 To the distgict boards is entrusted the solution of one Of the most vital problems of the war. Two things are to be accomplished-t to raise armies and to maintain industries. As the war proceeds more and more men will be required for the battle lines, and yet there are certain industries that must be maintained to the end. Any considerable .din1inution of man power must interfere to some extent with industry. The diminution must be made, and hence it is self-evident that the problem is not absolutely to prevent interference with industry for that is impossible; 1t is to reduce interference to minimum. A bal ance must be struck and maintained between the military and industrial need of the nation, and the necessary sacrifice must be distributed with scientific accuracy and in such a way as to accomplish both purposes of the ,,a a+toy,

Members of the two Boards met yes

Members of the two Boards met yes- terday at the capitol to confer on the policies to be pursued, so that there may be a unanimity of action. The Boards are constituted as follows:

 Western District-Allen Winham, Texarkana, chairman; Ira D. oglesby, Jr. Fort Smith, secretary; Willard Pendefgrass, Altus; Dr. c. H. Gargile, Bentonyille; Henry Yocum, ElDorado. Gen. Lloyd England, who is to be Brigadier General of the Arkansas troops appeared before the joint meet ing, and urged that every legitimate effort be put forth to secure the army. He called attention to the fact that whenever any mothers son is exempt ed, some other mothers son must be taken in his place. The government is making plans to protect it's interests by requesting the governor to appoint some one in each county to act as it's
 
 representative in opposing the appeals and exemption claims; investigators will also be appointed to investigate the affidayits. Appeals from the local to the District Boards will be by affida- wits only, and no one will appear be- fore the Board, in person or by attor- ney.
 It is announced that penalties are to be strictly enforced. The law pre- seribed that any person who shall make or be a party to making any false statement or certificate as to fit ness or liability Of himself or any other person, or shall fail or neglect to per form any duty required of him, shall, # not subject to military law, be pun ished for imprisonment for not more than one year, or, if subject to military law, shall be subject to trial by court martial
