ton OF the selective service law"
The Wisconsin, Plot.
The Wisconsin plot. as disclosed by
Editor Neiman, included the use of pro-
German newspapers in carrying on the
propaganda against the draft. He was
introduced to President Wilson by Sem
ator Husting. of Wisconsin, and pre-
sented for the presidents inspection
a list of charges. with evidence to bear
them out.
The plot. according to Neiman. goes
beyond the mere urging of men not
to register; 1t contemplates the COM
plete overthrow OF the governments
plans to fight Germany. and Is designed
to render the United States powerless
and impotent in the war.
Agents of the department Of Justice
and United States secret service al.
ready are working on the case. 1t was
indicated at the department of justice,
and early arrests are likely.
General Crowder today turned his
attention completely to the question
Of exemptions.
1t was declared decisively that moth
ing like the number of exemptions
claimed would be allowed. Out Of the
total of 100000 or more men who
registered. at least one in four, or
$4,000 are to be drafted for army
duty II necessary. 1t is estimated that
at least half of those registered would
not pass the army physical examina-
tion. That leaves 100000 from which
! to select 100000. after all exemptions
are made.
For purposes of classification, the
war department officials today set
aside on the exempt list all married
men.
1t was explained. however. that this
must not be taken as an indication that
married men as a class will be exempt.
Indeed. General Crowder declared there
would be no class exemptions. Whether
married men will be exempt or will
not be cannot be known until President
Wilson promulgates the exemption reg
ulations.
Returns on registration were avail
able from only few states late to-
night. OF these the general run showed

one Of the most reverent observers Of
the birthday anniversary of the great
emancipation, Abraham Lincoln.
Slavery was a cruel condition, -
said Mr.. Skinner, Nobody, unless a
victim Of the practice can realize the
sufferings Of mothers as they saw
their children snatched from their
arms and sent to distant plantations
with the knowledge they. were new
er to see them again.
II was my mothers fifth child and
well remember the affecting scenes
when my four older brothers, one by
one, were taken away from her. There
were other children in our family, too,
and in all probability they were also
separated from her in a like manner.
IT don't know whether my dear old
mother is living, but presume have
several brothers scattered over the
country. AS slaves were known only
by the names Of their masters, and
were frequently sold from one to an
other, it would be almost impossible
to ever trace them.
