CAUSE SHOWN FOR EXEMPTION
ON DEPENDENT GROUNDS.

The policy of President Wilson on
the phase of exemption from serv-
ice because of dependents is clearly
and conclusively set forth in the
following paragraph which appears
in his recent communication to Pro-
vost Marshal-General Crowder:
eve ought, as far as practicable,
to raise this national army without
creating the hardships necessarily
entailed when the head of the family
is taken, and | hope that for the
most part those accepted in the first
call will be found to be such men
who have not yet assumed such re-
lations."

tv is expected to furnish has not yet
been announced, but the Brandon COM
ranv will have the run of the north
end of the county below Pittsford,
while Company B will canvass the
southern tier of towns.
1t was thought last night that an

by Company B.
The plans include an advertising and
poster campaign, with rallies in vaTi.
Gus towns on Tuesday next week, and
a big rally in Rutland armory on
Wednesday evening next week. The
towns outside of Rutland will be han,

TO SAVE FUEL
Churchs in Village of Springfield Expect
to Unite.

SPRINGFIELD, Dee. I'm n meet.
ing of the trustees of the Methodist
Episcopal church, a resolution was pre-
scented by the pastor, Rev. w. R. Daven-
port. The resolution was in effect that
in view of the suggestion of State Fuel
Administrator Hugh J. NJ. Jones. the
churches of Springfield combine in
union services to economic on fuel and
to avoid unnecessary duplication of 9TH
er expenses.
The trustees of the Methodist church
have invited the Congregational and
universalist churches to unite on Sun
days and to use their edifce for any
other services during the week, since
this action seems advisable.
Rev. Henry A. Parkhurst, pastor of
the Universalist church, has obtained
permission of his society to enter the
employ of the First National bank, with
the intention Of turning his earnings
over to the Red Cross work or for other
war causes. Rev K. A. Beardsley, pas
tor of the Congregational church, has
entered the employ of one of the local
machine shops. His earnings will be
used in the same way. The action of
these ministers releases other men for
military duty.
