Barracks Well Ventilated.

Camp Mcclellan has been built On the
approach to Blue MOUNTAIN. The bar
racks are well ventilated, carefully
screened and provided with all possible
conveniences. Shower baths are erected
near each barracks. Excellent drill and
maneuver fields surround the encamp-
ment with surprising advantages for
machine gun and artillery practice
against the mountains. Camp McCIel-
Ian is laid out with company streets
twenty-five feet wide and cinder paths.
The water supply for the camp is the
same as that which has made the city
of Admission famous as a winter re-
sort for northerners and a summer re-
sort for southerners. 1t is drawn from
Coldwater spring, which has a flow suf-
ficient to provide generously for a city
of 100000 population.
The city is blessed with natural drain
age which has been supplemented by a
a remarkable system of underground
sewerage, which has contributed to CIV
ing it the best health record of any
southern city.
Admission is city of churches and
the District men can attend religious
worship at the church of their own de-
nomination. There are thirty churches
One of these cost s125.000 and another
$50, 900. If Washington friends and
relatives wish to visit any of the men
while they are in Camp Mcclellan they
can find comfortable accommodation al
several excellent hotels.

Caverns Near the Camp.

There are wonderful caverns five
miles from town and even nearer to
the camp site to be explored There is
mountain climbing, with Pulpit rock, AT
an elevation Of 2.40G feet as goal,
which is an alluring view from the main
street OF the city. When the soldiers
get leave for a. sufficient period they
will be within easy visiting distance of
some Of the largest cities of the south
Birmingham is sixty-three miles from
Admission; Atlanta, 104 miles; Mont
gomery, 1i6, and Chattanooga 142
Although they have been looking for
ward TO oppressive atmosphere in this
southern cantonment the District of CO.
lumbia soldiers will be agreeably sur
prisec to find their camp made comfort
able by mountain breezes. The temper
allure in midwinter sometimes falls as
low as 20 degrees and during the sum-
mer rarely passes so degrees. There is
no such thing as heat prostrations. The
surrounding mountains give pure air
and bring restful nights.

Knotty Problems Are Arising.

Government officials generally are be-
ginning to take up the individual ques-
tons that arise where government en-
pioyes are called for service. Secretary
Daniels said that knotty problems were
arising in the Navy Department as to
what individuals in the clerical force,
navy draughtsmen or skilled workers
at the navy yards are absolutely in

Gen. Crowder has suggested to the
governors that each assemble the full
membership of all district boards in
his staff for general conference to
insure uniform proceedings regarding
appeals. The governors were asked also
to appoint an official in each local dis
trict to file appeals. County attorneys
were suggested.

ton by the enemy governments it was
not sufficient to oppose a mere policy
Of denial; a policy Of active defensive

1t is abont n twenty-five hour rail-
road ride from Washington to Annis-

Southern railroad running from Wash

is likely that the District troops will

water and exercise the horses.

RULING AS TO DEPENDENTS

Only the employees in the postal service
who are recognized as specialists in their
work will be able to obtain affidavits
FROM their chiefs seeking their release
from service with the National Army. This
was made known by the Post Office De-
partment. which has just sent out to post
masters instructions covering the matter.
The latter were informed that they must
not ask for exemption of carriers or labor
ers or for clerks in second-class offices
below the 81 900 grade, clerks-in -first-class
offices below the S1,100 grade or any
above these grades, unless they are quail
fed distributors of mail.
The ruling is the first formal action by
an executive department in compliance
with President Wilson's order directing
that department officials indicate eXemp-
tons and that the requirement Of indis-
pensablity be rigidly enforced. AS gener-
the purpose of the administration to make
the government departments leaders in
freeing valuable employees for war service.

Provost Marsha Gen. Growder has
taken steps to reduce the number of
exemptions because Of dependent fam
lilies. Instructions were sent to the
governors of all states pointing out
that the minimum pay of soldiers is
now $50 a month. and that local boards
must consider whether a mans depend
ants could not be supported on that
amount. The telegram follows:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-08-04
Bulk of Pay Is Free.

please call attention of local boards
to the fact that a soldiers pay is not
less than $50 month and that all
clothing, subsistence. medical treat
ment and housing are furnished him.
Under the law he may allot any por-
ton of his pay to a dependent. Many
soldiers receiving $50 month are
easily able to allot s25 monthly to the
support of dependents. In Iase Of
death in line of duty the government
will pay to the beneficiary designated
by the soldier six months pay.
Section four of the seIective service
act provides that those in status with
respect to persons dependent upon them
for support which renders their ex-
clusion or discharge advisable may be
discharged. but it done not require that
they shall be discharged in all such
cases. The discretion Of local boards

boards may well take the facts recited
above into consideration in declining

SAVE THE WASTE!

Tn England, as is well known. the num-
Der of courses in a meal is restricted by law.
Waste is severely punished; there are
special garbage can inspectors to see to
the enforcement OF the law In America an
organization q society women, headed by
Mrs Woodrow Wilson and the wives Of
cabinet officials, has been formed to limit
entertaining and the number Of courses to
a meal, and Save the Waste and Win the
War, is fast becoming a national slogan.
Sunday, July l, will be known as Food
Saving Day. Ministers have been addressed
by Mr.. Hoover with the request that they
devote their sermons, on that date, to the
problem which is the key to success in our
great emprise. The press, too, has been
invoked, and it in turn is passing the appeal
to the people at large. Civic, fraternaL
patriotic and other organizations are asked
in particular to devote their endeavors in
the same direction
Then there will be A national registration

Eighty-Second Day of America in the
War.
AMERICAS ANSWER.

Nine million seven hundred thousand
men registered for selective draft Accord
ing to an estimate based on the last census,
ten million were expected. But the differ
enCe is more than compensated by the half
million men who have enlisted since the
United States entered the war, and explain
why, despite the agitation Of a certain ele-
merit, there were so few slackers.
German editors and statesmen declare
that both our registration and our Liberty
Loan were failures; that results by the for
mer prove our people are opposed to var,
and that the latter was two billion dollars
short. The amount called for, they assert,
was five billion dollars, not tw Five billion
are authorized but as everybody knows,
the initial subscription was for only two,
and the billion dollar subscription is
being returned. Later in the year the other
three billion will be called for, and over
subscribed. German leaders, of course,
know this as we'll as we do; that they stOop
to such misrepresentation suggests desper-
alton for something to keep the people S
courage up. How far do thev believe their
own prediction of a German victory before
the United States can make its might felt ?
The truth Of the matter is that Americans
are heart and soul in the war. Registration,
the Liberty Loan, and the Red Cross sub
scription are as searching referendi as could
be devised. What little opposition has been
encountered is practically confined to the
element that is as bitter against the United
States for its peace as its war methods.
America, though it is not yet fully
awake, has a better understanding of the
problem than England did eighty-tWO days
after her entrance into the war
