l Tn order to obtain the 1901 men, Rhode Islands quota for the first draft, | it is quite probable that more than 1 two and one-half times the quota will | be called for examinat ton in the 21 | districts in the state. This is due to
 the unexpected high percentage of | probable exemptions which will be
 claimed by aliens. It was at first be- lieved that the full quota could be
 obtained from the additional 150 per | cent, but in most districts there are so many men applying already for | blanks to claim exemption that in 10 wards in Providence 1t is doubtful II l even 25O per cent. will be sufficient.
 Supplementary lists will be prepared | at once to be sent to the several 1 boards so that there may be no delay | in completing the quotas. The most common ground upon which exemption i or discharge will be asked is a1ienage | and dependency. Many peculiar cases have arisen and many claims have | been made on extremely thin ice. In view of this anticipated rush for safety, no matter what the excuse, the 1 provost marshal has made clear that no matter what the excuse, the rules as prescribed will be- followed to the letter, and DO influence wili be allowed to interfere with the equitable consid
 eration and granting of immunity to service.
 FuIIy two EundFe0 westerly young
 men have enlisted in the United States.
 naval reserve service, and under the
 belief that they would not be called
 upon to go abroad or to naval bases,
 but that their duty would be confined
 to patrol service along the coast. This
 condition is now changed, as set forth
 in the order from the navy department
 which reads: "AlI men in class who
 have not already volunteered for gen
 eral service under class 2, must do so
 pdi iaf folU 1r a 6lSrhArgPd
 back to private life"
 In compliance with this order, these young men will be obliged to express
 their willingness to be sent wherever
 the navy department directs or be
 dropped and thereby become subject
 to military duty under the draft. The latest to enter the naval reserve force have first volunteered for general ser vice. More men are now in the naval reserve force than required, and those who do not desire to give unqualified
 service will be promptly discharged. Many of the young men have already
 volunteered for general service and have been sent to naval stations. The only class not being sent away from the patrol service are mechanics and machinists employed in the repair shops.
 The three large adjoining estates in
 Elm street owned by Edwin M. Dodge, George A. Champlin and Clifford w. Campbell might be designated as Bat tery Row and for these reasons: In batteries of light artillery to the front, and now several batteries are mobilized for Liberalization.

 When Battery c left Providence re- gently for training camp one of the companies was commanded by Donald BabCock, whose grandfather. Edwin 'Babcock, owned the place now the property of Clifford W.

As three battery comp3anders resided in these three adjoining houses caused the l suggestion of the designation of Bat tery Row.
