Washington, ID. G., June IL. - The
march toward national prohibition, at
least for the period of the war, took an
other stride forward yesterday, when
two important committees of the SEN
ate acted favorably on "dry" measures.
By an overwhelming vote, the judi
cary committee voted a favorable re-
port on the Sheppard amendment, pro-
viding for nationwide prohibition. At
the same time the agriculture committee
began consideration of several measures
designed to restrict the manufacture of
liquor in the interest of the food con-
servation and agreed to report out a
measure of this character.
The vote stood as follows: For the

WHO IS EXEMPT
Step Taken to Form Boards
Under Consumption
Law
APPEAL is
PROVIDED FOR
President Indicates There
Will Be No Whole
sale Escapes

Washington, June l2-The first actua
step toward formation of boards which
will consider exemptions from service in
the new national armies obtained by
draft was taken yesterday, when a plan
for exemption of those physically unfit
was submitted to President Wilson by a
special board OF lawyers, jurists and mill
| tary authorities.
The plan provides for each local exemp.
ton board to have as one member ply
stefan who will give the first test. When
he rejects draft man the other members
must summon another physician, who
will make an examination, not knowing
the first physicians decision. If the de-
cisions are the same the man is declared
unfit.
The regular physician member of the
exemption board probably will be the
county or city surgeon. In cases of
doubt the board may summon several
doctors, one after another, to submit a.
diagnosis. The man that is rejected or
refused rejection may appeal to the APP
pellate court of the district for another
test.
President Wilson yesterday considered
the vital exemption regulations as sub
mitted by the special board. This body
has been working on the regulations for
weeks.
In a few days announcement of the
rules for the guidance OF exemption
boards will be given out.
Although it is definitely decided that
there will be no wholesale class exemp-
tons, most of the regulations are yet to
be settled upon.

The Red Cross is the official recognized

the present war il intends to eclipse even
its own splendid record, and there will be
