SiXty-feur young men from
various sections of the State, ex-
elusive of Baltimore City, have
enlisted in the United State
Navy since the beginning of the
secoud recruiting campaign in
Maryland.
These results, the Navy re-
cruiting authorities of the State
maintain, show that Maryland
still holds its preference for the
country's Aquatic Arm of De-
Tense.
Lieutenant M. A. Leahy,
Oficer-in- Charge of the Mary
land district, is anxious at this
time to receive applicants for the
Hospital Corps of the Navy.
There is still an urgent need for
young men in this branch of the
Naval service.
Accepted applicants for this
branch of the service are enlisted
as hospital apprentices, second
class, and their salary starts at
$500 per month; $500 per
month having recently been add
ed to the sal ary as an extra COM
pensation in time of war.
The opportunities for promo
ton in the Hospital Corps of the
Navy are exceptional, and, any
ambitious young man going into
the service at this time can soon
rise to the warrant rank of phar-
macist, ranking with an ensign
in the Navy
The recruiting authorities at
Baltimore are very we'll pleased
with the high standard of appli-
cants for all the branches of the
service and with the large per-
centage of applicants who pass
the physical and mental exami-
nations.
Attention is especially called
to the necessity of minors pre-
senting the written consent of
their parents or legal guardian.
This requirement cannot be
waived,
In order that this consent may
be properly presented to the re-
cruiting officers, forms have been
furnished by the Navy Depart
ment. These can be procured
from the postmasters Of the var
ious cities and towns of the
State, or from the Navy Recruit
ing Station at Baltimore.
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the
nearest postmaster; directly
from the Navy Recruiting Sta
ton, Calvert and Lexington
Streets, Baltimore, or from the
Navy Recruiting Sub-stations at
Cumberland and Hagerstown.

REGULATIONS GOVERNING
EXEMPTIONS.

Preparation for the mObllza-
ton of the first contingent of
625, 900 troops of the new
national army advanced another
step Monday, when President
Wilson promulgated the regula-
lions to govern exemptions from
military service.
Local and appeal exemption
boards already have been ap-
pointed, and the issuance Of the
regulations will permit them to
organize Immediately and pre-
pare for the concluding phases
of the task of getting the men
under training for duty in
France.
In a statement accompanying
the announcement of the regu-
lations for the exemption boards,
the President called upon the
boards to do their work fearless
ly and impartially and to remem-
Der that 'our armies at the front
will be strengthened and sus-
tanned if they be composed of
men free from any sense of in
justice in their mode of selec-
tion." The statement follows:
Persons who must be exempt
ed or discharged by the local
board include:
Officers of the United States,
OF the states, territories and the
District of Columbia; ministers
of religions, students of divinity,
persons in the military Or naval
service of the United States,
subjects of Germany, all other
aliens who have not taken out
first papers, county or municipal
officers, custom house clerks,
Workmen in Federal armories,
arsenals and navy yards, persons
in the Federal service designat-
ed by the President for exemp-
ton, pilots, merchant marine
sailors, those with status with
respect to dependents which rem
ders their exclusion desirable "a
married man with dependents
wife or child, son of a depend
ent widow, son of dependent,
aged or infirm parent, or broth
er of dependent orphan child
under 16 years of age), those
found morally deficient and any
member of any well-reorganized
religious sect existing May Is,
1917, whose creed forbids par
ticipation in war and whose re-
ligious convictions accord with
the creed.
Claims for exemption because
of dependents may be made by
the man himself, his wife or
other dependents, or by a third
party who has personally inves-
tigated the case. A claim made
by the husband must be accom-
panied by supporting affidavits
signed by the wife and by the
head of a family residing in the
same territory. A claim by the
wife or a third party must be
accompanied by two supporting
affidavits signed by heads of
families. Similar rules govern
claims on the grounds of other
dependents, the dependents or
third parties being authorized to
file claims with supporting aft
davits. In each case the board
must be satisfied before it grants
exemption or discharge that the
dependent or dependents actual
ly are supported mainly by the
fruits of the mans mental or
physical labor.
