From reading tho statement on the
back OF the certificate In red ink, hun
dreds Of men thought It was neces-
sary to appeal az once 10 the County
Clerk for exemption. The Offices OF
County Clerks in the five boroughs
were thronged with clamoring men,
who lost their time for nothing.
Briefly stated. every man between
eighteen and forty-fv Is '1iable TO
service in the militia" except few
public officials and others The men
who applied TO County Clerks were
told:
"You are not required TO claim ex-
emption unless you are drafted for
militia duty at some future time
You will then have a chance to be
heard by the proper authorities"
Every man should keep these facts
In mind;
The County Clerk can exempt only
those who are entitled TO exemption
under the law. This includes mariners
those engaged in the transportation
OF mails, custom house clerks, holders
OF judicial or executive office. men
employed in the armorieP. arsenal'
and navy yards. pilots and members
OF the military and naval forces OF the
country.
Those who are physically dlsquali-
ned. or think they are. and those who
have so many dependents that they
feel they cannot serve. cannot obtain
exemption from the County Clerk.
They must wait until called upon for
service, II called, and then explain e
the military authorities before whom
they may appear.

Cruger. the elghteen-year-old high

Gently turned up in Italy where he
professed to know nothing OF the
Cruger girl. Efforts are now being
made to bring him back TO this coun-

Mrs. Cocchi has been running the
business since her husband left. II
was reported to-day she had sold out.
The articles found were uncovered
about three feet below concrete
floor in tho coal hole directly under
