DRAFT INCLUDES
POSTAL SERVICE
Ruling Indicates Many Gov
eminent Employees Will
Be Released for War.

WASHINGTON. Aug. A ruling is
sued yesterday by the postoffice depart
ment shows that department officials
viii make few requests for the exemp-
tion of postal employees from military
service. Postmasters are instructed not
to ask for exemption for carriers or la
borers or for clerks in second class Of
fees below the 81 600 grade. clerks in
frst-class officers below the s1.1o0 grade
or any above these grades. unless they
are qualified distributors Of mail.
The ruling is the first formal action
BY an executive department in eompli-
ance with President wilson's order d.
recting that department officials indi-
cate exemptions and that the require
ment of indispensability be rigidly en-
forced.
AS generally construed. the postal rul-
ing shows the purpose Of the admins
ton to make the government depart
ment leaders in freeing valuable en-
pioyes for war service.
Mail Carriers Not Exempt.
The entire mail carriers force, num-
boring thousands Of men. of whom a
considerable percentage are within the
draft age limits, IS excluded from eX-
ernption for physical reasons or because
of dependent families. Every portion of
the country is reached by the ruling as
even the rural carriers are included.
The departments ruling in regard to
clerks leaves railway mail clerks within
the exemption classes, as they are highly
specialized distributors. Provost Mar
shall General Crowder took steps to re-
duce the number Of exemptions because
Of dependent families. Instructions were
sent to the governors of all states point
ing out that the minimum pay Of SOL
diers is now $50 ninth and that To-
&C boards must consider whether a
mans dependents could not be support

BIGGEST OF THE BIG GUNS
Tending Panama Canal Shoot Pro-
jectiles Weighing Over Ton.

1t is not easy to understand what
the power of gun really is-its pene-
trating and destructive power, OBJ.
serves Popular Science. What we call
q 15-inch gun-which means one
whose muzzle or hollow part is 15
inches in diameter-will hurl shell
right through plate or wall Of the
hardest steel IL inches thick seven
mixes from the muzzle. The power of
the very largest land guns ever made
the German howitzers or 1875 guns
is such that one of their missiles
cracks open u steel and concrete fort
as if it were a nut.
There are two classes of guns
naval guns and army or land guns.
Because they can be manipulated more
easily than those of ship, land guns
are the heavier. From eight to ten
miles is the greatest distance that a
gunner can cover successfully at sea.
The largest naval gun Is the 15-inch
English gun on the famous super
dreadnaught and the largest land gun
is the German howitzer. OF the two
the naval gun fires a shell weighing
over half ton, while the other fires a
projecti!e ton in weight. But the
new giant 16-inch guns of the United
States defending the Panama canal
and New York at Sandy Hook shoot
projectiles weighing 2,37O pounds,
which is over Il ton. These immense
steel guns can sink a ship before 1t
has really come into sight on the hori-
zon, the location of the battleship hav-
Ing been determined by airplane or
tower.

HIS POSITION NO SINECURE
Persian Poet Laureate Kept at Work
Immortailzing the Speeches Of
His Royal Master.

Persia appears to be the only coun-
try besides England where a poet
aureate has been maintained of re-
cent years. Until Muzaffar-ed-Dih
abolished the post in 1896 the court
Of Teheran had for centuries pos
sessed laureate, whose duties we're
far more numerous than those of his
British confrere.
According to Narcisse Persin, who
spent some years in Persia at the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
court etiquette prescribed that
whenever the shah travelled outside
the capital his suite must include
dwarf. giant, jester, a historiog.
rapher and a noet laureate.
The last two were kept busy, for,
While the historiographer had to re-
cord for posterity all the doings and
sayings of the shah, the laureate was
called upon to celebrate large pro-
portion of these in verse. M. Persin
highly commends this custom, which
ne found rigidly followed, 'for the
shah, knowing that many of his ut
terances and deeds would be crystal
lied in an ode, felt bound, on these
royal progresses, to speak and behave
naiestically."
Optimism.
Optimism is friends with the world, |
putting white arms of affection about |
the earth and men. It's good will, en-
circling the world, returns to 1t again. |
Optimism knows that the very needs
Of love are fairer In blossom than the
brightest orchids Of hate.
Optimism is the gospel Of light, and
IL that light shines for you, you will
find your life's dream tiding through
happy fields beneath rainbow arching
skies until It's low sweet murmur is
swallowed In a mighty river Of song.
Optimism ends the world-old strug-
gle for happiness by being happy -Ex.
