FOR A RELIEF SHIP
Tells His Agent He Has Plenty

BOSTON, July 27.-Donald B. Mac
MILAN. the Arctic explorer, who has
been in the polar country for the past
four years, expects to return home by
September Is. next. according to letter
to H. F. Parker of this city, manager
of his personal affairs, made public to-
day. The letter was dated at Etah, No
vember 6, last, and is believed to be the
first direct word from Macmillan this
yeass ough eadvices have been re-
ceiyed indirectly.
III our relief ship does not fail us q
third time" the explorer writes, ~
should reach home about September Is,
1917.
although l have had or will have
had four years in the arctic, yet 1 am
not a bit tired of it, and have planned
for further work.
AS you know, we failed to find
Crocker Land. l am sorry for Peary,
who was. without doubt. sincere in
his belief that it lay some 120 miles
due northwest of Cape Thomas Hub
and then were rewarded with nothing
but clear horizon.
Six Islands Are Discovered.
Last year ! reached my objective
point, King Christian Land, the Finy
Land of some sixty years ago, which
has never been visited. as far as l
know. Returning l headed for North
Cornwall, which also has never been
explored. En- route, six new islands
were discovered and many miles of
coast line mapped. Incidentally, we
picked up about fifty musk oxen and
twenty polar bears. Am now planning
another long trip in the spring, which,
when completed. will net me about
5000 miles of dog team work
I'VE have enough food for the year,
such as it is. Our supplies consist
largely of beans. salt beef, dehydro veg
etables, whole wheat biscuit and
pemmican. Walrus and seal meat are in
cache and hare on the hills. The ducks
and dovekies will be back in May and
then we shall be in the land of plenty
again."

NO PHYSICAL TESTS

Examinations of These Men
Requesting Exemptions to !,

TO HEAR THE CLAIMS FIRST

Some of the burden of examining
scores of prospects for the national
army is to be lifted from the examining
physicians of the exemption boards as
result of conference held today at the
District building between Dr. Daniel II.
Martin and Raymond o. Wilmarth Of
exemption board No. ! and Daniel Dom
ovan, secretary of the board of Commits
sioners.
The examiners will not have to put
through the physical test men who pro-
pose to claim exemption from service on
account of the fact that they are aliens.
Exemption division No. /, the head
quarters of which are at the Franklin
School and covers the registrants at the
Franklin, Arthur and Gales schools, has
a large alien population. Under strict
Interpretation of the regulations the
boards physician, DR.. J. ]. Kilroy, would
have to examine a large number of men
whom 1t is certain would claim exemp-
ton on account of the fact that they are
aliens. 1t would be useless work.

TO CONSIDER NEXT WEEK
ALLEGED MAIL TAMPR|NG
House Committee to Discuss Further
Steps in Sensational Charges
Against P. O. Service.

In consequence Of the sensational tes-
timony given yesterday by two men,
bers of the House, alleging tampering
with their mail. the House committee
on expenditures in the Post Office De-
what further steps shall be taken to
pursue the investigation. 1t is not
thought that the House will be content
to let the case rest with only this par
tial disclosure.
The committee would like to have the
testimony of Democratic State Chair
man Michael OLeary of Massa chusetts
and of Postmaster Murray of Boston in
connection with the charges made yes
terday, but is in quandry how to OBJ
tain it, The committee has no funds to
summon witnesses, and. indeed, its au-
thority over the subject itself has been
challenged by Postmaster General Bur
lescn.
1t may be necessary to report the tes-
timony thus far elected to the House
and leave it to the membership whether
the committee shall go on with the in
vestigation, with authority that cannot
be questioned and with means to prose-
cute it. or whether a special committee
shall be appointed or the whole case
dropped.
Post Office Silent Over Charges.
If the Post Office Department has
taken steps to investigate the charges
of mail tampering made yesterday by
Representatives Tague and Dallinger,
nothing to that effect could be discov-
cred at the department today.
Postmaster General Burleson was in
accessible. and John c. Koons. first as
sistant postmaster general. declared
that he had heard nothing from his su-
perior upon the matter.
Chief Inspector Sutton, under whose
direction all investigation of charges
against the postal service is made fatty
refused this afternoon to discuss the
mail tampering charges. He would not
say whether the Postmaster General
had or had not brought the charges of
the two representatives officially to his
notice.

WANTS LIQUOR PROVISION
IN DRAFT LAW AMENDED
Attorney General Thinks Its Terms
Are Not Broad Enough to Cover
What il. Intended,

Attorney General Gregory has sent a
letter to Senator Chamberlain, chair
man of the Senate military affairs COM
mittee. recommending that the provi-
sion of the army draft law prohibiting
the sale Of liquor TO men in uniform be
broadened SO as to include gift.
The representatives of the Depart
ment of Justice here have determined
that the language Of 'he law is not
broad enough to cover what Congress
apparently intended; that men in uni
form should not be served with liquor,
particularly in barrooms. They have
decided that under the terms of the
law as now written 1t is not possible
to prosecute except where an actual
sale is made to soldier or an officer in
uniform
