Twice that number will be summoned
to Salem. the county seat, because it is
expected that half will be exempted for
various reasons. If the thousands fail
to supply the quota for the fighting army
after the exemptions are made others
will be called in the order that the num-
Der opposite to their names was drawn.

Davis. Sheriff A. L. Fox and County
Clerk. Benjamin f. Harris, will pass on
the claims made to them within five
days. Powder workers will be largely
excluded but not necessarily all depart
ments. The large number of men en-
ployed at the powder mills is the cause
of the large number called from PENIS
Grove and Upper PENIS Neck. To ex-
clude them and require the quota with
out drawing on them will be grossly I'M
just to those engaged in ancillary occu-
p~ations.

industry; Arthur A. Quinn. Sewaren. la
Dor; DIR. Paul Macray Camden. physi-
clan; Adrian Lyon, Perth Amboy, law
yer.
The district board is the only one
which is authorized to receive claims
for exemption on the ground that the
men called for service an" engaged in
industry including agriculture, found to
be necessary for the maintenance of the
military establishment. tho effective op-
GRAFTON of the military forces. or the
maintenance of national interests dur
ing the emergency. The claim for ex-
nmption must be made in FEN days.
If the decision of the district board
Is in favor of the claim. a certificate of
discharge will be issued. Tf it is not al
lowed the department hoa~' will send q
notice to the applicant. The decisions
may he appealed to tho President, if
lone within seven DAYS of the district
boards decision.

port for training will come when the
Government is ready to receive the men.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS
OF CHARITY

The agonies and privations brought
upon Europe by the war are so terri
BILE in intensity and so widespread IN
extent as to make the ordinary agen-
cies Of relief dwindle into insignifi-
canoe. The religious and secular
charitable societies have been un-
equal to the task of providing for the
needs Of the poor at time when
whole nations and entire peoples are
plunged into the depths Of poverty,
and the state has taken the place of
the church and the private society
as the great almoner. Nevertheless
the numerous charitable organizations
religious and secular, have risen
nobly to the occasion, and, to the ut
termost limit of their resources, their
workers are playing the role Of min
istering angels to the stricken and
the hungry. Conspicuous among
these self-sacrificing toilers are the
Catholic Brothers and Sisters OF
Charity, who have made their bene.

UNIONS
WILL DISCUSS
PREPAREDNESS

Washington, March 9-The execu-

ton of Labor at a special meeting to-
day discussed in a preliminary way
plans to be considered here next Mon
day at a general labor conference to
determine what part it's 100000
members shall take in national pre-
paredness. Several hundred repre-
sentatives Of all unions affiliated with
the federation and the four railroad
brotherhoods, who have an unofficial
working agreement with the fedora
ton, are expected to be present next
Monday.
Nothing has been made public as to
what plans would be proposed, but 1t
was thought Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the federation, would have one
to suggest. His membership on the
advisory commission of the council
Of national defense has brought him
into close touch with the. prepared
ness needs Of the country.

in order to show that we can stand

Should we feel the same pride in
