arrived from Washington early, and after
viewing the parade went into conference
with the local committee.
Washington is pleased with the Phila-
delphia campaign" said Woolley, but II
the Liberty Loan Is to be success every
body must do more There Is not district
in the country that has done better work
and none in which such splendid results
have been shown, hut we must not confuse
the present-day situation with the real
issues at stake The Government wants
$4,000. 900 600, and If that sum is raised It
must be raised through the help Of the
entire country The man at the lathe tho
farmer, tho banker, and, in fact, all must
contribute.
wooley paid tribute TO the Philadelphia
campaign committee by saying that its
methods and particularly its advertising
propaganda were being copied in other
districts.
The chief trouble" said the publicity
director, "is in reaching the little fellows
and Philadelphia seems to have solved that
I problem The local committee Is getting
wonderful results and proving its ability to
handle the big allotment.
But more and then more can be done

The possibility of calling for a
second increment of 500 900 is a
remote -one. 1t will take probably a
year for the first 100000 to be-
come equipped and ready for serv-
ice, as well as transported to Eu-
rope. If a second force is called it
would be twelve to eighteen months
hence, by which time most officials
here believe the war will be over

HOW THE NEW DRAFT LAW
WILL BIZ ENFORCED HERR
Local Boards to Have Much to Say
on Exemption

With the listing of $500 men in
Dickinson county June 5 and the
probable calling to the co.ors of at
least 125 everybody is interested in
exactly how the exemptions are to
be made. David Lawrence, of the
New York Evening Post, has the
first real information on this sub
ject. He says:
With the idea OF getting a gem
eral view of the way the conscrip-
tion bill would work, | went today
TO the war department and talked
at length with Secretary Baker and
some of the officers of the general
staff of the army. | was particularly
interested in how the farmers who
were being urged on the one hand
to plant additional crops could feel
sure that they would have help
enough to handle these crops if
suddenly the conscription law were
10 take away their sons or some
body else's sons on whom they had
depended for the care of their fields.
And what is true of agriculture
industries The eonscription law, it
was pointed out to me, will take
only 100000 men. or one out OF
every twenty, enrolled as of mill
tary age. Yet it is obvious that no
business can be run on chance-tak-
ing, least of all can the problem of
labor for the farms be thus easily
disposed of for until the one man
cut OF that twenty is picked. every
farmer will consider himself po-
tentially affected.
With reference to that phase Of
the problem. was informed that
extensive powers would be granted

of all. all men between 81 and 30
would enroll. Their names would be
placed in a jury wheel and drawn,

tion to the total needed.
OF the men chosen physical ex-
animation as well as answers to
certain questions. such as employ

would be required. In some cases

aally made by the local board. In
others exemptions would J.; 10

Married men are not exempt from
the operation OF the selective draft
law merely because they are mar
ried. Many married men will be
drafted into the military service,
but only when their wives and chill
dren are not financially dependent
upon them. Wives rich in their own
right whose husbands fall within
the prescribed age scale will have
to give them up for the period Of
the war, This rule Is not general
since some wealthy men will be
numbered among those who are OF
greater potential value to the ma
tion in their usual vocatioHs than
they would be at the front. Many
men with relatives who'll

moss would be able to prove il
these days of social compexity thai
it was related to the national de-
tense Few industries are not. But
the generali:ies in the conscription
law permit the application of com
nonsense rules Common-sense in
deed, will be the principle applied
am informed, and therefore every
man can determine after being
drafted exactly whether he is to be
called to military service by follow
ing the reasoning in the following
case cited to me by high depart
ment official
Suppose a farmer has big
acreage and has always had one son
to assist him, or really to help man
age his business Now, the local
exemption board would know that
case thoroughly They would know
that to take away that son would
hurt the productiveness of that
farm, and thereby the nations food
two or three sons. and the local
board knew that the farmer could
spare one or possibly two of them
and still turn over big crop, that
there were men above the military
age who were available to take
their places, and that labor had
been plentiful In that section. 1t
would be unwise to make exemp-
tions in that case. But il might be
that labor was scarce and that the
farm could not be managed if the
boys were taken away. The local
board would have power to make
any exemption deemed necessary to
keep the farms manned"
Patriotism Of Young Men
But the war department isn't an
ticipating any difficulty. chiefly be-
cause the patriotism of the Ameri-
can youth can be depended upon
What son would stay at home or
could, consistent with his self-re-
spect in the community. II 1t were
generally known that he could be
spared? What son would want the
exemption unless the local board
insisted upon 1t? And. ia most
cases. it probably will be the en-
ployers OF farm labor who will be
instrumental in procuring exemp-
tions over the protest, no doubt. OF
the very youngsters affected But
the local board will have orders not
to permit any men to go to war
until satisfied that industries would I
not be vitality affected.
The government. in effect. there
