CROWDER PLAN
IS OVERR|DDEN
President FayorS Exemption
of Married Men.
WRITES LETTER TO BAKER
Tells Secretary of War to Avoid Ger
tifying Heads of Families Wherever
Should Be Taken First.

Should Be Taken First.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-President
Wilson has written Secretary Baker
expressing view that drafting of
married men who are heads of fami-
lies should be carefully examined to
avoid it. If possible, and that single
men should be taken where it is po
sible.
The president is empowered to
make the regulations un er which
the draft law viii be carr I'd out so
the effect OF his letter to Secretary
Baker is to throw his influence toward
a more liberal policy for exemption
OF married men than heretofore has
been pursued by the provost marshal
generals Office.
view is in conflict with the interpreta-
tiOn now placed on the law by army
officers administering it. They con
tend that as the history OF the law
shows that congress voted down
amendments to exempt married men
they have no legal authority to exempt
them except on the grounds OF de
pendeney alone.
President Wilson's view as forecast
in his recent letter to Senator Weeks,
is that the taking of married men and
heads of families should be ay led, at
least on the first draft.
The presidents letter probably will
be made public later by Secretary
Baker.
Provost Marshal General Crowder Is
| conferring with Secretary Baker on
the suggestions made by President
Wilson in his letter, and a statement
on the subject will be issued later.
