Date Set When Nebraska
Women Are to REGISTER

Governor Neville has designated
September as the date for the regis
tration of Nebraska women. They
are not to register in order that they
may vote, but to place themselves in
a position where they may be called
upon to perform patriotic duties in
the event their services should be re-
quired. ..
The plan of women registering is
being adopted in all of the states in
order that an army of united work
ers MAY be gotten together TO assist
the country in other ways than going
to the firing line. -.~~~---~s,

WILSON FAVORS
EXEMPTION OF
ALL MARRIED men
Congress Has Spoken Other
wise and Regulations Pro-
muIgated Will Be Carried
Out to the Letter.
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, Aug. 19.-Renewed
discussion of the status OF married
men under the selective service law
has been aroused by publication oi
President Wilson's reply to Senator
Weeks inquiry dealing with this and
other subjects.
In many quarters the president's
statement that he had no doubt Sena-
tor Weeks point as to the exemption
of married men was we'll taken, was
interpreted as an indication that he
approved exemption of any man OF
family who had not married merely
to escape military duty.
The president has full power to d.
rect that the regulations governing
selection be amended to this effect
A proposal specifically to exempt all
married men was made when the bill
was i'll the senate, an amendment to
that effect by Senator Smith of Geor-
gia being lost by a wide margin.
This fact, together with the regula-
ton later promulgated by the presi-
dent aking exemption possible only
in case of actual dependency, are
taken as indications that no general
exemption of married men, as a class,
will be given now.
Care With Last 10 Per Cent.
In cadtioning local boards today
against attempting to fill quotas by
selecting an inequitable number OF
men who have waived exemption and
are, therefore, practically volunteers,
General Crowder said that the great
est care must be exercised in sending
forward the last 10 per ce.t of any
quota.
THE last 10 per cent" he says,
must be selected with great care to
be sure that no one in the whole
quota - Int for military duty while
selected person with an earlier order
Of oblig; ton for military service is
allowed to remain az home"
Slackers Are Deserters.
Renewed instructions that drafted
men who fail to report for service
will be classed and punished as de-
serters, were sent to United States
district attorneys and agents of the
Department of Justice tonight by At
torney General Gregory.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has ruled that persons who neglect
to appear for examination will be ac-
cepted automatically and that the
privilege of claiming exemption will
be denied. 1t was to help carry this
policy into effect that the attorney
general acted. His instructions fol-

. In his address to the Confederate veterans in Washington on registra- ton day President Wilson said:
 ..Will you not support me in feeling that there Is some signihcance in this coincidence; that this day, when I come to welcome you to the national capital is day when young men as you were in those old days. when you gathered together, to fight, are now registering their names as evidence of this great idea, that in g democ- racy the duty to serve and the privi- leke to serve fall upon all alike:
 There is something very fine. my fellow citizens. in the spirit of the volunteer, but deeper than the voluri- teer spirit is the spirit of obligation. There is not a man of us who must not hold himself ready to be sum- naonsd to the duty of supporting the great government under which we live.
 NO really thoughtful and patriotic man is Jealous of that obligation. No man who really. understands the privi- lege and the dignity of being an American citizen quarrels for mo- ment with the idea that the congress of the United States has the right to call upon whom it will to serve the nation.
 These solemn lines of young men going today all over the Union to places of registration ought to be 8 signal to the world. to those who dare fiout the dignity and honor and rights of the United States. that all her manhood will flock to that standard under which we all delight to serve, and that he who challenges the rights and principles of the United States challenges the united strength and devotion of a nation.

SELECTION BY LIT !. FOR ARMY SERVICE
] No Glass Exemptions to Be At-
 loved in Conscripting

Washington. June 1.-The war de. partment was at work today on regu- lations for the second step in the army draft, selection by lot of pro- portion of young men registered. while the provost marshal generals office was compiling data on the rests- tration Tuesday.
 Only Delaware, Vermont and tho District Of Columbia had reported their registration figures last midnight but many more state reports were looked for today.
 It may take a week or ten days to complete the nationwide tabulations. Then the war department will pre- scribe rules for drawing names of men who are to be examined before local or precinct exemption boards. and for the composition of these boards and of boards of review to which those drafted may appeal.
 A call for q definite number of troops will be Issued. each state will be notified to contribute certain pro- portion and state authorities in turn will determine ailotments for sub- divisions.
 Plans for all this machinery are al- ready formulated in Q large measure under the provost marshal general, 60 that the first choosing and the sub- sequent sifting out of men not quali-. fled physically or those having de- pendents. may be completed as early as possible this summer preparatory to the call to the colors in the fall
 Ofncials noted today that the meas" ger returns received indicate that more than half Of the men re9isterods either claimed exemption or g&vDs facts which might exempt them. I'm war department may issue gut41ng statement for boards of exernptae11s.S but actual decision on each casa wilil be left to the local authorities who are in position to know conditions nrst hand. Emphasis is laid on the determination to prescribe no class exemptions, but to pass on eases in-, dividually.

 ENLARGE ITS SCOPE
Will Expand to Make Itself More
 Useful to City

The executive committee Of the New Britain Chamber of ,Commerce met yesterday at luncheon at the Hotel Beloin to perfect plans to en- large the membership of the organ tzation, increase its efficiency. create new departments and so develop the scope of its activities as to include continuous and active personal inter- est of the entire membership.
 This policy of expansion is largely dictated by realization that the rapid growth of New Britain calls for g larger participation by it's leading commercial body in the affairs of the community so that it may keep pace with this growth through the inclu- sion of all interests in the enlarged organization.
 It was announced with regret that President Lander's duties as chair man of the Connecticut Committee on Food Supply which has also become part of the State Committee Defense will prevent his active participation in the membership movement owing to the immense amount of detail con- nected with the service he is render ing the state.
 Acting President c. J. White. who presided, declared that it is tho in- tention of the Chamber of Commerce to become the eduAl if not the superior of any organization in cities of simi lar size of the state and other sec tions of the country in membership, finances and activity.
 "Our first three years of existence" said MT. White. ''have been marked with degree of success fully in keeping with the expectations of the officers and directors. Our records serve to show what can be achieved with limited membership and small financial resources. Our experience clearly indicates what possibilities for good and the advancement of New Britain are contained in 8 Chamber of Commerce modelled and operated along lines of approved commercial organization procedure.
 ''The desire to bring the New Brit ain Chamber of Commerce. up to this standard of efficiency was stimulated by the splendid address of R. G. Rhett president of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States at our last banquet. President Rhett showed conclusively how important the de- velopment of every commercial or ganization unit is to the success and effective operation of the national body and gave us a vision of just what broader. bigger, more potent local organization means in its relation to national affairs as we'll as the ad- vancement of all interests centerin1 in our community.
 "It is to realize this condition that the New Britain Chamber of Com merce has decided to inspire a move ment with the aid of it's present mem- bership which will. we are confident. result in bringing all interests to- gether on g. common platform work ing for the general good and advance
