that those with first papers are sub

what lawyers have to say and also to
the practice during the civil war. 1t
may be that the law has been
changed or that the lawyers are
wrong, but the matter will doubt
less be threshed out in court.
The industrial exemptions will
probably include general farmers,
section men, laborers on needed new
railroad work, mechanics and in gem
eral all others in important positions
( in work that is necessary to the
national interest in war and whose
place cannot be conveniently filled
/ by a woman or an exempt man.
No one should consider it unpatri-
otto to claim exemption. The exemp-
ton boards are there for the purpose
of protecting the governments in
terests and it would be detrimental
to the nation to take into the army
any man who would not make a
good able-bodied soldier, or whose
dependents would have to be sup
ported at much expense or who might
prove to be needed in the important
general industries of the country

forward their claims to exemption
whether strong or weak, and let the
proper officials consider them so that
they will not have to be sent bach

has been spent on them.
A point occasionally raised is wha
will be done in the case of those
who have property partly paid fol

Men making big salaries or in lint
