HALF OF THOSE
WHO SIGN ROLLS
CLAIM EXEMPTION
These Include All Married
Men and Others in State.
and National Offices

Washington, June S.-When the
office of the Provost Marshal GEN
eral closed last night only seven
states and the District of Columbia
had made complete reports of Tues
days registration.
These complete reports showed
that S16,407 had registered, as
against the census estimate for that
territory of s4S,917. This very slight
falling off in seven states was en-
couraging to the Provost Marshars
staff. They said it indicated that
the promised 100000 would be
forthcoming.
Returns came in so slowly that
anything approaching a conclusive
estimate is prevented, but the off,
cials are now satisfied that the en-
rollmen has fulfilled expectations.
Fifty Per Cent. Claim Exemptions
A feature of the few complete re-
turns is in the high percentage of
indicated exemptions, averaging ap-
proximately so per cent. of the total
TeBlStTatlOn.
Officials pointed out, however.
that this did not mean actual ex-
emptions, as the indicated figures
include all married men and those
in executive, judicial or legislative
office. Until exemption regulations
have been promulgated, 1t will be
impossible to say how many of these
will be included in those to be
marked off the military rolls.
The one conclusive result of the
registration that cannot be altered
in the slightest degree by any pos
sible variation from the estimates is
that millions of young Americans
have put In their names. claiming no
exemptions and stating no reason
for release from war service.
In regard to the married men,
Secretary Baker said, that in all the
letters he had received on the sub
ject of exemption, not one even
suggested that marriage should es-
tablish a class exemption. He add
ed that 1t was not the purpose of
the department to make such a rul-
ing, but that individual cases would
be dealt with on their merit, no mat
ter what the reason for exemption
might be.

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white makes
a whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small Jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to
strain the lemon juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sal
lowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener. smoothener and beau
tifier.
Just try 1t! Make I'D a quarter pint
OF this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion

This Isn't War, But Bad,

In destroying military roads, trenches

Northern France, the Germans are justi-
fed by legitimate war necessity.
In destroying farms. farming tools. or
chards and other property of little or no
use in warfare and essential in the re-
Mobilization of peace. the Germans are
sowing seed the reaping of which will be
the whirlwind.
II has been the declared purpose Of
England to wipe out Germany.
This sentiment has not dominated the
French.
France has been fighting for self
preservation and restoration of her lost
provinces.
But the wanton and permanent ruin of
her northern territory must breed in all
Frenchmen hatred so deadly that only
similar ruin of Germany can satisfy IT.
