Married Men Must
Wait Wilson's Ruling
War Department Not Yet In.
structed to Alter Exemp-
ton Regulation

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-If there is
to be any modification of the present
rigid rulings Of the Provost Marshal
General regarding exemptions Of mar
ried men from draft, it is known only
to President Wilson, who alone has au-
thority to alter or modify those regu-
lations.
The War Department so far, basing
its ruling on what it interprets as the
intention of Congress in passing the
draft law, has gone on the theory that
a mans exemption was based on a con-
dition of dependency, rather than on
the mere condition of marriage. The
department still holds TO that view and
will urge it upon the President.
Recently President Wilson in let
ter TO Senator Weeks, of Massachu-
sets. referred briefly TO the claims of
married men to exemption in what was
interpreted by many as a sympathetic
tone. but to-day there was no indica-
tion from an official source that he
intends to modify the rulings of the
War Department in that respect.
As the President alone has the power
to do so. there can be no change unless
he directs IL.

CAMP MILLS, L. l., Aug. 21.-The
setting sun found the boys of the old
69th-now the 165th Infantry-dead
tired.
After a long, hard day, crowded
with the rigors Of real camp life,
the men begin crawling into their
little brown tents, pitched on the
green fats of Hampstead Plains, early
in the evening. A few Of them jour
neyed after mess to Hampstead and its
lone movie.
The men are throwing themselves
into work here with the spirit that
marks everything the seth does. The
harder and faster things como the bet
ter they are going to like it. There's
no doubt of that. The camp is rapidly
getting Strengthened out, and all will
be in readiness shortly for the arrival
Of the other units which will 60 to
make up the First Rainbow Division.
Order is coming out OF chaos, the COM
pany streets are taking on definite
form, and additional tents are SPRING
ing UP constantly.
Men Expect to Sail Soon
How long will the 69th be here ?
This question is on the lips Of every
officer and every private in the regi-
ment. There is a growing conviction
that the First Rainbow Division is to
come TO Camp Mills merely for concen-
tration and equipment. Officers are
of the opinion that the concentration
of the various units at Camp Mills is
not primarily for the purpose Of train
ing.
Train they will, Of course, but the
units scheduled to come here are, like

No Clemency for Gruher
"All cases call for more or less pity
said Judge Manton, after the verdict
had been announced. but in this case
cannot permit myself 70 be influenced
by the fact that the defendant has a
wife and nine children. At time
when the United States IS enlisting its
loyal sons 20 bare their breasts on the
field of battle, this defendant has been
found guilty Of assisting in an attemp'
TO defeat the objects of the govern
ment in forming an army.
"The other two consplrators had
sufficient fraukness 90 confess their
guilt and take their medicine, but TINS
defendant had elected to go to trial
The jury has returned a verdict OF
guilty and cannot see why this court
should extend clemency. II is ordered
that Kalman Gruher be imprisoned for
two years at Atlanta"
Gruher's struggling little gray
goatee quivered with emotion as his
last hone vanished. From the specta
tors benches, packed with his rela'
tiyes, came a clamor of high-pitched
expostulating voices. One of his daugh-
tiers ran into the corridar and entered
upon siege of Mysteries. His wife
followed suit Above the hubbub the
defendants own protests rose:

"You are only adding TO the suffer

manner" the court advised him. "Sen-

New Board Makes Progress
With Cherey, Bernfe!d and Gruher
transferred from power to prison, the
new board which has taken hold in
the jurisdiction Of Local Board 80 Is
making noteworthy progress. Re-
examinations made imperative by the
discovery of the crooked work carried
on under former auspices has been
completed, and yesterday the work Of
passing on exemption claims was taken
up.
Sixty-Ave claimants had been exam

charged that they might stay at home
and continue their support of depend
