President Wilson announces that all
married men whose wives are depend
ent, will be exempted, no matter when
married. This strikes us as being a
logical move. We do not hesitate to
say that we think the government
should be very lenient- with the ex-
emptions of the good men and put
their names aside till the non-produc-
ers are all gone. When such time
comes, if it comes, that the married
men and producers of the country
are needed to fight for it's rights.
then they should go, and we believe
that they will be willing to go. At
present it is to be hoped they will
be allowed to remain here and some
of the ne'er-do-well class drawn. We
can so much easier spare them.
