Aug. 2.-Fiv, hundred skilled workmen
are haminering Camp Fremont towards
completion today.
Work started with about 100 men.
During the day there~was a procession
of automobiles down the peninsula with
more men aud every train brought 9th
ers. As the men arrived they were put
to work, even if there was but half
hour 3 time left, so insistent in the de.
mand for early completion of the
camp.
Because no common laborers were av-
ailable, carpenters getting union wages
unloaded lumber from cars and did

WIN Fight Exemntons.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The govern
ment is preparing TO- fight claims fol
#, exemptions from the draft.
! Concerned at the great humber o.
tthose attempting to avoid service, th,
provost marshal general 'se office today
announced that exemptions in agricul
ture and other industries will be care
fully scutinized.
As direct slap at marriage slack
orsn - the government will automatically
appeal from every exemption on the
ground of dependency.
The purpose of the appeal is to obtain
nationwide uniformity in exempting
rulings, which is regarded as otherwise
impossible from 1867 boards.
All registrants are invited by Cen
eral Crowder to report any improper
exemptions.
Discussing industrial exemptions,
General Crowder said district boards
were "powerless to relieve cases in
which private loss and hardship rather
than national necessity" are at
stake.
The Rule to Judge by.
"Otherwise, another man would be

Crowder.
The problem of exempting men in
agricultural and other industries, Cen
eral Crowder said, must be solved
fwith success Of the nations military
operations in mind as the dominant
object"
AS conservation of certain industries
is necessary to military success, Crow
der declared, the question in an indi-
yidual case then becomes two fold.

The agent there talked with Cover nor Osuna and General Caesar Lopez de Lara. They are quoted as saying that public opinion is beginning to turn against Ger many and the alleged activities of Germans in Mexico.

grain of the Northwest will be needed for the army both here and in Europe. and even if there was a surplus for the South, the demands upon the railroads are likely to be such that they could not bring 1t to us. Therefore, we must feed ourselves. If we do this and grow a surplus of food crops, We will get enor- nous prices for 1t, just as we are getting big prices for all the food We can spare now. If we do not grow our own food we will likely do without it. The whole world is hungry. They need and must have food, while they can do without cotton. If We grow big food crops and have a surplus to sell, the South will be the richest country on earth. If We grow only cotton. we will not only get nothing for it, but suffer besides. The call in the present war is to the farmers to feed the world, and in this way. not only stand by his country in the present crisis, but grow rich besides. Let the people of the South make no mistake. This war is no child's play. The whole civilized world is involved and must be fed.

Raise Food and Prosper;

At a meeting of the business men held yesterday morning. a report was made by those who attended the Preparedness Meet ling at Little Rock where Assist ant Secretary of Agriculture, Vrooman, made the principal ad- dress. He called attention to the fact that the United States Tn the present emergency, not only had to feed it's own armies, but also to help feed the armies of ethe Allies in Europe, even if It had to take over tine surplus provisions in the United States and to take charge of the rail roads as well,
 The government is determined to win this war. Every man and woman who loves his or her country and who appreciates the blessings of liberty is called upon to help. Some must go to the army and fight and all must help sustain those who go the front. This can only be done by those who remain at home, conserving the food supply and thus stand ing by the government in the present emergency. President Wilson says the south can feed itself and grow a surplus for others and notifies us that this must be done or that the South will likely suffer. The surplus

VROOMAN WARNS DE CON-
 PULSORY RAISING OF FOOD

Tells Audience That People Must Feed Selves or May Not Be Fed.
 This country is going to have its work done. It is going to push it's war to a successful con cluslon. It is going to have uni versal training on it's farms and in it's factories. Now. the great. est assistance we can be to our allies over seas Is to finance them and to feed them. This we must do, and we must feed our. selves, if necessary. under con- pulsion. If you do not feed your self during the next year, you stand a good chance of not being fed. "
 South Must Raise Own Food.
 The problem of obtaining food is one of the greatest fac tors in the war;" Mir. Vrooman said. The nation that can feed it's population the longest will win in the war. The United States must not only feed her self, he said, but must assist the allies. The South will be forced to raise its own food, he said, to eliminate a drain on the resources of other nations caused by the South purchasing from a half billion to a billion dollars worth of food every year. If transpor- tation facilities are tied up with military traffic, he continued, the South will face starvation unless her producers raise more foodstuffs.
 He urged land owners to change their crops from cotton to food crops. and to require the same of their tenants, as a patri- otic duty to the nation.
 Any man who will permit his private financial interests to stand in the way of his duty in this great crisis, !" he said, lis ut terly unworthy to live under the American flag.
 During the next six months. he said, the farmers of the country will play a more impor- tant part in the war than the soldiers. He urged every citizen not only to do his own part, but to see chat land owners, bank CTS, business men, farmers and professional men co.operated in the agricultural preparedness movement. This uRited effort. he said, would give the nation a
