new RULING comes
T9 Local BOARDS

Hundreds Of married men in this city
and State, recently discharged from
army duty because Of their dependency
claims, are now facing the possibility
Of being called into the service, due TO
a new ruling called to the attention Of
the local and district draft boards. Gov
ernment aid for dependents, government
insurance on cOnscripts' lives and COM
pulsory attlotments Of part OF the SOL
dlers' pay for the benefit OF their de-
pendents. are features Of this new rul-
Ing which is expected TO greatly reduce
the number Of dependency exemptions
granted from now on.
In The light Of the new instructions
which have been issued by Provost
Marshal General Crowder through the
State military boards, the proverbial
gallop Of a camel through a needles eye
would be an easy feat, compared with
the job Of getting dependency exemp-
tions in the future. Not only are the
local and district boards TO tighten up
IN their Interpretation OF this phase OF
the draft regulations, but some OF them
believe the new ruling should be made
retroactive.
The Provost Marshars ruling Is based
on the Act of Congress approved on
October G. As applied to drafted men,
the effect Of that law, which provides
for family allowances. allotments, sep
aration compensation and insurance for
soldiers and sailors, Is TO remove the
necessity for granting exemptions "a
men with dependents by making pro-
vision for tho support Of the mans fam
fly while he IS in the service, and for
insurance i'm case Of his death.

JUDGE CRAY TO Be
Luncheon CHAIRMAN

The Government feels that the most
important factor in the successful
prosecution of the war with Germany
is the building of ships, without
which. in large numbers, It will be
impossible to transport men, NUM-
tions or food to the front. Upon the
success or failure OF the Govern
ment's ship-building program will
depend the success or failure OF the
army and navy. Washington says
the most important patriotic duty OF
every true American citizen undoubt-
edly is to encourage. In every man
ner possible. the development OF ship
building. Il is impossible to empha-
size this fact too much. These are
the declarations Of the War Shipping
Board at Washington.
Under the auspices Of the local war
shipping committee, Of which former
Federal Judge George Gray IS chair
man, a patriotic subscription luncheon
will be held I'm the Hotel dupont at
