agencies at their command as may
bring semblance of order out OF

debate on the measures presented IN

This opinion clearly and adequately
expresses the intent of the law in this
regard.
Heart Of New Rules.
Now comes the most explicit part OF
the bulletin. II was pointed out by
Provost Marshal Gen Crowder as the
heart of the new rules.
II says:
"3 paragraph B, compiled rulings of
this office number six addressed n state
I of affairs, where the parents or other
relatives of the wife or husband are
able ready and willing adequately to
support the wife and children if any,
during the absence of the husband. This
ruling was responsive TO a class of cases
that had been brought to the attention
of this Office where claims of discharge
had been made The ruling directed the
attention of local boards to the fact that
scrutiny of cases of this kind might dis
close that no discharge was advisable.
1T was not intended that paragraph
! b., of the compiled rulings should apply
to the case of the head family whose
family at the time of his summons and
prior to, were and had been mainly de

exempt Married MEN
VIEW OF PRESIDENT
Tells Secretary Baker He
Feels Bachelors Should
Go First
NOT THROW WOMEN
ON OWN RESOURCES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-President
Wilson has ruled that wives of men Sc
lected in the draft should not, because
they had employment before marriage be
thrown upon their own resources or
upon the charity of their own or their
husbands parents for support.
He ordered that all men upon whose
labors their wives or children depend en-
tirely for support, should be exempted.
His action was taken in response to pro-
tests against the Interpretation placed
upon the draft law by the provost mar
shal generals Office, that woman
whose parents or whose husbands par
cnts were able and willing to support
her and her children or who was quail
fed TO gain her own support should be
thrown upon those resources and her
husband sent to war.
The Presidents orders were contained
in letter to Secretary of War Baker.
Immediately upon their receipt the sec
retary got in touch with Provost Mar
shal General Crowder, and two confer
ences followed After the second Gen
cral Crowder issued the following bul.
letin TO local boards
IA feeling has been expressed that
in passing ON applications for discharge
on the ground of dependents, local
boards ought in no case to refuse dis
charge TO a married man or to the head
of family. The law under which local
boards act, requires that before such a
discharge can be granted, dependency as
we'll as relationship must be establish
cd. The matter having been presented
to the President the following are his
orders thereon:
"X-.We ought as far a. is practicable
to raise this new national army without
creating the hardships necessarily entail
| ed when the head of family is taken
and / hope that for the most part those
accepted will not be found to be men
who had assumed such relations.
"N-The regulations promulgated on
June 30, 1917. should be regarded as con.
trolling these cases, and orders issued
under that regulation directing exemp.
tion boards to establish the fact of de-
pendents in addition to the fact of mar.
riagc ought not to be abrogated.
"2-The attention of this office has
been invited to the fact that in a few
instances local boards have certified Ia

vice, men whose families are actually
depdhdent upon them for support on tho
theory that the wife is able to work and
should be put to the necessity of going

This situation is addressed in the fol
lowing opinion of the District Board OF
New York city in which opinion this
Office concurs with the understanding
that the phrase support available from

Uncle Harry and the children held
their Current Events Glass on the porch
as the evening was hot. When they
were comfortably seated the question
came up as to the subject Of discus
sion. The letter from The pope had
recently been published In the papers

their minds.

"The Kaiser promised President VIII
