Same Officials Who
 Conducted Draft Will
 Work Out Exemptions

Montgomery, June 26.-(Special) Governor Henderson informed the war department Tuesday that he had de- cided to appoint as members of the exemption boards in Alabama the per sons who served as members of the registration boards for the registra- tion of those of military age. This means that the sheriff, circuit clerk and county health officer will have control of the exemption of persons who have been drafted for service in the new national army.
 Many persons were anxious to avoid this service, fearing the political ef feet as many persons would not be pleased with the decisions of the board even if favorable or unfavorable. Gov ernor Henderson, after a conference with military men, decided that the selection of the registration boards as exemption boards would be the proper solution of the problem.
 The exemption boards of registra- tion areas smaller than the counties will be the same as before. Birming- ham will have six exemption boards, Mobile two and Montgomery one ex- elusive of the county boards. Persons who do not like the decisions of the exemption boards may appeal to dis trict boards. which will be appointed by the President

WIPES RELIEF IS CAUSE OF TURNER
 TAKING TAN[AC q Knew When It Did Her So Much Good It Was
 Just the Thing for
 Me-" He Says

After my wife gained 31 pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and got relief from her four years of suffering, I knew I'd better take it myself" said S. B. Turner a painter living at 112 Thirty-f1rst street, Savannah Ga. For I needed it about as bad as anybody you ever saw.
 T had indigestion for eight years and had tried all kinds of remedies without getting relief l couldn't eat anything but little milk and eggs and I was getting worse all the time. was nervous and irritable and didn't sleep well at night, and my head would swim so I was afraid to risk myself on my ladder. had rheu- matism in my right leg so bad I could hardly get about and I was down in weight and so weak I had to force my self to keep out of bed.
 But after I began taking Tanlac 1t wasn't long before felt better. All my nervousness is gone and I can sleep fine every night, my appetite was never bet ter and I can eat anything without a sign of indigestion. Headaches are gone and I haven't had a dizzy spell since I began taking Tanlac I can go up and down my ladder as good as ever now and I've gained Is pounds in weight"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensey by D. w Morris Drug company; in Bes- semer by Pegra m-Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company.-Adv.

He invited the government to tell the country something about these opera tions.

Wallstein, who is con- ducting Mayor Mitchers investigation into the police handling of the case, an- nounced tonight that he would ask Po- lice Commissioner Woods to place the detective on trial on charges of gross and willful negligence"

 Asked if he had been working on the theory that Ruth Cruger was a run away girl, Lagarenne replied: T be- lieved she might have been enticed away"
 Lagarenne said he did not recall whether Henry D. Cruger, the murdered girls father, had told him he believed his daughter had met with foul play i'll Cocchs shop. He said he had made a thorough search of the place and could find nothing that might have been used to kill the girl. He was asked why he did not ask Cocchi to remove the tool bench that covered the hole where Ruth Cruger was buried.

BRITISH HBLUNDERS IN MESOPOTAM|A
 TOLD IN REPORT
Scathing and Outspoken Is Summary of Result of Investigation Made
 on Campaign

London, June 26-The most scathing and outspoken report of the investiga- tion of any military operations since the war began, not even excluding the re- port on the ill-fated Dardanelles expedi- ton, was made public in a bluebook is- sued tonight. This was the report of the commission that has been investigat- ing the Mesopotamia expedition.
 Put briefly, the report finds that the expedition was a justifiabe military en terprise, but was undertaken with in sufficient forces and inadequate prepa- ration and that its initial failure, with the loss of Kut, was due to lack of fore sight, to mistakes and miscalculations. The report frankly declares that the shortcomings revealed reflect discredit upon the organizing aptitude of all con- cerned, and apportions the chief respon- sibility on General Nixon, the former commander of the British forces in Meso- potamia, and upon the viceroy of India, Lord Hardinge, and the commander in chief in India, Gen. Sir Beauchamp Dun.
