ALIENS MAY BE
TAKEN IN NEW
NATIONAL ARMY
Exemption Boards Told to
Accept Men Who Do Not
Want to Be Exempt

The following telegram regarding
the enlistment of aliens was sent this
afternoon by Colonel Frank G..
Sweeney, of the state registration
office, for Governor Brumbaugh. to
all of the 2S2 local boards through
out the state:
Reports reaching the office of the
provost marshal general recently in
dicate that in some quarters the be-
lief prevails that friendly aliens who
have not declared their intention to
become citizens but are ready and
willing to serve are disqualified from
entering the military service of the
United States and therefore that they
must take out first papers before
they can be accepted. 1t is to be
regretted that such q misunderstand-
ing should have arisen. The uuali-
hcationS for voluntary enlistment in
time OF war are no more restricted
from service in the new national
army than for the. regular army
Such alien declarents are virtually
volunteers. The selective service act
provided for their registration, but
1T did not regard them as being un-
der any liability to serve, and it
therefore gave them full privilege to
claim exemption when called by the
local board. Now that information
reveals their Willingness in large
numbers to decline this exemption
and to accept service in this war
against the common enemy of our
civilization it should be fully under
stood that their service is heartily
welcome and they should be ac-
cepted whenever on summons they
tall to claim their right of exemp-
ton. They arc assisting the cause
OF their own country by aiding the
United States to triumph in this war
The more of themt hat enter the
service the better, for in this way
will be removed the cause of dis
satisfaction heard in some quarters
that although the quota was based
on total population including aliens,
the actual draft reached only citi-
zens and declarents. Local boards
are directed to facilitate in every
way the acceptance of friendly aliens
non-declarants for military service
and thus enable them to do their
share to assist the country which has
gwen them refuge and an honor
able living"
County Board Ready
Announcement was made at noon
to-day that the second county dts-
trict board including the territory
in the central part of Dauphin coun-
ty, will send out notices tonight to
316 men to report beginning next
Monday morning, at the Paxtang
schoolhouse when examinations will
start. Other county boards have
not decided when they will send out
notices. The official quotas will prob
ably be sent to the boards on Fri
day or Saturday of this week, Colo
mel Sweeney announced.
Two More Examined
The second district includes Swa-
tara, Lower Swatara, East, West, and
South Hanover, Susquehanfia, Derry.
and Lower Paxton townships and
Hummelstown, PaXtang and Pen
brook boroughs.
The first city district board to-
day examined Lloyd f. Green,
Ridgewood, N. J., Rnd H. r. Stack
house. Titusville. Yesterday Charles
A. Lackford, New York, was exam
ined. One of the three failed to
pass the physical test, but the board
would not say which one.

MAY GIVE UP
U-BOAT CHASERS
Admiral Sims Believes Small
Vessels to Be of Little
Value

Washington. Aug. 6. - Abandon
ment of it's original program of build
ing a great fleet of submarine chasers
as rapidly as possible is contemplated
by the Navy Department, and this
action is considered the first step in
shaping a new policy to meet the u
boat menace.
While it is impossible to state the
precise reasons prompting the depart
3nent, it is believed that Vice-Admiral
sims has reported that the method
low followed by the British Navy
will never dispose of the submarines,
and that the General Board agreed
with his recommendations.
The department will contine to
build destroyers with all speed, the
Navy being satisfied that this type
of ship is of infinitely more value in
fighting submarines than the wooden
chasers.
Great Britain has thousands of the
latter patrolling the war zone. The
records show that while the patrols
have assisted in holding the subsea
campaign in check, they have not re-
duced il to any considerable degree,
and there is no reason for believing
that they can ever eliminate the SUBJ
marine as a serious military factor.

No Time Now to Talk
Peace, President Believes

Washington, Aug. president Will
son had long conference yesterday
with Senator Lewis, the Democratic
whip, urged haste in the final enact
ment of the food control bill and rev.
enue bill, and is understood to have
indicated that he does not consider
the present time opportune for dis
cussion of peace negotiations with
Germany.
Senator Lewis would not discuss
the latter phase of his conference,
but 1T was believed the President in
d1cated that he did not consider Ger
manys recent peace feelers to be
genuine and that he can be expected
to inform the country when he be-
lieves the time has come for discuss
ing peace.
Senator Lewis declared that the
President would not allow the Amer
lcan people to lose any rights or
suffer any wrongs which his dill
gence could prevent"
