MARRIED MEN NOT
EXEMPT FROM SERVICE

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Married
men are not exempt from the opera
ton of the selective draft law merely
because they are married. Many mar
ried men will be drafted into the
military service, but only when their
wives and children are not financially
dependent upon them.
Wives rich in their own right whose
husbands fall within the prescribed
age scale will have to give them up
for the period of the war.
This rule is not general, since some
wealthy married men will be num-
bered among those who are of greater
not entail value to the nation in their
usual vocations than they would be
at the front.
Many unmarried men with relatives
wholly dependent uron their earnings
will be exempt for this reason. II fol
no other.
