 Vital National interests.

Washington-The gravity of the task which faces members Of local exemption boards is called to their at tention in solemn language in a com munication sent broadcast by the War Department and made public by Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder.
 "The selected man offers his life, says Gen. Crowder. Tt will strength en you to remember that for every exemption or discharge that is made for individual convenience, or to es- cape personal loss of money or prop erty, or for favor or affection, some other man whose time would not otherwise have come must incur the risk of losing his life

 President Wilson issued an execu- tive order directing government off, cials to exercise the greatest care in issuing exemption affidavits to e1n- ployes in the civil executive depart ments, emphasizing the high nation al importance of carrying out 'the spirit of the selective service act and of securing it's fullest effectiveness by holding in military service all drafted men who are not absolutely indispensable to department work.

The Senate yesterday afternoon adopted
q resolution. offered by Senator Owen, of
Oklahoma, indorsing President Wilson's
appeal to the country for increased agri-

FRATERNAL ORDER
DECLARED SOLVENT
See Satisfactory Adjustment Of Royal
Arcanum Trouble.

Local officials Of the Royal Arcanum
last night expressed implicit confidence
in the solvency OF their fraternaI and
insurance order. despite the action
brought in Boston to declare It insol-
vent
Arthur Hobart. OF Boston. brought the
petition to have the order declared an
solvent on the ground that It had. paid
many claims which could be construed
as preferential payments. and that the
resources Of the society would be dis
] sipated by the continuation Of the pres
ent members OF the supreme council. Fed
eral Judge Aldrich has named former
State Attorney General Dana Malone as
receiver.
The action Is declared by local ON
cials to be due to dissatisfaction on the
part Of older members to the increased
premiums demanded upon their insurance
policies.
The increases in assessments were made
on December to meet certain State de-
mands for assets and liabilities and con-
dition Of solvency that would permit
the order to operate within the certain
Jurisdictions. 1t involved a considerable
increase upon the older members, and
this dissatisfaction Is credited with being
the motive behind the present suit.
The Royal Arcanum has more than
2oo, 900 members in the United States and,
while its membership slumped a few
years ago because OF the greatly m
creased rates assessed upon younger
members Of the order, all local officials
believe that the order Is thoroughly soIv-
ent. and that the receivership proceed
ings will be settled without the formal
ity OF hearings.
