Exemption Pleas. ,


Now that military service has, been
made compulsory in England many ap.
plications for exemption have to be con-
sidered by military service tribunals.
These tribunals. the London Times says.
have been expressly warned that they
must not allow respect for genuine con-
scientious scruples to be abused. and
| consequently members have been obliged
to enter into unedifying arguments with
applicants. not in order to convince
them of error. but to gauge their sim
cerity. A few cases Of the kinds OF
scrupies asserted are given. One of
these was the case Of . colliery lamp
man whose claim to exemption was re-
jected. ra ~.-&
do you object to save life?" was one
Of the questions asked him.
No" he replied. II would endeavor
to save life even at the risk OF my
own"
Would you object to being mine
sweeper" ~. ~
mo. If were allowed to sweep all
mines. our own as we'll Is the enemies"
The man was then asked II he would
object to serving with the medical corps.
proper in accordance with my cenvic-
tions to heal the wounds Of One man inA
order that he may infiict wounds on an.
other"
Among other questions was: You en-.
joy 'scrap?"
Il don't think that point arises" the
miner replied. and does not embrace
the taking of life." n
IF some one struck you on the face," "
he was asked, would you turn the ether
side to him?"
I'VE are talking now of the aaklns Of !
life" was the reply. IF q man de-
serves a good thrashing. that n another
matter but I object to the tkktns Of I
life."
It is apparently not often. the Times
says. that an applicant for EXEMPTION on
conscientious grounds Displays much
controversial acuteness.
Another case Of refusal to undertake
medical service lest 1t should make q
wounded man At again for fighting is
also referred to. One conscientious OBJ.
jector to whom it was proposed that he
join the medical service, declared that
khaki Is anti-Christ" and said that he
would not attend even his mother or
wife in uniform.
One tribunal granted combatant ex-
emption to a man who declared that he
could not kill his fellow.man without
being miserable for the remainder Of his
life.-Indianapolis News.

in a street car in New York. OPP
posite to him sat a woman upon
whose lap was a very ugly baby-an
uncompromisingly homely child.

Englishman; he couldn't keep his
eyes of it; he would look away, drop
his eyeglass, and endeavor 10 liz his
attention on some otner object. But
it was of no use-he had to look
back.
At last the mother-obviously an
