PRESIDENT RE|TERATES
FAITH IN GERMANS HERE
Writes Representative Dyer Deplor.
ing Doubt as to Their Loyalty
to United States.

President Wilson, in a letter to Rep
resentative Dyer OF Missouri, today re-
iterated his confidence in the loyalty Of
the great body of American citizens OF
German blood.
Mr.. Dyer complained that federal Of
icials had discharged, without hearing
and simply on statements or affidavits.

whose loyalty had been questioned, and
that government officials there. in as
suming the attitude OF determining
what lie patriotism. had insulted some
of the best people in the city. simply
because of their German forefathers.

veteran, who had subscribed for lib

flown the Stars and Stripes over his
house ever since the war with Ger
many, was discharged for disloyalty.
without previous notice. and that Sass
mann has yet to learn what his disloy-
atty consists of.
Your letters have struck respon-
sive chord in my mind" the President
wrote. Il have been made aware from
various sources OF the unfortunate po-
sition in which a very large number of
our loyal fellow citizens are placed be-
cause OF their German origin or afllia-
tons
Il am sure that they need no further
assurance from me of my confidence
in the entire integrity and loyalty Of
the great body Of our citizens Of Ger
man blood. You know that not once.
but many times. in my public addresses
I have expressed this confidence. I do
not like to make another occasion to
express 1t. simply because 1t would
seem to indicate on my part q doubt
as to whether the country had be-
lieved my previous assurances to be
sincere. May 1 not very respectfully
suggest that 1t would be easy to make
use of the passages 1 have referred to
from my former addresses to do some
thing. l hope not little. to defeat the
evil influences that are at work"

Interrupted by Cheers.

Here the delegates rose and inter
rupted With cheers. When the demon
stratiUu had ended the baron continued:
king Albert summoned his cabinet
at once and there was not a diSsening
voice to the reply that Belgium sent
that very night.
Since that fateful day my country
has been ravased by Are and sword.
Old men. women and CHILDREN have been
deliberately and ruthlessly massacred.
Our war materials and our crops have
been seized without payment; our fac
tories have been destroyed, our
machinery stolen and sent into Ger
many, and, browning infamy of the CEN
turtles. our workmen have been torn
from their homes and sent into slavery.
THE Belgian people still stand Gagged
behind the steel bars formed of German
bayonets. Those who have escaped fire
and sword and other nameless evils are
still hungry. famished and enslaved
ground down beneath the heel of the
tyrant, but their courage remains I'M
broken and unbreakable."

NO MORE EXEMPTIONS NOW
THAN DURING CIVIL WAR
Gen. Crowder Compares Selective
Draft Figures With Those Re-
ported in 1858.

Early and scattering reports from
local selection boards do not indicate
any increase in physical exemptions
under the selective CONSUMPTION act
over the average 25.77 per cent of those
examined in TIE draft proceedings in
1863 during the civil war, Provost Mar
shall Gen. Crowder said today. The re-
suits of the next step in the selection
procedure. the wedding out of men
with dependent families, are not clear
as yet. The question of marriage to
avoid military duty already has been
passed upon. and that type of Stacker
will meet with a cold reception at the
hands of the boards.
Secretary Daniels said today that
knotty problems would arise and were
already arising in the Navy Depart
ment in that regard. He Indicated
that most CT the trouble lay In making
a decision as to individuals in the cleri-
cal force, valuable to their bureau
chiefs. Skilled workers at the yards
are absolutely essential 20 the war,
and there appears to be little chance
that any of these can be spared for
military service. The same rule ap-
plies TO skilled draughtsmen i'll the
civil service. Many officials propose to
consider the qualifications of every
drafted employe most carefully before
applying for his exemption.
Secretary Danield said also that all
vacancies created in the Navy Depart
ment probably will be filled by women
or by men over the draft limit of
thirty-one years.

RUSSIAN POLITICAL
CRISIS UNSOLVED
Landed and Educated Classes
Apparently Arrayed Against
Socialists Generally.
THE DUMA MAKES APPEAL
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, August 2.-The politi-
cal crisis. which is still unsolved. is TAX
ing a new form owing to the growing
tendency of the country to divide into
two sharply defined opposing camps.
In the first camp are the educated.
especially the landed and Industrial
classes. led by members Of the duma
and Moscow manufacturers. while the
second is composed of socialists of all
shades of opinion.
The opposition between the moderate
socialists and the Bolsheviki group,
which reached its height during the
July revolt, is declining as result OF
fear by both camps that the duma'
industrial movement aims at reac-
:ionary counter revolution. The chief
evidence of this division is an unofficial
session of the duma at which the mod
crate progressive party combined with
the old reactionaries led by Vladimir
NJ. furishkevich vice president OF the
Union Of True Russians, in attacks on
the socialists and the soCialistic policy
of the cabinet as influenced by the
councils of workmen's and soldiers
and peasants delegates.

The work done by the British air service
in Tuesdays offensive has not been sur
passed in efficiency and spectacula
features since the war began. More
unfayorable weather for aerial opera
lions could hardly have been selected.
At dawn, when the infantry advance
began. the whole country was blank
eted by thick. low-lying clouds. and by
afternoon rain had begun TO fall.
Despite these tremendous disadvan-
tages, huge squadrons of British planes
led the advance into the enemy terri
tory. and not only maintained constant
contact with their infant-v, but. flying
at such a low altitude that they often
were only a few feet from the ground,
they carried or q destructive warfare
of their own with their machine guns.
Many fights occurred between the rival
pilots. but the Teutons were complete
1y outclassei, both in numbers and
skill. and We're forced to retire at most
points after losing six machines.
