ALABAMA TROOPS ID PASS INTO FEDERAL SERVICE AT ONCE Will Become Part of Thirty First Division of United
 States Army NAMES OF 13 SLACKERS WILL BE POSTED SOON This Is Number in Montgomery Who Failed to Answer First Call
 for Examination Under
 Draft Law

Montgomery, August 4.-(Special )-Of- fcial announcement reached the mobiliza- tion camp of the Alabama National Guard Saturday that it will at once cease to be known as Brigade One of Division Ten of the Federalized National Guard, but will become a part of the Thirty-first di- vision. No indication was given as to what will be the designation of the brigade. It has been the First brigade of a division composed of the organizations of Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
 The Alabama National Guard will cease to exist as a state organization Sunday and will be formally drafted into the service of the national government. This means that the state will have no fur ther control and all officers will be named by the war department It was mustered into the federal service June 1916, and has been in service ever since However, the state government has been nominally in control. Brig Gen. Robert E. Steiner will remain in command of the brigade until he has been nominated and confirmed as brigadier general in the new army. This designation by the southeastern department indicates tha. no trouble in confirming the appointment is expected.

representatives of the federal government Saturday afternoon and will be charged With the duty of appealing from the de- cisions of local exemption boards in all cases where they believe the government has not been given justice and where persons who should enter the military service have been exempted. The ap- pointments were made by Gov. Charles Henderson through the state military de- partment
 Although no unusual rush has been made to claim exemptions in this state. the government decided to take time by the forelock and to prepare for an ap- peal in every case where a person has been exempted. If the county solicitor or city attorney believes that the per- son should serve or that false statements have been made in support of his claim, he may take an appeal in the name Of the government. This will mean heavy obligation. as all exemption boards will be in operation by the latter part of next week and it will be the duty of each solicitor or attorney to know what claims were made By each person brought before the exemption board.
 EXEMPTION RULING
 Persons in better position to support their dependents while serving in the army than when out of the military serv- ice have no grounds for exemption un- der a ruling received by Adjutant Gen. eral G. J. Hubbard and transmitted to the local exemption boards of Alabama Saturday When person claims exemp- ton on the ~round that he has depend ents he must prove that he has received a greater salary than he will be paid by the government after taking into con sideration that the government will fur nish him sustenance. clothing. sleeping quarters and medical attention
 IN yprpntiOO bOa rd " given authority to determine who should be exempt the provost marshal general said consideration should be given to the fact that the government will pay each drafted man not less than 80 month. Taken in connection with the supplies given by the government, the salary will represent $50 or more in civil life.
 The ruling empha sized that local board is not required to discharge a man because he claimed exemptions and mem toned that many men in the army could send to their dependents at least $25 a month "The discretion of local boards is invoked by this provision and such boards may well take the facts into con- sideration in deciding claims for dis charge due to dependency with view to determine whether as matter of fact the person claiming such discharge will not be in as good or better position to support his dependents after selection for military service than he was before," said the ruling If such is the case of course. discharge should not be granted
