third supplemental ruling pro-
y:des that where man mas supported
his dependents by his own labor On
land which he owns and the. boards
find that the land could be rented to

The telegram to the govrnors TO-
lows:
"JJnder the presidential regulations
the term dependent for, support has
given rise to several further questions
of principle affecting large numbers
Of persons.
Must Consider Spirit Of Act
"The general basis fol ruling upon
euch question should be the spirit and
purpose of the act in providing Tor
such discharge wherever the terms OF
the art and of the regulations are not
in themselves conclusive. The act au-
thorizes the president to dlscnarsS
wherever the parties drafted are IN 9
status with respect to persons de-
rendent upon them for support Wnlcn
ronaers their exclusion or discharge
advisable.
Such dependency ordinarily ren-
ders discharge advisable because.
since the drafted person loses ais
civil income and thus loses his means
Of support, the wife is left without
support and this lack Of support IL
the effect which the act aims to avoid
But wherever such effect does not IL
fact follow, and the wife is not lett
without reasonable adequate support
but will receive such support from
other sources. there is no real depen-
dency during discharge advisable
"The following classes of cases are
within this ruling:
"A. wife and children:
"1. Where parents or other rela-
tives of the wife or the husband are
able ready and willing to provide
adequate support for her (and ch'i'
dren if any during the absence ol
the husband.
"2. Where the wife owns lane
which. has produced income by the
/ husbands labor, but which could witt
reasonable certainty be rented during

produce an adequate support.
i "S. Where there exists some al
| ransement by which the salary ol
wage of the husband is continued Ii
whole or in part, by; third persons
being employers or insurers of 9th
ers. and such portion of the salary o.
! wage, either alone or with an allot
ment of his soldiers pay or witt

reasonable adequate support.
