Another Draft Decision.

The recent announcement of the Pro
vost Marshal General that no exemption
from the draft would be allowed to hun
dred days men, has occasioned consider
able discussion. a new decision on thi.
point has been made by Judge Whiting
in which he assumes that the hundred
days men who may be actually in the ser
vice at the time the draft takes place are
exempt from that draft; but thet those
who may not be in such service at the
time are liable. These were not enlisted
for one hundred days, but for period
not exceeding that time, and should they
be mustered out by the Government be-
fore the day set for the draft, they then
are regarded as liable.
