New York, June 27.-How the Provi-

and spy with spy, how 1t had its man
in Bernstorff's own household and Its
two wireless stations listening In" on
the German Sayville Zine" to Berlin
how, In fact, this. one New England
newspaper for almost three years kept
the United States government informed
of the German-Austrian plots In Amer
lca-has at last been revealed. John
II. Rathom, in a speech made in To
ronto, and reported in the Editor and
Publisher from the Toronto Star,
weaves story Of plot and counter
plot.
THE Providence Journal" begins
the Editor and Publisher, hap
pened upon its course of exposure
through having had for three years
before the war what other papers de-
scribed as bug on wireless teleg-
raphy. The paper had maintained two
powerful wireless plants at Point Ju-
dlth and at Block island.
"When war broke out they had de-
clded to listen in on the messages
crossing the Atlantic. For five months
they kept record of these messages,
and then they set out to find the codes
and make revelations. OF the mate
rial they, secured they used only frac-
tional part
zone Of the newspapers stenOgraph-
ers was sent and secured an appoint
ment In the Austrian consulate In New
York. Other of his workers were con-
stantly engaged in shadowing Captain
Boyd, Captain Won Papen. former
Austrian Ambassador Dumba, Ambas-
sador Bernstorff and other German
and Austrian officials.
1.-THE two wireless plants unceaslng-
ly listened in, two shifts of operators
at work day and night, on Sayville and
Nantucket, the two wireless stations
which were being used mostly by the
Germans to keep in touch with Berlin,
from where they received instructions
for every detail Of their plotting policy.
For the United States government
the Brooklyn navy yard had had IN
structions to keep a close watch on the
Sayville and Nantucket stations, but
nothing suspicious was ever reported
until Mr. Rathom took some of the
messages which he had received from
his operators to the state department.
It was then learned that the navy yard
operators had been In the pay Of Ger
man agents In America and had been
told not to hear too much.
1.-THE codes used by the Germans
were of the most ingenious nature.
Many of them pretended to be stock
quotations, and some were even done
up as funeral directions In some
cases, however, the codes showed evil
dence of the green blubber, referred
to by the speaker, as on one occasion
when Mr.. RathOm was able TO go to
President Wilson and show him copies
of eight separate messages sent by the
wireless plant within nine days, all re-
lating that little Emily had died of
such and such an Illness, In a certain
part of room, had been buried in n
certain cemetery beside such and such
a previously deceased relative. In
every one of these messages the III
ness, the part Of the room, the name of
the relative, the cemetery, and so on,
varied, and clear code was detected
In each of the messages.

WILSON NAMES
DRAFT BOARDS
FOR THE STATES
Exemption Regulations to Be An
nounced Soon.
WORK TO START NEXT WEEK
Report From the White House Says
That Men VIII Be Selected Not
Only for the Army but for All
other War Work.

Washington, June 27.-President
Wilson today appointed the local
boards named by the governors to
hear exemption claims on the first
draft, by which 100000 are to be Sc
lected for the army.
The rules governing exemptions
have not yet been issued, but will be
soon, so the work of selecting the
army may be begun next week.
In a great majority of the cases the
personnel Of the boards shows that
President Wilson followed the sugges-
tons of army officials that city and
county officials be utilized.
Boards Named by Governors.
The president however, had asked
the governors of the various states
to nominate candidates for the
boards, and it may be assumed that
the boards as announced have the
approval, not only of the president,
but of the state executives.
in New York city and Philadelphia
the boards have not yet been an
nounced.
The - states in which committees
are complete, with those exceptions,
are Washington, West Virginia, Utah,
Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mime
sofa, Nevada. Montana, Nebraska, New
Jersey New Mexico, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Colorado,
South Carolina. South Dakota, Texas,
Tennessee, Connecticut, Illinois, New
York and Pennsylvania.
Exemption regulations were whipped
into final shape at the cabinet meet
ing. President Wilson probably Will
promulgate them within the next 48
hours.
With few exceptions, the rules are
the same as contained In the draft
submitted to President Wilson by
Provost General Crowder. 1t is I'M
derstood the president eliminated GER
tain exemptions, believing every man
in the nation must do his share In the
war; whether on the battle front or
not, and work within the country on
war duties will be found for many I'M
flt physically to go into the trenches.
Will Draft for War Work.
Information emanating from the
White House during the last two days
indicates the draft Will be much heav-
Ter than has been suspected. Instead
of merely picking men for the army,
manu- tV{11 ka dro ftaI nthav ttya,,
work.
The grounds on which exemptions
will be made on the first draft follow !:
/. Physical incapacity, Including
which cannot be corrected by glasses,
tuberculosis and other chest diseases,
cancer, kidney or liver affections, vari~
cose veins, infectious blood diseases.
2. Employment in vital war indus
tries, including shlpbuildlng, munitions
making, work In gun and supply fac
tories, navy yards, oil fields, coal mines
and certain government duties. Even
tually women Will replace many Of
these men, who will be released for
army service.
3. Religious opposition. Only those
who were members of such faith be-
fore March 10 will be exempted.
4. Men the sole support of families.
The instructions to the exemption
boards include drastic provisions TO
prevent favoritlsm and evasion OF
service. The boards are expected to
begin work Immediately after receiv-
ing notice of appointment.
