Crowder today ruled that marriage
Is not of itself a valid ground for
making claim for discharge"
Dependency is a matter OF fact, not
of law, Gen. Crowder pointed out.
"A man whose wife Is mainly de-
pendent on his daily labor for sup
port" he said, may claim exemption
on that ground. Only the exemption
boards can determine this fact.
Where dependency is claimed and
circumstances show a marriage has
tily consummated since July 20 by a
man whose number is high on the
available list the actual fact of de-
tendency must be closely seruti-
nized."
Moreover, Gen. Crowder declared

them to be slackers r liable to

Victory Over Methodist Club
Breaks Tie in City League;

The West End Athletic Club tossers
triumphed over the Methodist Club
Ave last night. in City Amateur
League game, and thereby broke the
tie between the two teams for third
position. The final score read So to II.
The contest was staged on the Tech-

followed a contest between the Y. M
II. A. quintet and the p. r. r. Arrows.
The latter team was victorious by
81 to 20 tally.
The scores of both games were
rather one-sided. but despite this fact
both were interesting. The West End
team started out to win right from
the start and when the first half
ended, led by % to IL score. The
Methodist five played listlessly, and
lack of teamwork was big factor In
it's defeat.
The Hebrew lads did not stand a
chance with the p. r. r. Arrows, the

President Indignant

President Wilson emphasized in an
informal talk before the Democratic
national committee here yesterday his
indignation over the success of a few
senator's in preventing passage of the
neutrality bill. rs
Secretary Lansing was called to the
White House to see the president Just
before the departure of the Senators.
Look For Action
The Senators agreed that the pros
poets were good for quick action. Sem
ator owen said he desired a rule under
which the Senate rules could be
changed by a majority vote. All of the
senator's agreed, however. they would
not hagEle over details IL a reasona BILE
cloture plan could be agreed upon.
The conference lasted an hour and
a half and all the details of the Senate
situation were gone over. The Presi-
dent told the Senator's he was anxious
for action as promptly as possible. He
said the country was deeply aroused
over the situation and that a few sena-
tors should not be allowed to interfere
with the welfare of the country.
Although Mr.. Wilson has been ad-
vised by some government experts that
he has the authority to arm ships with
out waiting for action by Congress,
others among his advisers believed it
would be the better policy to wait to
see whether the Senate will act.
