RENEW DISCUSSION OF
MARRIED MEMS STATUS
Many Believe President Approves
Exemption OF Those Who Did
Not Marry To Escape Draft.

Washington. Aug. 20.-Renewed
discussion of the status of married
men under the selective service law
has been aroused by publication Of
President Wilson's letter to Senator
Weeks, dealing with this and other
subjects. In many quarters the
Presidents statement that he had no
doubt Senator Weeks point as to
the exemption of married men was
we'll taken was interpreted as an in
dication that he approved exemption
of any man Of family who had not
married merely to escape military
duty.
The President has full power to
direct that the regulations govern
ing selection be amended TO this eff
feet. A proposal specifically to ex-
empt all married men was made
when the bill was in the senate, an
amendment to that effect by Sena-
tor Smith of Georgia being lost by
n wide margin. This fact together
with the regulations later promul-
gated by the President making ex-
emption possible only in case Of
actual dependency are taken as in
dications that no general exemption
for married men as a class will be
given now.

when two Germans attacked him
with incendiary bullets. He escaped
however, with one bullet hole through
a lower place, by outmaneuvering
his opponents. He is believed to
have brought down one German.
Adjutant Masson's command was
attacked by a patrol Of three places

Willis was missing when his group
returned to its base after the bomb

up.

squarely on top of his light chasing
machine. He saw the danger in time
and scrambled out to safety. His

Washington. Aug. 20.-Authoriza-

100000 and future s4,000,000,000

tary desires power to issue addi-
tional certificates of indebtedness to
the amount or $4,000, 900, 900 and an
equal amount Of war savings certi-
ficates in a form available to small
investors.
Lives of the certificates of in
debtedness and war savings certi-
ficates would be limited to one and
five years respectively and they
would be subject to discount and
payment in the discretion of the
secretary.
He also would fix the. interest
rates and regulate interest payments.
They, like the bonds would be sub
ject only to supertax, war profits and
excess profit taxes.
Inclusion of the two additional GER
tificate proposals mot mentioned
heretofore by administration leaders
in connection with the bill, is UNI
derstood to be principally for the
purpose of providing against sud-
den demand for money which the
treasury might not be able to meet.
AS congressional leaders understood
the situation it may not be neces-
saFy to issue many of the certificates,
but they would prove the means OF
getting money quickly IL it were

In the war savings certificates pro-
posal administration leaders think
they have discovered a means Of ap-
pealing to the patriotic man OF small
means. Purchases OF these certifi-
Gates would be limited to 800 worth
at al time and no Individual even
would be permitted to hold more

are also been made to accept very
small payments on them, the bill
