E. F. Ladd. president Of the North 49,
kota Agricultural college, and by
Thomas Cooper. director of the North
Dakota experiment station, co-operat-

agriculture, to the end that producers

ENGLAND Will
NOT UNDERTAKE
REPRISALS
Government Shows no Signs
of Yielding to Popu-
lar Clamor
CANNOT INITIATE
GERMAN BRUTALITY
100 Bombs Dropped Behind
German Lines to Every
One Behind British
(By Associated Press.)


London, June 2S.-No intention Of
yielding to the widespread demands for
reprisals on German towns for the
German air raids on England, was
shown in debate on the subject yes
terday in the House of Lords. The
question having been raised by Lord
Strachie, Baron Sydenham, former
chairman OF the air board. deprecated
the policy of reprisals. He said he
felt sure that in future years the Brit
ish would be thankful they had not
lowered themselves to the level Of the
Germans. Furthermore, 1t was not
generally realized that bombing re-
prisals Of military nature were a
systematic and daily occurrence behind
eminent to tell the country something
about these operations.
In behalf Of the government the Earl
of Derby, minister of war expressed
belief that the whole country would
associate itself with the suggestion
that England should not try to initiate
German brutality. He added on the
authority of the head Of the aircraft
service in France that for every bomb
the Germans dropped behind the Brit
ish lines, the British dropped a. hun
dred behind the German lines. This
bombing, he said, had a solely mill
tary object and the government con-
sidered that nothing should be done
to tie hands of the military authori-
ties in the employment of the aircraft
at their disposal in the best way to
bring the war to a successful conclu-
sion.

national army selective draft law. Of
placing the question of exemptions ia
the hands OF local boards is expected
to characterize the exemption reguIa-
lions TO be made public by the war
department in a few days.
It is understood the regulations will
map out only the general procedure Of
the boards. It Is regarded as certain
that no specific exemptions will be
provided for and that each man will
be appraised on his individual occupa-
ton and physical capacity.
The judgment OF civilian doctors
who are attached TO local exemption
boards as to the ability OF any indi-
vidual to bear the hardships OF SOL
dier's life will he a determining fac
tor.
I, Married men will not be exempted
as a class. In each case the board
of wife, children or other relatives
upon any man Is so complete as to
warrant his rejection. Probably the
boards will be furnished with sugges-
tons as to occupational exemptions.
The government can outline generally
the professions or trades which must
be maintained at full strength behind
the fighting lines. The Importance of
an individual in that profession or
trade, however, can only be determined
by the local board.
No inl1ling has been given as to the
part assigned to those who are to be
granted partial exemption because of
religious belief. They are to be freed OF
the necessity of firing upon enemy
soldiers and therefore from regular
military service, but the act contem-
plates that they can serve in some
non combatant capacity behind the
lines and holds them liable for such
service.
