DRAFT REJECTS

IN EVERY -FOUR
Washington Expects Twenty
Five Per Cent Of Men Called
to Fail on Physical Ex-
aminationS. ;. ....
tHy Associated Press,

Washington, July 26.--Reports oI
the first selection boards to fill theil
quotas for the selective draft army
are eagerly awaited by Washington
officials, because they will give the
first definite information as to the
probable percentage of reflections to
be expected among the 100000
registrants for physical reasons or for
dependents.
All available statistics indicate a
probable rejection of one in every
four for physical disability. In partic-
ular localities this will vary greatly,
but the average for the whole country
is expected to be between Is and 80
per cent. There is no available data
as to dependents, however, or as to
how many must be excused under
industrial exemptions.
1t appears probable that peculiar
results will be brought out in some
districts.
Best Among Well-to-Do.
If the reasoning of some officials
is correct, the lowest rejection and
exemption rates will be disclosed in
well-to-do communities, such as the
suburbs of large cities, where men
of comfortable incomes make their
homes Sons of such men, it is sug-
gested, haYe had better food, better
care and better surrundings than the
factory hands of nearby towns, and
they should be in better physical con-
dition. .- ~ ?
In factory towns, on the other hand,
the rejection rate for physical disa-
bility probably will be high. The fact
that the man are confined six days a
week at their machines, undoubtedly
will have affected tehir physical con-
dition.
Virtually every married man of
those registered in these places is the
sole support of his wife and children
and such men cannot be taken. Also,
if the industry in which they are
engaged is vital to the carrying on
of the war, industrial exemptions will
run high.
Only reports from selection and
district boards in typical communities,
however, can show exactly what is to
be expected. Roughly, the War de-
partrnent has estimated that two men
must be called for every soldier ac-
cepted, but they realize that the re-
turns may tell a far different story.

NeV. MT. krauleidiS is pastor OF a
thriving congregation made UP of
well-to-do farmers and others of Ger
man birth or direct descent. Tho
German language is used exclusively
in the church. This fact made II diff
ficult to learn exactly what the min
lister said.
The investigators found that at
recent church service the pastor an
nounced that he was going to pray
for the kaiser. At least one member
of the congregation objected. He
was William Grassmeyer, a PENN
sylvania German and wealthy farm
er. He declared he would not sit
quietly and hear treason uttered
against the United States.
DEBATE ON PRAYER.
The debate grew hot and the ques-
ton whether prayers should be Of
fered in the church for the kaiser was
about to be put to vote. AT this
juncture, II is reported, an old woman
rose, lifted her hands high above her
head and shouted "Hoch der Kaiser"
There were many in the church
who joined in the sentiment, it is
said. Above the uproar sounded at
least one voice and it said: ITO hell
with the kaiser"
This was the signal for a general
uproar and the meeting finally broke
up.
That night, it is reported, Grass
meyer came to the church with sew
eral other citizens and they proceeded
to nail large American flag over
the church door. Then they waited
on the minister and told him he
would remove the flag at his peril.
Minister Carries Gun.
Krauleidis was armed with VIM
chester shotgun when arrested. 1t is
reported that he had declared he
would shoot down the first person
who tried to interfere with his pro-
German utterances or his activities
on behalf of the German government.
The arrest was made under the pro-
visions of section twelve of the presi-
dents proclamation, issued soon after
the United States entered the war.
This prohibits all alien enemies from
having firearms of any kind in their
possession and also defines the limits
within which public utterances must
be kept.
About ten days ago the fact that
Krauleidis had the gun i'll his pos
session was reported to Washington
and United States Attorney Allen
was notified that this fact alone
would hardly warrant arresting the
minister at that time.
Washington Orders Internment.
Wednesday night came the teie-
gram from Attorney General Gregory
ordering that, because of his violent
prof. German public utterances, the
minister be interned. The order was
given to United States Marshal Flynn.
who sent Deputy Marshal Lincoln to
make the arrest. The minister is in
termed in the county jail at Grand
Island.
Arrests under this provision are
made without warrant and the person
interned has. no legal recourse but is
kept where he can do no harm as
long-as he is deemed by the attorney
general to be a menace to the public
peace and safety.
Krauleidis is bachelor and came
to this country from Germany about
three years ago.

Rivers and Harbors Bill, Car

Upper HOUSE.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 26.-Carrying an
appropriation of $27,9540oO the an
nual rivers and harbors bill was
passed by the senate late today, 50
to II. -.
The war situation, particularly with
reference to developments on the
Russian front, was brought into the
senate debate by Senator Borah DUR
ing discussion on the bill. He spoke
on tie need of curtallfng expenditures
because of the uncertainty OF the inn
mediate future.
"Never at time in this struggle
has the outlook been as serious as
at this time Senator Borah de-
clared. Russia, to all appearances.
is out of the conflict because of in
ternal conflicts. What does that
mean to the people of the United
States? Could a more serious mes
sage come over our wires and affect
the lives of millions of our boys than
the fact that Russia is breaking
down? We should pray for the sue
cess of Kerensky as never before.
ut means that millions of Ameri-
can boys will find graves on Euro
pean battlehelds. No more serious
condition could confront us than
confronts the allies. The situation
is here and the hour of sacrifice has
arrived. And will the senate stop
and parley over money going into
the improvement of creeks?
Submarine Menace Growing.
In addition to the Russian situation
Senator Borah declared that the sub
marine question, which some weeks
ago was believed to be favorable to
the allies. has now become distinctly
favorable to the Teutonic powers,
with reports showing the number of
sinkings increasing. Then France,
too, is being gradually worn down,
he asserted.
"Has the time not come when we
realize that we are in this war?"
asked Senator Borah. I'VE should
proceed to legislate upon these meas
ures as if the enemy were at our very
gates. Does any one suppose that
the central powers, with Russia CIV
ing in, submarine war growing more
effective apparently every day, with
France at the height of its fighting
powers, would discuss peace except
