Biggest Problem of All.

Probably the point in the whole
process which has led to the greatest
misunderstanding and CONFUSION is the
system by which industrial exemption
Is to be granted. Many persons have
regarded it as certain that men in
munition making or other strictly war
Industries would he exempted as
class. That Is not the fact What is to
govern the process is the importance
of the individual in such an industry
If another man could take his place
without prejudice to the work of the
plant he Will not be granted military
exemption.
To make this policy effective, the
superior and not the local boards were
assigned the task of saying whether
or not a man should be retained al
his desk or his bench The bulk or
exemptions will be for physical mint
ness and on account of dependents.
and consideration of these causes VIII
keep the local boards fully occupied
leaving to the more deliberative SUI
perior boards the entire handling OF
the much more vexing questions of
Industrial exemption.

Senator Kenyon OF Iowa, discussing the

bers Of the advisory committee Of the
council of national defense from making
contracts for the government in which
they or their firms were interested. an
nounced that he would offer q resolution
to investigate the transactions already

He denied that he was charging any
Of tho business men who have como to
Washington to aid the government with
wrongdoing. Charges have been made,
however, he said, that some of these
men were making contracts with the
government for their own benefit
mo one wants to prevent the gov
eminent from having the advice and
services OF these great and successful
business men," said Senator Kenyon.
but the American people are entitled
to have contracts for their government
made fairly"
Senator Kenyon gave the Senate a list
of contracts entered into by the gov
eminent for shoes in which 1t was
shown that q contract was awarded the
McElwain Company of Boston for
100. 900 pairs Of shoes at Is cents a pair
higher than the lowest bidder. j. F.
McElwain. president OF the company, is

s.sekins exemption and the cas-. will

Eseelsing exemption and the case Will
Ebe heard promptly.
The government has distributed to all
local boards complete sets of blanks to
cover appeals, transfers and any other
matters in connection with the process.
Full Instructions for filing out any
form of blank and specific instructions
as 60 the manner in which each is to be
used also have been provided. Regis
trants may examine these at the quar-
tiers of local boards, but every EFFORT
has been made to prevent the filing OF
afi1davits or other documents that do
not apply to a case actually under con-
alteration. Otherwise the boards would
be swamped with efforts to get deci-
sion in advance.
1t was for this reason that the regu-
lations provided that no man could
come up for examination In any way
before either local or superior boards
until he actually was summoned for
military duty

NO CITY Of WASHINGTON
SHOWN IN PROCLAMATION
Representative Ben Johnson's Letter
to President, With Suggestion,
Probably Prevails.

There is no city OF Washington on
the map. There has been no city Of
washington since February Fl. 1871
Representative Ben johnson of the com
mittee on affairs of the District of Co
lumbia says so. The President concurs.
For the first time in history a proc
lamation by tho President is dated "in
the District of Columbia" and not
washington. ID. c." 1t is significant.
Probably every other proclamation is
sued by the President will bear the
same date.
1t Is to be assumed that Representa-
tive Johnsons views prevailed. He
says, in a letter to the President:
For some years now L have noticed
that the President In issuing procla-
nations and commissions. says: Done
at the city of Washington. d. c.
Since February u, 1871. there has
been no City of Washington

Missouri senator had not denounced
the food administrators ability or i'm
peached his integrity.
Senator Phelan denied that the Bel
