Terms for Exemption

Terms for Exemption
Mr. Asquith said exemptions from ser
vice could be claimed under the terms OF
the bill on the same grounds as IN the
case of men attested under the Derby
plan The grounds of exemption include
conscientious objection TO performing
military service.
Other grounds for exemption from SER
vice the premier said, included i'll health.
physical infrmity, the necessity to sup
port dependent persons and the fact OF
being engaged on work of national i'm
portance.
The bill. Mr. Asquith continued. was
limited specifically TO redemption OF the
promise he had made publicly to married
men. This pledge had been given at a
time when overwhelming evidence had
been submitted TO him that married men
who were willing ard anxious to serve
were holding back in large numbers.
Without Exemption
The premier expla iaGt the bill provided
that unmarried men or widowers without
dependent children who We're between the
ages Of IS and Il and had no ground for
exemption, should he deemed to have
done their duty 10 the state lust as
though they mad attested under the Der
by plan They will be deemed as having
enlisted for the period of The war. Tie
act would come into force IA days after
receiving royal assent. and y days after
that time would he allowed for the new
enlistments.
Terri torials enHSting foi home ser
vice come under the bill.
Conscientious Objections
Speaking Of the exemption of men
who have conscientious objections TO
military service, Mr.. .Asuith pointed
out that similar exemption has been
MADE by Pitt in favor Of the Quakers.
and he said this proposal was modelled
from the laws of South Africa and
New Zealand. The exemption, hoNeV
er. applied only to actual participation
in military duties and the circCm-
stances under which it might be- claim
I'd had beer shaped carefully so as to
provide tha, no person should come
under this clause unless he had no
other possible reason FOR declinine to
serve.
A Special Tribunal
A special tribunal to hear applica-
tions for exemptions will he set up in
each local area. the premier said, and
an appeal tribunal also would be eS-
ia ablisned
Finally 10 prevent the possibility Of
any miscarriage there would he a last
appeal through the body set up in
London under the Earl of Derby's
plan. The premier explained that the
Derby scheme did not apply to Ireland
and consequently the conscription bill
did not include Ireland.
Redmone's Opposition
Speaking or the compusion meas
ure. John Redmond said: III is with
the greatest regret that | have to an
nounce that my party cannot support
the bill. Ireland regards this as her
war and she will stop at no sacrifice
to bring it to a speedr and successful
issue. Nobody. however. mas shown
that this hill is necessary for this pur-
pose, Premier Asquith having declared
il WAS needed to fulfill d certain
pledge which he had given.
Il believe we have today more SOL
diers than we can train. equip and
provide with officers

SINHET SECURES
DRAW IN MOLINE
Richie EXceIs in FOOtwOrk. But
frankie Forces Fighting With Chi
cage Boy and Punches Hard.

Can Frankie Sinnet, who one time
fought Johnny Coulon for the title, be
again the frankie of old? This is the
question going the rounds of local
fight fans today, following his bout
with Johnny Richie before the Moose
club last evening in Moline. The boys
stepped eight rounds to a draw and
Sinnet showed much of his old time
form. Although Richie excelled in
tootwork and outstepped the local boy,
Sinnet got in more solid blows and
forced the fighting. Richie is touted
as one of the star bantams of Chicago,
but fans who witnessed the go are
confident Sinnet would have beat him
over a long route Ritchie's blows
failed to hurt Sinnet. Emil Thirty,
Packy Netherlands manager, who is
also handling Richie, was surprised
at Sinnet's showing. Thirty had been
tipped off that Sinnet was all in. Emil
promised to take Sinnet east in the
near future.
In the past two months Sinnet has
met such boys as Kid Clipper, Willie
Moody and Bobby Burns
In the prelim bout, Young Dundee
and Bob Moha of Rock Island went six
last rounds to draw. Dundee, who is
a protege of Ed Schieberl, looks like a
conner. Eddie is anxious TO rematch
the boys and have Moha come down to
Dundees weight, ll5 pounds
