 EXEMPT CLAIMS
General Cr0wder Again Ex- plains Draft Law in Tele- grams to Chief Execu- tives of States

Washington, October 5.--Misunders tand : ing as to the powers of governors Of the state to review the action of local or district boards caused Provost Mar shal General Crowder to telegraph all governors today a supplementary ex- planation of their duties in that regard. The governors and adjutant general of the states have been swamped with ap- peals for rehearings upon winch they had no authority to act.
 'Only where through error in law or through the nonculpable ignorance of the registrant man has been held for ser- vice who should have been discharged or exempted" the message said, is author ity to request rehearings by the board granted to the governors.
 The message makes it plain that the boards are the only judges of, facts brought out in the hearing of any case, and If their decision Is rendered in a legal way, no power even to request re- hearing has been granted to any one. With that injunction, however, the mes- sage couples warning that requests made by the governor in accordance with She regulations should be given full respect and attention by the boards.
 General Crowder says there is no jus tifcatioh for the attempt made by many registrants "to interject into the estab- lisned system at this time the governor or his adjuant general as new board ot reyieW'

SQUAWkER IS MOST UNPOPULAR THING
 A MON G SOLDIERS
Alabama Boys Continue to Be Showered With Atten- tions by People of @
 Long Island
By NJ. HARVIE

Camp Mills. New I ork September 30 (Special.)-The cold weather that greeted the Rainbow division on it's arrival at
 camp has been replaced by the most de- hghtful sunshine variety. For the past few weeks there has been so little rain that the dust became an actuai nuisance. and the winter clothing which was issued early in the month has become a burden. The southern troops have fairly reveled in the balmy days, which might be easily taken for those of Indian summer down home"
 The 167th infantry, which we still affec- tionately think of as the Fourth Ala tama, has made very little complaint of
 the weather. The regiment has been liv- ing under canvas for year and a half. and as consequence is well inured to | such minor troubles as changes of tenn perature. It has learned to bear such trials with composure, as being natural ] incidents to a soldiers life, and looks | with scorn upon anyone so effeminate as 1 to "squawk''

Comparative quiet prevails on all lery duels between the French md the Germans on the verdun sector and in Champagne continue and at several points in the latter sector General Petain's forces again have repulsed surprise att tacfxs.
 Apparently the Teutonic allies in Rumania, after several weeks of virtual inactivity, again arc pre- pairing to attempt to drive back the Russo-Rumanian line. The Russians have been forced to sus- tain an offensive near Radutx, while near the Buzeu river region attacks by Bulgarian troops have been defeated.
 Admission is made in the latest Vienna official communication that the Italians were successful In winning trenches from the Aus- trlans on the western slope of Monte San Gabrielle in the Gorizia sector, but it Is asserted that they sustained heavy losses.
 In Russia a coalition cabinet has I,een formed with M. Ker1nsky asi premier. notwithstanding the de- mand of the democratic congress that no government should be com stituted without the sanction of the congress.
 Meanwhile trouble has again broken out in TurISestan. where . revolutionary movement was start ed in the early wee kbut later wns suppressed. The Russian govern ment hns now declared that state of war exists in this region.

Senate Votes to Inquire Into the Loyalty of Wis consin Member Who
 is Against War
ST. PAUL SPEECH IS
 TO BE EXAMINED BY COMMITTEE AT ONCE
Accused Legislator Will De- fend Himself in Three Hour Talk Before Final
 Adjournment .

Washington, October ) Five hours discussion in the Senate tomorrow of dis loyalty charges against Sen Iator LaFollette will furnish la dramatic finale for the war session of Congress. The arrangements were made today after a Senate Icommittee had been directed ito investigate the Wisconsin members rx xsht speech be- fore the Nc partisan league 1 at St. Paul.
 With adjournment sine die set for 3 p. m. the last day of the. session promises to be devoted al.a5st ex- clusively to this finale, the last of the important pieces of legislation having been sent to the White House today.

 1 INQUIRY AUTHORIZED
 Tn executive session late today the Sen.
 ate adopted without debate formal res- olution empowering privileges and elec- tion subcommittee to proceed with in- vestigation of the LaFollette speech at St
 Paul. The inquiry is limited solely to the accuracy of the reported speech and to substantiation of Senator LaFollette'a . statements of fact therein. The report will be made when Congress reconvencs in December
 A report from the committee against investigation of like disloyalty reflections
 upon Senator Stone of Missouri. chairman of the Senate foreign relations commit tee, also was similarly adopted. The re- bort declared that communications filed Eimputing disloyalty to the Missouri sen- ator were not sufficient basis for an inquiry.
 4 TO WORK NEXT WEEK
 Upon receipt of an accurate copy proni- lised today by Senator LaFouette of lis St. Paul speech, the investigation com mittee of five members, headed by Sena- tor Pomerene, plans to begin its work next week. The privileges and elections !committee, considering various petitions recently filed with the Senate decided to order investigation. and submitted it's de- Icision to the Senate. The committed s action is said to have been unanimo. IS, although Senator King opposed an in-
 quiry as superfluous on the ground that
 there was nothing in the speech, which
 he deplored, seditious or warranting cx-
 pulsion. The inquiry into the speech promises to be brief and probably without necessity for the subcommittees going to St Paul. Arrangements were made
