card indexes of every man regis
tered I'm western Washington.
"Our only difficulty thus far is
with men claiming exemption be-
cause OF occupations" said Lieut..
Gov. Hart. chairman of the board.
"These men do not seem to un-
derstand that they must file affi-
davits substantiating their
claims"
Two Given Passports.
Claims for exemption on occupa-

MEMS WIVES

the office of county draft board
No. | at the courthouse.
Wives of men who claim exemp-
ton on the grounds of dependent
families. but who have no chill
dren, are being notified to appear
before the board on that day, so
that the need for exemption may
be ascertained.
The board Is dreading the or
deal.
An opinion by Prosecuting At
torney Remain Tuesday morning
will send every exemption made
by the board, to the district board
now sitting in the federal build
ing. for review before 1t is made
final.

before the district board.
Four men were exempted by the
board Tuesday morning, Louis +.
Michaud, Dupont; Frank Novak
Gig Harbor; Nick Skansi. Gig Har-
Dor, and Mark Storrs, Lakeview
Storrs, who sells papers at the
army post, had been certified into
the army on the understanding
that he had a son 16 years old
who might II necessary take his
place in supporting the family.
Storrs appeared and explained
that his son was only II and not
strong, and that while he is en-
tirely willing to serve his country,
his doing so would undoubtedly
leave his wife and two children
destitute. The board reversed its
decision.
Il think this is clearly one OF
the cases for which the exemption
provision IL intended" said Chair
man Thompson.

Terrific AS Verdun

"Our officers go forward to re-

mite falls. A lieutenant is killed
and another wounded. A little
farther along, a rifle grenade NOR
tally wounds another officer.
Eve take possession of our sec

impregnable to a surprise attack.
The Boches are only so yards
away. At $3.50 in the morning they
attack.
From our front line we can see
their infantry. They are so close
to their own barrage that at one
moment they are obliged to fall
back to keep from being massacred
by their own shells. 1--WE have
orders to die on the spot before
abandoning our line. A hand-to-
hand combat is quickly engaged.
THE Germans succeeded in get

have enough grenades to beat off
their attacks.
Thrown Back.
But the waves which we drive
back are quickly replaced with
fresh troops and the hand-to-hand
fighting continues. A lieutenant
in charge of a section after driv-
ing one German assault Is sur
rounded by a second. The lieu-
tenant shoots three German flame
shooters. He finds that the de-
fensive grenades they are using do
not have range sufficiently long
and orders his men to seize often
sive grenades.
1.-THE latter are still In their
heavy packing cases. To open
them his men use pickaxes at the
risk of exploding the whole case.
But they get them out and drive
the German flame throwers back.
At this point the enemy has now
been thrown back across the Che

on trench with pipe in his
mouth calmly shooting down Ger

Another soldier after valiantly

that still others are threatening

back and Indignantly asks his lieu
tenant at what range he must fix
his rifle in order to get those pigs

AT 10 in the morning, we must
have the Boches back on the other
