NO MODIFICATION IN
REGARD TO BENEDICTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-If there
is to be any modification of the pres
ent rigid rulings of the provost mar
shall general regarding exemptions of
married men from draft, it is known
only to President Wilson, who alone
has authority to alter or modify the
regulations. The war department so
far, basing it's ruling on what it ia
terprets as the intention of congress
in passing the draft law, has gone on
the theory that a mans exemption
was based on the condition of mar
riage The department still holds to
that view and will urge 1t upon the
president. Today there was no inti-
nation from any official source to
modify the rulings of the war office.
