Wilson has written Secretary
Baker expressing a view that the

single men should he taken when
it is possible
AS the president is empowered by
the draft law to make the regulations
under which it will be carried out. the
effect of his letter TO Secretary Baker
is TO throw his influence toward a
more liberal policy for exemption OF
men than heretofore has been
pursued by the provost marshal gen
erals office.
Tt is no secret that the presidents
view is in opeu conflict with the inn
the law by the army officers who are
it, They contend that
as the history of the law shows that
congress voted down amendments to
exempt married men they have no
legal authority to exempt them except
on the grounds Of dependency alone
President Wilson's view, as forecast

is that the taking of married men and
heads of families should be avoided at
