependent widow, son of a dependent, aged or infirm parent, or brother of dependent orphan child under 16 years of age); those found morally defi cient and any member of any well recognized religious sect existing May 18, 1917, whose creed forbids partici pation in war and whose religious 1 convictions accord with the creed. As to Dependents. "Claims for exemption because of dependents may be made by the manl himself, his wife or other dependents, or by a third party who has personally investigated the case. A claim made by the husband must be accompanied by supporting affid Vits signed by the wife and by the head of a family re siding in the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two supporting affi davits signed by heads of families. Similar rules govern claims on the grounds of other dependents, the de pendents of third parties being author ized to file claims with supporting, affidavits. In each ease the -board must be satisfied before it grants ex emption or discharge that the depen-! (lent or dependents actually are sup ported mainly by the fruits of the man's mental o'' physical labor. Appeas) tn Be Made. Local boar-ds are required, subject to appleal, to pass upon claims for ex empt ion or discharge within three days after the filing of affidavits. District boards must decide appeal cases within five days after the clod ing of proofs and their decisions are final. If the r-uling of a local board is affirmed the person in question stands finally accepted for military service. In passing on claims for exemptions on the ground of employment in ne cessary industrial and agricultural oc cupations, the district boards must be convinced that the particular enter pr-ise affording such employment ac tually is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment or na, tional interest during the emergency "The evidence must also establish," the regulations say, "even if the par ticular industrial enterprise is found necessary for one of the above pur poses, that the continuance of such person therein is necessary to the maintenance thereof and that he can not be replaced by another person without direct, substantial or materi al loss detrimental to the adequate and effective operation of the particu lar Industrial enterprise or agricul tural enterprise in which he is en. gaged." President Final Power. Later the President may from time to time designate certain industries or classes of industries that are neces sary and the district boards will be0 so notified. It will be the duty of each board, howvever-, to ascertain the avail able labor supplly for such industies outside1 the men calledl for service and( to take the result into consider at ion in (determnining such things. "if. in the opinion of the distr-ict hoard." this section of the regula t ions c-oncludes, "the direct, substan uial, material loss to any such indus trial or agricultural enterprise out wveighs the loss that would result fr-om failure to obtain the military service of any such person, a certifi. cate or discharge may be issue dto1 him. x x x." Certificates of exemption will not necessarily be permanent, They may be revoked with changing conditions, or may be granted only for prescribed periods. SUNDAYSCOL LEssoN (Dy E. o. SIE;RS, Acting Director of the Sunduy School Course of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917. Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 15. HEZEKIAH, THE FAITHFUL KING. LESSON TEXT-IlI Chron. 30:1. GOLDEN TEXT-He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.-Heb. 11:6. The reformation under Hezekiah is one of the bright and attractive spots in the latter history of the kingdom of Israel. It was a most thorough refor mation and God set his seal upon it in many wonderful ways. Teachers ought to give their classes a comp'e hensive view of all that liezekiah did, as recorded in II Chron., chapters 29-32. I. Hezekiah's Proclamation. (wv. 1-0). The proper introduction to this lesson would he to return to chapter twenty-nine and note the restoration of the worship of Jehovah. how it began in one man's heart, Ilezekinh; how he called the people to be clean (29:15), then called upon a cleansing of the house of God and its restoration (vv. 18, 19). How he called them to renewed sacrifice 1111 worshIp (vv. 20, 21). The restoration of the sin offering and of the burnt-offering, and the result of these offerings in the Le vitical music and in the worshIp of the great congregation (29, 28). The se quel of song always follows and ac ompanies a true revival of religion. [-aving consecrated themselves unto the Lord, Hezekiah sends out this )roclamation. The consecration of the ;eople, as referred in chapter 29, was very complete. (See vv. 31-30.) Heze diah was a man of deep discernment is well as of true piety. He saw the neaning of the sacrifice of redemption ind put the passover forward as the very heart-center of the worship of fehovah. (See vv. 1, 2.) Whoever un lerstands the passover, understands Sod's way of salvation. (See Exodus 12:13-23; I Cor. 5:7, 8; Ron. 8:25, 26; fohn 1:29.) Hezekiah did not confine is call to those of Israel alone, but Ixtended it beyond its borders to those )f Ephraim, thus manifesting the true missionary spirit. Hezekiah had am ple Scriptural warrant keeping this passover out of its regular order (vv. 9-18). God is not a God of time or place. Wherever obedience is possible, whether it be a matter of time or not, God approves. Hezekiah, however, did not act upon his own initiative, but sought counsel. (See v. 2.) The man who is the most clearly led of God is the man who is most eager and anxious to know how God is leading other men and \will listen most patient ly to their counsel. The fact that the people had not "gathered themselves. together at Jerusalem" for a long time, might have warranted a fur ther delay. Not so with this enthusi istie young king, Hie was not bound by precedent, but was anxious to please God. ii. Hezekiah's Exhortation (vv. 7 13). Hlezekiah began his exhortation )y calling attention to tihe trespasses f their fathers (v. 7). At the same time he reminds the'm that if God gave them over to desolation because they themselves were stiff-necked (v. 8) 'Ind yielded not themselves unto the Lord to enter his sanctuary, which he liad sanctified unto them, they wiould c'ome under the fierceness of God's wrath, for they had turned from the Lord ; they hnd "'tresr'i d tganinst thlet Lord God of their fathers." Because of that trespass God had "given them up to desolation." Literally he had madle them "an astonishment." This astonishment and desolation was well known, "ias ye see" (v. 7). Anyone with eyes open enn see today the deso lation of individuals, of families, com munities andI nations who trespass against God. For a generation we have had the deity of Christ and the inspiration of his Word called into question aind that the individual man is the dicetator of his own conscience and life, and It is because men have departed from their faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ and fail to obey his command, that we Bee the strife and desolation of today. The first departure caused people to be "stiff-necked" nnd Jehovah is call ing them to repentance, but they would not hear (see- Ch. 86:13; Er. 32:9; Rtom. 10:21). Ia place of this "stiff neckness" of their hearts Hiezeklnh entreats them to turn again to the Lord andI not to he stiff'-necked1 as were their fathers (v. 8), that if they will trn again unto the Lord (v. 9) they will find comptission so that they shaull again enlter his gracioius and merciful deal inrg.
