The train was very near her when she suddenly started forward again, stepping onto the track Mir. Morgan said he opened the whistle and threw on the emerg- ency break, but the train did not come to a stop until after the woman had been struck.

President Writes That Establishment of "Fact of Dependency as Well as Fact of Marriage Ought Not to Be
 AbrOgatcd" By Regulations.

Washington, Aug. 25.--At the direct suggestion of President Wilson, Prov ost Marshal General Crowder teler oraphcd all governors tonight a sup plemental explanation of regulations governing the status of married men under the selective service law.
 No change in the regulation was made and the purpose of the statement is to clear up misunderstanding Crowder described as "a few in- stances"
 In letter to Secretary Baker. quoted by General CroWder. Presi- dent Wilson expressed the opinion that the regulations directing local boards "to establish the fact of de- pendency in addition to the fact Of marriage, ought not to be abrogated"
 This leaves the regulations as they are, and the supplementary statement is designed merely to make the appli- cation of the rules uniform among all men
 While the statement regarding mar ried mon was in preparation, orders were issued changing entirely the mobilization arrangements previously made. Congestion of rail traffic and the necessity of making better provis- ion for the reception of the men at the cantonments. necessitated the changes.
 Trained Men First.
 Under the new order, per cent. of the white men preferably those with military experience, from each local area will be started toward the camps September 5, instead of 30 per cent
 They will go in five daily detach- ments of equal size, form skeleton company organizations. and set up going concern into which the re- of the total quota can be ab- sorbed without confusion as they reach the cantOnments.
 The next 40 per cent of the quota will go forward September 19. when the second 30 per cent originally was scheduled to go. A second 40 per cent. will go forward October 3. instead of the third 30 per cent, and the remaining 15 per cent. will be called up as soon thereafter as prac- ticable.
 Local boards are directed to disre- gard order of liability numbers to some extent in selecting the first 5 per cent. as men of experience, such as cooks and former soldiers, are de- sired at that time.
 Warning is given, however, against getting into this levy by reason of his experience any man who might not otherwise have been included in the first increment of the district at all.

Munich Independent Com mittee Declares Otherwise
 Heavy Taxes Be Needed.
"TRAP FOR WARY"
 REDFIELD'S VIEW
Secretary of Commerce Writes Brooke lyn ASSemblyman. in Response to Letter Sent at Request of Many
 Who Ask What to Expect.

Amsterdam, Aug. 25.-The Munich independent committee for German peace again strongly protests in the press against peace without in- demnity.
 It points out that the public wealth of Germany just previous to the out break of the war was estimated at about 36O, ,0O0,000, ,000 marks, of which half has been wiped out by war ex- penditures.
 To pay interest on the redemption of that huge loss, the committee says, it would be necessary to raise by tax aton 12,00O,000,000 marks annually whereas the imperial budget hereto tofre has been only $500, ,O0O marks, and it is impossible to raise it beyond 6,O0O,000,000 marks.
 The committee declares that even the confjscation of all the large fortunes in Germany would cover only 9 small fraction of the war burden. Without indemnity, it asserts, the less well-to-do persons will be the suffer CTS in the inevitable period of grind ing poverty and crushing taxation.
 ''Trap for Unwary."
 New York, Aug. 24.-Suggestions of peace at this period of the war were characterized by William G. Redfield, secretary of commerce. as "a trap for the unwary," in letter to Assembly, man Nathan B. Shapiro of Brooklyn, made public here tonight.
 Secretary Redfield's letter was in ran1v to one from Mr. Shaniro stat ing that numerous persons in his dis trict were eager to know what action they might expect from Washington concerning the proposals from the vatican.
