Let No C1n.. DC Exempt.

To the Editor OF The Times Dis patch:
Sir,-Who will be exempt? Why
should any one be? Are there not hun
dreds who are not subject TO draft but
who can MI any position as well or
probably better than can? Why
should any class Of men he exempt?
This is. in my opinion. the hinge which
will make trouble.
The exemption OF tho thousands. and
thousands OF young men OF military
age who arc now occupying easy Jobs
In the ar-profit-swolien munttion
works can be counted on to start some-
thing. There is certainly no reason
why they should be allowed to escape
a service that other young men who
are engaged in vocations far more vital
10 our country and just as essential to
our allies as making powder nargely
a machine made producD cannot es-
cape.
The ruling Of the exemption boards
as regards those claiming exemption
because they are employed by some
corporation which is garnishinG war
profits. will he closely checked. They
can certainly not claim them to be
indispensable. Their jobs can all be
filled in forty-eight hours by exempt
men who can do the work just as we'll
or better.
Besides, Indispensable men draw sal
aries that run into many thousands.
not 5000 and s300 per month. If there
liz one single indispensable man en-
ployed by any corporation In this state,
ne is shamefully undergrad.
