Under the provisions Of the selectiyo draft
act the only cases OF claims for exemption
which may be carried to President Wilson
are appeals from the district boards, and
these are restricted to claims based on in
dustrial or agricultural reasons. or the
many appeals forwarded from Virginia to
Washington. 1t is stated that only l25 are
nnoer consideration by the President. This
latter statement is splendid testimony to tho
two classes OF registrants affected by this
provision in accepting the action of the
boards which heard their claims without
protest and further effort open to them to
avoid service. Also, 1t emphasizes the care
with which the two boards have investigated
the complaints submitted to them.

was justified by the course Of trade or dine

IN 1916 and 6S6.691.1s6 in 1915. But even
with tho prospective increase over 1916 the
supply will fall short of the demands of con-
sumption. With our factories working
twenty-four hours of the day, and the de-
mandB OF the allies the navy and Canada.
