GO : TO CAMP IN OCTOBER
Employers Urged to Assist in Pre-
sentation of Claims for Occupa-
tional Exemptions-FIags Fly

Washington, Sept. 11-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder announced that
the first call to the coiors of men who
register Thursday will include men in
the nineteen and twenty-year-old
classes, and in the classes from thirty
two to thirty-six years, inclusive Cues
tionnaires will go first TO registrants
within these specified age limits and
local boards will De ordered to classify
them first in readiness for calls begin
ming in October
Young men in the nineteen and TWEEN
ty-year-old classes, General Crowder
said, will be accepted for induction
into the students army training corps,
but he pointed out that the authorized
strength of this corps is only 100000
men, whereas the total number of reg
istrants below twenty will be over 81
100000.
The general refused to discuss fur
Their the educational plans, saying they
were not within his province. He
pointed out that the total number of
fit men which he expected to be Sc
cured from the classes over thirty-tWO
was only 601, 900 and repeated the
statement that class L of men now reg
istered would be almost completely
exhausted by October l.
General Crowder also issued a gem
eral appeal to employers to assist in
the presentation of claims for occupa-
tional exemptions and declared that
this was the ''unexplored field of the
new draft and that no estimate could
be made as to the number of men who
ought to be excluded from military
service in the upper age limits because
of their occupation"
Emphasizes Industrial Phase.
Emphasizing the Importance to be at
tached to exemptions on the occupa-
tional grounds, General Crowder APP
pealed to employers and industrial
leaders generally to make a special
study of their field in the light of the
draft requirements.
Il address to them the suggestion
that they charge themselves more sys-
tematically with this responsibility,
he said in pointing out that employers
should present claims for men who
might through mistaken chivalry fail
to claim exemption for themselves. At
the same time, he said, his suggestion
had another phase, in that careful ex-
animation of industry might show
some exemption claims to be unneces-
sary and, in this connection. he added :
"The needs of the military forces
are known and imperative. Any 2iven
quantity of deferments will ultimately
have to be made up by the depletion
of some other occupation"
Provost Marshal General Crowder
made the following statement:
II want every flag flying and every
band playing on registration day.

BOOTH SENTENCED.
Essex Junction Man Pleads Guilty to
Stealing Beans.

Essex junction Man Pleads Guilty to
Stealing Beans.
Clayton A. Booth of Essex Junction was
sentenced in city court yesterday morning
by Judge Joseph T. Stearns to not less
than one nor more than three years at
hard labor in the house of correction at
Rutland, being. found guilty of grand
larceny.
Booth, until Saturday a prominent resi-
dent in his home town, pleaded guilty to
breaking and entering the store OF
Adolphus B. Yandow of Essex and ex.
tracing therefrom six bags of beans. the
value Of which was estimated to be 800.
The beans were the property of James II.
Viele. The act was committed on the 18th
day Of January.
When Booth was first arraigned in city
court yesterday morning, he pleaded not
guilty. He was. therefore. bound over to
the March term of county court. Bail was
fixed in the sum Of $1,000 AS the re-
spondent could not furnish a bondsman
for this sum. he was ordered committed
to the county Jail
Later. he requested States Attorney
Allen Martin to file an information against
him. This the States attorney did. Booth
then pleaded guilty. and the sentence was
pronounced upon him. There were other
charges hanging over Booths head. one
of which alleged the stealing of automobile
tires from the Mudgett hardware store in
Essex Junction. These were not pressed,
however.
Booth is a descendant of a well-known
and highly respected family at the juno
ton, and had always been a hard and
earnest worker. OF late. though. 1t is under
stood that his financial condition was bad.
His arrest and subsequent conviction have
acted like bombshells dropped in the midst
of his immediate friends.

Woman's Party Hopeful That They

Woman's Party Hopeful That They
WIN support Suffrage Amendment.
Miss Mabel Vernon. national secretary
Of the Woman's party, was in Burlington
Monday in the interest Of woman suf-
frage. Miss Vernon said to a Free Press
reporter that a recent poll Of the United
states Senate. taken by Senator Curtis
OF Kansas. shows the federal suffrage
amendment. which already has passed the
House, lacks four votes Of passage.
The measure undoubtedly will come to
a vote in the Senate early In February,
and members Of tho woman's party are
working hard to influence the doubtful
senators in favor Of the amendment.
Miss Vernon said Monday: I'VE are
doing all in our power to convince the
doubtful senators and are hoping to sue
coed with Senator Dillingham; Of Vermont
before the measure comes before the
Senate. We do hope that Senator Page
Will vote for the amendment He will not
commit himself on either side but has
given his consent to meet a delegation of
women before his return to Washington.
l have seen several people in the city
to-day and the general consensus of opin-
Ion seems to be that Senator Page Is al
ways anxious to do the right thing by the
people Of Vermont. that is to vote as they
want him to. This is encouraging. for the
sentiment for the amendment in Vermont
Is very strong. The majority Of the people
seem to want 1t. The fact that there is
municipal equal suffrage in Burlington
shows this fact. Senator Page would prob
ably consider the honor of the Republican
party also. In the House this party stood
| strong for the amendment.
II am sorry that am not to be in
Burlington long enough to have a meeting
but the main thing is for Senator Page to
know the sentiment of the people Of YER
mont on this question so l hope that
prominent women. and men too. will write
or wire the senator regarding their posi-
ton. Senator Pages secretary has
promised to notify the women a day ahead
Of the time when the senator will pass
through Burlington. This will give them
ample time to make arrangements. Several
of us were going to see him to-day at his
home In Hyde Park but found he was III
