new EXEMPTION RULES
LAW FRAMED IN INTEREST OF
THE NATION.
Renewed Emphasis Placed on Neces.
sity Of Being More Strict by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington. - Renewed emphasis
was laid by Provost Marshal General
Crowder upon the fact that Congress
framed the army draft law in the in
terest of the nation, not in the indi-
vidual. For that reason the lines are
being drawn tight in the matter of g
emptions.
The government has acted slowly in
bringing home to the people the rigid
character of the draft act. There has
been much discussion of the problem,
laws purpose which assumed that
married men, for instance, would be
exempted without question and that
the burden of military duty was to be
carried fully by the single men
among the ten million registered.
Gen. Crowder has taken the position
In recent rulings that married men
will be exempted only when it Is to
the interest of the government that
they should be excused from service.
from his family circles would result
in the family becoming a public bur
den, it is to the interest of the gov
eminent to leave him in his civil occu-
patton, so as not to care for his de-
pendents.
An Interpretation similarly rigid
has o been placed upon exemptions
for industrial reasons.

BILL IS SIGNED
HERBERT c. HOOVER NAMED
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR.
GAMBLING and Waste Must End and
Profiteers Must Adopt Principles
Of Patriotism.

Washington, Aug. 11.-President
Wilson signed the food control bill
and Immediately thereafter an
nounced the formal appointment OF
Herbert c. Hoover as United States
food administrator
Immediately following his appoint
mcnt, Mr.. Hoover, who has been serv-
ing for months as voluntary food di-
rector of the nation, issued a vigorous
statement, declaring it to be the in
t,ntiOn of the authorized food admin
istratiOn to fight war prOfiteers to the
last ditch and to force them to adopt
patriotic principles that are influence
ing the majority of Americas bust
ness men at this time.
The statement followed a confer
once with the President, at which the
policy to be followed in directing the
country's food supply was considered
in great detail.
That war time demands will not be
suffered to fix the basis of prices for
the supply of commodities was made
clear in the statement.
The food commission does not in
tend to proceed at once with a host
of punitive measures against hoard
ers and others responsible for the
high price of commodities but by
of regulations affecting di.
the ordinary processes of COM
merce it hopes so to effect the pro-
duction and sale of wheat and other
commodities that gambling, extortion
and other wasteful practices will be
as far as possible through
natural measures.
Schedules of regulations affecting
wheat, sugar, fats, meats and some
few other principal commodities are
expected to be promulgated as soon
as they can be perfected.
The big problem before the cou
try, he sets forth, Is that Of assuring
pur allies of enough food to carry On
the war they are waging for us as
well as on their own part.

PREPARED TO SEIZE HARVEST.
Hoover Announces Plans for Control
of Wheat, Flour and Bread.


INSTRUMENTATION c. Hoover
food administrator, announced the
plans for the control of wheat, flour
and bread. They are specific and
comprehensive. They have been
worked out fully in view of the dis
rupting and disturbing conditions of
the European var and the part this
country still has to play. They pro
vide:
l. For the vigorous prosecution of
all persons who hold more wheat and
flour than is required in their normal
business.
2. For the maintenance of a fair
price throughout the country, by seiz-
ing, if necessary, the entire 1917 har-
vest and determining the cost to the
consumer.
8. For food administration agencies
at the principal wheat terminals
throughout the country.
4. For the restriction Of storage to
thirty days unless special permit is
given by the food administration.
5. For the elimination of %specula-
ton by compelling all mills and ele-
vators with more than 100 barrels
daily capacity to take out a govern
ment license.
The regulations will go into effect
on Sept. |.
Mr.. Hoover believes that by rigid
application of the regulations the
price of wheat can be stabilized
throughout the year.
With the price of wheat stabilized
it is believed that the price of flour
will conform and thus a stabilized

western newspaper nl"n News Service.
Rome, Aug. 15.-Peace proposals
made by Pope Benedict have been de-
livered to all the belligarent govern
ments.
The Pope suggests restoration OF
Belgium, Serbia and Rumania, and
peaceful solution of the problems OF
Alsace-Lorraine, Trent, Trieste and
Poland. according to reports received
from Vatican sources.
The Pope's peace appeal proposes
that there be no anncXations and no
indemnities except in special cases,
such as Belgium and Serbia; the re-
turn TO Germany of her colonies in oy-
change for the occupied departments
of France; freedom of the seas: dis
armament, and the formation OF a Su-
preme Court OF Arbitration for the set
Element OF future international dis.
putes.
Washington, Aug. Ian unofficial
outline of Pope Benedict's peace pro-
pOsals received here discloscs that the
pontiff includes somc of the princi-
pies of world peace for which Presi-
dent Wilson has declared,
Among the Pope's proposals are re-
duction of ornaments, freedom of the
seas and that there shall be no retail
atory struggle after the war for world
commercial supremacy, These are re
Earded as the foundation one Of the
Pope's plan.
In eloquent language the pontiff de-
scribes the terrible condition existing
in Europe, which he declares is head
ed for destruction unless the bellig-
erents are willing to listen to the APP
peals of disintcrested friends to cease
a suicidal war. Such conditions, the
pope feels, amply justify him in tax
ing the present opportunity to suggest
what may be, he hopes, at least Il
foundation upon which peace negotia-
tons may be initiated.
At best Pope Bencdict's proposals
are only suggested as a rough basis
for such negotiations and he realizes
that the details in all their completely
must be worked out patiently and in
a spirit of Cancellation by tie bellig-
erents themselves.
Unqualified approval of President
Wilson's plan for the avoidance of fu-
ture wars by some form of interna-
tional organizations which shall have
behind 1t the necessary power to en-
force It's judgments, is given by Pope
Benedict, who declares that along
with such a splendid project must go
an effective arrangement for reduc-
ton OF ornaments to a point just suf-
ficient for defensive purposes or to
carry out the mandates of the world
court.
1t is inconceivable. the pope holds,
that any permanent peace can be
maintained unless the various peo-
piles are willing to gather in an amity
founded upon a recognition Of ma
tional rights.
