BROADER GROUNDS FOR EXEMPTIONS.
 IN NEXT DRAFT
Persons Included in "Occu- patton or EmplonNsnt''
 Inluded in Exemptions.
By tht Associated Press.


 Washington, Sept. 4.-Much broad. CT grounds for the establishment ol claims for exemption from military service are provided in new regula- tions now being worked out by Prov ost Marshal General Crowder to gov ern the classification of men between Is and 4o who will register on sep tember 12.
 Important notifications are based upon the change of 8 few words in the original law made in passing thS new man-power act The term Gin dustrial occupation" is eliminated and the law now provides persons may be given deferred classification when engaged Gin occupation or employ ment, including agriculture, which can be established as necessary to the military establishment or the main tenaece of the national interest"
 Exemptions Allowed.
 This section, officials pointed out today, with the regulations constru- ing it, will definitely allow district exemption boards to exempt bankers and essential bank employees, men engaged in necessary commercial en- terprises and necessary workers for Red Cross and kindred organizations The organizations will not attempt specifically to define the statute of registrants who shall be entitled to exemption but will allow the boards to work out the details, after the au- thorization has been given them.
 It was. said that the regulations would straighten out completely a situation arising since the district boards in various localities have ruled under the old law. that railroads and banks are not industries and that an importer of necessary war materials and his staff are not engaged in in. dustries. Since the requirement. that a man exempted because of his oc- cupation must be of such importance as to threaten the continuance of the enterprise to which he is attached, has been retaineed, however, the sum total of exemptions is not expected to seriously affect the net man-pow- CT which will finally be placed in Class 1.
 Advisors Will Assist.
 District boards ill applying occu- patiOnal exemption regulations will have the assistance of three advisers industrial, commercial and agricultur- al, who are now being nominated in every district.
 Only minor changes are incorpor- ated in the revised questionnaire of September 12 will be required to ment that city polico>nnd firemen be in service three years before being en- titled to deferred classification and allows them to be placed in Class 3 without Eegard to their length of service.
 Three Divisions in Five.
 It establishes also three new di' visions in Class 5. eXempting automa- tically persons discharged from mi litary or naval service t'upon grounds of alienage or upon diplomatic re- quest" persons who are citizens of countries co-belligerent with the United States who come under trea- ty arrangements entailing their. serv- ice at home and citizens of neutral countries who have withdrawn dec larations of their intention to become citizens.

 The first million tons was deliver ed in May and the total production to Sept. was 2,019,489 -deadweight tons.
 Increased deliveries by American yards added to those of the allied countries places new construction we'll ahead of destruction by submarines.

 For the first six months of this year, the sinkings, allied and neutral, totalled 2,089,393 gross tons, while production was 2,113,591 gross tons.

ARMY OF THE REAR Is Big Task of Bringing Victory t
 The Cause of Allied Nations.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Upon the "Army of the Rear''-the great army of workers at home-rests the task of making victory of Allied arms pos sible and the nations naval forces are convinced that the Home Army will do it's part, according to letter from naval officer, who was form erly connected with the Chicago of- flee of The Associated Press.
 "I'm no longer a prairie sailor. Pm on a good ship-a scrapping, happy ship," he writes.
 @Coming into my present service really made me appreciate the Army of the Rear, the army back in the United States that is really going to win this war. For upon the pursuing of the great American heart at home depends allied success or failure. And important are the people who are it's blood and muscle. Pumping a new vipor into depleted Europe; main taininp a healthy flow in the arter-- ;es of communication; creation and stimulation of a healthy, ardent pub lie sentiment is a magnlflcent task: "The soldier and the sailor does much in surrendering comforts and 1ac!ng death and the drab net of nagging details which must befall him. But the fighter in the ranks behind has quite Q large task, too, in combating the nacifist the profiteer and the traitor H;s is the task of keeping the Ameri- can nublic alive to the facts of thls war and his job is one that is sprout' ;n~ and developing tenorils almost as ,.an;dlv % as did Jacks. beanstalk. Hav- ;nr seen something of each I have nt fear @ but that the fighters in botf ranks will prove worthy of their Am ericanism.''

of the service which these seven al- he'd organizations are rendering our fighting forces. Wherever the soldier, sailor or marine goes, from the home camp and it's surrounding comE,uni- ties up to the front line trenches, he finds one or another or all of these welfare organizations extending a helping hand, providing as far as may be the material luxuries and comforts the mental and physical recreation and the spiritual solace and guidance from which he otherwise, by the very nature of war itself, would be cut off. So wholesome and beneficial has been the effect upon our fighting men overseas of this welfare work that General Pershing has asked that at least 1000 more workers be sent abroad every month in addition to the 5000 and more already there. It is to send these additional workers and to send the books and the baseball bats, the phonograph records and films and to follow our boys every step of the way with the home touch and the home spirit that the Ameri- can people will be asked to give their dollars and back up their service flags.
