HUSBAND SHOULD NOT BE DRAFTED FOR THE ARMY
 IF THE WIFE IS REQUIRED
 TO WORK FOR SUBSISTENANCE

The following statement has been issued by the Fro vost Marshal General, Brig Gen. Enoch H. CroWder, after 9 conference with the Secretary of War:
 1. A feeling has been expressed that in passing on claims for discharge on the ground of dependents local boards ought in no case to refuse discharge to mar ied man or to the head of family. The law under which local boards act requires that before such discharge can be granted dependency we'll as relationship must be established The matter having been presented to the President the following are his orders thereon:
 We ought, as far as practicable, to raise this new National Army without creating the hardships necessarily entaed when the head of family is taken and hope that for the most part those accepted in the first call would be found to be who had not yet assumed such relations
 "The selectve service law makes the fact of depend ens rather than the fact of marriage the basis for eX emption and there are undoubtedly many cases within the age limits fixed by law of men who are married and vet whose accumuatons or other economic surroundings are such that no dependency of the wife exists in fact Plainly the law does not contemplate exemption for thS class of men,"
 The regulations promulgated on June 9O 1917, should be regarded as controlling in these cases and the orders issued under that regulation directing exemption boards to establish the fact of dependents in addition to the fact of marriage ought not to be abrOgated.
