Exemption Boards

The Exemption Boards throughout the
country have finished their arduous du'
ties in connection with the selection OF
men between 21 and 81, heretofore regis
tered for military service. Great power
and broad discretion are vested IN these
boards, the performance of whose func-
tions in fair manner is essential to the
success of the new system Of raising an
army Young men who enter the army
must feel that there is no favoritism or
discrimination. They must realize that
every mans case has been considered
upon its merits and that in no place has
"pull" kept any person otherwise eligible
from being drafted. Recruits selected
fairly will be as enthusiastic and make as
good soldiers as volunteers. Lamoille
county has an Exemption Board in which
every confidence can be placed. The board
finished their work and made their re-
turns last Friday. About 100 names
have been sent in from this county.

Washington, Dec. 8. = That Gar
Nicholas had escaped from his place of
confinement in Siberia was the rumor

to the state department today.
The department IS advices gave no de-
tails, merely reporting rumor at
Tiflis to the effect that NAe czar had
escaped.
Nicholas, following his dethronement
by the revolution this spring was
spirited out of Petrograd to the small
prison village of Tobolsk in Siberit
He was reported to have been housed
there under heavy guard, accompanied
by his wife and their children. Their
home was set up in simplicity that
contrasted sharply with their former
splendor, in large house in Tobolsk.
Recently a statement purported to
have been made by the depOsed szar
through a neighboring monkery dis
claimed any intention of seeking to
regain the throne. But officials here
have never ceased to speculate on the
possibility that out of the present
chaos in Russia the monarchists might
not attempt to liberate the czar. Ger
tain units in the army are still believed
to be loyal to him or amenable to the
influence of their officers who might
be brought to lead monarchlst eoun-
ter revolution. There is nothing to
confirm the rumor of the scape, how

Only Alternative Is Direction
Of Railroads by War Board
As AT Present

Washington, Dec. s. - Government
control of the railroads is persistently
reported today to be President VII.
son 8 solution of the transportation
crisis. Appointment of a federal rail
road dictator will be the first step to-
ward unification of all the lines dur
ing the war. He will run the railroads
as one big system, making common use
of trackage, equipment and terminals
and pool revenues in a manner at pres
ent illegal under private management.
Government guarantee of the rail
road securities held by investors is
certain. Stockholders will be assured
that their interests will be protected
under government management.
The only alternative seen today was
continuation of the present direction
of the lines by the railroads war board
and operating committee Of vice pres
idents with government loans and con-
gressional repeal of antitrust acts. The
delay entailed in obtaining such legis-
lation initiates against this plan.
Railroad executives anticipate that
the president will appoint govern
ment traffic manager to coordinate
existing transportation agencies In var
ious war making branches, such as the
army, navy, food and fuel administra-
tion and shipping board. Conflicting
and numerous priority orders from
tnese different officials are blamed by
railway men as largely responsible for
present congested freight conditions.
But the railroad executives have not
yet abandoned all hope of retaining
their present control. If regulatcTy
laws were suspended for the war and
the government gives financial aid
the present management could solve
America S transportation problem bet
ter than it could be handled under gov
ernment operation, Chairman FairfaN
Harrison, of the railroads war board
said.
Passenger traffic will be drastically
curtailed, under either solution, author
tiles agreed today.
Definite announcement is expected
from the white house next week. At
conference with Senator Newlands OF
Monday, President Wilson will receive
the railroads final terms and shortly
afterward will make known his decis
ion. Congress may not be asked for It'll
approval, the president being clothed
with the power to take over the rail
ways as war measure.
