MEN DRAFTED IF
WIVES ARE ABLE
OEARN LIVING

- A new policy in the United States
apparently is developing as q result
of instructions given local draft
boards by the provost marshal gen.
erals office to comb out the de-
ferred classifcations in the draft.
Many local boards are calling men
in Glass 4 with dependent wives, but
no children, and questioning them as
to the ability of their wievs to earn
a suitable livelihood and as to the
ability of the wife's parents or rela-
tiyes to support her properly. In
some places every married man with
out children has been called for re
examination. The boards have the
power to summon the wife and her
relatives to testify as to the wife's
ability to work or OF the ability and
willingness Of her parents or other
relatives to take her back and sup
port her.
May Call On Parents-
1t is understood that several local
boards have taken the position that
wives capable Of earning a good live
lihood and who have done so should
be removed as a depended and that
where parents are able and willing
to care for their married daughters
in cases where the husband Is uIdllSu
that the man should serve.
other boards are taking an oppos-
ing view. The question will ultimate
ly come to the Provost Marshal Cen
eral for settlement So far the boards
have been allowed to follow their
own idea on the subject and no gen.
eral ruling has been made.
Many men were called before the
local boards last week and asked
concerning the means of support
available for their wives.
Call for Testimony.
Local boards have authority under
the law to call in the parents Of
registrants wife and ask il they will
support their daughter II her hus-
baud is sent to camp. II the parents
answer yes" the boards have au-
thority, according to the holders OF
that view, to put the registrant into
class 1 IL he has no child and into
class IL he has a child
A ruling OF General Crowder which
has led to this action is as follows:
"Tf a registrant has a wife but no
children and there are such other
sources of support available that the
removal OF the registrant will not de-
prive the wife of reasonably adequate
support, he goes in class 1, as not be-
ing included in any other division in
the schedule"
Under this ruling some boards are
holding that the parents of a regis
trant's wife may be called upon to
furnish the reasonably adequate sup
port.

REFORESTING MOVEMENT
SUCCEEDS ICE BUSINESS
Maine Manager American Ice Co.
viii Set out 10000 Seeding White
Pines on Banks Of Penobscot River
at Orrinnfon

a. StFtHStCH
L. c. Ballard of Gardiner. the Maine
manager of the American Ice Co.
tells the Journal that he has started
new departure in the town Of Or
rington, four miles below Bangor and
on the east side of the Penobscot riv-
er. where he has cleared up about ten
acres of land on the shore of the river
and will set out 10000 seedlings of
white pine. This may sound a little
strange to those who remember the
days when the ice industry in Maine
was in it's prime, but the idea Of re-
foresting Maine Is practical one, and
there is no doubt that the setting out
Of the young pines in the locality
mentioned will prove successful, and
that they will live.
Each little tree is set out in a square
Of six feet and the trees set out vary
in height from three inches to seven
or eight inches. The work Of setting
out was commenced on Monday Of
this week. the seedlings being secured
of Prof. J. NJ. Briscoe OF the Univer-
sity of Maine. The State is engaged
extensively in the work Of reforesting
In Maine and is setting out 100000 Of
these little pines in the nursery this
year.
