Fully tine OF the married men. both

they would be- glad to 80 today to
serve their country II they were given
any assurance that their wives and
children would be provided for in
their absence. The fact that such =
large percentage OF the men drafted
are married has amazed the nation
and constitutes an immediate and per.
picking problem. when estimates
were made Of the nations resources
in man-power. no thought was given
to the large number OF young men
who have already answered the call
to arms and are now serving under
the flags of the United States and
her allies. over one million men have
volunteered for service in the several
branches Of the hghting forces. OF
this number less than f1ve hundred
thousand have been accepted. but tho
others are disqualified because Of ply
steal disabilities. This fact reduces
the nercentage of draft eligibles much
than it appears to at a glance. The
million men who volunteered were
practically all WITHOUT ucpchueHIS oT
RESPONSIBILITIES and the majority OF
them within the draft age limit. The
elimination of one million men who
are free OF dependent relatives from
the nations total OF ten million, re-
duces the percentage of tie-fess draft
eiiribles to a distressing minimum.
For instance, II II is estimated that
az per cent of ten million men will
be passed physically have no grounds
for Exemption. the elimination OF a
solid million tie-less individuals has
the same effect as II four million were
deducted, Irrespective of their con"
dition.
In view of these facts, Chairman
Ellerson last night announced his In
tention OF going over the situation
today with Governor Stuart and At
torney- General Pollard with view
to having them take the matter up
with the authorities In Washington
and endeavor to start nation-wids
movement to take immediate and
drastic steps to meet this unlocked
for exigency in the draft problem.
Mr.. Ellyson said that, in his opinion,
the first and most important remedial
measure would be TO appropriate a
sum for the maintenance and sup
port of the wives and children Of
married men who stood ready to fight
for their country. II their country
would care for their dear ones

and would rebuke BY voting for Mr.. Pollard
II is difficult to understand how, Mr. Hough says
as fine Christian gentleman Mr. Pollard has
the reputation to be- could coldly and deliberately
shape plan to secure votes by a slanderous
tack upon the reputation OF a whose only con-
nection with public life has been in reference to
moral issues Any Christian would have sup
considered whether the governorshp itself was
worth obtaining at such a sacrifice not only of the
influence and reputation of DR. Cannon, not only of
the efficiency OF the Anti-saloon League of Virginia
but OF his own common decency and self-respect.
But there are the facts Mr.. Pollard has made
the charge. Mr.. Pollard has attempted to prove
the charges Mr.. Pollard has attempted to prove
by damaging the reputation and influence of Dr.
Cannon. The prohibition voters of Virginia must
decide whether DIR. Cannon has made any attack
on Mr.. Pollard is officer of the Anti Saloon
League tried to influence men against HIM
They must also decide why Mr. Pollard thought II
all right for Mr.. Hepburn and other officers and
members of the Anti-Saloon League to use their
i-fuence for him and vet when DIR. Cannon stated
that he proposed Mr. Ellyson he was
dominated by the organization"

The opinion was expressed there to-
day that this may be an overestmate
and that later figures when the boards

the percentages.

The report of the enormous exemp-

that in the majority Of instances. the
men are wholly justified in presenting
their claims and do so from no desire
