EXEMPTION BOARD
FOUR GOOD SOLDIERS OUT OF II
MANY CLAIM EN-
EMPTION.

The Lake county board of exemp-
tions met today in the courthouse
and examined physically II men up
to 4 o'clock this afternoon. OF the
II examined there were four who
claimed 10 exemptions and who were
accepted for service. None were
found physically imperfect for mill
tary service. DR.. VIM. Lowe, of the
board, is physical examiner, Chair
man j. A. Johnson assisting. Rev.
j. f. Booth is acting as clerk.
The man is first called for physical
examination. On passing from that
room, he takes his papers to the
clerk, to whom he makes claim for
exemptions, and who gives him the
proper blank for filling out. In the
case of claiming exemptions on ac-
count of dependents, and on which
this local board passes, the claimant
makes affidavit, the dependent party
makes affidavit, and another |unrelat-
ed head of a family also bears wit
ness as to the correctness of the
statement. Ten days are allowed for
the filling and filing of these claims
with the local board. Appeals may
be taken from their decisions to the
district board, and from the district
board to the president of the United
States.
Many applicants were under the
impression that they had to make the
actual substantiated claims for eX-
emption at this time. This is not the
case. AT this time they make only
the application to file a claim-they
apply for the papers on which to
make their affidavit, and have 10
days in which to get the paper, prop
erly filled out. back to the board,
Those appearing today, in many
cases. brought their wives and chill
dren with them to prove that they
labored under that handicap.
The names of the four men who
were passed. accepted and who make
no claim for exemption are as fol
lows:

ACCEPT RESIGNATION
 OF REV. G. 0. TAMBLYN

The resignation of Rev. George O.. Tamblyn, pastor of Olivet Congrega- tional church, has been accepted, to take effect April 9. This action by the congregation was taken at last nights meeting in the church which was well attended and was called to consider the ultimatum presented by the pastor who is absent from the city organizing branches for the American Red Cross society.
 Pastor Tamblyn had requested a three months leave of absence from his church duties here. This had first been refused with a subsequent permission to absent himself for two weeks and return. MT. Tamblyn then sent word to the congregation that he either be permitted to resign or per mission be granted to let him pursue the Red Cross work during weekdays preaching to the congregation on Sundays.
 It was the belief of those present at last nights meeting that under this plan justice could not be done to the church which has been active in all neighborhood matters, is about tc build a large social hall, and requires close attention from it's pastoral head.
 In placing the date of April g the congregation expects that the incum- bent will preach his va1edictory Easter Sunday, though some of the more rAssimistic members of the church express doubt that MT. Tam blyn will consent to this plan.

JEWELRY STORE
 ROBBERS TRAIL
 HIT IN ELM CITY
Men Who Got Watches Here Also Procured Loot In
 New Haven.

$ Capt. E. O. Cronan learned yesterday that the three men who stole tray of watches from the Wentworth Fur niture stores safe, 1115 Broad street, Tuesday afternoon at about 5:3O o'clock, managed to steal $900 worth of rings from a New Haven jeweler yesterday morning, pursuing the same methods
 The men entered the Wentworth store singly. The first wanted to see 8 brass bed and was taken to the rear of the store. A second entered a few moments later and asked to see the bureaus, which are stocked in the rear of the store. The clerk was alone at the time and no one was in the front of the store.
 While exhibiting the articles to the two supposed customers, the third quietly entered, walked into the office where the safe stood with the doors open and made away with 16 gold filled watches, which reposed on a tray and are valued at $25O.
 The detective bureau has ascertain ed that the trio came directly to Bridgeport after robbing the New Ha- ven jsveler and are believed to have left Bridgeport and gone to New York.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
LOOK OUT AHEAD

Previous to the day upon which the different treaties, by the combined powers and France were signed at Paris, a separate treaty was made by England with Spain. The government of the United States surely cannot be ignorant of the facts. If they are, their agents abroad have been remiss in not furnishing the necessary infor- nation. To no potentate in Europe are the United States more indebted than to the Emperor, of Russia The magnaminity displayed by him throughout the arduous struggle in which he has been engaged, has. in many instances, defeated the mach1n- ations of the British Cabinet. and has evinced disposition to cultivate the most friendly intercourse with the United States. His Ambassador here has confirmed this assurance to our government. Let us embrace it-and let Russia and American be consider ed as twin sisters. There is no pos- sible cause of jealousy or /riva1ry. Their interests are the sdme whether considered in a commercial or poli- tical point of view.
 That the United States has serious difficulties to expect cannot be doubt ed. Uncontrovertible proofs of the fact, will. in a short time be furnish ed for publication. Our late minis ters at Ghent have been ,apprized of many-but since their departure from that place more have developed. The expectation of 9 long peace is vision ary-however devoutly to be desired. On our part no disposition to war has been manifested at any time and it is hoped that the spirit which was dis played in IT'S. and the naval and military valor of 1913 and 1874, will not be relaxed, through feeble or tenn porary counsels, into the humiliating condition in which they were in 1911 and 1872.
 Conquest forms no part of Ameri- can ambition-but a surrender of rights will always be resisted by free men. Embrace the present moments prepare for the ultima ratio. The time is at handz-and that we may not be so enfeebledlas we were at the be- ginning of the late war, it is among the cares and obligations which Con- gress has to fulfill to their country.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-H You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-there's ne need of having sallow complexion-dark rings under your eyes-pimples-a bil- ious look in your face-dul1 eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act Of the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.

REORGANIZATION IN GERMANY TO
 COME, IS BELIEF

London, March 15.AA political reor- ganiZatfon of the German empire after the war, involving a greater share by the people in the conduct of imperial affairs was predicted by Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg in speech before the Prussian diet, according to a Berlin dispatch to Reuters. In be- ginning his address the chancellor protested against criticism .levelled at the reichstag by the upper house of the diet. Admitting that every par- ltament in Germany Is entitled to dis GUESS imperial policies, he reiterated previous assurances that the war must lead to @ political organization and that the government would, after the close of hostilities, propose a reform of the Prussdan franchise.
 After the war; he said, i've shall be confronted with the most gigantic tasks that every confronted a nation They will be so gigantic that the en- tire people will have to work to solve them. A strong foreign policy will lbe necessary, for we shall be surrounded by enemies whom we shall not meet with loud words but with the internal strength of the nation. We can only pursue such a policy if the patriotism which during the war has developed to such a marvellous reality is mainA tained and strengthened
 The chancellor went on to declare that the maintenance of patriotism could only be achieved by granting the people in general equal co-opera- tdon in the administration of the em- rdre.
 Woe to the statesman he said,
 who does not recognize the signs of the times and who, after this catas- trophe, the like of which the world has never. seen, believes that he can take up his work at the same point at which it was interrupted I will de- vote my last efforts to the carrying out of this idea of maa<ing our people strong. Only have thought fills me and all of us at present-how to end the war victorfOuSly. As the war can only be won by the exertion of OUT greatest possible man power. I have freely spoken my thoughts in the in. ternal policies of our people for the future.''
