Too Many Filing Ej
Must Reduce Nun
Wb
Washington, Au^. 9.?Wholesale i
claims for exemptions from the army c
draft, reported from many sections, n
caused Provost Marshal' General v
" Crowder to telegraph the governors jo
of the States tonight directing that c
gfc., 4 local boards "reduce discharges for ^
K dependency to a far more restriete I si
class and to very necessitous and
><^learly defined circumstances." ?
In some districts as high as >0 per ('
cent, of registrants called for cxemp-f
tion are filing claims for discharge on , .
L. v the ground of dependent relatives, j
Such a condition indicates. General
Crowder said, that unfair advantage rj
is being taken of the regulations do- fj
signed to protect men who properly )
should be exempted and actually CJ
threatens to interfere seriously with j):
the raising of the National Army. I ..
The message to the governors fnl
ows:
"be'*''on 2 of the selective service t|
cxempM u.? p n.-on from >miilni.\
j^t^^^rvice on the ground of dependency. .|
^JI|pUiily author.y.es the president t< f,,
^H^HBbciWc or discharge uraft those L(1
in a f^itus with respect to persons ;);
gjy deperufcnt upon them for support lt
which rendfers their e-xchisiem or dis- >,
charge advisable.' The controlling
L necessity is to raise an army, it is au
advisable to disturb dependents just
B,W as little as the necessity of raising an
army will permit. To this end See p}
Hd'; tion 18 of the regulations was com- te
B piled carefully and after the most !S:
IB? earnest consideration. If experience Q,
B ^ is to prove that the generous condi- .??!
tions prescribed by Section 1?S or any ,p
abuse of them will interfere with the h
Bflfc raising of an army, then it is no <p
HHF longer advisable to discharge so wide u
a class and the conditions stated >f
therein will have to be restricted un- >h
Hv- til an advisable rule is reached.
"Nothing has happened to change 1>
the belief that the persons enumerat- s >
ed in Section 18 could be discharged n
K without interfering with the raising >(
of tin army, but there are indications ii
1)L that abuses of Section 18 may ren- n
der its continuance no longer advis- n
* able. !i
"Reports are to the effect that in fo
some districts as high as Ml per cent,
of persons called before local boards rt
, are filing claims for discharge on the n<
k ground of dependent relatives. Such h
1 a percentage of claims tvlu-n viewed
j. in connection with all available statis- -i<

vantage is being taken of the pro i.

temption Claims
iiber of Discharges
f so hitfh a percentage of registrants
laim exemption, only the uncompromising
action of local boards can preen
t a new regulation on the subject
f dope money which will reduce dish;.i
;Y for dependency to a far more
[ strict-. :i ciars and to very nccessiius
and clearly defined circum
Lances.
"It is thus apparent that the filing
f these improper claims will react
ireclly and injuriously on persons
hom the present regulations were
esigned to protect and that the welrre
of person who have filed hona
tie claims under the present genertis
clauses of the regulations is se- |
ously imperiled by persons who have
led claims without merit, and that
le only protection of persons whose
ises are within the meaning of the
resent rules lies in the power of loll
hoards to refuse exemption in
/cry doubtful case. (
"It is true that cases of discharge (
i tin- ground of dependency are applied
to the district board, but this
j
a use is only inserted to secure uni- |
rmity of action. District boards are
t examine these cases to discover doirtures
from the law, regulations
id rulings; a id -hey will not and can
it open every case on its merits It is '
the local boards, therefore, that the '
n mi -.11 tin* ui.ncuny ann me pro- 1
ction of deserving claimants lies."
Revised regulations to govern
lysical examination of men regis- '
red under the selective draft were 1
sued today l>y Surgeon General 1
or fas of the army and communicat- '
I to the governors of thv States for 1
formation of local boards. The
tangos deal for tin* most part with
icstions of proportionate weight and '
ight, but may result in the recall c
some men rejected heretofore on 1
i.vsieal grounds.
'I he new regulations grant an un- *'
rwcight allowance of from five to
pounds for men between (M and <57 1
dies in height, seven to eight ^
muds between 07 and (50 inches, *
p." to ton pouno.s b' twei n 70 and 71

TO START TRAINING
HALF MILLION SOON
Washington, Aug. 13.?The entire
087,000 men composing the first increment
of the army draft forces will
be under training early in October.
Under orders issued today the first 30
per cent, of the quota of each district
will begin entrainment for cantonments
September 5; the next 30
per cent., September 15, and another
30 per cent., September 30. The remaining
10 per cent, will be mobilized
as soon after that date as possible.
The plan to assemble the new forces
in three increments distributes the
task of furnishing supplies and equipment
through September. It will also
prevent serious shortages in any I
camp and will give the new oflieor^ 1
from the training camps time to <
familiarize themselves with their <lu- <
ties gradually before responsibility ]
for a great body of men falls on them. <
The order issued today means that t
about 12,000 men will reach each ol ;
the 10 cantonments soon after Sen- '
tember 5. They will first be examin- <
cd physically by army doctors and fi- *
nally accepted or rejected. This will <
Lake some time and the men will have (
to be furnished with temporary quart-j 1
rs and rationed while awaiting exam- !
nation. If the full quota were assent- <
bled at one time, great confusion '
ivould result. <!
To Take in Recruit*
Presumably the first increment will C
lave been organized into skeleton (
ompanies, battalions or regiments
icfore the second arrives. The new- s
omers can be quickly absorbed by a c
roing concern in that ease, and the ?
bird lot can be taken into the war C
uachinery with even less distunbance. c
y In farming communities local
>oards will arrange the lists of those ?
o (ill the first increment with local jr
rop conditions in mind. Harvesting.^*

ssary.
Reviewing the question of discharge
or dependent relatives. Provost
larshal General Crowder issued a ; ^
upplemental ruling today holding '
hat persons should not 1 discharged j
ecause of dependens resident abroad.
"The obcet of the law permitting a
icrson to hi' discharge d provided lie j
!tis a person falling within one of the . '
lasses of dependents dependent upon I
dm was to prevent such dependents
leeoming charges upon the American I
?eople," the ruling says. " A depen- |
lent residing abroail could not be- (
ume a charge.'
That conscientious objectors to war
re not to be excused entirely from ;
erving the country was made clear 1
n another ruling by the provost mar- 1
hal, holding that such persons should b
>e sent to the mobilization camps n
long with others drafted, to be as- S
iuit-1 u> noncombatant branch- o
s of the service. h
