HARDING WILL
PROBE CLAIMS
Governor Appoints Former Assistant
Attorney General to Push
Exemption Appeals to
President.

President Wilson has issued an
order providing that an individual
who believes that the local or dis.
trict exemption board has erroneous
ly interpreted the law, and that he
is thereby wongfully held to military
service. may ask the governor to re-
open his case. If the governor is
satisfied, after examining the state
ments and af1ldavits filed by the
claimant, that the law was misin-
terpreted in the case he may direct
the local or district baord to reopen
said case and in connection with this
order must show the board wherein
the law was enormously Interpreted
In order to facilitate this work and
give each case the attention it de-
serves, Governor Harding has en-
gagged John Fletcher, former assist
ant attorney general to represent
him through the adjutant generals
Office in investigating these claims
Mr.. Fletcher will gather evidence in
cases where an appeal is made for
re-opening and pass upon the legality
of the action of the board or boards
having Jurisdiction over the cases
wherein such claims are filed
The employment of legal counsel
in this work Is made necessary by
the great number of claims that are
being filed in the governors Office
Every case that is presented to the
governor should be filed in writing,
as the volume is SO great that other
wise the claims cannot receive the
attention they merit. The object of
this new ruling is to work uniformity
throughout the state and nation. 1t
is not inaugurated in the spirit Of
criticism of the work done by local
or district boards, but rather to aid
them and bring about an equitable
operation of the CONSUMPTION law
throughout the state and nation.

American Red Cross Societies VIII
See That Boys in Training
Camps Are Pro-
vided For.
SURPRISE FOR THEM ALL
Packages VIII Each Contain Some
thing Unusual and Soldiers
Will Appreciate All
Remembrances.

The American Red Cross with it's
three million members has just COM
pleted plans for the Christmas cheer
of every soldier and sailor in the ma
tfonal service. Many of the men who
will be in the cantonments and trench
es this year will be spending their
first Christmas away from home,
None will be forgotten.
Red Cross chapters nearest the
thirty-two army camps and canton
ments will probably arrange in their
towns, community Christmas trees
with carols, pageants and holiday
movies to which the 100000 men in
training will be invited.
Arrangement Of the details of the
Christmas celebration for our men in
France is being made, but the Red
Cross will see to it that every soldier
has his Christmas package with It's
message of good will from the women
on the home side OF the Atlantic.
There will be surprises in every pack
age, but all of them are likely to con-
tain writing paper, pipes, tobacco.
cfgars and cigarettes, unbreakable
mirrors, puzzles, dominoes, handker-
chiefs and playing cards.
Many OF the chapters are already
finishing their Christmas allotments
of comfort bags Most of them are
made OF khaki and are furnished with
extra pairs OF wooden socks, house
wives with needles, pins, thread and
buttons. Detailed suggestions of how
to wrap these Christmas packages for
shipping will be issued by the Red
Cross. The Red Cross will also well
come the cooperation of anyone de-
string to have part in sending
Christmas cheer to the men in train
ing at the front. Some people will
want to give money to buy articles,
bags, mouth organs, envelopes and
paper. safety razors, extra soap,
spoons and knives. Some will want
to have a personal part in tying up
the packages. Children will be asked
to help with the package making.
The gifts will be bought from con-
tributions especially given for the
Christmas greeting. The Red Cross
war fund will not be used for this pur-
pose.
Last year the American Red Cross
sent presents of various kinds to the
men on the Mexican border. and the
marines at Haiti and San Domingo.
The articles were suggested by Gener-
al Pershing on the request of Red
Cross officials. Commenting on the
Red Cross Christmas gifts to the SOL
diers, he said, these things bring
the soldier to remember that the peo-
pie at home are behind him. You do
not know how much that is going to
mean to us who are abroad. You do
not know how much that means to any
soldier who is over here carrying the
flag for his country
