record indicates clearly that injustice
has been done.
Pursuant to this policy. the num-
Der or straight-out appeals sustained
by the district board sitting In this
city can be counted on two hands.
One exemption was granted yester
day. II went to b. Dyer, Tulsa
county man. and was on a dependency
ground. Dyer is engineer in charge
OF the Pioneer oil company's COM
pressing gasoline plant at Redbird.
The record showed that he had a
brother engaged in this work until
sometime ago when he lost the sight
OF both eyes in an accident at the
plant, rendering him helpless. He
was married. B. Dyer took his place
and is supporting the blind brother
and his wife. The work Is said TO
be extremely hazardous.
Pass Oh Sixty.
About sixty Tulsa county appeals
were passed upon and denied and the
appellants certified for service. Most
of them were in the county outside
the city. tho several from the city
proper were in the list This was
not made up yesterday on account OF
the boards desire to rush to COM
pletion the conslderati ton of appeals
from Creek, McIain and Pontotoc
counties. 1t will be given out today.
The largest number Of appeals yet
disposed of in any one county was
from Pontotoc county. where 1872 ap-
peals were denied and the appellants
certified for service.
A number Of extensions were grant
ed farmers yesterday in order to give
them time to harvest and dispose OF
their crops. These went to l.. r. Cook,
John Il. Woods and n. Il. Carson "a
Purcell. All have large crops TO
handle and assured the board that un-
less they were given time to harvest
and dispose of them they would suf-
fer total loss. Each was allowed until
December l.
Scott Hendricks of Brlstow was de-
MED a similar request because his
crop is only thirty acres and the board
thot he would have plenty OF time in
which to dispose of this.
The county attorney Of Creek cou.-
ty was asked for additional informa-
ton on the appeals of Robert T. Pate
OF Shamrock, f. o. Ledgerwood and
Abraham Jones OF Bristow. All their
claims are on dependency grounds.
Made Mistake.
The appeal Of James A. Giffen or
Creek county was settled by the recoru
being returned to the lower boaro,
which notified the district board that
Giffen had been exempted by 1t ana
that the record was sent up by mis-
take.

Washington. July 22.-Louisi
ana and Mississippi each contri
buted vote for the HardwicE
amendment to the aviation bill
which proposed to eliminate thu
draft feature from that measure
Among the twelve voting for the
amendment were Senators Brous
sard and Vardaman. Different
reasons actuated the two votes
however. Senator Broussard
thinks the draft provision in the
aviation bill is entirely unneces
sary. With the authority already
vested in the President to coz
script men for the army, he holds
that the matter Of assigning them
to the different arms Of the serv-
ice is an administrative detail
which can be carried out without
further authorization by Congress.
Senator Broussard is not opposed
to the policy of conscription.
which became a law with the aid
of his vote, and for which he
worked actively.
Senator Vardaman remains a
determined opponent to conscrin
Zion in any form. He refuses to
vote for any bill which has con-

scriptive feature. Senator La
Toilette who was active in his
support Of the Hardwick amend.
ment expresses the views of most
of those who voted for the amend
ment, in the following concise
statement made late yesterday in
the Senate:
"Any war a democracy prose
cutes ought to be prosecuted with
out a resort to draft. Democracy
ought never to enter upon a war
that it cannot prosecute by volun-
teerS.
"To employ the draft is to con-
fess that the war lacks enthusiast
tic and wholehearted support by
the people. A democracy should
not enter upon any under taking
that has not the support of the
people.
Gin the United States the draft
should never be resorted to unless
it be to use an army within the
borders of our own country to
preserve the country. The Uni
ted States should never attempt tc
raise by draft a force for oversee
service. Il will not at this time
enter upon any discussion to dem
onstrate that there is no authority
in the constitution to raise an
army by draft and send it across
the seas into foreign lands, there

to engage in military operations
which do not involve protection of
the lives or property or rights of
the citizens in this country.
Ought to Volunteer.
"The aviation corps is a service
to which men ought always to vol
unteer, or they ought never to be
employed in it. 1t is service
which calls for special and partie-
ular qualifications a service that
depends for its efficiency upon
temperamental qualities. Men for
the aviation service-for subma-
rine service, as well-ought to be
secured by voluntary Offering [
have no doubt that they can be Sc
cured. Indeed, since this bill
was called up here the other day
/ have had a communication from
Earl Hamilton Smith, the secre-
tary Of the National Aerial Coast
Patrol Commission, in which it is
set forth that there is already a
longer list of voluntary offerings
for this particular service than the
army and navy have found it pos
sible to handle.
"There are from five to ten
times as many applicants as there
are places to fill whenever there is
call for flying students, so there
exists no necessity to impress men
into this service. !"
The expression Of such senti
ments regarding the draft caused
Senator Fletcher to have read to
the Senate the following article
from the Waycross, Ca, journal
Herald:
sHere is consolation for every
man who has registered and ex-
poets to be drafted in the great
war lottery this month. It comes
from an Atlanta boy who has been
on the firing line in France and
knows what he is talking about:
"You have two alternatives i
either you are drafted or you are

worry about. If you are drafted,
