STORY COUNTY ESCAPES CALL.
No Men to Be Drafted Because OF
Volunteer Quota.

Ames Aug. Awhile exemption
boards in Iowa and turnout the Uniteu
States are whipping into shape Amer
ica's national army Story countys
board has been relieved of having to
listen to the pleas for exemptions ana
the many other duties required Of the
various boards during the formation OF
the first great division.
When official announcement came TO
the Story county board that this coun-
ty would not be called upon Tor 9 con-
tribution of men for the first draft oe-
cause Of It's previous enlistments ID
the national guard and regular army
the exemption board members gave
sigh of relief that they would be ex-
empted. temporarily at least from nav
ing to sort from Story county's drafted
men enough to make the quota for the
national army as prescribed by the al
jutant general.
with the orders from the war de-
partner. also came the request that
the great mass OF supplies which nad
been forwarded to Sheriff Gretten.
chairman Of the board, for the conduct
of the exemption in the county,
be bundled up and returned TO the war
department. The list Of supplies In
clude forms, blanks. letters and other
materials for the summoning and ex-
animation OF the men,
The fact that Story county IS nee
for the first draft, however, does not
relieve the local board from q certain
amount Of work. Sheriff Gretten al
most daily receives pathetic letters
from anxious mothers and fathers, who
seek advice as to when their sons wiz
be called upon and what means they
shouid foley to secure their freedom
from taking up arms. Communications
are still being received from men VINO
registered in the county and who now
are in other parts Of the country. who
do not know officially their number,
and the order in which they VIII %

NEW ORDERS REGARDING MEN
WHO CLAIM THEY HAVE DE-
PENDENT RELATIVES.
MUST SHOW THEY HAVE
NO MEANS OF SUPPORT


Washington, Aug. 9.-More than
100000 men of the selective draft
forces will be called to the coiors Sept.
l to go Immediately to their divisional
training cantonments. This will bring
the strength Of the United States army
on that date up to practically 100000
men.
Brigadier General Crowder, provost
marshal general, dispatched teie-
gram to the governors of the states
cautioning them to make certain thas
the first one-third of their quota OF
the first increment of registered men
is ready in time.
Must Act at Once.
New regulations governing mop-
ilization and the certiication OF men
from district boards 10 adjutant gen
erals will be mailed to you on aug. .
the message said. In the meantime
local boards should certify 20 district
boards daily those who have neeh
called and who have not been exempt
ed or discharged either because they
failed to file any claim or because
their claim has been decided adversely.
strict compliance with this rule is
necessary since on Sept. l the war ue-
partment will call for not to eAceeo
third Of the quota from each state
to be entrained for mobilization camps
between Sept. l and Sept. 3. Unless
we wish to be put in a position OF not
furnishing men as fast as the war
department is ready to receive them
each state should have accumulated
nv Sept. l a minimum Of one-thlrd Oh
its quota not exempted or discharged.
This can only be attained if local
boards certify these lists up with great
expedition
Warns Of 1rachoma.
General Crowder sent this additionai
caution to examining physicians OF the
local boards:
Surgeon general advises that in or
der to prevent the terrible ravages
which result from the Introduction into
the army of that dread disease Of the
eyes known as trachoma, the eyehds
of every recruit be examined closely
to insure the absence Of this disease
and that any border line or suspicious
cases be referred to An ophthamic
surgeon especially qualthed in this
line"
New Rule On Dependents.
The messages were followed up by
new ruling regarding exemptions be-
cause Of dependents. which is expected
TO decrease considerably the loss OF
men from the military service for TINS
reason. Boards are authorized here
after to deny exemptions to married
men whose wives are solely dependent
upon them, but where the parents OF
or other relatives Of either wife or hus-
band are willing to assume the burden
Of her support during his absence. The
same course is to be followed where
any drafted mans employers agree 70
continue his salary as a patriotic duty.
A third supplemental ruling PROVIDES
that where a man has supported MS
dependents by his own labor on iand
which he owns. and the boards nno
that the land could be rented to az
vantage 50 as to continue the support
for the wife derived from the rental
exemption for the man may be denied.

affecting large numbers Of

principles affecting large numbers Of
persons.
THE general basis for ruling upon
such questions should be the spirit and
purpose of the act in providing for such
discharge, wherever the terms Of the
act and of the regulations are not in
themselves conclusive. The act author
ICES the president to discharge when
the parties drafted are in status with
respect to persons dependent upon
them for support which renders their
exclusion or discharge advisable.
"Such dependency ordinarily makes
discharge advisable, because since the
drafted person loses his civil income
and thus his means of support, the
wife Is left without support and this
lack of support is the effect which the
act aims to avoid. But wherever such
effect does not in fact follow and the
wife is not left without reasonably ade-
quate support, but will receive support
from other sources. there is no real
dependency, making discharge advisa-
BILE.
The following classes OF cases are
within this ruling:
"A--Wife and children.
'1-Where the parents or other rel
atiyes of the wife or the husband are
able, ready. and willing to provide ade-
quate support for her land children, If
any during the absence of the hus-
band.
"2-Where the wife owns land which
has produced income by the husbands
labor, but which could. with reasonable
certainty. be rented during his absence
to other persons so as to produce an
adequate support
"3-Where there exists some arrange
ment by which the salary or wage OF
the husband is continued, in whole or
in part. by third persons being en-
ployers or insurers or others. and. such
portion of the salary or wage, either
alone or with an allotment of the SOL
dier's pay or with other definite In
'quate support
Other Dependents Rule.
"B.-Other dependents.
:" Where in one OF the foregoing
ways a reasonably adequate support is
provided for a widowed mother infirrn
parents or orphan child under 1S years,
Of son, brother, or father called into
service.
Under presidential regulations pro-
viding that any certificate or discharge
may be withdrawn, modified. or re-
newed by the local board the board is
authorized to reopen any claim of ex-
emption already passed upon and still
awaiting disposition on appeal to the
district boart., for the purpose OF re-
ceiving any affidayits or making other
inquiries relative to dependency as de-
fined in the present rulings. and the
local board shall transmit TO the dis
trict board such affidavits and it's own
minute thereon, for consideration on
appeal.
The foregoing rulings are calculat-
ed to carry out the spirit and terms Of
the act, and TO enable patriotic men TO
femain in the military service OF their
country wherever thu burden of sup
port hitherto carried by them alone
may be distributed COR time among
others who are patrintically ready to
making in this manner their contrbu
ton to military service by setting an
other man f.ce to enter the army
