TWO GIRLS SHOT AS
 SPIES AFTER SEEING
 PARENTS EXECUTED

LONDON, July 31, (Mail Cores pondence) A dispatch received today by the Wireless Press from AmSter- dam, says: "The German authorities at Liege, Belgium, arrested, tried and sentenced to death within three days an infueuntial Liege merchant named Croneret, his wife and their two daughters, aged 20 and 14 years, on the improved crarge of espionage. The father and mother were both shot to death in the presence of their daugh- terS. The latter were offered their freedom if they reevaled the names of their parents accomplices. The girls refused, the eldest stating if we speak we might cause fifty people to be killed. We would rather die alone. She was immediately shot. The youngest girl then was tortured, out ragged and also shot,"

COAL MINERS
 NOT EXEMPT
Provost Marshal Makes Ruling That Miners Must Answer Call of
 Admy Draft

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The coal production committee of the Council of National Defense was informed re- gently that Provost Marshal General Crowder had definitely refused to ex- empt miners as a class from the se- lective draft. No class exemptions will be made, as is definitely set forth under section A of the exemption reg ulations. which states that any claims for discharge on the part of persons engaged in industries, including agri- culture, must be filed with the district board on form provided by the Pro- vost Marshal General and supplied by district and local boards for that pur- pose.
 Gen. Crowder's office has been del uged with mail, hundreds of letters coming from the heads of large in dustrial concerns and pleading for spe- cial exemptions in the case of men do- ing specialized work. Appeals of this kind can accomplish nothing, as the Provost Marshal General can not show any favoritism. The question of whether or notsa man is more useful to his country in a peaceful pursuit than in military service is matter to be taken up with the district board and for that board to determine in the light of the circumstances surrounding each individual case.
