DRAFT EXEMPTION BOARDS
MUST USE GREATEST CARE

Washington. - The gravity of the
task which faces members of local
draft exemption boards is called to
their attention in solemn language in
a communication sent broadcast by
the war department and made public
Monday by Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
President Wilson issued an execu-
tive order directing government Of
ficials to exercise the greatest care"
in issuing exemption affidavits to en-
ployes in the civil executive depart
ments, emphasizing the high national
Importance of carrying out "the spirit
of the selective service act and of Sc
curing its fullest effectiveness by hold
ing to military service all drafted men
who are not absolutely indispensable"
to department work. He says dis
charges, should be reduced to the min
imum number consistent with the
maintenance of vital national interests
during the emergency of war.
at is earnestly hoped, moreover"
the order concludes, "that, acting in
the spirit as the federal departmental
officials, all citizens who may be call
ed upon, as employers, under section
A OF the regulations, to make affida-
Wits for securing the discharge of per-
sons deemed to be indispensable to the
national industrial interests during the
emergency will exercise the same con-
scientious and scrupulous caution to
the end that there will appear TO be
no favored or exempted class among
the citizens called by law to the ma
tional defense"

position of pronounced quiet and I'M
usual uncertainty. The former con-
dition is due to the fact that the
season is between hay and grass,
with light supplies in all position,
with holders disinclined to relin-
quish, and with buyers practically
out of the market, their immediate
needs being provided for, and the
discouragement to speculative activ-
ity generally recognized. The future
position of the market is regarded as
dependent almost entirely upon the
probable action of the government in
framing the food control bill, and in
the meantime, future trading is prac-
tically nil. Locally prices are prac-
tically nominal, but with a wider
spread than normal, the big differen-
tial being in favor of milling grades
Flour-Flour, following declines
with the price of wheat, shows an
undertone of strength, due to the
fact that the market has strength
ened materially for the raw material
Demands are ruling quiet, and there
is a general tendency to buy only
against immediate requirements. The
flour market is in the same position
of uncertainty that obtains in wheat
and activity in operations will avail
a settlement of the government atti
tude.
Feed-Prices have been easing OF
moderately, with approach of new
seasons conditions, and oats an,
feed wheat are slightly lower. Corn
however, is sharply advanced, il
sympathy with the recent furry i

lower prices, but indications point I

If there were no wars of aggression
there would be no wars, and lasting

made safe for democracy, when that
great principal prevails, universal
peace will be an accomplished fact.
Time Not Yet Come.

than the United States when that time
comes. But it has not yet come. A
great people, ruled in thought and
word as well as in deed by the most
sinister government of modern times,

is straining every nerve to supplant
democracy by the autocracy which
they have been taught to worship.
When will the German people awaken
to the truth? When will they arise in
their might and cast off the yoke and
become their own masters? | fear
that it will not be until the physical
might of the united democracies of the
world has destroyed forever the evil
ambitions of the military rulers of
Germany and liberty triumphs over
it's arch enemies"

Million Provided for Nitrate

WESTINGHOUSE and house con-
ferees on the administration food con-
troll bill Saturday smoothed out their
differences on a prohibition provision.
The prohibition provision approved
provides that 30 days after the bill be-
comes law no person shall use any
foods, fruits, food materials or feeds
in the production of any distilled splr-
its for beverage purposes, with sepa-
rate stipulation that the prohibition
shall not apply to the fertilization OF
sweet wines. Importation OF distilled
spirits is prohibited in a new section.
Power TO President.
The house conferees receded on
their opposition to the liquor command
eering amendment which was adopted
substantially as written by the senate
except to include whisky in stock as
we'll as in bond. This section directs
the president to commander any or
all such distilled spirits for redistilla-
ton where it may be necessary for
munitions and other military or hosp
ital supplies.
The spirits Communicated would be
paid for by the government. 1t was
understood at the capitol that the pres
ident has no present purpose OF re-
sorting to the communicating author
ity. The president is given discretion
to stop either the manufacture or i'm
portation Of beer and wines.
So Wheat Guaranty 1918.
There was little opposition to the
senate's 81 wheat guaranty amend
ment, but it was changed so as t.
make it apply to next years crop in
stead of this years. The section
authorizes the president, when he find
that an emergency exists, requiring
stimulation of wheat production ant
that is is essential for wheat producer
to have the benefits of guaranty t.

kets. 1t also provides for additiona
customs duties on wheat, when nee
essary, to bring the price of the i'm
ported article up to the guaranty.
The S1O,OOO,000 appropriation TO

as agreed to, authorizes the presiden
to procure necessary stocks of nitrat
of soda for increasing agriculture
production during 1918 and to dis
