Third DISTRICT
BOARD DECIDES
so MORE CASES
Few Exemptions Allowed
Bridgeporters Although
Many Claims Are Made.

More than so cases were passed
upon at yesterdays sessfca of the
Third district beafe ans thes ous-
standing feature of the days meeting
was the diminishing percentage Of ex-
emption claims allowed. One tenn
porary and 15 conditional discharges
were allowed and five absolute dis
charges were granted. OF the latter,
one man is already in service; two
were discharged because Of depend
ents and two on account of their
physical condition. The denials for
yesterday include many Bridgeporters
who sought exemption because of
their employment and discharges on
either physical grounds or because of
dependents.
The board has now easily disposed
Of enough claims to allow all Of the
divisions within it's jurisdiction to
send the required number of men to
the cantenments on Sept. 10. In
Guiding those who went today, 5 per
cent. of the men have been sent and
the second call for Sept. 19, unless
changed will call for 40 per more.
The board is thus far ahead Of the
local divisions and by the program
of three weekly meetings will be able
to keep the work up to date. At the
latter end of the work it will be slow
ed up because of the necessity of get
ting men only properly within the
first quota. Warnings were issued by
the provost marshal general as late
as yesterday not to get men out OF
their proper place and not to accept
any who did not surely belong within
the first quota. This means that there
will be no volunteering in the Ma,
tiona1 Army, but is not taken to mean
that men enlisting in the regular
army or desiring to enlist in filled ul
National Guard units may not be as

To insure quick communication
with his family, the recruit is advised
to provide himself with post cards or
stamped envelopes.
Before reporting to the local board
the hair should be cut short, the body
thoroughly bathed and clean under
wear put on. The finger and toe nails
should be cut short.
Every effort will be made to pre-
serve the health Of recruits at the
points of mobilization, and to build
up their physique. The government
undertakes to look after the physical
we11-being Of the recruit in every pos
sib1e way and carries out the work
by military methods.
There will be issued at each can
tonment certain sanitary orders in
tended to prevent the development
and spread Of disease. It is of the
highest Importance that every recruit
from the outset should implicitly
obey these orders, which are for the
protection of his own health and the
health of his comrades He will
soon learn that all are based on prac-
tical experience and that observance
of each detail is necessary in order
to maintain healthful conditions
among large bodies of men.

his thanks to Gen. Januschkevitch for
having revoked the mobilization order.
The foregoing dispatch gives the
first intimatfon from a Russian source
in regard to the testimony that the
German chancellor, Dr. Michaelis.
said earlier in the week establishe ed
irrefuta bly," that it was the military
party around the Russian emperor,
and not Germany, which chose the
time for the war. The chancellor said
that II the American government had
had knowledge Of this testimony its
judgment as to responsibility for the
war, as expressed in the president s
reply to the pope, would have been
quite different.
The principal point made by DR..
Michaelis was that the Russian en-
peror, convinced at length of the
German enperor's desire for peace,
ordered cancellation of the moziIiza-
ton order, but that "a couple of Grim
inals" disregarded the order and
thwarted its execution. No reference
was made by the chancellor to the
suppressed testimony which now is at
hand, indicating that the Russian sta fl
had learned the German mobilization
was in progress secretly, and that
when this fact had been esta blish ed

Copenhagen, Sept. S.-lWith the ar
rival here of Russian newspapers
some light is thrown on the campaign
that the German government has been
conducting on the strength Of testi-
mony brought but at the trial Of Gen.
SoukhomHnoff in Petrograd for high
treason. Accounts OF the trial publ
Hshed in the Noyoe Vremya Of Pet
rograd show that ine the attempt to
prove that Foussia was responsible for
the beginning the war the Germans
deliberately suppressed important
parts of testimony given by Gen. Ja-
nuschkevitch, former chief of the RaaS-
sian general staff.
In it's report of the trial the semi
official German news agency omitted
in its entirety passage regarding an
interview between Gen. Jana1schke-
Witch and the German military attache
in Petrograd. 1t appears from the
Novoe Vremya that Gen. Januschke-
witch testified precise reports had
been received that German rnobiliza-
ton already was in progress secretly
The Russian staff knew that this
could be done, under the German law
without formal proclamation, whereas
in Russia a. public manifesto from the
emperor was a necessary pre-requi-
site.
On the following day dispatch wa.
received from the Russians in Berlin
confirming the previous infornatio,

progress. The emperor then expressed

RUSSIAN RETREAT
SLOWING DOWN

Petrograd, Sept 8-The encourag-
ing feature of the Riga situation is
the seeming firmness OF the Russian
tenure which has seized Riga,s de-
tenders. The German pursuit ap-
pears to be slowing down and in mill
tary circles it is not expected that the
enemy win risk much further pene-
fraffon while Dvinsk remains uncon-
ouered. A more likely COURSE. 1t Is
argued, will be for the Germans to
entrench somewhere near the present
position northeast of Riga and await
the result of the Dvinsk operations.
According to information the spirit
of the troops in the Dvinsk sector is
much more favorable than on other
fronts. Col. Podjoursky, a member

Rabbi Jacob D. sapir, who has
been visiting relatives in this city, the
last two weeks, coming here from OF
tawa, Canada, slipped on the wet
pavement while crossing Fairfield
avenue and Water street and before
he could recover his balance was
knocked down and his left leg broken
by an automobile.
The rabbi had come from the shop
of Max Cohen in Bank street. With
an umbrella over his head his vision
was obscured to an extent which pre-
vented he noticing the approach of an
automobile driven by Leonard G..
Fogg, 682 Howard avenue.
AS Sapir stepped from the sidewalk
into the street he slipped and foun-
dered trying to prevent himself from
falling. The automobile was pro-
ceeding at slow rate but could not
be stopped in time, ON the slippery
road, to prevent striking Sapir.

the accident absolved the driver from
blame and the, injured rabbi was
taken to St. Vincent's hospital by DR..
