Statistics show that of 1,161 ,2O6 ex-

by the Local Draft boards, S59,150
were based on the ground of depend
ency. In other words, of every 100
men discharged by the Boards, "a
were released because there were per-
sons dependent upon them for sup
port, which rendered their exclusion
or discharge desirable. In 81 per cent
of these discharges for dependency,
the dependent was wife, or wife and

of whom would have been lost to the

been exempt.
Although there has been some agi-
tation for the exemption of married
men as a class, and although many
Local Boards appear to have dis
charged virtually all married men, the
weight of public opinion appears to be
strongly opposed to such policy. To
the question Should marriage be sub

for discharged" the answer of an over
whelming majority of the District and
Local Draft Boards, after a consider
able experience with the problem, has
been in the negative.

age Of Exemption Claims.

Reports received from the Local
Draft Boards and compiled in the Of
flee of the Provost Marshal General
show that with the exception of few
widely scattered and practically neg
ligible communities, the public has
cordially and loyalty supported the
Boards in their work Of raising all
Army for Uncle Sam. Willingness on
the part of young men of draft age to
serve was generally applauded, say
the Boards, while false or exagger-
ated claims for exemption or dis
charge brought upon the claimants
the contempt of their neighbors.
So pronounced was the effect of this
attitude on the part Of the public that
in some communities, that the priv
ilege of exemption or discharge was
generally waived by the registrants.
1t is also gratifying to find that a
pronounced majority of the Boards re-
ported that but few unfounded claims
for exemption or discharge were filed,
and that exaggeration in the state
ment of claims was not serious.
The filling of an honest claim for
exemption or discharge does not mean
of course, that the claimant is unwil-
ling to serve his country In depend
ency cases, it means, ordinarily, that
the claimant feels it to be his duty
to stay at home and support his fam
lily until the supply of men without
dependets is exhausted. In "neces-
sary industry" cases it means that
the claimant or his employer feels
that he is of greater services to his
country, for the time being, at least,
in his civil occupation.

McADOO CALLS UPON NATION TO
CELEBRATE FIRST LIB.

by William G. McAdoo, Secretary OF
the Treasury of the United States.)
Washington, March 29-The cam
raign for the third Liberty Loan will
b. opened on the 9th OF April, 1918,
the first anniversary of the declara-
ton of a state of war between the
United States and Germany.
This date will forever be a conse-
Grated day in American history, and
1t seems peculiarly appropriate that
the opening of the second year of our
participation in this war for the hon
or and rights of America and the free
dom of the world should be cele-
brated with a nationwide drive for
another Liberty Loan.
The campaign should begin with
great demonstrations and patriotism
in every city, town and hamlet in the
country, that will truly express the
spirit of aroused America.
On this date every American should
pledge anew to his government the
full measure of his resources. and
resolve to make every required sacri-
fee in the same fervent spirit that i'm
pels our gallant sons in the trenches
Of France and on the waters Of the
Atlantic to shed their blood in Amer
ica's sacred cause.
To carry forward Americas essen
tial part in this war for righteous
ness and justice, every man and wo-

available means to the government;

PLEADS FORAOME RULE.
Resolution Appears Before Porto
Rican Legislature.
Document Expresses Belief People
Are Fully Capable of Self
Government.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec. 6.-At
the special session of the legislature
a resolution was introduced in the
lower house requesting the United
States to grant complete self-govern-
ment to Porto Rico.
A memorial to President Wilson ask
ing this boon, also was put before the
House. b&
Both documents express the belief
that the Porto Ricans have demon
strated their ability for self-govern-
ment, right which has always been
denied them.
The memorial written by Gayetano
Colly Cuchi, prominent in the affairs
of the island, says in part:
Porto Rican soldiers cheerfully and
bravely left their homes to fight for
democracy, secure in the belief that
when the war was over, ;ictory won
and peace established, Porto Rico
would be given the same freedom for
which it fought Our culture. our civ.
ilization and the pride of our glorious
race oblige US to decline to accept as
legitimate the government that does
not spring from our own will"
