TO EXEMPT MARRIED MEN
Secretary Baker Urges Change in Law
So Registrants Need Not
Classify Selves.

Washington, Aug. 12.-New draft
regulations, under which the govern
ment would do the selecting, are under
consideration by the war department.
This was disclosed on Friday by Sec
rotary Baker, after he had appeared
before the senate military committee
to urge prompt enactment of the act
extending the age limits. He made IT
plain that he is not satisfied with the
present system under which the regis
trant must claim deferred clnssifica-
ton. Many with dependents hesitate
for patriotic reasons to make such n
claim. He said ne was inclined to the
opinion that the marriage relation will
itself constitute deferred classif1ca-
ton. He wishes to lay down a set of
questions for the registrant to answer
and then have rules take care of the
classification.

Is that II has inherited II foreign ar

of Finland may be seen from the fact
that It has all along worked for Ger

helped TO send thousands of young

Not Reported
WOMAN'S VOTE COUNTS
virtually All Of Cities Against Saloon

cists and Hotel Licenses
WOMAN'S VOTE COUNTS

Albany, N. Y, April 17.-Returns re-
ceived up to eleven o'clock to night from
81 of the 80 cities holding local option elec-
tions show that the dry forces carried
more than a majority of the municipali-
ties reporting. With eight cities to be
heard from, the count indicated that 16
had voted against the saloon, and Is in
favor Of licensing the sale OF intoxicants.
The cities which voted against the sa-
loon were:
Auburn, Batavia, Canandaigua, Corn
ing, Cortland. Elmira, Fulton, Glovers-
willie, Hornell, Ithaca. jamestown. Johns
town, Middletown. Norwich. Salamanca
and Watertown.
Those which voted to license the sale Of
liquor were Amsterdam, Beacon. Glens
Falls Kingston, Mount Vernon. New Ro-
chelle. Newburgh. Little Falls. Lockport.
Ogdensburg. Olean. Port Jervis. Rome.
Schenectady and Tonawanda.
o. the three second class cities voting
on the liquor question. Schenectady. the
only one with a complete count, retained
the saloon by q majority Of 2.202 in total
vote Of A,932. Incomplete returns from
Syracuse gave evidence that the vets
were leading by a substantial plurality,
while the figures from portion of Bing-
hamton, the home Of Senator William H.
Hill. father Of the local option law.
showed the drys to have a slight ad-
vantage.
The balloting. which lasted two days,
was the largest ever cast in any Of the
municipalities, due chiefly to the fact that
1t was the first election in which the re-
Gently enfranchised women Of the State
had been given an opportunity to exercise
the suffrage and the first time any voters
In the cities had had a chance to express
their views on the liquor question. An
analysis Of the figures at hand shows that
the vote in the cities reporting averaged
seventy per cent. greater than the total
vote for all candidates for governor in
the election of 1916.
Virtually all of the cities declaring
against the saloon also voted against the
sale of bottled liquors. pharmacists' H.
censAs and the dispensing Of intoxicants
by hotels. Salamanca banished all forms
Of sale except by druggists under a physi-
clans prescription.
In the cities which voted dry, the sale
of liquor must close on october l. next.
