SELECTED MEN OFFER

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, July 2S-The gray ity of the task which faces members of local draft exemption boards is called to their attention in solemn language in communication sent broadcast by the war department and made public tonight by Provost Marshal General ErOwder
 "The selected man offers his life ; says General Crowder. Tt will strengthen you to remember that for every exemption or discharge that is made for individual convenience, or to escape personal loss of money or prop erty, or for favor or affection, some other man whose time would not otn- erv1se have come, must incur the risk of losing his life.''
 The boards are told that they are not courts to adjust differences between two persons in controversy. You, acting for the government" says the communication, "are to investigate each case in the interests of the nation and never the interests of an individual
 General Crowder closes with the dec 1aration that the nation needs men quickly and the boards will receive lit tie praise and some blame. Your only reward he said, must be the knoWl- edge that at great personal sacrifice you are rendering your country an in disDensable service in a matter of the utmost moment"
 President Wilson tonight issued an executive order directing government officials to exercise the greatest care" in issuing exemption affidavits to en- ploye in the civil executive departments, emphasizing the high national im- portance of carrying out the spirit Of the selectiVe service act and of Secur- ing it's fullest effectiveness by holding 10 military service all drafted men who are not absolutely indispensable" to department work. He says discharges should be reduced to the minimum number consistent with the mainten- ance of vital national interests during the emergency of war.
 Tt is earnestly hoped, moreover the order concludes, that acting in the same spirit as the federal departmental officials, all citizens who may be ca led upon as employers under Section A of the regulations to make affidaVits for securing the discharge of persons deemed to be indispensable to national industrial interests, during the emer- gency will exercise the same conscien- tious and scrupulous caution, to the end that there will appear to be no fav- ored or exempted class among the citi- zens called by law to the national de- fense."
 General Crowder's communication, mailed to all boards reads as follows:
 You are entering on a difficult task, the gravity of which is beyong anything that can be said in the way of discus sion You realize the significance of what you are to do and you know that a responsibility heavier perhaps than any you have ever faced, is upon you
 War demands individual sacrifice to the common cause. No people ever approached war with a calmer appre- Ciation of that sacrifice or firmer re- solve to bear it and to present them selves to be classified for service in the place to which it shall best serve the

ty men, but Premier Kerensky insisted that they must be independent of par ty dictation to which the constitutional democrats are said to have agreed.
 A common program has not yet been decided upon. The chief obstacle is said to be the socialist minister of ag- riculture, NJ. Tchernoff, and his policy, which was denounced by Prince Klvoff, the former premier, as calculated to in jure the cOuntry's productivity. The official statement says that Tchernoff may be given another post.
 The convocatiOn of the Moscow con- ference is threatened by the objection of M. Rodzianko, president of the du- ma, and other members of the duma to be invited as private citizens. The lat ter desires that the entire duma be invited as a still existing legislative EOdy.

ROY NELSON DIES
 BY ELECTROCUT|ON
 0|V NORTH CENTRAL

Entanged in the meshes of a live wire torn down by the recent storm, Roy Nelson, the 14year- old son of D. E. Nelson, living on Central ave- nue opposite the Osborn school, was so badly burned last evening by the electric current that he died In an hour.
 The accident was one of the most frigbtfuI imaginable for the fingers of the left hand were literally burned off by the sparkling wire with his high voltage electrical energy and the flesh over the lads heart and the upper part of his abdomen was actually cooked by the current. It was impossible for the boy to have pulled away from the wire once he came in contact with it and he could not be torn loose until so badly burned that there was no chance of saving his life.
 The accident happened at about Z o'clock last evening and by 8 o'clock the boy had passed away, suffering terribly until the end came from the combined effect of electric shock and the burns.
 pr. Louis Dysart and pr. George Woodall, the latter of the Phoenix Sanitarium which is situated not far from the scene of the accident, were summoned and did what was humanly possible to save the life of the youth but the boy was beyond all aid.
 The wire which caused the young mans death had not been noticed in time to be replaced. 1t was one of those power lines disarraneed dur ing the storm of Thursday night wnen several power lines were car ried down in this section of the valley.

PETROGRAD, July 2S.-The motive for postponing the extraordinary Rus sian national congress at Moscow is the desire of the provisional govern ment to reconstruct the cabinet with stronger men, including members of the constitutional democratic party. Negotiations looking to this end pro- ceeded throughout yesterday and last night, cabinet members and represen- tatives and members of the leading parties taking part. The constitution al democrats have agreed to re-enter the cabinet.
 Among the new ministers. according to an official statement by the govern ment, probably will be General Vladi- mir Maboukoff. first secretary general of the revolutionary cabinet and M. As troff, mayor of Moscow. These are par

There was no violence reported, al though police protection was furnished at all the switching yards.

Gerard's Protest.
A report from James w. Gerard,
former United States ambassador to
German, is quoted relating that he
spoke to the German chancellor about
these deportations as being absolutely
outrageous. He says he believes they
were stopped, but 10000 or more per-
sons were not returned to their homes
for months afterwards. In an address
on his return to America he said that
it required the joint efforts of the
pope, the king of Spain and President
Wilson to cause the return of these
people to their homes. Mr.. Gerard
later saw that some press agency had
come out with the article saying that
he had made false statements about
this matter because these people were
not returned to their homes as result

course of it occurs the following:

Persons Taken haphazard.
Each family, drawn up outside the

who pointed out haphazard the per-

express the barbarity OF this proceed

scenes which occurred. Young men
and girls took hasty farewell Of their
parents-a farewell hurried by the
German soldiers who were executing
the infamous task-rejoined the group
of those who were going and found
themselves in the middle Of the street

BILLIE BURKE HERE ..... AT THE LYCEUM

Arms and the Girl" Billie Burke's most recent motion picture feature production came to New Britain this afternoon for the first time, and a big audience branded 1t a master piece, worthy of the star whose name i1 linked with the title. Miss Burke, after being initiated into the silent art in The Mysterious Miss Terry" ap- pears in an entirely different sort of role In this. her second story, and scores as great a success as she did in her first picture.
 When the tension snapped in Eu- rope of 1914, and the Teuton hordes 0warmOd over the plains of Ger many into Belgium, there were three Americans in that little country. There may have been more, and no doubt there were, but only three are dealt with in this story. Ruth Sherwood and her hance, members of tour ists' party. and Wilfred Ferrers, an American travelling alone were among the people unable to leave Belgium. \ Then the Germans arrive and the time for explanations comes. Un- able to explain the Russian name on the passport, the American girl poses as Terriers f1ancee and the Germans. calling her bluff demanded that they be married. They are obliged to acQuiesce, and with Miss Sherwood momentari1y expecting the arrival of her real fiance, things look interesting. The terrible actions of the Germans in suffering Belgium play an impor- tant in the action that follows, and before the story ends, the married couple really fall In love with each other.
 Joseph Kaufman, who directed this picture, gets some wonderful war ef- fleets. The timeliness Of the theme. make the film one that holds the in- terest throughout. The fact that this war story deals with happenings of this century, not of wars of our forefa- thers or of our ancestors of years ago. There is personal interest here that grips and holds It is triumph that will retain It's popularity for years.

MARY ANDERSON AT
 F0x's TOMORROW

Another exceptional show will open at Foxs tomorrow for two days. Heading the bill will be a big Vita graph Blue Ribbon feature,> Sun lights Last Raid," in which that charming young beauty, Mary Ander- son, is starred. It is vivid repre- sentation of the great Wild West, thrilling and exciting beyond com pare. Outlaws, border raids, pitched battles and hair-breadth escapes are all there in the proper proportion and presented in such a realistic manner as to make one fairly gasp for breath while he wonders if the next stunt can be as daBing as the last.
 The eighteenth chapter of The Fatal Ring will also be big attrac- tion. As there are only twenty chap ters in the story, the action IS intensl- fled in the remainder, and Pearl White is setting everything for a big, red-hot wind-up.
 Another interesting feature of the program will be the first of a new series of Fables in Slang" written by that most accomplished slangster George Ade, whose works have long since won great popularity in the Cos mopolitan magazine and many other popular periodicals.
 Mutt and Jeff and the Pathe News will also be shown.
