WAR DEPARTMENT WRITES
TO EXEMPTION OFFICERS
Local Board Members Reminded
That They Are to Act for Ma
tional Interest Only

Washington, d. c.. July 28.-The
gravity of the task confronting the
members of the local exemption
boards is called to their attention in
stolen language in a communication
sent to the boards by the war depart
ment and made public tonight by
the provost marshal general.
1.-The selected man offers his life"
says the communication. 1T will
strengthen you to remember that for
every exemption or discharge that is
made for individuals in order that
they may escape service or the loss
of money or property or for reasons
of favor or affection some other man
whose time would otherwise not have
come must incur the risk of the loss
of his life"
The boards are told that they are
not courts to adjust differences be-
tween two persons in controversy.
you, acting for the Government"
says the communication. "are to in
vestigate each Ease in the interest of
the Nation and not in the interest of
individual" General Crowder closes
with the declaration that the Nation
needs men quickly and that the
boards will receive little praise and
some blame. Your only reward"
he said, must be the knowledge
that at a great personal sacrifice you
are rendering your country an i'm
portant service in the settlement of
matters of the greatest moment"

Selection Boards Instead
OF Exemption Boardy

Washington. d. c.. July rs. PRO.
vost Marshal General Crowder point.
ed out to-day that the local boards
are really selective boards and not
exemption boards. The principal
purpose, he said, is to select from
the registered men those qualified
for military service. The men they
turn away after examination will be
rejected because of physical disability
or because of having dependents.
The exemption boards proper are
the district boards which have the
power to say whether the work Of .
man at home will be more important
to the Government than his services
as a soldier.

THE HEARST MENACE

Since Hearst is shrewd enough to
see that he cannot continue to favor
Germany, now that this country is
at war with the Kaiser and his asso-
ciated rulers. the publisher is doing
his best to make trouble in the United
States by trying to cause friction be-
tween this country and Great Britain.
Hearst is a dangerous man. His
papers pursue a cours that is dis
loyal in many ways. And 1t Is not at
all probable that his editors are to
blame for this policy. 1t is too uni
form in New York, Chicago, San
Francisco and Los Angeles. He is
back of it, himself. And how long
is the Government going to stand it :?
He is doing more harm to the cause
of America In a day than can be IN
done by brigades of soldiers and
squadrons of ships. If Hearst can
not be square with the people and
patriotic, the Government must stop
him. The administration must see
that he is not allowed to make more
mischief within the country or outside
of it.
We have dangerous enemies in our
country no doubt, spies. traitors. de-
generates. but that Is to be expected
in war. What we ought not to have
to guard against is the peril from
such enemies to our institutions as
men who will not lay aside their mis-
chievous policies and who cunningly
spread dissensien and disloyalty I'M
der the guise of political discussions,
To-day a mar is an American or he
is not. He is against Germany or he
is for Germany. Which is Hearst ?
