Fresh Gangs of Workmen
Rush Construction Of Big
Camp For Draft Army

Admiral Md, Aug. 1. Gangs of
new workmen reinforced by eighty
three carloads of material descended
upon Camp Meade yesterday and
smoothed out many wrinkles in Major
Proctor's brow, with the arrival of
additional manpower and fresh sup
plies considerable impetus was inject
ed into the task of constructing one
OF the largest cantonments in the
country by September l.
Castiron pipes formed part of the
new material. These pipes are to be
used for the water and sewage sys-
tenn. At first it was thought this
commodity was about extinct. Gov
ernment officials had begun thinking
seriously of constructing an old
wooden pipe line.
Despite the heat, skilled and un-
skilled labor toiled rapidly to unfold
a modern encampment on schedule
time. Already the post office build
ing is completed and was open for
business to- day.
1t is estimated that within a week
ed barracks for enlisted men in Ave
working days. More mechanics and
unskilled workers are needed before
the full working force of 1000 is up
to its strength. Each day a new batch
of workmen goes into camp.
One of the largest laundries of it's
kind ever built in this country will be
erected at Camp Meade. Two Balti-
more men have just been awarded a
contract by the Government to build
a plant to take care of the laundry
of the 40, 900 persons expected to be in
training at Camp Meade.

who have thronged to marriage
llcens bureaus since July 20. in the
fond hope that the government would
look upon them as exempt, probably
have taken the trouble for nothing.
They may even have committed a
misdemeanor and be liable to prose-
cution. If this is so, their war brides,
as aiding them in the misdemeanor,
also will be liable to prosecution.
Provost Marshal General e. H.
CroWder, aroused to-day by the re-
ports of throngs of men of draft age
invading the marriage license bureaus
IN the larger cities, made this per-
fectly plain. He announced:
BY section of the act of May is
(the conscription act), any person
who evades or aids another to evade
the requirements of this act is guilty
OF misdemeanor; and local boards
are authorized to warn persons who
claim discharge on the ground of

US. PLEASED AT
ALLIED ATTACK
American Army Officers I'm
pressed at Plan of Brit
ish-French Armies


Washington, Aug. l. - The British
French assault on the German right
flank has made a profound impress
sion here, because in the judgment of
many American army officers, it is di-
rected at the most vulnerable point
ON the entire German front.
complete success for the allies,
sweeping the German line back from
the sea along the entire Belgian
coast, would be an Immediate answer

North sea bases for U-boat opera
tions would be stamped out. Behind
that achievement then would stand
the possibility that the entire German
lne IN France could be endangered by
flank attack.

Right Flank the Weak spot
Inc discussion here brought out
strongly the fact that many American
oIncers who have studied the situa-
ton believe the German right flank
oners the only real opportunity TO

snort OF that, they can foresee only
a continuing repetition of the deadly
business OF frontal attack, which in
time would wear down the German
resistance, since the allied Powers

further legislation on this subject"
The provost marshal generals
of1ce to-day showed 1t was alive to
the large numbers of exemptions
claimed. 1t instructed each local
Doard TO- continue calling up men
uiitII IL mad 10 per cent. more to
examine than originally allotted.
Inc provost marshal still believes
that one out of every four men ex-
amlned will be found liable and fit
Ior service. but he is taking no
ei1hSes OF having the supply of men
eaIed run short at the last minute.
Inc statement of the provost mar
shall general concerning draft mar
rlages was made in response to the
query or New Jersey local board
on case in point.
Marriage is not of ITSELF" General
Crowder replied, "a valid ground for
making claim of discharge"
A man, whose wife is mainly de-
pendent on his daily labor for sup
port, may claim exemption on that
ground. But dependency is a mat
ter of fact. The rule does not ask:
rs the husband, as a matter of law,
liable to support the wife?' 1t asks:
is the wife as a matter of fact
mainly dependent on the daily labor
of her husband for support"
Promise Careful Query
only the exemption boards can
determine this fact. Where depend
ency is claimed and the circum-
stances show a marriage hastily con-
summated since July 20 by a man
whose number is high on the avail
able list, the actual fact of depend
ency must be closely scrutinized"
1t is further pointed out that the
exemption boards have the widest
powers of determining this actual
dependency. They are not bound by
legal rules of evidence. They are to
and decide in their own
way.
The law was supposed" said Sec
retary Baker to-day. Immediately
upon its passage, to lay its hand on
the shoulder of every American of
the ages specified and warn him of
his liability to serve. The men who
have endeavored to incur disabili-
ties since that time will be most
closely scrutinized."
