any, during the absence of the hus-
band. This ruling was responsive tc
class of cases that had been
brought to the attention of this office
where claims OF discharge had been
made on the ground OF dependency
on a husband, who, as a matter OF
fact, was not dependent upon him
self. The ruling directed the atten-
ton of local boards to the fact that
security of cases of this kind might
disclose that no discharge was
advisable.
1T was not intended that para
graph B. of the compiled rulings
should apply to the case of the head
OF a family, whose family at the time
OF his summons and prior thereto,
were and had been mainly depend
ent upon his labor for support.
Instances in which local boards
have been in error in respect OF
these two classes of cases are rare.
It was to be expected that with some
4,500 local boards there would be
some un-uniformity of decision in
this regard. To provide against this
un-uniformity, section 27 of the
regulations provides for the auto
matte appeal of all dependency cases
to the district boards. District
boards should scan the decision of
local boards on questions of depend
ency and wherever it appears that
such decisions are illegal (as in the
two cases Just mentioned or other
wise,) or where these decisions seem
to be so far un-uniform as to result
in an unequal operation of the law,
the district board should reverse or
modify the decision of the local
board"
New Mobilization Orders.
In his message to governors re-
specting new mobilization orders,
General Crowder said in part:
THE congestion of traffic that will
be entailed in the early part of Sep
tember by the movement of the ma
tional guard into training camps
makes it inadvisable to attempt to
move any large percentage of the
national army on Sept. 5.
"The object of calling per cent
is to place in the camps enough men
to form skeleton organization to
assist in receiving and assimilating
the large contingents. For this rea-
son it is required that local boards
send only white men and so far as
pTdCIlCdDlS LIldL IuSy SSIlQ LII6u with
some military experience or cooks.
In making this selection order num-
bers are not controlling but great
care must be takenS not to send men
whose order of call is so late and
they will not be within the quota of
the boards. The careful selection of
these men will be of great assistance
to the orderly organization of the
national army and it is hoped that
local boards will act with this end
in view.
'In order that it may not be
necessary to make any special rail-
way arrangements and to prevent
congestion of normal railway traffic
local boards should be instructed to
send approximately per cent OF
their quotas on each of five success
sive days beginning Sept. 5. 1t is
thought that every board in the
country will have available at least
per cent of it's quota by Sept. 5
and therefore that it will not be
necessary for the adjutant general
of the state to call upon any board
for more or less than per cent"

in a Machiavellian manner. Later
events go TO prove this statement;
for is II not true that Germany has
encouraged her citizens 10 come 20

Looked TO Crush America.
THE Monroe Doctrine involves the
principle OF the rights and interests
of the United States in the western
hemisphere. Did Germany intend to
load down her alien citizenship on

Austrian assistance and the assist
ance of others allied with her to
crush American power in the west
ern hemisphere?

COKE COMES
FROM RESERVE
Manager Of Gas Company Ex-
plains Why Ii Has Fuel For
Relief of Present Crisis

Victor +. Dewey. vice-prBsident
and general manager OF the Detroit
City Gas company, replied Friday
to the announcement OF the United
Fuel a supply company's statement
that IL would take all the coke the
gas company had and distribute II
to consumers without profit. Alex.
Ealcomson. vice president OF the
United. In his announcement. said
that his company had been able TO
obtain only three wagon loads OF
coke a day from the gas company
He also said that the fact that the
gas company could offer the city
] 600 tons OF coke. placed his con
Germ In bad light. since il was
unable To al hundreds OF orders.
Mr. Dewey explained that the gas
company had decided TO put at the
disposal OF the mayor 900 tons OF
coke for the relief OF actual dis.
tress. but that this coke was taken
from the emergency supply that any
prudent concern would want 70
keep on hand He said the com
pany could not. under ordinary cir
cumstances. let this fuel go out 'oi
its reserve supply. and would not
permit IL 10 20 out for ordinary
mercantile requirements. but took
tho hazard OF running short OF fuel
itself simply because OF the dis
tress over the fuel shortage.
he also said that while the fuel
situation was improved somewhat
and he believed there was no Longer
any occasion for great alarm. no
felt that the gas supply was highly
important To the citizens of Detroit
and that the company was Justified
in keeping small reserve supply
which explains why this coke was
made available In extreme cases.
