emption and there are undoubtedly
many cases within the age limits fixed
by law, of men who are married and
yet whose accumulations or other
economic surroundings are such that
no dependency Of the wife exists in
fact. Plainly the law does not con-
template exemption for this class Of
men,"
The president, after thus pointing
out that the mere fact of marriage IL
not sufficient to warrant exemption,
says that the regulation directing
local boards Ito establish the fact Of
dependents in addition to the fact Of
marriage ought not to be abrogated."
This leaves the regulations as they

NEW FIELDS FOR
AMERICAN LUMBER

Der market Of the Mediterranean dis
trict and the Near East when the
war is over, according to a report
on the subject just published by the
bureau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce, Of the department of COM
merce. 1t is a business that the Ru-
manians and Austrians have handled
successfully and Almost exclusively for
many years.
The annual value of the lumber
imports into these regions before the
war is placed at 132,292, 900. of which
the United States supplied $12,652 900
worth, most of which, however, went
to comparatively well-known markets
in Spain, France and Italy. Ameri-
can lumber is seldom met with in
Trkey, Tunis. Serbia, Greece, Egypt,
Bulgaria, and Algeria.
The bureaus report is devoted
principally to descriptions of each Of
these markets, giving the source of
lumber supplies, the demand, and the
character of lumber desired, and
whore possible the prices obtained
before the war. The report is en-
titled Lumber markets of the Medi-
terranean region and the Near East"

One on the Judue,

A judge, who used to wear very long
waving hair and heavy beard, one
day was on his way to court when he
was accosted by a little street boot
black, with an exceedingly dirty face,
with the customary "Shine, sir?' He
was very importunate and the judge
being impressed with the terrible
state Of the boys face, said: Il don't
want shine, but if you'll go and wash
your face, I'll give you sixpence."
"All right, sir" "Well, let me see you
do it." The boy went to a neighbor-
ing fountain and made his additions.
Returning, he held out his hand for
the sixpence. The judge said: swell,
you earned the money. Here it is"
But the boy said: II don't want your
money, old fellow. You can take 1t
and have your hair cut" and forth
with scampered off.

insult; passed out with an accom-
panying smile, it is merely a COOL
joke. 1t is the intent that makes the
crime.
So, SO per cent of our bad manners
is unintentional. Modern Ameri-
cans are in a hurry to get there. They
are trained in a spirit CT individual
ity, of personal freedom, that en-
courages people to DO what they want
to do, regardless. That hurry has
accomplished lot; that spirit has to
its credit a great deal of good. There
cannot help but be some incidental
harm.
Doubtless a little slowing down c.
the rush, a little thoughtful con-
sideration for other peoples feelings,
would work for better manners. Hur-
ried heedlessness may be some ex-
tenuation, but it does not entirely
Justify rudeness.

THE BITING TRUTH.

an abundance of fuel, this city of o.
100000 inhabitants has been on the
brink of coal famine for weeks The

cial systems"
Yes, our so-called "systems" beat
the world-on paper. The cutting
criticism of the Chicago paper looms
the more significant when it is real
lied that Illinois is far up in the list
for soft coal deposits. There is
enough coal within 200 miles of Chi :
cago to keep the city supplied for so
years. But our alleged Systems"
are in the way.
National preparedness also means .

THREE WEEKS OF S;BMARININGS
AND NO WAR.

Providence seems 10 be guiding
the American nation along the path
OF peace. We have had three weeks
of ruthlessness and the overt act
that it was believed would mean our
participation in the great struggle
overseas has failed to materialize
For which we are all thankful
In that time an American ship-the
Lyman NJ. Law-has been sunk, but
no American lives have been sacri.
feed. The sinking of an American
ship in itself is no cause for war,
as the general public ere this has
found out. A vessel carrying con-
traband, or what is interpreted as
contraband by a belligerent, is sus
ceptible to destruction; and SO long
as our contention that the command.
err, passenger and crew be given
time to escape, is followed, it is not
an covert act" Hence we are still
at peace.
And the chances are bright that
conditions will remain as they are
no diplomatic ties with Germany and
yet no overt act. Germany, we are
Informed, has Informed it's submarine
commanders to be eXtl cmely careful
regarding American ships. AS re-
suit, we find that though British
freighters have been sunk without
warning since the submarine decree
went into effect, this has not been
the case with PASSENGER liners or
American ships.
OF course. no one can tell what the
future will bring forth. The nation
should keep its head, however, and
consider the present in the light Of
the past. During the Napoleonic
wars, we had exactly such a situation
with France-diplomatic relations
were broken for practically the
same reason, and American and
French ships fought on the high seas
because of the armed American ned
traitly that followed; yet there was
no war in about year everything
was patched up.
Let's trust that providence is eau
ally kind this time.
