Bohemian Colony Told That All
Frances Famous Artists Are in
TTenchcs-Hard Callouses on
Farmers Hands to Exempt Them
Many Men Fleeing Cities to Farms
to Escape Service.

Washington. June 23.-Baseball
players. artists, actors and authors
must take their chances with the 9TH
err 100000 men in the great s%electlve
draft. There are no provisions for
their exemption from military service
in the exemption regulations 1t be-
came known definitely today.
Unless they are Indispensable and
serve to contribute to the "mainten-
the national interest in the emer-
gency," such men will be subject to
draft.
Several managers of baseball teams
have asked the war department
whether their players will be subject
to consumption.
An inquiry from an artists colony
In Greenwich village. in New York,
was answered by pointing out that
practically all Of Frances famous
artists are in the trenches.
Big, hard .%callouses on the hands
will be, m Of the contributing causes
for farmers. Among other things the
appellate exemption boards will take
into consideration the length of time
certain farmers" have been tilling
the soil. Men by hundreds are fleeing
cities to work on farms, hoping there
by to be classed az farmers and es-
cape military service, according to re-
ports to. the war department. In some
cases names we're turned over t. the
department of justice.
Some Of the "shirkers" offered to
work during the summer for practi-
cally nothing but board and room.
This aroused the suspicion of the
farmers. who reported the unusual
situation to the war department.
