NEW EXEMPTION PLAN
FOR SELECTIVE DRAFT
Would Take First Only Men Without
Dependents and Not In the
War Industries

WASHINGTON, D. CA compre-
hensive new plan for applying the
army selective draft which would
take first only men without depend
ents and of no particular value to
war industries, and establish various
grades of dependency and industrial
value from which future drafts
would be made strictly on the selec-
tive basis has been worked out ten
tatively by the provost marshal gen.
erals office and discussed with the
president.
The plan. it was learned Wednes-
day, was submitted recently to q
conference of civilians who directed
exemption board activities in a num-
Der of states and received the in
dorsement of most of them, who are
now discussing the proposed plan
with their state governors.
How New Plan Works
It is proposed to formulate in
each local draft district a table Of
all registrants. placing each in a
column denoting his dependents and
industrial value in the wars prose-
cution. For instance, horizontal
columns or classifications would be
based on dependency. Men with no
dependents would be placed in the
first class, those with dependent
distant relatives, in the second class,
those with wives in the third class,
those with, wife and one child in
the fourth, and so on.
Similarly the vertical columns
might represent certain industries
arranged according to their respec-
tive merit as war necessities. In
dustrial classes under consideration
in this connection are farmers, ship
yard employees, munition workers,
railway and transportation en-
ployes, miners, steel plant and motor
industry workmen, and certain other
individual plants or industry
branches to be designated from time
to time by the president or the war
department as temporarily essential.
The latter classification might in
clude plants making military cloth
ing, harness, first aid materials, or
professions, such as chemists and
QUIET SCl0uIluC HIGH uOI0 ACCuCu III
war research than to carry arms.
Order to Call
Thus the table with horizontal de-
tendency classifications and vertical
industrial classifications would hold
place for each registrant in accord
ance with his dependency or indus
trial value claim. In selecting men
for examination, boards would first
take all men physically fit, having
neither dependents nor value in es-
sential war industries. When this
class was exhausted, draft authorizes
would draw on the classes having
the lightest dependency claims and
the least value in essential indus
tries. Theoretically, the draft would
work thru the table, to the classes
with most dependents and highest
industrial value.
No class would be exempted as
sIch, but the valuable men would
be placed so that they would not be
called until the need for soldiers be-
came more urgent and all the less
essential classes were exhausted.

A LETTER FROM
JOHNNY GREENAN

Following is letter from Johnny
GreeHan in training at Preside, San
Fpancisco, CAL, dated October 10,
1917:
Dear Father:
Mother wrote to me and said you
wondered why l didn't write to you,
so l thought I would writ to you.
| suppose mother told you that
| was bugler, and last time | wrote
home | was bugler, but since then
| have quit. 1t was too lazy a job,
and l thought that if l got used to
doing nothing here, when l got out
wouldn't work till I was nearly
starved, so l quit and now I am
drilling nearly all the time and I
like it.
Mr.. Lowry was here, but he went
back yesterday morning. l am go
ing to see Colonel Clarke and try
to get into the aviation section.
This drilling is pretty hard on
shoes. ] just sent pair away to
get half-soled and hob-nailed.
l thought could come home
Christmas but l bought 500 Lib
erty bond so l will not have any
money to come home on. I don't
think we will leave here for quite
a while, perhaps not at all If the
Germans make any signs of peace,
which l don't think they will.
| heard they were trying to pass
bill to draft from sixteen to twenty
and over thirty, and if they do, tell
Gene to wait until he is drafted be-
cause the conscripts are getting
credit for winning this war, not us.
l am going to be inoculated this
morning for para-typhoid. Tell
mother l will write soon.
Your loving son,
JOHN G.. GREENAN.

ing Desmond mounted on the steer,
Curley vaulted into the saddle and
the fun began.
The steer had ideas of his own. He
didn't think the small pen gave him a
fair chance to show his fighting abil-
ity, and like some temperamental ar
fists he changed the script to suit
himself. Thru the pen tore the long
horn and into the frightened crowd
it charged, Curley still sticking with
out pulling leather"
To say that the steer bucked would
be putting it mildly. With bawls and
snorts, leaps and plunges, the fright
ened beast took to the hills, and when
the Triangle cow-punchers finally
corralled it there was Curley still
holding his seat.

CARPENTER TELLS
HIS EXPERIENCES.
ASAFLYINGM MAN
By GEORGES CARPENTER.

Given a good aeroplane, the avia-
tor prepares for q duel to the death
in the air with the utmost confidence.
For the machine gives to the aviator
when flying over the earth a sense of
power. a feeling of superiority over
all moving things on the earth below,
that is indescribable in words.
A certain degree OF aptitude, COOL
ness, nerve, Is undoubtedly necessary
in the man. But after all the aviator
gets to trust more and more in the
machine and to have less and less
doubts about himself because of the
machine.
It is probably this exaggerated be-
lief that the aeroplane will do any
thing that has led a great many avia-
tors to their death. They become
reckless in defying the law of gravi-
tation because the aeroplane seems
superior to that law.
My encounters in the air, however.
were as nothing to my experience on
the day when the battle in Cham

weather was fogey. Flying meant so

COMISKEY SHOULD
WINFORTUNE FROM
BOX SEAT PRICES
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Though declining to charge as
much as the New York club for
worlds series seats, Charlie Com
iskey will net a tidy sum for him
self, If the tip received today from
Cincinnati is worth anything. He
will also have a jolly laugh on those
fervent writer's who bawled out the
National League and praised the
generosity Of the American League
for the hard working laborer who
would see the worlds series games"
Chicago prices for box seats will
be S5 per game, with grandstand
seats at S1.50, pavilion at S1.00 and
a bleacher seat at so cents. The
Giants will charge 1925, 50, 81, and
81 for the same accommodations.
But Coniskey is said to be planning
on having 1000 box seats, as
against 1 400 at the Polo Grounds.
Comiskey has recently announced
that he would have some extra box
seats" following this up with
statement that, as baseball is the ma
tional pastime, he would have them
made of concrete. thus making them
permanent, instead Of temporary"
Little was thought of these an
nouncements from the Old Roman un-
I'll somebody arrived in Cincinnati
from Chicago with the information
that the box seats would number
1900. Then came the explosion.
The mathematical sharps of the
Windy City have figured It out that II
he sells all his box seats, Comiskey
will take in more money than the
Giants, even IL he sells all the re-
naming seats at his park at the usual
American League prices
1t is safe to predict that, il those
II, 600 seats are erected In time for
the big series, they will be sold, for

and Chicago is well supplied with
money. Comiskey will make q for
tune out Of this series. beginning
with his SIS, 900 obtained from these
box seats each day.
II the series goes six games, $685.
900 will be obtained from these box
seats at Comiskey park, as against
S26,25o for the 1.4O0 sold at 36.25 per
at the Polo Grounds.
The 1917 title series bids fair to
break all existing records in a hnan-
cial way.
