There is ever indication today that
it will 5e at least month and
probably six weeks before every
local district has been assigned its
quota. This work which Is under
the supervision of the governors Of
the several states Is most complex
and involved.
one Of the problems which Will
arise will be the matter OF determ-
lining the populations Of the eXemp-
ton districts In large cities the
exemption districts are not based
upon ward or precinct divisions en-
tirely and this will involve a jug
Cling OF census figures and a sitting

district
Problem of Credits.
There also arises the serious qTes-
ton OF determining the credits TO
which each exemption district is
entitled This work Will mean that
the war department will have 20
prepare long lists Of men enlisted in

Mar army since April s. These en-
lstments will then have TO be ar
ranged according 10 residence and
finally divided according TO the eN-
emption districts. This work alone
will mean several weeks Of labor by
large stats OF clerks.
When the quotas are finally de-
fermined then wiz come the work
OF allowing exemptions and dis
charges. Care and fairness have
been made the watchwords for eN-

there will be no hasty hearings OF
claims. and that every claim must
be substantiated. When atfidavits
are presented with claims for eN-

entail considerable time

The final delay will come in the

beat the kaiser to it in creating some

must believe that the kaiser's method
of warfare is such as to create in

love in the heart of relatives of the
unfortunate victims. Torpedoing a

mercy that encourages devotion to the
perpetrators. Ravaging a weak, con-
quored country must create intense
