Maj. {. b. Warren Directed the
Work of Formulating Ex-
emptiOn Procedure

Charles q. Warren. OF Detroit. a
major In the judge advocates de
partment OF the army. is chief OF
the stan OF attorneys and military
men who formulated the exemption
rules for the selective draft. The
rules were completed several days
ago and placed in the hands OF the
president. The president and the
cabinet are now going over the
rules. and II Is expected they will
be made public in day OF two. but
as yet the draft exemption boards
have no idea OF what they contain.
At the once OF Mr.. Warren In
Detroit, his secretary, II. l. Bsrdan.
who visited him in Washington a
week ago, said that at that time Mr..
Warren would not make public any
OF the clauses In the rules until the
president and secretary OF war and
navy had passed upon them.
Mr.. Berdan said. however, that
Mr.. Warren and his associates had
spent a great deal of valuable time
going over the rules employed In
the Civil war draft as well as those
employed in England. with the idea
OF getting all the good points OF
each. and avoiding the mistakes. Mr.
Warren told him that II would seem
almost impossible 10 adopt rules
that would satisfy every one OF the
100000 men subject 10 draft. but
they worked hard In an effort 10

Louis Schneider, proprietor OF a
saloon and cafe at No. 116 Wood
ward-ave.. which was complained OF
by Police Commissioner Couzens in
a letter TO the mayor on June 27,

thieves Is absolutely false. He de.
clares that he has cleaned his place
up and did II OF his own volition.
Mr.. Schneider has written TO the po-
lice commissioner and has sent
copies TO the newspapers in which
the commissioner complaint was
published, demanding a public re-
traction from Mr. Couzens.
In his letter TO the mayor MI
Couzens asked that the licenses OF

evening when Capt McDuffie of the

young Chinese girl The latter admit
ted she was the mother OF the baby
girl after an examination by Police

declared she did not wantonly aban-
don the child and watched it until the
Japanese woman rescued it from the

Sunday night Deputy Sheriff Asch
was the center OF a quarrel between
the Japanese woman who found the
baby and a Hawaiian woman who
liked its looks as to who was to keep
il. Now it may go back to it's mother
II the father Is discovered McDuffie
and Juvenile court authorities are in

Il do not wonder now that the Jap

about keeping the baby without her
husbands consent for fear It was not

evidently it is Chinese child"

VACANT LONDON LAND
TURNED INTO GARDENS
TO RELIEVE SHORTAGE
CBy Associated Press1

LONDON, England.-The scarcity
of foodstuffs has led the board of ag
rieulture to empower local authorities
to use vacant building land for food
crops. The vacant land cultivation
society, pet scheme of the late 10
seph Fels, who was widely known in
the United States, has already been
entrusted by the government with the
whole work in London, and will be
able, through the London county coun-
Gil, to acquire any untaxed land that
is suitable. The society allots small
pieces of land to families for cultiva-
ton purposes. At present the society
has about 500 holders working some
80 acres around London. -.-..~.a &.
Apart from public gardens and
parks there are $4,000 acres of idle
land in London, and experience has
shown that London land is capable Of
producing at war prices well over $500
worth of food per acre. So great is
the public interest in the scheme that
the vacant land society is being
showed. under by applications from
every kind of person, many of them
"land-hungry" countrymen settled In
London.
