THE DRAFT.

phasize the degree of responsibility
with which officers in charge Of
the draft are charged. The task Of de-
Gliding who must so and who must
stay is most grave. The examiners
must approach this work with the full
est sense Of justice and courage. They
may be quite sure of criticism, no
matter how fair or how just they may
be. but they must realize that In car
lying out a duty that is second in i'm
portance to none at this time. it will
be necessary for them to be guided
only by their independent judgment, as
to what is best for the coun-
try. The welfare of the nation is
above everything else in this crisis and
all other considerations must be sub
servient.
To win this war we must keep the
spirit of the country to the finest
pitch. II in any community the ma
jority Of the people become convinced
that the exemption boards are acting
unjustly or are influenced by selfish or
political aspirations, at that moment
the brakes are damned ON the work of
winning the war.
Provost Marshal General Crowdcr in
addressing the exemption boards re-
Gently said this: The selected man
offers his life. 1t will strengthen you
to remember that for every exemption
or discharge that is made for individ-
ual convenience or to escape personal
loss of money or property. or favor or
affection, some other man whose time
would not otherwise have como must
incur the risk of losing his life. You
arc entering on n difficult task, the
gravity of which is beyond anything
that can be said in the way of discus
sion. War demands individual sacri-
flee to the common cause. No people
ever approached war with calmer APP
probation OF that sacrifice or a firmcr
resolve to bear it and to present them
selves to be classified for service in
the place TO which the common good
should call them. This calm deter
mination could not exist were it not
for the confidence of the nation in its
institutions. In this public confidence
is found the vey spirit of the selec,ive
service law
Especially must the boards watch
for any insidious effort to influence
their decisions. They will be on firm
ground If they can furnish just and
impartial reasons for all action in in :
dividual cases. On their records must
rest the honor of the government in
this important and cNacting work. as
well as their own standing as good cit
liens in this community.
We urge also the need of CO. opera
ton of all citizens and especially en-
ployers. In the affidavits which they
make to secure the discharge of all per.
sons deemed TO be Indispensable to in
dustries which are closely related &c
war. the most scrurlous care shoule
be exercised.
Maintaining the right spirit W.
should also keep in mind that no rcflcc.
ton should be cast upon those who wal
to be drafted. There may be exccllen
reasons for that delay. Every ma,
who offers his life at the call of tn,
country Is to be respected no matte
whether he be called for the sacrific,
now or later.

WIRELESS PLANT
 WAS TEMPERED WITH

From all accounts some person tam- ptred with the wireless plant of the steamer Umatilla shortly after she left Seattle on her trip north putting it out of commission. Considerable difficulty was experienced in loeat- ing the trouble until R. c. Shelton who is now in the employ of the Dream theater as moving picture op- orator, was called in.
 Shelton who is an experienced elec- trician found that the motor general ing set had been tempered with; one of the field coils was cut and the other disconnected, The armature was grounded in every segment and the starting box was short -crcuited in two places.
 The ship was almost twelve hours out of Seattle before the trouble was overcome, and that was accomplished only after several other experts failed to locate the cnuse.

TVEnTY FIVE ENT0mBED
 MINERS ARE RESC LIED

The scene at the shaft mouth VI. -n the entombed miners were brought to the surface was one which will long live in the memories of those present.
 The miners who were rescued were found in one of the lower levels where they were huddled together for r1ore than seventy two hours. When the announcement was made at the sur :. face it was impossible to keep hack crowds of those whose loved ones were in the mine. They crowded to the mouth of the shaft and the reun ions were pathetic.
 It is though that there may be many others alive in the lower levels, and the work of rescue is being pushed through at all hazards. Over five hundred helmetted fire fighters are now at work and many hundred others
