BOX OF HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT
Is FORWARDED FROM DAWSON
A Great Variety of Useful Articles
Collected by U. D. c. Committee
and Sent Forward.

A box of hospital equipment for
one patient collected by committee
from the U. D. G. chapter was pack
ed by Mrs. j. S. Lowrey and turned
over to the local Red Cross to be
sent forward at once.
The following list of the articles
will be of interest to those enlisted
in war relief work: Four draw sheets,
6 sheets, 2 counterpanes, pillow
cases, 8 face towels, 2 bath towels,
3 wash cloths, pair bed socks,
hospital bed shirts, 3 pairs of paia-
mas, 4 pairs socks, 6 handkerchiefs,
l convalescent gown. In addition to
this 61a dozen pillow cases were

active in every line of work for the
relief of the men at the front, and
all patriotic movements. The local
chapter was among the first to pur-
chase a liberty bond

LOCAL BENEDICTS
CHEERED A LITTLE
PRESIDENT WILSON is EXPECT
ED TO BE MORE LIBERAL IN
CONSTITUTING DRAFT LAW.

Washington advices indicate that
President Wilson may take steps to-
ward having the basis of exemption
for married men who are heads of
families made more liberal than the
strict construction put on this section
of the draft law by the military au-
thorities.
Members of the local exemption
board state that they do not know
exactly how many men such leniency
would affect. They say married men
who have already been exempted will
not be benefited, whereas those mar
ried men whose pleas of exemption
have been disallowed may only, I'M
der the leniency order, secure ex-
emption when it is shown they are
the heads of families.
Army Officers Conflict.
The presidents view seems to be
that married men drawn for the army
are entitled to exemption if their la
Dor has supported their wives. 1t had
been previously held that married
women who are capable of earning
their own living should do so and re-
lease their husbands for military SER
vice.
1t is no secret that the presidents
view is in conflict with the interpre
tation placed upon the law by army
officers. They contend that as the
history of law shows that congress
voted down amendments to exempt
married men they have no legal au-
thority to exempt them except on
the grounds of dependents only.
If this section is made more len
lent it will probably be necessary to
change the law, as military officials
are not disposed, to construe it in
any other manner than is promulgat-
ed in the law.
But be that as it may, the presi-
dents reported attitude has given To-
cal benedicts who were drawn for
army service ray of hope.
