WHEN THE WIFE LIVES
IN AN OUTSIDE AREA.
IF the wife does not live within
the Jurisdiction OF the local board
the afffdavits required by heads oi
families may be made by such per.
sons residing outside OF the area oi
such local board.
And upon presentation, within tho
time aforesaid, 10 such local board oi
supporting affidavit OF such wife
stating the approximate amount Of
her, her child's or children's separate
or Independent income during tht
last preceding year, exclusive OF any
sums received from her husband and
exclusive Of any gifts. the same be-
ing merely income derived from tho
separate or independent, property OF
or property held in trust for her
that she, the said child or children
Is (are) dependent upon the labor
OF such husband for support, as the
term labor is used In these rules
and regulations"
I'm passing on claims for exemp'
ton on the ground of employment In
necessary industrial and agricultural
occupations the district boards must
be convinced that the particular en-
terprise affording such employment
actually is necessary TO the mainten-
ance Of the military establishment
or national interest during the en-
MGsT SHOW EMPLOYMENT
Is VITAL TO DEFENSE.
The evidence must also establish,
the regulations say ,"even II the
particular Industrial enterprise or
particular agricultural enterprise is
found necessary for one of the above
purposes, that the continuance OF
such person therein is necessary 10
the maintenance thereof and that he
cannot be replaced by another person
without direct, substantial, material
loss and detriment TO the adequate
and effective operation of the partie-
ular industrial enterprise or agri-
cultural enterprise lin which he Is
engaged"
Later the president from time 20
time may designate certain industries
or classes of industries that are nee
essaFy, and the district boards will be
so notified. II will be the duty OF each
board, however, 20 ascertain the
available labor supply for such in
dustries outside the men called for
military service and to take the re-
suit into consideration in determin-
ing such things.
'If in the opinion Of district
boards" this section Of the regula-
tial, material loss to any such indus
try or agricultural enterprise out
weigh the loss that would result
from failure to obtain the military
service of any such person. a csrtih-
cate Of discharge may be issued 20
him ."
Certificates Of exemption will not
necessarily be permanent. They may
be revoked with changing conditions,
or may be granted only for prescrib-
ed periods.
While the steps are being carried
out for getting together the men OF
the national army, the war depart
ment is making progress with the
even more difficult task of finding Of
ficers for the force. Part Of these
will come from the IS officers train
ing camps. The first 10000 Of the
10000 men at the camps will be Sc
lected for commissions in the first in
crement of the new army. That Is
less than half the number OF officers
necessary.
The war department approved to-
day recommendation of commanders
of regular regiments which will COM
mission 1000 or more regular non
commissioned officers 10 be captains
or lieutenants in the firSt $4,000 of
the national army. 1t IL understood
that more than so men from each
regiment in addition TO those now at
the oficers' training camps. will re-
ceive commissions for the period of
the war.
