waiian Islands last Wednesday. The
team will stay at Waikiki beach for
three weeks and then hurry back to

touches on the spring training. Man

will be hard put to it to win the ma

and second base, as Bill Rorton and

hold down these positions. are yet
among the ranks Of the holdouts, and

Charley Mitchell (alias Yapp), will
invade the land of the Native Son

services more than his country needs
them. or II for any reason no ought
to be exempt from military duty.
Major Gen. E II. Crowder explained
to-day that the man whose number is
drawn Is not required individually to
claim exemption. but that, with or
without his knowledge, the claim may
be presented by another. b.
Gen. Crowder also explained why
the initiative in exemption could not
be taken by Federal authority. His
statement follows:
THE attention OF this office has
been directed to the possibility that
many cases OF registered persons
whose circumstances are such that
the persons should be exempted will
never be brought to the attention Of
local and district boards, because the
registrants concerned will shrink
from taking any initiative in the
matter.
''The facts Of each case must In
some manner be brought to the at
tention Of the boards. The regula-
tions provide that this may be done,
first, by the registrant himself; Soc
ond, by any third person who has
knowledge OF the facts. and with or
without the knowledge of the regis
trant.
in either case the boards are d.
rected to conduct the investigation
prescribed by regulation. and to make
exemptions or discharges in proper
cases whether the claim was made by
the registrant or by some other per-
sons in respect OF the registrant.
Third persons. and especially en-
ployers. ought to keep I'm mind, how
ever, that the law makes no eNemp-
tions in the interest of individuals,
except as the interests Of individuals
| coincide with the interests OF the Ma
! ton. II Is not loss to private interest
| that is intended 10 be protected. II
| is only loss ~ the Nation. Men who
| can be replaced by other men cannot
/ be discharged from draft, even II they
arc employed by persons who are di-
rectly engaged in work for the Gov
ernment.
"The duty, however. of those who
ask exemptions for men In their en-
ploy will be one OF patriotic thought
for the best interests of the Nation
and the employer who can readily
replace those OF his men who are
drafted for service will. of course. be
mindful OF the greater interest OF the
| Nation in raising an army rather
than the smaller financial loss by
detriment to his private business"
