Can it be that the shadow of war IS
darkening the truth of the teachings
of Him. whom We especially remember
at this season of the year? | think

menace of war which now is moving
steadily in our direction is serving
only to drive from our minds any silly

Possible Entire Draft
Will Be Examined
AWAIT INSTRUCTIONS
FROM WASHINGTON

Members of the District (State)
Exemption Board returned to VIII
mington today after a trip to Kent and
Sussex county. The board has arrang.
ed another busy schedule for next
week. On Tuesday the members will
sit In this city from 1 TO 6 o'clock
in the afternoon and again at o'clock

Charles Warner, chairman Of the
District Board, stated this morning that
the board now has the states full quota
Of men ready to be called for army
duty, which fact was announced in
THE EVENING JOURNAL yesterday.
The board, he said, is now working on
scattered cases TO get the 10 per cent.
extra as soon as possible, so they Will
be sure Of having enough men to make
up the quota when called on.
The government, early this month,
wired the board as TO when they could
| furnish the entire quota. The reply
was that they would have the 1902 men
/ by October 1, and the board has more
than made good.
Mr.. Warner is Of the opinion that
by the time all cases, including those
of the first levy being examined this
week are cleaned up, the board will
have from 30 to 40 per cent. over the
quota This will put the State in the
poation of being able to furnish q
large body Of men on as hours notice
over the quota in case for any rea
son they should suddenly be needed
Mr.. Warner also stated that instruc
tions are being awaited from Wash
ington relative TO examining the entlr
\ draft. He said while there is som
objections in Congress to this pro
cedure vet Provost General Marsha
Crowder and other officials who ar
raising the new National Army thin
il the logical thing 10 do. He pOintel
out that those favoring the plan con
tend that it would be much easier &
60 ahead with the work now when al
hoard are familiar with the routine an
have a good working force with al
details at their finger ends, than
would be 10 stop for some time an
then possibly have 10 start in again.
During the course OF his cOnversatio
) this morning, Mr.. Warner stated ths
! the number Of criticisms Of tie wor
OF the board that have come to th
attention Of the members are small.
