Some Will "Study for Ministry" II
Government Let's Them
Escape Their Duty.

Washington, July 19.-Seekers Of ex-
emption from service in the new Ma
tiesp9t army are flooding into Washing
| ton with the draft but short while
distant
congressman and public officials are
besieged by men who desire to escape
service under the selective draft, and
by relatives who have sons and broth
ers they do not wish to go to war. A
mistaken idea that exemptions can be
gained through influence" in Wash
ington has sent hundreds to the ma
tional capital, only to be sent back
to their local district boards with their
pleas.
The national government has moth
ing to do with exemptions, and will
have nothing to do with them for
some time, until appeals are finally
brought to President Wilson. Until
that time the matter Of exemptions
rests. entirely in the hands of the local
boards.
Pleas of all kinds have been brought
toNthe attention of the judge advocates
in the Office of Provost Marshal Cen
era1 Crowder. Youths who 'intend"
studying for the ministry have sought
exemption under the plea that even
though they are not now divinity stu
dents they expect to come under that
class.
One aged gentleman journeyed from
the South to get his fine, Industrious
boy'' an exemption and fix it SO the
worthless son" of neighbOr would
be sent Hundreds Of these personal
pleas have come to Washington and
serve to indicate how huge and trying
a task the local exemption boards will
face.
War department surgeons claimed
that Americas national army will be
the most physically fit body Of men
this nationthas ever put in the field off
battle.
President Wilson has ruled that the
army surgeons shall have the last say
on the physical fitness of drafted
man, and these surgeons are preparing
to Gull the misf1ts carefully.
Constitutional disability is practi- (
cally the only avenue of rejection, ac-
cording to the army surgeons. Failure
to meet the standards of height and
weight will be waived except In those
cases where the discrepancy amounts
to abnormality.
