The criticisms by British newspa- pcrs, both Liberal and Unonist, and the apparent stagnation on the west eln front, expresses real public teeling.

But even if the German casualties are twice as many as those Of the British. we know from the week. lN figures of the latter that they can not be large enough to reduce the Ger man military power in the fierd so very much. Gen. Maurice recently stated that the British army in France and Flanders numbered between two and three million. and the French ar mics at the front are still at least two million against German forces reported by the French headquarters to number about 2,2OO,000.

JOE PLANT REPORTED TO BE ENTERING RANKS OF
 MARRIED MEN TONIGHT

It is reported on very good author ity that Joseph Plant, jeweler of Ju neau and formerly of Valdez, will be married tonight to Miss Elsie Hen nings, sister of Mrs. Julius Weinstein, and formerly of Portland. The prn oipals of the reported affair deny the charge that they are to be married, but from the fact that certain ar engagements have been made, it is self evident that something is in the wind
 MT. Plant located in Juneau, com ing from Valdez, shortly after the first fire in that town, and in which ie lost several thousand dollars worth of stock. The bride-to-be ar. rived recently from the north to visit with her sister and for several weeks past has been employed as saleslady in the store of MT Plant The cerc- n,ony will be performed by U. s.

Everyone Is Eligible to the Army Draft until President Gives
 Out Rules.
TO BE DRAWN BY LOT
Special Board Named by President Will Have Full Charge of
 Exemptions.

WASHINGTON, May 26. (By mail 1.-The War Department today issued that no exemptions from war service would be made at the time of registration. The exemptions will come at the time of the draft. stat ed by Secretary Baker to be about Sept. 1. Here is the statement:
 Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder finds that many persons confuse registration with draft. Each is distinct process. Exemptions will be granted after draft and not be- fore. Even convicts and alien enc mics are obliged to register
 There is little difficulty in answer ing the questions which are asked in regard to registration, for there are no exceptions to the rule that all made persons in the United States between the ages of 21 to 30 inclusive must register. except those already in the military, or naval ser vice of the United States. It Is i'm possible at present, however, to an swer most questions in regard to ex- emptions. as the rules for exemptions are only outlined in the selective draft bill and must in many cases be drawn by the President.
 Drawings By Lot
 The selective service bill and the Presidents proclamation, in pursu- ance thereof. provide for the regis tration on June 5, 1917. of all male persons who on that date have at tained their twenty-first birthday and shall not have attained their thirty first birthday. except persons in the military or naval service of the Unit ed States, which includes all off cers and enlisted men of the regular army. the marine corps and the Ma tional Guard and naval militia, while in the service of the United States. and officers of the Officers Aeserye Corps and enlisted men in enlisted reserve corps while in active ser vice.
 From the lists of persons so reg fstered names will subsequently, be drawn by lot. by the fairest system tlcy can be deyised. Persons whose names are drawn and other persons inferesfed will be given an opportan- Ify to present claims for exemption.

or exclusion or discharge from the draft and to support such claims by evidence.
 Rules to Come Later
 "The determination of whether a particular claim for exemption, ex- clusion or discharge will be granted will be made by boards to be ap- pointed by the President. These boards will function under the law and under regulations prescribed by the President.
 The only regulations that have as yet been prescribed are those gov erning the registration alone. The determination of exemptions. exclus- ions and discharges is second step, quite separate from the registration.
 Regulations governing the deter imitation of exemptions, exclusions and discharges will, when promulgat- ed. be made available to all concern ed at the office of the local boards. Until such regulations have been promulgated further, information cannot be given, as it might later prove misleading; and even after the regulations have been made public decisions concerning exemptions, cx. clusions or discharges in individual cases cannot be made by this office, since the law provides that all such cases shall be heard and determined by the boards to be established for that purpose"

MAINS BEING LAID BY GAS
 COMP ANY NOW
Manufacturers Delaying Work Owing Failure To Make Promises
 of Delivery.

The recently organized Citizens Gas Company has started the work of laying distributing mains from the chosen location of the plant on the tide flats in front of the Casey Shattuck Addition. The work of lay ing mains is being done along Ninth Street between D and F streets out through the CaseyShattuck Addition, and was started pursuant to the ap- proval of the bond by the gas com pany which was accepted last night by the city council.
 George Irving stated today that on account of the inability of the com pany to secure delivery of material the work being done is merely pre- liminary under the terms of the franchise held by the company from the city.
 This morning I received @ letter from the National Engineering and Equipment Company stating that it is absolutely impossible to get de- livery of pipe for the mains at this time,' said MT Irving. They also stated that the dealers will not guarantee any delivery of plates for the big receiving and distributing tank and will not guarantee any set price. The war has made such a de- mand on the steel companies for plates for shipbuilding and other pur- poses that we are unable to get any definite arrangements with the manu- lecturers"
