CAN'T ESCAPE THE ARMY
That Is Latest EdiCt Which Has
Been Issued BY Military
Authorities
UNITED Press Dispatch.l
From Thursdays Daily.

Washington, June 21.-Baseball play
ers, artists, actors and authors are sub
ject to draft for the army and must
take their chances in the lottery to Sc
lect the fighters from among the $780,
900 young men of the nation that have
been registered. No provision has been
made for the exemption of these men.
Some of the managers of the big base
ball teams have been asking the war
department whether their players are
exempt from military service. Artists
at Greenwich village have asked if they
are exempt To this the war depart
ment has pointed out that the great ar
lists of France are in the trenches.
Calloused Hands One Factor.
1t is understood that hard calloused
hands will be an important criterion in
determining whether man ought or
ought not to be exempt from military
service on the ground that he is food
producer Vast numbers of would be
slackers have been fioclzing to the coln-
try in the hope that they may escape
draft on the theory that they are far
mers. 1t is understood that the war
department is ready for this subterfuge.
and that the scheme of these recently
self made farmers will not be success.
The exemption boards will look into the
length of time that a man has been
farming and will ascertain that he is a
real farmer, before granting exemption
on that ground. u-
