WAR DEPT. PUTS BAN ON
U. S. A. OFFICERS SWORDS
SY GEORGE MARTIN.
CUnited Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Aug 27-The ira
ditional sword will not clank at the
heels Of American army officers in
France. This is the first time in Amer
lean history the officers sword has
been abandoned IN battle.
The French and British banned
swords for their officers during the
first year Of the war America. now in.
follows suit by official order OF the
war department. The reason is simple
and sufficient. During the first year of
the war French and British officers
were easily distinguishable from their
men by the swords, uniforms and in
sigma and the Boche sharpshooters. con-
centrated their fire On them with deadly
effect.
The idea ever since has beer 70 made

cannot be seen farther away than the

THE POLITICAL
WORLD
IN INDIANA
FROM TRE TEES Own me-
AM&poH0 Bureau.
TILES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL,

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 25.-Married
men have found a friend in the Third
district appeal board. sitting in this
city for the board has granted exemp-
tions to a large number of married men
who were refused by the district local
boards. The appeal board also has an
nounced a policy that ought to tickle
the married men of the district
In the first place, the board has de-
cided that in a case where a wife would
be compelled 10 work and where she
would be thrown on her own resources
to make living in case her husband
was taken for the army the man should
be exempted. The board says that where
the wife has an income or where she
has relatives able and willing to sup
port her during the absence of her hus-
band no exemption should be granted.
but that II IS not the intention of the
law 70 compel wives to go TO work for
their own living in order that their hus-
bands may go to war
Many local boards in the district Of
which Marion is one Of the twenty-five
counties have been refusing exemption
TO married men whose wives were able
to make their own living. These boards
will probably be obliged to call addition
al men for examination. because they
viii have to fill the places made vacant
by the action OF the appeal board in
reversing the decisions Of the local
boards. One local board in this city
has planned to grant something like
forty exemptions that it refused at first.
on account Of this ruling Of the appeal
board.
The appeal board has also decided
that a married woman cannot live on
the $40 or S25 a month that her hus-
band might be able to send her out Of
his pay of $50 a month as a soldier
Many local boards refused exemption
to some married men because the boards
said they could send $50 to S25 a month
to their wives. which would be enough
70 support them.
When this question came before the
appeal board the members submitted to
eight women stenographers in the
boards office the question Of whether
a woman could live on s25 a month The
stenographers decided that she could
not, and the board accepted their verdict
One stenographer said a woman could
exist on SIS a month but that she could
not live.
