MOST OF the dfatt boards FRIDAY
have got down to arguments on
doubtful claims for exemption.
The appeal board is still CLASH
flying the thousands of cases which
arrive daily, and will resume hear
ings Monday.
In view of the discretion which
has had to be given the boards,
some speculation as to whether
their decisions are made with
equal strictness has been newt
able.
About Same in End.
The cases on which the ques-
ton has been most often raised ia
that of married men without chill
dren.
Statements by the boards Fri
day morning Indicate that while
they have apparently adopted
somewhat different rules, the ex-
ceptions have probably brought
the results to pretty near the same
thing in the end.
We have ruled that married
men with wives and no children
cannot be exempted" said Il. l..
Hiberly, of city board No. |. bat
there is no rule so inflexible that
it cannot be waived when circum-
stances call for It. All three
members of this board have acted
on every individual case"
Pass En- Personally.
Controller Shoemaker of city
board No. 3 says they have made
no rule, but passed on each case
without regard to others.
We stand in more danger of
being charged with favoritism, |
suppose" he said, than if we
made a rule and stuck to it; but
this seemed to us the right way"
city board No. 3 has gone on
the theory that married men with
wives could not be taken; but IN
cases where 1t has appeared that
the wife was not dependent, the
board has taken the man.
1--WE don't exempt a man be-
cause he is married" said Chair
man James r. Thompson of coun-
ty board No. 1. eff the wife can
show that she is really dependent
and cannot earn her own living,
however. we exempt him."
Operation First.
Sam Engman of kalispell, Mon
tana, who was examined by city
board No. 3 Friday morning, is
going to undergo an operation to
remedy a defect which disquali.
fled him.
He went from the examination
to DR.. Edwin James, and after con.
sulting him, announced that hC
will stay with his work of run
ming steam shovel at the arm,
post for a week or so longer ant
then go to the hospital to be ep
Grated upon.
Quota Complete.
City board No. I. of which
Dwight Phelps is chairman, has
certified As men to the army
which is its quota of "A plus the
required 10 per cent extra.
There has been noticeable
change of sentiment among the
men appearing for examination, !"
said Clerk r. l.. Hiberly Friday
morning. AT first everyboady

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. "a.
The United States government
today extended a further credit or

was Secretary McAdoo's answer to
gloomy rumors that fear of Rus

of unrest and lack of confidence
in this country.
Russia's credit is now $275,-
600, 000-only a beginning of the
efforts this government will make
to assist the new democracy to its
feet. Plans for furnishing vast
supplies have been completed.
