Are YOU EXEMPT?
Your Decision. However, Not
Final in the Matter.
Government Warns Against
Hiding Behind PetticOats.

Washington, May 22.--Men seeking
exemption from service in Americas
new selective service army because
they support one or more dependents
must be sure that the person they have
in mind is solely dependent on them.
otherwise they must not hide behind
petticoats or children"
This warning was given today by
Provost Marshal Crowder in explain
ing questions arising out of the June
registration regulations. The mere
fact that one claims exemption will not
necessarily exempt him.
The question upon which exemption
of those with dependents will be de-
termined reads:
Have you father, mother. wife,
child under u, or a sister or brother
under II, solely dependent upon you
for support? (Specify which,
Consider your answer thoughtful

that there is another mouth than your
own which you alone have a duty to
feed, do not let your military ardor

Some Reasons

Oklahoma residents claim that the
place has few superiors for agriculture
and mineral development. The state
affords more opportunity for diversi-
fled farming than any other in the
union with the exception of Texas.
oklahoma has 1000 square miles of
land underlaid with coal and few of
It's mines more than opened. More
rivers with natural drainage capacity
than any other state save Colorado.
It is eighth in railroad mileage. fiji
teenth in population and not yet ten
years old. capitalization considered.
Oklahoma leads all other states in the
amount of money deposited in its
banks. Oklahoma surpasses any other
state in growth Has more miles of
good roads and less improvements on
same than any state west of the Mis-
sissippi river. Oklahoma is first in the
production of peanuts, third in water
melons. first in tonnage in alfalfa,
fifth in vegetables. with less than one
tenth of the state trying to cultivate
garden products. Has the most envi-
able climate of all states save Cali

ON the other hdnd, unless the per-
son you have in mind is solely de-
pendent on you do not hide behlnd
petticoats or children"
Crowder's official guide says on the
general subject of exemption: Be
cause you claim exemption from
draft. it by no means follows that
you are exempt. For the information
of the war department you should
make a claim now if you intend to
prosecute it.
Some persons will be exempted on
account of their occupations or Of
fees, some on account CT the fact that
they have relatives dependent upon
them for support. In stating
grounds you claim as exempting you,
use one of the following terms:
If you claim to be an executive,
legislative or judicial officer of the
state or nation, name your Office and
say whether it is an office of the state
or nation.
QuaI<ers Are Exempt.
IF you claim to be a member. of a
religious sect, whose creed forbids it's
m emu ers to participate in war in any
form, simply name the sect.
IF you are employed in the trans
mission of the United States mails or
as an artificer or workman in an ar
mory, arsenal, or navy yard of the
United States or if you are mariner,
employed in the sea service of any
citizen or merchant within the United
States, SO state.
IF you are a felon or otherwise
morally deficient and desire to claim
exemption on that ground, state your
ground briefly.
If you claim physical disability.
state that briefly.
If you claim exemption on any
other ground, state your ground
briefly"
The registrar will pass only upon
obvious physical defects, such as lost
arms or legs. Others claiming exemp-
ton for physical disability are liable
TO draft in order that their physical
condition may be passed upon by army
surgeons"
Local boards will pass on claims of
exemption other than physical ones.
\ citizen may note if he has a de-
pendent relative other than those
above specified, such,- for instance,
as a dependent grandfather, grand
mother or aunt.
Aliens Must Register Too.
All persons within the age limits
must register, whether they are alien
enemies, naturalized citizens or de-
clarants, tho alien enemies "undoubt-
eddy will not be drafted"
In answer to questions whether you
be with respect as to whether you are
married or single NOW. The question
as to race must be answered with
Caucasian, Monaghan, Negro, Ma
layan or Indian"
The full name must be given, the
present age in years only, the home
addreSs-meaning the permanent
home address-date and place of birth,
present cupation-meaning what
your job is right now'-by whom and
where employed, whether the appli-
cant has had any military service.
Absentees Must Register.
Crowder's statement says concern
ing absentees:
Citizens who are absent from home
on registration day must register by
mail on blanks procured from the
county clerk, or in a city above 80, 900
in population, from the city clerk. Cit
liens living in foreign countries may
register thru the nearest consular Of

The President of the United States. by
virtue of the authority of the Congress i'm

the the selectiye Draft Law, approved May 1s'
JUNE 5, 1917
as a day for the registration of all citizens

the Presidents proclamation, 1 Arthur
Capper, Governor of the state of Kansas,
do hereby proclaim the above designated
day public holiday within this state and
do urge the people to observe it With the
the momentous Importance of the occasion
We are called upon to offer our posses
sacrifice to the cause of liberty, freedom
and democracy throughout the world. The
american people have been loat s to take up
and long sufferings; we have entered into
the great war only under the dtrest provo
cation, and not until the fate of the world
fore the imperative duty and the high
privilege of every loyal citizen to respond
arms of the Allies. This duty falls none
the less upon those who by age limitations
or by sex are denied the opportunity of
bearing arms. 1t is time for all citizens
to consecrate themselves anew to the service
unfolding the principles of democracy
throughout the world; to the end that all
peoples of the earth shall be freed from
autocratic rule.
The great war will be won. not by men
alone: Money, munitions and provender
are also prime requisites. The people of
Kansas will contribute their full share of
all these things and 1 urge that registration
day be made also day Of popular sub
scription to the Liberty Loan Fund and
that we show the nation that the people of
Kansas are willing and glad to contribute
from their bounty to the sustenance of our
armies and the support Of our Allies across
the sea.
Firm in the conviction that our cause is
just and that victory will come, 1 ask that
on this patriotic day our people assemble
in public meetings and ask a divine bless
ing on the enterprise upon which we are
embarked.
May the God of Hosts be with us.
