NAMES EXPORT BODY
PRESIDENT CREATES BOARD TO
HAVE CONTROL OVER SHIP
MENTS or SUPPLIES.
POWER TO ORDER EMBARGOES
Neutral Nations Known to Have Been
Engaged In Supplying Germany
With Food and Munitions
Will Be Hit.

Washington, June 81. - President
Wilson, by executive order on Monday
created the new export council, better
known as the embargo board. 1t will
have complete authority to declare
embargoes on exports from this cOun-
try and is expected to prove a most
powerful weapon in dealing with the
neutral nations that are known to have
been engaged in supplying Germany
with foodstuffs and materials for the
manufacture of munitions.
Under the presidents order, the new
council is made up Of a representative
of the commerce, agricultural and state
departments and Of the food admins
tration. The placing Of an embargo by
this newly created organization will
make it impossible for neutrals to ex-
port great quantities Of fOodstuffs and
other supplies from this country.
Through this powerful weapon the
United States will be able to follow the
exports form this country all the way
to the ultimate consumer.
The new council will have under It's
direction staff of 200 employees to
carry on the actual work of licensing
exports. This staff will be under the
direction Of DR.. q. e. Pratt, chief or
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce Of the department OF COM
merce. Doctor Pratt, it is understood,
will be appointed by Secretary OF Com
merce Redneld to be representative OF
his department on the council. The
work of licensing exports is expected
to be under way within "a hours.
Meanwhile the rush to get exports
cleared before licenses are demanded
continues. Shippers fear that the red
tape Of getting licenses for each car
go would result in serious delays, and
are trying to get all shipments OF the
docks before the licensing bureau can
get to work.
The new export council will decide
all questions Of policy relating to ex-
ports. 1t will have the power, not
only to head off shipments of commodi-
ties to the central powers and to neu-
trails. but will also have authority to
cut off exports of commodities need
ed at home.

Will SON NAMES
DRAFT BOARDS
FOR The STATES
Exemption Regulations to Be An
nounCed Soon.
WORK TO START NEXT WEEK
Report From the White House says
That Men Will Be Selected Not
Only for the Army but for All
Other War Work.

washington, June 27.-President
Wilson today appointed the local
boards named by the governors to
hear exemption claims on the first
draft, by which $4,000 are to be Sc
lected for the army.
The rules governing exemptions
have not yet been issued, but will be
soon, SO the work of selecting the
army may be begun next week.
\ In great majority of the cases the
personnel of the boards shows that
President Wilson followed the sugges-
tons of army officials that city and
county officials be utilized.
Boards Named by Governors.
The president, however, had asked
the governors of the various states
to nominate candidates for the
boards, and it may be assumed that
the boards as announced have the
approval, not only of the president,
but Of the state executives.
In New York city and Philadelphia
the boards, have not yet been an
nounced.
The "a states in which committees
are complete, with those exceptions,
are Washington, West Virginia, Utah,
Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Minne-
sofa, Nevada, Montana, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Colorado,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas,
Tennessee, Connecticut, Illinois, New
York and Pennsylvania.
Exemption regulations were whipped
into final shape at the cabinet meet
promulgate them within the next 48
hours.
With few exceptions, the rules are
the same as contained in the draft
submitted to President Wilson by
Provost General Crowder. 1t is un-
tain exemptions, believing every man
in the nation must do his share in the
war, whether on the battle front or
not, and work within the country on
war duties will be found for many I'M
fit physically to go into the trenches
Ne
Information emanating from the
White House during the last two days
indicates the draft will be much heav
Ter than has been suspected. Instead
Of merely picking men for the army,
many will be drafted for other war
work.
The grounds on which exemptions
will be made on the first draft follow.
i. Physical incapacity, including
heart disease, fiat feet, eye defects
which cannot be corrected by glasses,
tuberculosis and other chest diseases,
cancer, kidney or liver affections, vari-
cose veins, infectious blood diseases.
2 Employment in vital war indus
tries, including shipbuildlng, munitions
making, work in gun and supply fac
tories, navy yards, oil fields, coal mines
and certain government duties. Even
tually women will replace many of
these men, who will be released for
army service.
g. Religious opposition. Only those
who were members of such faith be-
fore March Is will be exempted.
4. Men the sole support Of families.
The instructions to the exemption
boards include drastic provisions to
prevent favoritism and evasion of
service. The boards are expected to
begin work Immediately after receiy-
ing notice of appointment.
