Premier Lvoff Issued An Explanation Regarding May Day Peace Note
 Which Accepted
THREATENED TO RESIGN
Government Officials in Past To Quit Before They Would Modify
 Note to Allies.

PETRoGRAD, May 5.-The Duma of the Provisional government Of Russia has peacefully put down the revolt of the Council of Workmen and Soldiers, the delegates accept ing the explanation made of the May Day proclamation issued to the world that Russia would not agree to a separate peace but would continue fighting for the suppression of Prus. sianism.
 Premier lvoff early in the day is- ment officials would resign rather than modify the May Day note. In his speech which followed the Prem ter said:
 "it is impossible to send another, note. The temporary government will comply with it's duty and leave it's post rather than take such a step which would menace the country with very serious consequences. The government recognizes fully the re- sponsibility it has assumed in behalf of the country and in view of that responsibility, is ready to resign if it becomes necessary"
 Foreign Secretary MiIukoff cor firfnins the stand taken by Premier Lvoff said: "The note expressed the view of the temporary govern fnent. 1t has no other aim. The re- cent note repeats and develops the idea expressed in the first note which was worked out in conjunction with the Council of Deputies. The events of yesterday will make the Allies very sad, while pleasing to our enemies"
 TALKS TO DiSTURBERS
 Yesterday when MiIukoff saw the banners of the soldiers and workmen who were rIoting in front of the pal ace, with the words inscribed upon them of Down with Milukoff" bold iy went out on the balcony of the palace and addressed the demonstra- tors, saying he was fearful, not of Miiukoff but for Russia.
 tf the inscription interpreted the feelings of the majority of citizens he asked what must be the condi- ton of Russia. "The Allies will say" continued the Premier, "that Rus sia betrayed her allies anc had struck her name from the lost of allied powers. The provisional gov ernment cannot accept that view of things. 1 declare the provisional government and myself, as minister Of foreign affairs, will defend the position in which no one win dare to charge Russia with treason. New CT shall Russia consent to separate peace"
 MUST UPHOLD DIGNITY
 Minister Milukof closing, said: "The provisional government is a sailing vessel which can only move with the help of the wind. We look then for your trust which is the wind that is to make our ship go forward. hope you will supply us with that breeze and that your con- fidence will aid us in propeiling Rus sia towards liberty and prosperity and in uphoIding the dignity of our great free country"

been summoned by his slocal board

been summoned by his local board.
 The government has distribu- ted to all local boards sets of blanks to cover appeals, trans fers and any other matters in connection with the process.
 Industrial Exemptions.
 The regulations provide that no man can come up for exami- nation before either local or superior boa rds until he is sum- moned by military duty.
 Probably the point in the whole process which has led to the greatest misunderstanding is the system by which industri- al exemption is to be granted. Many persons have regarded It as certain that men in munitions making or other strictly war in- dustries would be exempted as a class. This IS not true. What is to govern the process is the im- portance of the individual in such an industry. If another man could take his place without interfering with the working of the plant he will not be granted military exemption.
 To make this policy effective, the superior and not the local boards were assigned to the task of saying whether a man should be retained at his desk or his bench.
 The bulk of exemptions will be for physical unftness and on ac- count of dependents and consid- eration of these causes will keep the lacal boards fully occupied, leaving to the more deliDerative superior boards the handling of the much more vexing questions of industrial exemption.

One of Our Most Popular Young
 Ladies at the Marriage Altar Of earthly gods, the best is good wife; A bad, the bitterest curse of human life.
 -Simonides.
 On Wednesday last, at 9 0 clock at the Presbyterian church of this city occurred the marriage of Miss Ethel Bailey to Mir. A. C. Williams, Rev. J. c. Williams of- ticiated. The bride is one of our choicest young ladies. From little girl she has grown up in our midst, honored by old and young alike. She has ever been a bright star in the home circle and now she has gone to reign as queen in her own home. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. II. Bailey of this city and granddaughter to A. MOnsOn, one of our most distinguished citizens.
 The groom is a splendid busi- ness young man. having been connected with the Hesterly Drug Store for some time as Pharmacist. He has made many friends here.
 This happy couple will spend a while in Winfield, La, the home of the Groom, after which they will return to Prescott to make their future home.
 The Picayune joins their many friends in wishing for them a happy and prosperous life.

RECISTRANTS MUST
 LEARN REGULATIONS
DRAFT MAY BE SATURDAY
Government Officials are Anxious to Eliminate Misunderstand- ing and Confusion as
 Much as Possible.

Washington, July 16. With drawing of lots for the selective draft army, awaiting only com pletion of exemption machinery in few scattered sections of the country, officials are anxious that registrants inform them- selves as to exemption regula- tlons so as to reduce the confu- sion to be cleared up after desig- nations are made.
 So that easier access may be had to the lists of registration numbers in the hands of local boards, Provost Marshal Gener- al Crowder telegraphed gover- nors asking that instead of post ing the lists at the board offices they be placed Tin some cafe. central office, such as police head quarters.
 Draft May Be Saturday.
 Only II states tonight had not reported their organizations com pletely. When the governors of the missing states telegraph that all the boards in their jurisdiction have filed their lists, the draw ing date will be set. Officials believe it will not be earlier than Saturday.
 Officials here are anxious that local boards make it clear that no question of exemption of any registered man for any cause ex- cept physical disability or de pendent relatives can be taken up before the local boards. In, dustrial exemptions are left to the superior boards, one of which has been created in each federal judicial district.
 No case where exemption is desired because man is engaged in an industry classified as vital to the conduct of the war will be taken up until that individual has been called up for examina- ton in his district ''and found to be without dependents and phys ically fit for military duty al d certified to the superior board. After that. applications to the superior board for exemption on other grounds will be admiss- able. The registrant or his tm- ployer may file affidavits with the superior board seeking ex- emption and the case will be heard promptly.
 Rules for Absentees.
 Another point on which there has been much doubt is the ta- us of registrants absent from their registration districts. Scores of requests have come from men asking if they will have to return to their home towns for examination. They have been informed that if they are selected for examination, each will be notified by mail by his local board and then can ap- ply to the local board for per- mission to undergo examination in the town where he is located. Such action cannot be taken. however. until the registrant has
