Coal and Oil Lands
Lease Bill Revived

The answer to the present coal and
oil shortages will be submitted to Con-
gress today, according to members of
the committee on public lands Of the
House of Representatives They will
report for the third time the bill pro-
viding for leasing government coal
and oil lands. 1t has passed the
House twice, but has never become
law.
This bill would make available more
than 6Oo,ooo.oo0 acres Of coal land, and
probably half as much oil territory.
1t will provide regulations for leasing
by individuals or firms. and viii in
sure q proper return to the govern
ment for the concessions.
Members Of the committee declared
that the opening Of government oil
and coal lands would undoubtedly put
enough fuel on the market to alleviate
present conditions and insure against
future shortages.
They believe the bill will become
law this time. because the navy, and
the allied navies are in dire need OF
both coal and oil.

This Is the war message which is
suggested by Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels in his annual report, and

izing the events in this department
during the past fiscal year.

pairing for and are confident we will
be able to meet any call for greater

peace is to preparH increasingly, night
and day. for the winning Of the war.
whether It be long or short. This we
have done; this We are doing. and this
we will continue to do"
Mr.. Daniels pictures the possibility
OF an international navy to keep the
world peace. Such an agreement can
not be cherished now. he says, that all
the world is at war. But II this con-
dition could not be reached In time Of
peace" he adds, may we not believe
that It will be one Of the compensations
for the terrible tragedy Of war; Each
naval power. he says. should assign
units to the international force in pro-
portion to its wealth and population.

Only in rare cases are railway mail
clerks to be exempted. The Postoffice
Department announced today that
published reports of blanket eXemp-
tion for this class of postal employees
were based on misinterpretation of
the department order covering postal
exemption. Only scheme clerks, chief
clerks and assistant chief clerks of the
railway service will be- given excmp-
tions and most Of them are above
military age.
Postal Exemptions.
The Postoflice Department announc-
ed also that it would certify exemp-
tion for postofiicc inspectors, but not
for postmasters. Postmasters of the
first, second and third classes, how
ever, are exempted specifically under
the law.
1T developed today that the Navy
Department, misunderstanding the
War Department ruling as voluntary
enlistment Of registered men, had in
structed its recruiting officers to ac-
cept registrants into the navy even
if they had been called before their
local selection boards for examination.
The mistake quickly was corrected,
recruiting stations being told by tclc-
graph that no man called for exami-
nation under the draft law could be
accepted into any branch of the mill
tary or naval service as a voluntary
recruit.
Plans to provide publicity facilities
at camps or the national army and
the National Guard are to be left en-
tirely to the discretion Of the camp
commanders, who will be authorized
to permit newspaper correspondents
to establish Offices within the camp
limits and to maintain private tele-
graph or telephone lines there if
deemed advisable. No such privi-
leges will be granted, however, until
the camps actually are established.

Work of Organizing.

Presumably the first increment will
have been organized into skeleton
battalions or regiments be-
fore the second arrives. The new
comers can be quickly absorbed by
a going concern in that case, and the

In farming communities local
boards will arrange the lists of those
to fill the first increment with local
crop conditions in mind. Harvesting
is in progress in many sections.
Drafted men engaged in that work
and who otherwise would go with the

Ruling as to Dependents.
Reviewing the question OF discharge
for dependent relatives, Provost Mar,
shall Gen. Crowder issued a supple
mental ruling today holding that ptr-
sons should not be discharged because
of dependents residing abroad.
"The object Of the law permitting
persons to be discharged provided he
has a person falling within any of
the classes of dependents, depend
ent upon him was to prevent such de-
pendents becoming charges upon the
American people," the ruling says.
Conscientious Directors.
"a dependent residing abroad could
not become such charge"
That conscientious objcctors to war
are not to be excused entirely from
serving the country. was made clear
in another ruling by the provost mar
shall, holding that such persons should
be sent 20 the mobilization camps
along with others drafted, to be as
signed later to non-combatant
branches of the service.
