In letter to the Herald Congress-
man French advises that congress
has approved a resolution providing
for exemption to entrymen of mining
claims who have or may enlist in
the army or navy of the United
States for the period of the war
with Germany. Congressman French
and his colleagues, Congressman
Smith and Senators Borah and Brady
were instrumental in securing the
passage of the resolution.
The resolution was approved July
II, and provides that the provisions
of section 1924 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States requiring
not less than 500 worth of labor
to be performed or improvements
made during the year shall not apply
to claims or parts of claims owned
by officers or enlisted men who
have been or may during the pres
ent war with Germany be mustered
into military or naval service of
the United States to serve during
their enlistment.
To secure such exemption, the To-
