men to find what each can do for his
country.
The university has also notified the
war department it stands ready to turn
over its plant to the government when
ever required.
The resolution to appoint a commit
tee to supervise the research work Of
the university professors was made at
the suggestion OF George E. Hale, chair
man Of the national research council
and Of the Mount Wilson solar oh
seryatory, who wrote to Professor Ed
win G.. Conklin, explaining what the
world Of science expected In event OF
war. In his letter he says:
I'm the face of war every loyal man
of science would be willing to drop his
present work and devote his time and
attention to researches In military
problems. No one should hesitate be-
cause he faces new conditions. His
experience as an investigator In any
field will serve him well. 1t should
not be forgotten that many Of the
greatest discoveries have been made by
men Of science who have come with
fresh vision into a new department,
where freedom from the hampering
effect Of habit and tradition has more
than compensated for deficiency In spe-
cial experience"

FUR FROM DOMESTIC RABBITS.

The war has interfered with impor-
tations of rabbit or cony fur from
from Europe and Australia to such an
extent that both hatters' fur and cony
have risen materially in price. Never
theless, furriers seem to have made
little attempt to find or utilize a home
supply. Many, it is said, think that
cony is exclusively foreign product
and the American-grown rabbits have
inferior pelts of little value. AS a mat
ter of fact, American breeders are
raising the same kinds of rabbits that
produce the best cony of the fur shops.
The climate here is as favorable for
the production of good fur as in
Europe, and if American rabbit skins
are of poor quality the true cause is
bad management and not climate or
breed.
1t is certain that as valuable rabbit
fur can be produced in America as
elsewhere. Probably the quality of
the pelts can be greatly improved by
selective breeding. The important
thing is to induce the fur trade to rec
ognize the Importance of the domestic
supply and to establish a market for
the skins with MISUNDERSTOOD stand
ards Of preparing and handling. A CO.
operative plan for exhibiting good
dressed skins to the trade should, it is
said, aid breeders to accomplish their
object.

President Wilson Has Writ
ten Letter To Secretary
of War Baker.
URGES Liberal POLICY
His View In Direct Conflict
With Practice Of Army
Men. :.
lRv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. Aug. 20
President Wilson has written Secretary
Baker expressing a view that the draft
ing of married men who are heads OF
families should be carefully examined
to avoid, il possible, and expressing the
view that single men should be taken
where it is possible.
AS the President is empowered by
the craft law to make the regulations
under which it will be carried out, the
effect of his letter to Secretary Baker
is to throw his influence toward more
liberal policy for the exemption of mar
ried men than has heretofore been pur'
sued by the Provost Marshal Genelals
office.
1t is no secret that the Presidents
view is in open conflict with the inter
probation placed at present on the law
by army officers, who are administer
ing it. They contend that as the his
tory of the law shows that ongress
voted down amendments to exempt
married men, they have no legal au'
thorlty to exempt them except on the
ground OF dependency alone.
President Wilson's view as fore
cast in his recent letter to Senator
Weeks is that the taking OF married
men and heads OF families should be
AVOIDED at least on the first draft.
Tie Presidents letter will probably
be made public later by Secretary
Baker.
