The peculiar hIlt of the sword car.
ried by officers OF the United States
Marine Corps has often caused COM
ment and speculation as to why it is
different from the hits of the side
arms worn by officers of the army and
navy.
The Marine Corps swords have no
guards, the grip being without the
protection afforded in the swords worn
in the other services. This grip is
of ivory, curved at the top, and the
entire hilt has the appearance of q
cross. like the swords of olden days.
This sword has been worn by Ma
rine Corps officers for years, and the
story is that, after the Tripolitan
wars, in which the marines distin-
guishad themselves by many acts of
bravery, they desired some distinctive
mark in their uniforms to commence
rate their service.
1t was finally decided to adopt
particular style of sword, and the
Marmsluken hilt. with which all the
TripolitAn swords were fitted, was
chosen as q constant reminder of the
marines heroism in the Mediterranean

That women in Baltimore have been
quietly training themselves for work
hitherto delegated to mere man has
been evidenced at tire Federal Employ
ment Bureau recently by applications
from wage earning women for ell sorts
of unusual labor.
Two women who have trained them
selves as professional chauffeuses, have
been listed for employment. and a
number have applied for employment
as skilled farm hands, among them q
public school teacher of Baltimore.
One woman applied for work as
skilled carpenter and another as me-
chanic. The feminine mechanic said
that she had no fear of grease and oils
and could even do painting job with
ease and dispatch.
There has been steady influx of
women applicants for picking fruit

DAILY COMMUTERS
TO CAMP ME ABE
Estimated 5000 Men to Make Trip
Night and Morning

Three thousand men will be COM
lnuting between Camp Meade and
Baltimore each night and morning as
soon as Major Ralph Proctor, head Of
construction work, gets the 1900 adj
ditional men he needs to rush the camp
to completion. Housing the workmen
on the camp site is such a difficult
problem that 500 of the 1900 en-
ployed there now have TO commute
every day. The number of commu-
tiers will be doubled when the required
additions are made to the force. Only
2, 500 men can possibly be accommo.
dateo all night at the camp. Major
Proctor expects no difficulty in getting
the additional laborers and mechanics.
Many apply there every day.
By September the camp will be
"ready to take care of troops" Major
Proctor said yesterday. The Fifth
Regiment, Companies L and K, will
be replaced by the first of next week
with New York troops, it is expect
ed, be Company B, Pennsylvania Engi-
neers, will be kept on duty at Camp.
Meade until September ], if Major
Proctor's recommendation to the East
ern Department is approved. He has
been asked to state how soon Company
B could be relieved from duty and he
replied September !.
The War Department has promised
to to try to send troop of cavalry to
Camp Meade to act as traffic officers
on the roads around end through the
camp.

GETTING READY TO FLOAT
A SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
Is.ue Probably Win Be Offered About
September IS at Higher
Interest.

Prepsrations for the floating of the
second liberty loan to be offered 10
the public some time early in the fall
were begun in Washington this week
by the general loan committee OF the
second federal reserve district. This
action was taken following q request
from Secretary McAdoo that the COM
mittee reorganize at once for q sec-
ond campaign. Secretary McAooo
suggested the personnel of the COM
mittee remain unchanged.
Although the date the second loan
will be offered to the public and the
rate of interest it will bear have not
d efinitely been decided upon, IT was
said. IL would be about September is,
and not October Is, as at first report
ed. 1t was also said in the financial
district that it was very doubtful II
the liberty loan bonds bearing 80 per
cent interest so long as the market
price for the last issue remained I'M
der par.
The reason given for advancing the
date of the next issue from OCTOBER
Is to September Is was that the small
investor might be che of the big fac.
tors in floating the loan. 1t was said
hiatt. should the loan be offered Legin.
ming October Is. the workingman
would not invest heavily because of
the coming holidays.
Benjamin Strong, governor OF the
New York reserve bank, will continue
to act as chairman of the general
committe for that district.

DRAFTING OF ARMY
TO COST $500, 4SO
Baker Sends Expense Estimate TO
Speaker OF HOuse-Per Capita
Charge is 1929.

Secretary Baker sent TO the Speaker
of the House an estimate of $500 ,4S0
for the expenses of drafting the new
National Army. The Secretary adj
vises that $2,65S,413 has already been
appropriated, and approximately &c.
100000 additional is needed to defray
the cost of registering 100000 men
and drafting the more than 100000
for service
The unit cost for drafting each of
the 1,1S7,000 men of the National
Army, according to Secretary Baker,
is 1929 The Secretary of ar advises
that this is cheaper than any other
system.
ION a tentative estimate that the
generous system of exemptions and
discharges will result In the necessity
for examining four registrants to pro
duce one soldier" said the letter of
Secretary Baker, ut is apparent that
the system must be capable of exam
lining some 100000 persons during
the year. For this task the organiza-
ton requires personnel of over 49,
600 persons
Secretary Baker explained that
number of persons utilized in the
draft program serve without pay, but
there must be provisions made for the
pay Of numerous assistants. He adds:
when the boards are not in opera
ton the cost of the system is practi-
caly negligible. Therefore the cost of
Inducing one man into military serv-
ice will not vary greatly with the
number of men raised. The unit cost
is computed at 1923 and the estimate
shows that this is less than one half
the cost of inducing men under any
other ystem that has yet been
devised"

RULES TO GUIDE
IN DRAFT CASES
Exemption Boards Adopt Lines For
UNIFORMITY In DECISIONS
Action at Joint Meeting Of the Three
Boards Robert Moss, Of Annap-
oils Instructs Chairman.

The three Maryland district eX-
emption boards, at a joint meeting
held at the request of the Provost
Marshal General, for the purpose of
securing uniformity of decision in the
same classes of cases, to consider re-
quests made for definition of policy
or rule with respect to industrial ex-
emptions, adopted resolution offered
by Robert Moss instructing the chair
man of the three. boards to prepare a
statement in accordance with the
resolution for publication. The state
ment made by Edwin G. Baetjer, w.
Laird Henry and Robert Moss is as
follows:
The decisions of the three Mary
land exemption boards will be gov
erned by the following considerations
and made in accordance with the fol-
lowing rules:
/. The selection of men for mill
tary service is not made by the ex-
emption board; this was done by the
Act of Congress and the class select
ed includes every persons between Fl
and 80 years of-age.
Exemptions or relief from the call
for service are not granted as con-
sideration for the support of depend
ents or as a privilege of certain in
dustrial or agricultural vacations;
they are not granted in the interest
of any individual or vocation, but
solely in the interest of the nations
military and industrial efficiency; and
of the two the military is the more
important factor.
2. Exemption boards can have no
policy of their own; the policy is de-
fined by Congress. Neither severity
nor leniency can have any place in
their judgment. They have the right
only to be just-just not only to the
man affected by the exemption
claimed. but to the man substituted
for him by the exemption granted.
An improperly granted exemption
does not merely wrongfully relieve
the applicant Of his duty, but wrong
fully puts another in his place. The
army quota must be filled and the
discharge or exemption of the fit on
the earlier applications involves the
acceptance of those older an less fit
ted for service on the later ones and
involves, therefore. constantly de-
creasing standard of military effici-
ency and fitness of the men drafted
The board can be guided, there
fore, by single rule. that is, admin
lister the rules prescribed by Congress
and the Presidents regulations just
ly, so that every one called to the
colors can respond in the confidence
that his call was fair.

Governments Negotiations
With Ship Owners.

Information has reached the Depart
ment that numerous self-styled agents,
brokers and other unauthorized persons
are interviewing owners of vessels
under the guise Of being representa-
tives Of the Government.
In certain cases owners have gone
to considerable trouble and expense to
allow such persons to inspect their
vessels, hauling fires to allow the boil
ers to be examined. or putting their
vessels on the ways to permit of in.
epection of the hulls.
Commandments will give the widest

mated agents.

Exceptional Necessity.

This does not mean that a person
engaged in a particular industry or
agricultural enterprise is to be dis
charged by reason of the fact that
such class of industry, taken as
whole, or agriculture. taken as a
whole. is necessary for the national
interest; but that the particular en-
terprise is one of exceptional neces-
sity.
Second-The second question in
volved is: Does the person claiming
to be exempt occupy such position
in such necessary industry or agri-
culture that his place cannot be filled?
Mere difficulty in filling his place. loss
of profit to the employer or increased
cost of filling the position are not suf-
ficient grounds.
1t is therefore necessary not only
that the particular industrial enter
prise or agricultural or farm opera
ton in which he is engaged is essen
tial to the military or national inter-
est. but also that his qualification for

3. Appeals-Any applicant. or the
government, may appeal from the ad-
verse decision of the local board. The
government is obliged by law to APP
peal in all cases in which an exemp-
ton is granted on account of depend
ents. The government is authorized
TO file such additional affidavits in OPP
position to the supporting afiidavits
as it may deem necessary and the
board is authorized to make such in
quiry as they may deem necessary to
ascertain the facts stated in the sup
porting affidavit.
4. Industrial Claims-These are de-
fined by the Acts of Congress as fol-
lows:
Persons engaged in industries. in
Guiding agricultural, found to be me-
cessary to the maintenance of the
military establishment or the effec-
tive operation of the military forces
or the maintenance of national inter-
est during the emergency"
While this language is general the
classification has been further defined
by regulations promulgated by the
President and by the rulings of the
Provost Marshal General.
The following are extracts from the
most recent rulings of the national
authorities:
Two things are to be accomplished
Ito raise armies; to maintain indus
tries Any considerable diminution of
man power must interfere to some ex-
tent with industry. The success of
the nations military operation is the
dominant object to which the con-
servation of certain industries is re-
lated as one means necessary to that
end"
The question in each individual
case is. therefore. always two-fold:
First-Is the industry in question
necessary to the maintenance of the
military establishment, the military
forces or the national interest during
the way?
