Lose Army Pay

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-The fam
lilies of 200 Of the men drafted in Bal
timore for the National Army already
are being cared for by the Federated
Charities Of that city, it was learned
to-day. This condition was declared
by an authority to-day not to be local,
but common in many cities, owing to
the refusal of boards to exempt men
with dependents il the mems wives
wore physically able 20 make living.
A new type of Stacker has developed
since the draft. He is not attempting
to evade military service, but to escape
the obligation of providing for his fam
lily. These slackers, though entitled TO
exemption because of the dependency
of their families, do not claim it. and
permit themselves to be drafted in or
der to avoid supporting their wives and
children.
II was said to-day that whenever such
cases are reported the authorities will
see that three-fourths Of the mems pay
is withheld from them, TO be sent to
their dependents

day when the order for mobilization
was countermanded. For time
Plattsburg's latest graduates wandered
about the city dsconsolate. Then many
left for home on last surprise visit
before starting on the road leading
overseas.
1t was thought the camp was fully
prepared to house the 1900 officers
who are TO train that part of the Ma
tional Army. But, according to Colo
mel E. Z. Booth, chief of staff OF the
nth Division, it was found that the
contractors were unable to finish the
necessary buildings on time.
Hundreds Had Arrived
Retween two and three hundred OF
the reserve officers had already been
installed in the camp and others were
coming in by scores. To keep the rest
from reporting before they could be
accommodated Colonel Booth made the
following announcement, directed TO
the reserve officers of the division:
Due to VI foreseen delays IN
construction work, the contractor
Is unable to finish sufficient
number of buildings to sccommo-
date the officers directed to report
August 20 at Camp Upton for duty

city and street addresses, where or

Colonel Booth said last night that
the twelve or thirteen hundred officers

II is not believed the delay viii IN.

the draft army at the camp. the first
instalment of per cent being due on

night that all efforts were being made
TO avoid this delay. largely because of
the effect OF morale. September has
already taken on the glamour Of great
national holiday. =,

Roscoe S. Conkling, director Of the

The drafted men Of the 10th E1-

Drafted Men a Happy Lot
Any one who thinks that Americas
conscripted men are going around with
long faces should have watched the sol
diers of Harlem last night. The men
cheered patriotic speeches with q vim,
sang the national anthems with gusto,
and showed by their holiday attitude
that they were glad to be summoned to
serve in the army of Uncle Sam.
Irwin Kurtz, the chairman of the
local board, explained that his exemp-
ton district was the first in New York
to have its full quota certified by the
district board. With the quota fixed at
1853, $50 men in the district waived ex-
