Function Is Quasi-Judicial.

While district boards are not courts
their function in passing on claims and
the function of the President in exam
ining their decisions is quasi judicial l.
Since the general rule must be that
nothing which was not presented to the
district board can be considered on ap-
peal to the President. it would be sub
versive of the spirit Of the law and vio-
lative of the judicial function that is
being executed to make exceptions in
individual cases and receive sugges-
tions. urgings or statements from indi-
viduals concerning particular cases
pending here on appeal
The President. therefore, has direct
ed the War Department to decline to
discuss cases pending on appeal or to
entertain any communications. sugges-
tions or additional evidence or state
ments concerning them.
Exemptions and discharges from
draft on all grounds except engagement
in industry. and agriculture are placed
within the jurisdiction of local boards.
From the decision of local boards in
these cases there is a right of appeal
to the district board. whose decision on
the appeal is final. There is no appeal
from the decision of a local board to the
President. nor is there any appeal to
the President from the decision of the
district board on a case appealed to a
district board from a local board.
The only cases in which there is a
right of appeal to the President are
cases of claims for exemption or dis
charge based upon engagement in in
dustry or agriculture.

EXPORT FIGURES SURPRISE.
U. S. Sent 800 Per Cent of Fats Used
in Denmark.

Surprising figures regarding the
amount of exports from this country to
Denmark and the large quantities of
exports from Holland and Denmark in
1916 today We're disclosed in a state
ment of the food administration.

margarine. 90.9 per cent were imported
from the United States. The total Dan
ish production of margarine in 1916
was 1z4.7S1.620 pounds. Substitution of
this margarine for butter allowed the
expectation of all the butter produced
except about SO per cent. Much of this
expectation was to Germany.

produced 396.S2s,00O pounds of mar
garine, of which 330.69O.00O were ex-
ported OF the 1874 4,322.0OO pounds of

ures are available to show how much
of these exports reached Germany.

MISSING GUNNER LOCATED.
William A. Miller of Campana's
Crew Reported in German Prison.

William \. Miller, the unaccounted
for member of the naval gun crew of
the American tankship C:,mpana. is in
the German prison camp at Branden-
burg with the four other sunners pre-
viously reported there
While the story of the submarine de-
struction of the Campana told how
Capt. Oliver. the master, and five Ameri-
cans of the gun crew had been taken
prisoners on the German submarine,
later dispatch accounted for only
four of the naval guard at the prison
camp. Todays report on Miller's where
abouts accounts for all five.
The CaInpana was sunk August 8. aft
gallant fight in which she entirely
exhausted her Ammunition and had to

more shells. AS a result of that eX-
perience the supply of ammunition on
all armed ships was doubled.

Favors Thorough Work.

Health Officer Woodward. chairman
of the board of appeals. stated that the
board favored continuing the eNamina-
tions, not with the idea of concluding
them as soon possible. but rather
of conducting them as thoroughly as
possible. He expressed the belief that
the work could not be finished until
well after Christmas
Members of the board view the mat
ter in much the same light that it is
viewed by Provost Marshal General
CroWder. who. in notice to the Com
missioners. states that the "precarious
equilibrium Of the men who were not
examined for the first quota is bad
for them and bad for the repose of
the public mind.
These men should be examined as
soon as possible" he states. I'VE

BY the time the second call is made
we should have a list of availables
ready to fill at once. If the whole list
is examined it may be possible to ar
range the order of liability in accord
ance with the degree of availability,
and thus make the draft more truly
selective. This cannot be done unless
the whole list is examined

stroy it. We must avoid this. For this
reason it is proposed to proceed in an
unhurried manner that will permit
board members to attend to their pri-
vate business and still examine the
whole list of registrants."

Millions of Cases Considered.

1T would be practical impoSSibility
for any central Administrative authority
to attempt to scan the decision of local
boards in the millions of cases that are
before them. Furthermore, 1.-The law and
regulations place the matter of dis
charge and exemption in all cases eX-
cept those based on engagement in in
dustry and agriculture in the jurisdic-
ton of local and district boards There
is no power in administrative authority
to interfere with these decisions in par
ticular cases. To so interfere would
the selective service law and the regu-
lations of the President prescribed
hereunder. If local boards have made
mistakes in individual cases resulting
in hardshipS there is an appeal to the
district board. Also both local and dis
trict boards may reopen cases in which
they are in error up to the time the
claimant is actually ordered into mill
tary service. If the local or district
board is in doubt as to particular case
it may apply to the governor of the
state for information concerning the
cannot answer the question from infor-
nation at hand he will request instruc-
tions from Washington.
An individual who believes that a
local or district board has erroneous
ly interpreted the law may call the at
the case. Where 1t is clear that the de-
cision of the board is in error the gov
ernor may inform the board of the law
and request it to reopen the case. By
these means it is thought that a sub
uniform execution of the law
can be had throughout the United
States. and that the few cases of in
dividual hardship resulting from un-
uniform or unlawful decisions of the
various boards may be corrected.

STOCKS BREAK EARLY,
BUT RALLY STRONGLY

NEW YORK. September 1S-The mar
ket was more two-sided, at times. than
for some days past Bear pressure met
with more or less resistance, and the
very fact was enough to make the bears
a little more particular as to their at

Industrial money on time at per
cent was another factor. Private wire
houses sent out many messages assum-
ing a tone of confidence and predicting
good rally in the best stocks, as a
probability of the near future, or as
the reward of patience.
Soon after the opening the bears
started their usual tactics feeling for
