1T is thus apparent that the filing

Too Many Filing Exemption Claims

Crowder to telegraph the governor
of the States tonight directing thai
local boards reduce discharges fol

class and to very nccessitous and
gtSiearly defined circumstances"
( In some districts as high as 30 per
cent. of registrants called for cXcmp-
ton are filing claims for discharge On
the ground of dependent relatives.
Such a condition indicates, General
Crowder said, that unfair advantage
is being taken of the regulations de

threatens to interfere seriously with

necessity is to raise an army it is
advisable to disturb dependents just
as little as the necessity of raising an
army will permit. To this end Sec
ton 1S of the regulations was com
piled carefully and after the most

is to prove that the generous condi-

abuse of them will interfere with the
raising of an army, then 1t is no
longer advisable to discharge SO wide

therein will have to be restricted un-
til an advisable rule is reached.
Nothing has happened to change
the belief that the persons enumcrat-
ed in Section 18 could be discharged
without interfering with the raising
of an army, but there are Indications
that abuses of Section Is may rem

Reports are to the effect that in
some districts as high as 80 per cent.

TO START TRAINING
HALF MILLION SOON

Washington, Aug. 13.-The entire
$4,000 men composing the first in
crement of the army draft forces will
| be under training early in October.
Under orders issued today the first 80
per cent. of the quota of each dis
trlct will begin entrainment for can
tonments September 5; the next 80
per cent, September IS, and another
30 per cent, September 80. The re-
naming 10 per cent. will be mobilized
as soon after that date as possible.
The plan to assemble the new forces
in three increments distributes the
, task of furnishing supplies and equip
ment through September. 1t will also
prevent serious shortages in any
camp and will give the new officers
from the training camps time TO
famlllariZe themselves with their du-
ties gradually before responsibility
for great body of men falls on them
The order issued today means that
about $4,000 men will reach each Of
the 16 cantonments soon after Sen
tember 5. They will first be cxamin-
ed physically by army doctors and fl
nally accepted or rejected. This vii,

to be furnished with temporary quart
