SAFELY DESPITE U.b0ATS
Germany Massed Submarines for At.
tack but They Are Beaten on
by U. s. Warships.

Though German U-boats twice at
tackled in force, not man, a ship or
an animal was lost out of the first
contingent of soldiers and supply
ships sent to the western battlefront
in Europe, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels officially stated Wednesday
in announcing the safe arrival at a
French port of the last ships Of the
first American overseas expedition.
The fact that the first attack by
German submarines was made far at
sea, before the transports and their
warship conveys had reached the
point at which a rendezvous had been
arranged with the American destroyer
fotilla operating in European waters,
convinces government officials that,
through the work of spies in this
country. Germany knew secrets of
the expedition, knew where and when
to expect the expedition and as
sembled submarines in force to at
tack them
The U-boats, however were beaten
off by the warships conveying the ex-
pedition. and at least one of them
sunk, Secretary Daniels announced.

tual drafting of the new selective

FUTURE ARMY PLANS
TO Be KEPT SECRET
STOPS PUBLICITY
TO KEEP GERMANY IN
DARK.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July g.
Future arrivals of American troops
in France or at any European port
will not be made public. Neither will
there be any announcement of plans
for the movement of forces overseas.
This is the result of the premature
publication of the arrival of Perish
ing's first division at French port.
All Movements Secret.
Brigadier-General Frank MvIntyre,
army censor, has announced: Il
There is little possibility of any
arrival of American forces in France
being made public hereafter. All
troop movements of whatever kind
will be secret
Brigadier-General Frank Mcintyre,
means that when a man-say he is a
selective conscript-leaves his home
to join the colors, nothing more will
be known about him until he either
is killed, wounded or returned home.
OF course, letters will be permitted,
but no information Of what he Is
doing or where he is located will be
permitted In such letters.
When his relatives or friends write
to him they will merely address him
as ''care American expeditionary
forces" and the letter will be for
warded by the government.
To Keep Germany Guessing.
The move has a double design. 1t
will prevent Germany from knowing,
or estimating how many men Amer
lea is sending the the front. The
troops will go out, be given course
of training. and depart from the
shores of the United States as silently
as ghosts in the night.
There will be no announcement
that second expedition is being pre-
pared for the front or that third
expedition is being made ready.

ligious sect existing May 1S, 1917,
whose creed forbids participation in
war and whose religious convictions
accord with the creed.
Claims for exemption because Of
dependents may be made by the man
himself, his wife or other depend
ents or by third party who has per-
sonally investigated the case. A
claim by the wife or third party
must be accompanied by two sup
porting aff1davits signed by heads OF
families.
Similar rules govern claims on
the grounds of other dependents
when the dependents or third par
ties are authorized to file claims
with supporting affidavits. In each
case the board must be satisfied be-
fore it grants exemption or discharge
that the dependent or dependents ac-
tually are supported mainly by the
fruits of the mans mental or physi-
cal labor.
No Delay Permitted.
Local boards are required, sub
iect to appeal. to pass upon claims
for exemption or discharee within
three days after the filing of affi-
davits.
District boards must decide ap-
peal cases within five days after the
closing of proofs. and their disposi-
tions are final. If the ruling of a
local board is affirmed the person in
question stands finally accepted for
military service.
''In passing on claims for exemp-
ton on the ground Of employment in
necessary industrial and agricultural
occupations the district boards must
be convinced that the particular en-
tcrprise affording such employment
actually is necessary to the mainte-
nance of the military establishment
or national interest during the emer-
gency.
Certificates of exemptions will
not necessarily be permanent. They
may be revoked with changing con-
ditions or may be granted only for
prescribed periods"

numbered serially and listed for post
ing to public view. Then. after hav-
ing been advised of the method by

ice shall be determined and of the
