DRAFT TO HIT NEWLYWEDS
Boards Ordered to Halt Exemptions
in Some Cases-Men Who Fail to
Report to Be Taken Into Army.

Washington, Aug. AFTER confer
ring with Secretary of War Baker, Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowded sent
the following telegram on Thursday to
every governor in the country:
THE selective service law does not
require discharges in all cases of tech
meal legal dependency, but only per-
mits discharges where, in view of de-
tendency a discharge is advisable.
Local boards may well hold that a
marriage hastily contaminated recent
ly, and especially one contracted by a
person after he has been called to pre-
sent himself for examination to deter
mine his fitness for military service,
does not create a status of dependency
in which it is advisable to discharge
him."
This ruling, 1t was stated, at the
provost marshal generals Office, should
settle the status of the marriage slack
ers.
President Wilson issued a supple
mental order under the draft law
which provides that persons who fail
to report to local boards for examina-
ton shall be regarded as physically
fit and liable for military service.
