Gov. Stanley is directed to desig-

Names of the drafted men publish
ed yesterday included necessarily a
large number who, for a variety OF
reasons, are not within the Govern
nent's intention as to compulsory
service, and for the exemption OF
whom the Government has made pro-
vision. Interest among these men,
since the publication of their names.
centered in the Government regula-
tions as to what It regards as just
grounds for exemption.
In carrying out these general in
tentions. the Government has formul-
ated particular regulations governing
the great number and variety of cases
which might be expected to arise
under each of the four divisions. The
application of these particular reg
ulations to the case called is left in
the hands of the local Exemption
Boards and the district Exemption
Boards, the two passing on separate
classes of claimed exemptions.

who is dependent upon his labor for
support; or the brother of a child
under 16 years of age who has Meth
er father nor mother and who is de-
pendent upon his labor for support.
1t is explained In the regulations that
a married man whose family is not
mainly" supported by his labor, but
by an estate or other income aside
from his actual labor, is not exempt.
The same Interpretation applies to
the regulations concerning the other
dependents, as applies to wives.
