The evolution Of degeneration in

Washington, Sept. 12.-More than
10000 claims for exemption on the
ground that the. claimant Is indispens-
able to war industry appealed to the
president, the final Judge of such
cases, were on file today at the office
of Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Preliminary examination is being
made by General Crowder on whose
final recommendation the president
probably will act. The general laid
emphasis today on tie fact that only
Industrial. exemption claims may be
appealed to the president from district
boards and that personal hearings be-
fore the authorities acting for the
president will not be given. Evidences
will be limited to that already pre-
scented to district boards and it will
avail claimants nothing to employ
attorneys or otler agents to repre-
sent their splaa.
Pending the final decision by the
president the mem clsiming Industrial
exemption are subject to military duty.
altho In many cases district boards
have granted temporary discharges
or have recommended to local boards
that such men be included in the last
quota sent to camp.
