These were sample instances
submitted by First Lieut.. II. J,
Whitacre for the consideration Of
the members council of the Com.
mercial club Wednesday. Most Of
the discrimination, he said, was
against privates, the officers being
able to look out for themselves,
"Seventy-five thousand dollars
day will be spent in Tacoma In
addition to the contracts let by
the quartermasters department at
Camp Lewis, If Tacoman mer-
chants will permit it," declared
Whitacre, but complaints are con-
stantly coming to me of over-
charging and an unjust attitude.
The boys appreciate what Tacoma
has done for them, and they want
to help Tacoma; but they want
fair play"

THIEF DROPS
THE CLOTHING

The only reason that Motor
man E. c. Anderson of the T. r.
& p. Co. is able to operate his
street car today is because a thief
who stole the trousers and vest of
his uniform last night generously
dropped them in the street before
Anderson's home, after robbing
them.
The thief slashed a hole in the
screen OF the bedroom window at
Anderson's home, 613 So. 18th
street, and pulled the trousers and
vest off a chair. He removed a
watch. purse with 81, and foun-
tain pen from the garments, and
then dropped them in the middle
of the street.
While Anderson waited in bed
this morning, wondering whether
a man would be pinched for wear
ing only coat to work, his wife
went scouting" and found the
garments in the dust.

The Convicts
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
In recent Times / noticed a
piece concerning convicts, and
should they be allowed to fight
for their own country?
What are we going to do? Turn
them loose at the close of their
sentence to do more dirt and
harm?
They rightly should be put to
the front to be the first ones
killed off, and not the poor, inno-
cent boys that have mothers,
wives and children to support.
We are paying for the keeping
of the convicts, and what good are
they doing? They should be put
to the front where they would be
doing good for the country.

Four motor passenger coaches,
four trailer cars and an electric
locomotive for Tacoma's tideflats
street car line were purchased at
Salt Lake City Wednesday by
Commissioner Atkins for $26, 200.
The cars are all of similar size
and pattern to the Tacoma-Seattle
interurban coaches, and have
powerful motors.
Atkins received a tip last week
that the cars were for sale cheap,
because a short interurban line
at Salt Lake City had been trans
formed to a steam railroad, and
he bought the cars at what city
commissioners believe to be tre-

In estimates for the cost of the

EXEMPT MAN
IN DISTRICT ;

Edward Joseph kurZke, a truck
driver, 1929 East Goth, is the first
man in Tacoma to be formally ex-
empted from military service by a
local exemption board.
Kurzke brought his wife before
Examiners Rydstrom and Corey
of board No. 3, in the federal
building. Thursday morning, and
after brief examination, he was
given an official discharge from
obligation to join the draft army.
Mrs. Kurzke is an invalid and
requires constant attention.
She has no relatives or friends
in Tacoma who could take care Of
her If her husband were put in
the army.
Examinations Ending.
Physical examinations in all six
boards of Pierce county and Ia
coma will be completed at .
o'clock Thursday, and the work of
passing judgment on claims for
exemption will begin at once.
Besides studying the affidavits
presented by men who wish to
escape army service, the boards
will make personal examination
of his proof by interviewing his
neighbors, relatives and others
who may know of his circum-
stances.
To Make New Call.
Every one of the six boards will
have to get additional names from
the draft list for examination, in
order to have sufficient eligible
men for filling the required quota
in each district, and the new sum-
monses may be issued before the
end of the week.
Official figures from some of
the boards Thursday showed that
the number of claims for examp-
ton are between So and 80 per
cent of the total number called.
In district No. l, which exam
ines men at the Provident build
ing, 81 men had been examined
up to noon Thursday, and 81 had
asked exemption.
Not So Strict.
At the Federal building, 65 had
been examined Tuesday and We'd
nesday, with only nine waving ex-
emption claims.
Physical reflections were dimin-
ishing in proportion in all districts
Thursday, partially caused by in
structions giving greater latitude
in the medical examination.
Forty men were called for ex-
animation at the federal building
Wednesday. OF this number, 23
passed the physical examination,
six were rejected, one was a Ger
man, two we're Japanese, two
were already enlisted, and six
failed to appear. Seven of the
23 physically eligible men did
not ask for exemptions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. g.
Further steps were taken by the

ice in the new national army. -.
A ruling of the provost marshal
greatly modified the physical re-

teeth so as to meet the demands
of proper mastication, the man
with defective teeth should either
be accepted or allowed sufficient

boards.
Reductions in weight of from
5 to IL pounds, according to
height and in chest measurements
of one half inch in cases of men
taller than five feet eight inches,
were also allowed.
Regulations in ear and eye tests
were modified slightly so as to
exclude fewer men for defects in
hearing and sight.
There has been no report
from any district in Pierce
county yet of an exemption

Of conscientious objection to

Now, Mr.. Editor, as a citizen of
Tacoma, ask you to tell the peo-
pie all about Mr.. Griggs' record
as such officer in the state militia.

MEN
PASS HIGHER

Exemption OF all men cdlleu
from county draft district No. 1
will be completed Thursday, 1t was
evident at noon.
While Wednesdays high per-
centage of physical fitness was not
maintained, Chairman James r.
Thompson said a further call will
not be issued until figures for the
entire examination have been
checked over, to ascertain wheth-
er 1t is necessary.
Nineteen applicants were called
in the morning and 10 in the aft
ernoon.
Some men who were passed
Wednesday but did not take ex-
emption blanks at that time, came
in for them Thursday. On the
other hand, Thompson expressed
the opinion that several applicants
who have taken blanks on which
to make application for exemption
will not use them.
IL Waive Claim.
'They take them simply in or

if they find that they cannot ar
range their affairs so as to leave,'
he said. THE fact that a man
takes an exemption blank does
not justify anyone in calling him
a Stacker, as he may never use it,.
Thirty-one of those passed We'd
nesday took exemption blanks.
Thirteen did not, and may be con-
sidered as secured for the army If
they do not claim exemption with
in the next few days. Eight were
rejected for physical defects.
The showing of "a passed ply
sically out of As examined is con-
sidered remarkable.
Aliens Won't Serve.
John c. Hagen, called Wednes-
day, had already enlisted in the
naval militia. Such enlistments,
however, are counted in Pierce
county's quota Just as if the men
had been examined and passed by
the board.
Peter Rye, another man called,
is very i'll at Mountain View SAM
tarium. The physical examina-
ton will have to be made at his
bedside.
Three aliens informed the board
Wednesday that they didn't want
to serve" They were John Rosen-
berg of Vaughn, Gus Gustafson OF
Ruston, and Edward Olof Kir-
kreit, who gave his address as
"Buffelen Lumber Co., Tacoma"
John McWilliams, a laborer at
the Tacoma smelter, probably has
more grounds for exemption than
any other man who has yet ap-
peared. But members of the
board in district No. / say he has
small show for escaping army
duty.
First he said that he was sup
porting a mother and father in
Ireland. But he couldn't tell the
examiners when he sent money to
them last, or how much he sent
regularly.
Then he said he was suffering
from rheumatism. But there
wasn't any evidence of it.
He next said that he couldn't
get acclimated, and had sickness
with every change of season. AS
a final claim, he declared that he
had broken his ankle years ago,
and it wasn't strong yet. But the
physician found the bone had
healed perfectly.
"He was the most strenuous
objector to military service that
I have yet seen, but it looks very
much as If he won't get his ex-
emption," remarked e. l.. Hib-
erly of the board.
