Washington, AUG. 21.
IF there is to be any modification
OF the present rigid rulings OF
the Provost Marshal General
regarding exemptions OF married
men from draft, II Is known only
to President Wilson, who alono
has authority TO alter or modify
those regulations.
The War Department so far has

mere condition OF marriage. The
