ARMY EXEMPTIONS
TO Be DETERMINED
ONE IN EACH COUNTY, ONE FOR
EVERY STATE AND SEVERAL
I'M CITIES OVER 10000.

Boards OF Georgia citizens will de-
decide what men in Georgia of mill
tary age are exempt from conscrip-
tion.
An exemption board of three men,
bers will be appointed in each coun-
ty, one of whom shall be doctor, and
none of whom shall be connected
with the military organization, state
or national
In cities OF over 10000 population
a separate board or boards shall be
appointed; and the city shall be
marked off into subdivisions, each
subdivision containing 10000 resi-
dents. For each of these sub-divis-
ions an exemption board of three
members shall be appointed.
Georgia has four cities of our 30.-
600 population-Atlanta, Savannah,
Macon and Augusta.
The mayors Of these four cities will
nominate the exemption boards in
their cities and these nominations
will be forwarded through Governor
Harris to President Wilson. Only the
president himself can appoint the
board
In addition 10 the boards III the diff
fefnnt cities and counties, a state ex-
emption board will be appointed, to
which appeals may be made from the

Judge J. P. Highsmith yesterday aft

A statement of these facts has been
made by Adjutant General J. Van

This statement made clear for the
first time how the question of ex-
emption is to be decided. 1t will rest
entirely in the hands of Georgia citi-

the mayors of the four largest cities
and by the governor, and no one CON

on any of the boards.

NICHOLAS OFF TO SIBERIA

Former czar Nicholas and his family have been TAX
en- to Siberia, where they may experience in person some
OF the tragedy that exile has brought to thousands of
other Russians. Under the circumstances this metnod
OF disposing of the former monarch is not surprising.
Whatever form the government of Russia may take in
Its later stages. the revolution appears to be complete
IN its elimination of the Romanofs from the government.
The government derives its power from the great masses
TO whom the menace OF Siberian exile has been a
FAMILIAR thing. Many OF those now influential in the af-
fairs of the nation have experienced that exile, with all
that 1T means in removal from home and friends, with
existence dragged sout miserabIy from day to day, often
with the labor of the slave and the lash of the slave
driver as Accomplishments. It is quite natural that there
should be a demand that the late czar be given personal
experience in the misery which, under his authority,
was inflicted on others.
And yet, one may wish that the matter had been
ordered differently. Nicholas did not create the condt.
ton under which he has lived. Doubtless he wished that
those conditions might be better for his subjects: but
ne lacked the force to make his desires effective. Tech
nieslly ms Punishment may be just. But Russian democ-
racy would have occupied a position Of greater dignity
mad 1t contented itself with holding Nicholas in a rea-.
measure of restraint on one OF his own estates
where, as a private gentleman he could pass his days in
peace. #s

A BRIEF OPEN LETTER

The Herald receives many letters for publication.
Some of them it publishes; some it does not. The letter
that discusses a subject Of general interest, that is de-
cent in form and courteous in tone is published when
space is available. But the writer of the abusive screed
IS entitled to no courtesies from the recipient Of his COM
nnunication. and of such letters The Herald will make
such disposition as it pleases, without apology or explain
alton. a -
One such letter has just been received. bearing q
name which reads as il it might have been made in Ger
many. In this the writer says in his opening para
graph:
You preach patriotism with a vengeance, accusing
US foreign born citizens as traitors irrespective of good,
bad and Indifferent Intentions"
That is all Of the letter that The Herald intends
70 publish, and, that is enough. The statement is an I'M
mitgated falsehood, without shadow of foundation. The
Herald has never, at any time or under any circun,-
stances, accused foreign born citizens as such or being
traitors, or Of that disloyalty which, for lack Of overt
acts' iaiis snort OF treason. Among the foreign born
as among the native there are loyal and disloyalI and
this paper has never undertaken to classify either group
by itself.

DISARMAMENT AND A WO RED COURT

Two of the proposals made in the peace MESA re OF
the Pope, according to the preliminary reports, are for
disarmament and for a world court. Those things IN
are excellent. There is good reason to hope
that after the war they will be reached. But the time has
not arrived when the nations who are fighting the battles
OF democracy can enter into an agreement with Germany
on that basis. Germany is the aggressor, and she has
shown not the slightest disposition to recedo from that
position. She occupies territory which she invaded with
out cause. and SO long as she does occupy, it, belligerently
and dehantiy, there can be no treating with her. She Is
In the position of a man who seises the property OF his
alton after it has been shown pretty clearly that he can
not hold it by force.
The time has not come for Germany to be consulted
as TO the shaping OF the worlds affairs after this war.
The other nations may choose to disarm, and probably
VIII require Germany to do so. They may establish @
world court and Germany may be required to submit her.
SELF to Its Jurisdiction. But all this must follow the ais
position of the affairs Of this war. Germany must be
made to vacate the territory which she wrongfully occu-
pies. She must be compelled in some way to liuuidate
some part Of the damage that she has done to other ma
lions. And she must give some adequate assurance Of
her good behavior In the future. Restitution, rspara-
tor. and guarantees must be evacted from her. and all
this must precede arrangements for the government Of
the world In the future.
The terms which Germany has been seeking to obtain
and they are substantially those which are suggested by
the Pope, are NOT what she desired and expected at the
beginning Of the war. But they are terms based on the
conception that Germany stands on a basis Of at least
equality with the other nations, when the fact is that her
position is that Of 9 convicted criminal and an OUTLAW.

a hearty breakfast camp was struck,
packs adjusted and the trail for
home taken, The farm was reached
without incident and in four hours
and four minutes. The auto was
found all right and home reached in
time for dinner.
Lewis pond is in a dense forest back
from the hum of industry where ma
ture holds full sway. The forest so
closely surrounds the water and is so
dense that it is not seen until almost
upon it's shore. 1t is not a large
body of water, being about mile
long and half mile wide and shall
low, and seems to be inhabited only
by trout. For real sport and forest
enchantment there is nothing more
inviting in this northern section of
New England.
The trail is we'll defined and the
greater portion of the way follows
an old corduroy lumber road. There
is no danger of getting lost if one
carefully follows directions. 1t is a
great deer country and at nearly all
times of the day deer can be seen on
the shores of the pond and the party
counted as many as nine there at one
time. They did not appear to be
afraid and frisked about in the
water as though no one was intrud-
ing upon their domain.
