Japanese Mission Given
 HOnOrs in New York City

While the official greeting given Wis., count Ishii and his associates was clothed in all the dignity to which they were entitled as the envoys of a great nation, they soon were made. to feel there was something more than formal courtesy back of the hospitality extended to them
 Foreign missions are no novelty to New York. but hundreds of thousands of cit izens took time today to cheer enthusi- astically and spontaneously the repre- sentatlves of America's war ally in the far east. There was norning stereotyped about the popular welcome. New Workers cheered Ishii and the others because they were glad to see them. They were just as welcome as Joffre and Balfour and the Prince of Udine.

 While this office will not address itself to any particular case or decide or make a decision on any such case pending in n local or district board, the answer to your question, Is the fact that parents or relatives are ready and willing to sup port wife ground for denying claim for uischarge because of her dependency when, in fact, she has been in past ac- tualiy supported by her husband by his earnings? is No.

By LEO R. SACK

Washington, September 27.-(Special) ) Because there has been complaint from Alabama with reference to the decisions of local and district boards on applica- tions for exemption from service in the national army because of dependents, Senator Underwood today sought an opin- ion from Provost Marshal General Crow der, ins charge of the draft law. General Crowder had just received a similar complaint from Senator Hiram Johnson of California, and as result telegraphed the adjutant general of California s,so that there could be possibility of mis- understanding" General Crowder is OF the opinion that his rulings heretofore announced should be perfectly clear to the exemption boards
 He furnished Senator Underwood with a verbatim copy of the message to Cali fornia, which ruling pertains equally to similar cases arising in Alabama. It follows:

 clency Of the army and the navy
 During his long service in the House l ne has been confirmed pacifist of the lowest order and is now masuueradinr as
 war leader. Heflin has consistently voted against every increase in the navy recommended by the navy general board. as well as in increases in the army rec commended by the general stan. And it IS ne ana men of his ilk who are respon- slble for the country's unpreparedness for great war today
 He IS the same Heflin who suggested that the White House should be blown up by bomb at the time President Roosevelt entertained Booker T. Wash ington there. During all these years no one accused him of being disloyal to the flag nor of treason. but regarded his ex- pressions merely as opinions of member of the House. Now, when Heflin Is seek Ing senatorial honors in Alabama he does not hesitate to besmirch the honor and integrity of both branches of Congress number of the members. He admits that his slurring remarks are based entirely upcn his personal opinion and are with out enc scintilla of proof.
 II shall insist on the rules committee resolution calling for a complete investi- gation with view to severely censuring Feflin at the bar of the House. I may add that the reason 4eflin feels that cer- tain members are suspicious Is because they do not recognize him when they pass him on the street."

Jews who had become American citi- zens that brought about the abroga- ton of the commercial treaty between the United States and Russia, and which as yet has never been renewed.
 Thus when the Jews are told that they will henceforth be treated the same as other subjects of that country by the new Russian government they have good reason to look upon such a statement with confidence for it is that government which has actually taken steps to overcome the autocra- tic rule which has prevailed in the past and succeeded in accomplishing it's purpose, and it has already be- gun to put into effect those reforms for which it stands.
 The Jews might look upon the prom ises as they have upon those which used to be given by the old govern
 nent, but for the fact that they are not alone involved. The Films and the Poles are also to profit and the promises are already being carried out. They thus have reason to believe in the new regime and they know that country well enough to understand the advantages which it offers to them under the improved conditions. Rus sia can do much for them and they can do much for that country, once they are given the chance.

LETTERS TO THE EOI!O1
To Aid the Home Gardens.

Mir. Editor: In view of the local and national need for the most extensive cultivation possible of home gardens during the present year. for the pur pose of increasing the food supply, to assist in the widest possible safe of garden plants in Norwich. I have de . cided with the approval of the mayor of the city of Norwich to permit those retail dealers who handle such pants to exhibit the same for sale upon the sidewalks in front of their respective places of business. until further hotice during the present plant season, pro vided that in showing these plants as above stated the same shall be allowed in no case to extend more than two feet from the face of the building into the sidewalk.
 This permission applies simply to plants as above stated, and does not apply to any other articles of mer- chandise. l am informed that these pants cannot be kept inside of the stores. for either they become crooked or twisted in seeking the light or dry up for lack of the outside air and moisture, or both. This fact, coupled with the need above mentioned. leads me to permit this exception in the en- forcement of the ordinance against ob- structing the sidewalk of the city.
 This letter is written to you for your information and that there may be no misconception upon the part of anyone as to the extent of the permission granted.
 Yours truly,
 GEORGE E. FELLOWS.
