Gen. Crowder's Statement.

The communication follows:
You are entering on a difficult task
the gravity of which is beyond any
thing that can be said in the way of
discussion. You realize the Significance
of what you are to do, and you know
that responsibility, heavier perhaps
than any you have ever faced. is upon
you.
War demands individual sacrifice to
the common cause. No people ever ap-
preached war with a calmer appreciation
OF that sacrifice or a firmer, resolve to
bear 1t and to present themselves to be
classified for service in the place Of which
1t shall best serve the common good to
call them This calm determination could
not exist were it not for the confidence of
the nation in its institutions
'In this public confidence is found the
very spirit Of the selective service law
The most sacred rights of country, home
and family are intrusted for adjudication
TO local citizens and officials. nominated
by state governors and appointed by the
President. The most equitable rules that
could be devised have been prescribed
for guidance, and the administration of
these rules and the sacrifice that is Of
fered by your neighbors is intrusted to
your hands.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-29
Sacrifice Of Board Members.

Last Of all. it is important to saw a
word about your own sacrifice. The
place to which you have been called liz
one which no man would seek save in
the performance of one of the highest
patriotic duties.
There is not. in any real sense, any
remuneration. Because thousands Of
citizens urged that members of local
boards should not be placed in a posi-
ton of performing their grave duties
for pay, the regulations provide that.
ordinarily, the service shall be uncom-
pensated. Because it was not desired
that any man be prevented from render
ing the service by the necessity for
earning his daily bread, a small remu-
neration was provided
THE nation needs men, and needs
them quickly. The hours will then be
long and the work absorbing. The
duty is always to take and never to
give, and human nature is such there
will be little praise and some blame.
The sacrifice of many Of those whose
cases are to be decided is no greater
than that of the men who are to decide
them: and your only reward must be
the knowledge that. at great personal
sacrifice. you are rendering your coun-
try an indispensable service in n matter
of the utmost moment"

life. '
There can be no room for hesitation
In such case.
Another fundamental thought is
this:
You are not a court for the adjust
ment of differences between two per
sons In controversy. You are agents of
the government. engaged in selecting men
Ior the government, and there Is no
controversy. You. acting for the gov
eminent, are to investigate each case
IN the interests of the nation and never
in the interests of an Individual. There
IS not one exemption or discharge in
the law or regulations that is put there
Tor the benefit Of any Individual. All
are there for the benefit of the nation.
and to the end that the whole nation
may be team in which each man shall
play the part of which he is best fitted.
therefore no one has a vested right,
ny himself or by attorney. to urge, BY
argument or pleading. his individual
case upon you; You shall rigidly ex-
clude this. Ordinarily you should act
on the affidavits. II you desire more in
formation you may proceed to get 1t.
II you doubt the affidavits you may inter-
rogate other persons. II you desire more
PROOF you may get it. But no claimant
mas a right to submit other proof than
that called for by regulations or than that
you may call for.
There should be no rules like those
OF court procedure, no technical rules
OF evidence. You should proceed to in
vestigate cases about which Won are
not satisfied exactly as you, as an in
divldual, would proceed to inform your
seif OF any fact about which you are
in doubt.

Exemption Boards Warned
Ito Use Care in Letting Off
Men From Service in Army

Exemption boards of the District of
Columbia, as we'll as those throughout
the country, will receive this week, on
the eve of the beginning of the exam
nations of the men in the first call for
the national army, the final word from
the provost marshal general on the care
which must be exercised by the boards
in handling each case which comes be-
fore them. The communication was
sent out last night.
The selected man offers his life
says Gen. Crowder. 1T will strengthen
you to remember that for every exemp-
ton or discharge that is made for indi-
vidual convenience, or to escape per-
sonal loss of money or property, or for
favor or affection. some other man.
whose time would not otherwise have
come, must incur the risk of losing his
life"
The boards are told they areSnet
courts to adjust differences between
two persons in controversy. You, act
ing for the government" says the COM
case in the interests of the nation and
never in the interests of an Individual"
Gen. Crowder closes with the declara-
tien that the nation needs men quickly
and the board will receive little praise
and some blame. Your only reward"
he said. must be the knowledge, that
at great personal sacrifice you are rem
dering your country an indispensable
service in a matter Of the utmost mo-
ment."
