HOPE TO FINISH
 EXAMINING HERE. IN CURRENT WEEK.
Saturday Expected to Wind Up
 Work of Local Exemption Boards.


 it Is hoped by exemption boards that physical examination for the se- lection of Bridgeport men for the national army, which started here Aug. 2. will end this week. Some of the divisions will hold examinations and re- examinations during the week and all expect to be finished with that part of. the work by Saturday. That is the last day for filing of exemption claim evidence with any board and thereafter the boards can proceed without delay to pass on the exemp- ton claims and certify men for ser-i vice.
 The situation of the six exemption divisions of the city may be sum- marked as follows:
 First division has certified 16S men for service and today started exam nations of 1.200 more men. These will conclude Thursday. The board is now passing on exemption claims filed by those already examined and found physically fit, who have not been certified.
 The Second division is checking up all facts about 800 men examined and will certify some men within a day or two. It will be determined W4ClAACT UT nv AAAOAo AAiCAi WAA " called. but the expectation is that no- tices will be sent to 200 additional men to appear.
 The Third division work is pro- eeeding and within a few days an- nouncement will be made of the men accepted for service.
 The Fourth division announced 250 men accepted for service Saturday and win conduct other examinations starting at the Read school tomorrow. Those who did not appear on the first call may do so tomorrow before be- ing certified for service.
 The Fifth and Sixth divisions are not encountering difficulties aside from shortage of the material with which to work. They have not enough of the necessary affidavit forms, but so far as it Is within the powers of the boards they are speed ing up their work. The, delays that will result from the lack of forms cannot be charged to board members and they declare that their work won't be more delayed for any cause which they can control

FAVOR ISSUANCE OF BONDS RATHER
 THAN TAXATION
Congressional Leaders Pre-. fer to Raise Money For
 War That Way.

Washington, Aug. 1s. General de- bate on the $2.oos, ,s7o,ooo war tax bill began in the senate today. Senator Simmons, in charge of the measure, having finished his opening statement Saturday. The leaders are hopeful of passage of the bill inside of two weeks but many seantors doubt whether this can be accomplished under a month.
 Secretary McAdoo will confer with Chaidman Kitchin of the house com mittee on ways and means probably tomorrow regarding plans for raising part of the additional s6,000, 100000 re- quired to meet war expenses until July l, 1918. How much will be asked for by the secretary to meet present needs is not known. but it may be as much as s2 1000. 900, ,000.
 Senate and house leaders stand ready to cooperate in putting throush legislation for any reasonable sum that the administration may desire. They strongly favor the raising of the additional funds by issuance of bonds and certificates of Indebtedness rather than by taxation.

For a like high purpose, the Amerf- can people have entered into the pres ent war against the German govern ment-a government which in our be-
 lief misrepresents and misleads the German people. Only by so doing can we make America and the world tsafe for democracy" But one ending can be thought of-an ending that will guarantee the continuance of all those principles and rights which the Amer jean Army has in the past so nobly fought to establish.
 Never lose sight, even for an instant, of the fact that all your training, your efforts. ard your sacrifices have this one great object in view, the attain ment of which is worth anything it may cost.

LESSON 1 Your Post of Honor

You are called to serve as a soldier in the National Army. because that is one of your obligations as citizen of the United States. The citizen of a republic must always be ready in the hour of need to leave their own homes and take up arms in defense of their rights and principles. Otherwise the Republic could not long continue to exist. The men who now enter mili- tary service deserve the gratitude and respect of their fellow citizens.
 You are doubtless making a heavy sacrifice in order to perform this duty to your country. Hundreds of thou sands of other young men and their families are face to face with similar sacrifices. All our citizens will soon- CT or later be called upon, each to bear his or her share of the burden. Men and women,, rich and poor, all alike must do whatever is necessary and must give up whatever is necessary For no personal interests or feelings can be permitted to stand in the way at time when the safety and honor of the country are at stake.
 As a citizen soldier you are chosen for post of special distinction. Amer ica is justly proud of the soldiers o1 the past who have won for us the right today denied and put in serious danger by the high-handed attacks ot the German government. America will be no less proud of you, as vol fight to uphold those rights.
 Your personal responsibility is great AS warfare is today conducted, the in diyidual soldier counts for more thar ever before. Your own skill and bray cry, no matter how humble your rank may easily be important factors in de ciding whether an engagement is to b. won or lost. You can not depend up on anyone else to carry this persona responsibility for you; you must de pend upon yourself.

 In all these cases medals of honor were granted. The incidents, however, are typical of the army. Thousands of similar stories might be told. They represent the spirit that will inspire the National Army when the time comes to show the stuff of which it is made.
 Tales of heroic courage can be found in the annals of all armies and of all nations. But the American ar my has it's own special tradition, which these incidents illustrate. It is the tradition of intelligence, se1f-ren- ance, and individual daring on the part of men serving in the ranks. The Individual Soldier Counts Other things being equal. an army made up of self-reliant, thinking men has a great advantage over merely machine-like army, and this is espec- ially true in present-day warfare. Maj. Gen. Hung L. Scott, Chief of Staff, U. S. A.,iremarks on this point:
 "The conditions under which mod ern wars are fought are ever making Increasing demands on the individual soldier. : * The individual soldier must know how to interpret accurately orders and signals. for the enemy's fire may often isolate him from his leader and comrades perhaps only a step away, that he may be thrown on his own initiative in making his actions conform to those of the whole line he may have to use his own judgment in opening fire, in advancing, in in trenching.''
 Fair Play
 A second tradition of the American Army, which need only be mentioned, is that of fighting fairly and treat ing even the enemy with as much hu- manit as his own conduct will permit. As for slaughtering or enslaving the civilian population of captured terri tory, attacking prisoners. or assaulting women, American soldiers would as little commit such crimes in time of war as in time of peace. In this re- spect most of the civilized nations of the world think alike.
 Fighting for Rights and Principles
 There is a third splendid tradition 
 help to carry forward. It has fought always and everywhere in defense of principles and rights-never. merely for territory and for power. Even the Civil War resulted from the clash of opposing principles-the principle of an indivisible Union upheld by the North, and that of freedom to with draw from the Union upheld by the South
 To protect the rights of citizens, the American people have several times opposed tyrannical governments-the English government in 1776 and 1872 the French government for a short period in 1798, the Mexican govern ment in 184S, the Spanish govern ment in 1898. The final effect in each case has been to advance the cause o1 liberty and democracy throughout the world, even in the countries against which we fought. Our weapons have not willingly been turned against any peoples, but only against the rulers who misgoverened and misled them In fighting for our own rights, the American army has fought also, 1T President Wilson's phrase, for ths
 rights of mankind"
