Draft Chairman to Send Cousin
to War Despite Sisters Tears
Aunt Rebecca's Son Must Be Man" DR.. Girsdansky
Tells Weeping Crl-Nine-tenths in District %
Will Claim Exemption

dren demanding that their husbands be
"let Off; worried young husbands ex-
planning volubly the several reasons
why they could not serve. Usually the
reasons were children, but sometimes
they were weak feet" or stomach
troubles now and then" or fervid rellg-
ious objections to war.
These Poor Men VIII Fight
"They may call this rich mans war
If they like" said one of the board
members, "but the poor aren't going 70
fight it IL this district is any indica-
ton"
At Board No. lag, Eighty-ffth Street
and First Avenue, the percentage OF
exemption claims was estimated as be-
ing so per cent of the physically Mt.
So that with four out of te men
swearing before a notary that they
were the sole support and so forth and
so on, it was very refreshing to hear
Young Samuel Ulrich, of All East
Eighty-second Street, declare that he
was 'tired of all this bellyaching
around" and that he wanted to be ex..
ARMED Immediately" He was, or
course, for men who signify their readl-
ness to serve are given the precedence
over the others, but he was rejected on
account Of defective eyes, and a more
detected young patriot was never seen
than Ulrich after the bad news mad
been broken TO him.
This board is going to eaton one
Stacker, however, for they nave oeen
forewarned by no less person than the
gentlemars mother, who wrote TO the
Chairman, stating the hard, unvarnished
truth about her sons patriotic lnten-
tons.
"He's going to claim exemption on
the ground that he supports me, she
wrote, "but he doesn't, never has, ana
never will, and he should be exempted
on no condition whatever
Needless to say, that young man IS
destined to do his duty by his country.
There were q dozen or SO heroes AZ
this board who began to be disagreeaole
along about o'clock yesterday after
"Weve been here all day" growled
ono ~ can't come again. Who's goin'
TO pay for the days work we lose, any
way?"
Il was explained in the chairman's
most courteous--and ironic-tones that
hi, was government business, and that
II was too bad IL individuals had TO be
ever so slightly, but that
IL couldn't be helped, and would the
gentleman please subside? But the un,
pleasant one continued to snarl until
they finally examined him to get rid OF
him, whereupon he Immediately claimed
exemption.
"And he kicks at the taxes, and hates
the British, and calls it squabble
among kings" commented a policeman.

Of holding down a Job Is nothing in
the eyes Of the law"
Slaekers Up to Boards
On the other hand, the responsibility
Of the man who was married yesterday
the Stacker bridegroom" Of the Mu-
nicipal Marriage Bureau-to support
his wife. will be questioned by the
board Of examiners of the exemption
boards. II 1t seems fact, in the
opinion of the exemption board, that
the marriage was performed solely for
the purpose Of evading the draft, the
economic independence OF the woman
will be a large factor in sending the
Stacker" into the trenches.
The only utterance President wilson
himself has made on this subject was
TO the effect that a mans frst duty
was to his family; II his going TO war
would make his family public charge,
he should not feel obliged to go. This
statement, feminists pointed out yes.
terday with some indignation, seemed
to recognize only two alternatives Tor
woman, either to have some man
support her or 70 become puDic
charge: the feminist contention that
almost any woman can earn her own
living did not enter into the situation
at all.
Boards to Decide
In absolute contradiction to the opin-
ion of General Conkling's office, the
Mayors committee, which maintains
an information bureau at No. ESQ
Broadway for the benefit of perplexed
citizens, gave out the opinion last
night that the economic independence
Of women would be factor in the
situation.
'If woman can hold down job her
husband cannot claim exemption" it
was stated by q member Of the COM
mittee.
"Who is to decide whether she can
hold down a job7"

When DR.. Max Girsdansky, chairman

When DR.. Max Girsdansky, chairman
of exemption board No. SO. at 229
East Broadway, said farewell to the
eldest two of his six sons on the occa-
sion Of their departure for officers
training camps several months ago he
wen. back into his book-littered study
and thought the war had already done
its worst to him. But yesterday a
weeping, frail little girl came to him
with q reminder Of a deathbed prom
Use he had made TO his Aunt Rebecca
ten years ago, and DR.. Girsdansky

Aunt Rebecea's daughter, and she had
come In behalf Of her brother, Isadore
Miller. Of Is Montgomery Street, who
will be the first non-alien called be-
fore Board No. 90 tomorrow.
"You remember what mother asked
of YOU" pleaded the girl. "She died
in peace when you said you would look
out for US. You won't send lizzie off,
will you? Izzie's such brother.
Cousin Max! You don't know how
good he is. oh, you couldn't send him
from US. his sisters-oh. you couldn't"
Cousin Must Do His Duty
The doctor took the tear-soaked face
Of the girl between his hands.
"He's Aunt Rebecca's boy and your
brother, and I did promise her I'd look
out for you all. But, child, this Is look
ing out for you. Aunt Rebecca's son

SO Izzie's sister, sobbing still, STUN
BLEED out of the Office and home, and to-
morrow Isadore Miller will be the first
man examined and the first man ac-
cepted by Board SO. He has already
been examined unofficially and is sure
to pass.
But although the work Of Board SO
will start off with this encouraging
sign, nine-tenths of the registered men
in the first call are expected to claim
exemption in this district, for they are
almost entirely Russian Jews-pedlers,
tailors, jewellers-and being twenty
one, ergo they are married; and being
married, they are sure to have children.
Last night at the board they were lined
up to the street,-bearded pstriarchs,

Washington, Aug. Every precau-

prevent discharge of men from the
draft on sole grounds of material hard
ship to them individually or to their
employers, said circular on the duty
of district boards, issued to-day by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
at is the interest of the nation sole
ly that must be subserved," said Gen.
eral Crowder, adding that consequently
industrial exemptions should be grant
ed only to men absolutely essential to
the conduct of business which itself
i essential tc proper prosecution of
the war District boards have original
jurisdiction in all cases of industrial
exemptions.
"All cases OF discharge by local
boards on grounds of dependency are
to be appealed automatically to the
district board, General Crowder said,
and each case should be scanned care
fully, though not necessarily reopened
for hearing. For each local board an
official will be appointed to act as gov
eminent challenger against men whom
he believes discharged without ade-
quate cause. Firemen, policemen and
students in technical schools are not to
be discharged under industrial exempt
ion regulations.
Balance Must Be Struck
"To district boards will be entrusted
the solution of one of the most vital
problems of the war" says General
Crowder's circular. 1.-TWO things are TO
be accomplished--to raise armies and
to maintain industries. IL is self-evi-
dent that the problem is not absolutely
TO prevent interference with industry,
for that is impossible. 1t is to reduce
interference to a minimum. A balance

this new play Hart has the role of an
itinerant printer who settles down in
Glory Hole, a western mining town,
with the brave intention OF starting a

The significant thing about this edi-
tor is not his nose for news" for

In one remarkable scene the star

One of the best love stories ever
woven into a William S. Hart play
is said to be feature in which Hart
gets himself into romance and
eventual matrimony by accepting for
his paper poetry which a village
maiden brings into his sanetum.
In the course of the actien Hart,
as the editor Of. the local paper, prints
