BROAD GROUNDS FOR
EXEMPTION CLAIMS
WILL BE GIVEN THE MEN WHO
REGISTER SEPTEMBER Il, 1918,
UNDER THE NEW REGlSTRA-
TON LAW.


Washington, Sept. 4-Much broad
er grounds for the establishment of
claims for exemption from military
service are provided in new regula-
tion now being worked out by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder to
govern the classification of men be-
tween Is and 45 who will register
on September 12. Important modifi-
cations are based upon the change
of few words in the original draft
law made in passing the new man
power act The term. industrial
occupation" is eliminated and the
law now provides persons may be
given deferred classification when
engaged "in occupation or employ
ment, including agriculture, which
can be established as necessary to
the military establishment or the
maintenance of the national interest"
This section, with the regulations
constituting it, will allow district ex-
emption 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 status or
registrants who shall be entitled to
exemption, but will allow the boards
to work out the details, after the
authorization has been given them.
It was said that the regulations
would straighten out situation aris-
ing since 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 necessary
industry Since the requirement that
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 retained, however, the sum
total of exemptions is not expected
to seriously affect the net man power
which has been retained, however,
the sum total will finally be placed
in class /.
District boards in applying occupa-
tional exemption regulations Will
have the assistance of three advisers.
Industrial, commercial and agricul-
tural, who are now being nominated
in every district.
Only minor changes are incorpor-
ated in the revised questionnaire,
which the registrants of September
IL will be required to fill out.
It strikes out the requirements that
city police and firemen be in service
three years before being entitled to
deferred classification and allows
them to be placed in class 3 with
out regard to their length of service.
1t establishes also three new divi-
sions in class 5, exempting automatf

co-belligerent with the United States
who come under treaty arrangements
entailing their service at home and
citizens of neutral countries, who
have withdrawn declarations OF their
intention to become citizens.
The QUESTIONABLE still requires
each registrant who desires exemp-
tion to make formal claim and pre-
sent detailed facts substantiating 1t.

Helena, Sept. 3.-A negro named
Rawlings, his wife and their two
small children were burned to death
last night in a tenant house four
miles southeast of Helena, near Ere

the same room. A II year old dau-
ghter and a son about IL years old
escaped, though the boy was badly
burned about the legs when in fright
he ran back into the house and got
back in bed after the girl had pulled
him out. The negro girl is said to
have gone into the burning building
a second time and dragged the boy
to safety. The bodies of the four
dead were charred beyond recogni-
ton. Neighbors who saw the fire
about three o'clock in the morning
arriaed at the scene too late.

What and Where Is Heaven?

Continued From Editorial Page.)
know not exactly where we are go
ing, though we must try to feel
we are on the way.
If our lives meet the divine ap-
proval, we are taught by divine
revelation, and even somewhat by
natural reasoning, that we shall
be where God is. But again God
has not vouchsafed to reveal just
where He is. Except, perhaps,
that He is everywhere.
Neither should we consider
Heaven simply as a place. The
idea of place suggests space. And
space is predicated of two or more
material bodies. There can be no
space where all is to be spiritual
lied. Heaven must be taken to ex-
press rather a state or condition
in which the human being will
find itself in the hereafter. And
as such it is to be thought of as
the sight, knowledge, love and en-
joyment of God.
Even this happiness can be
spoken of in general terms. For
"eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
neither hath it entered into the
heart Of man, what things God
hath prepared for them that love
Him."
Yet by reason, analogy, faith,
revelation We are sufficiently as
sured that the happiness of the
hereafter (which is heaven) con-
sists in the beatifc vision, and
not only in the vision, but the
knowledge and the possession.
The souls craving for perfection in
intellect and will is to be realized.
The end for which it was created
and exists is to be attained. This
perfection and its end is God.
And the soul possesses and enjoys
God after this mortal life is over
by some intimate union with Him,
or Transformation into Him, so
that, retaining its own created
and personal identity, it receives
and feels perfect satisfaction.
Whatever else heaven may mean
or is flows from this. The sight,
and knowledge, and possession,
and enjoyment Of God.

every knee must bow, every
tongue must swear. Let
them all accept the yoke Of Thy
kingdom, and do Thou reign over
them speedily, and for ever and
ever"
The second expression Of mans
absolute completion and perfec-
ton in the ideal future is found
not in this world, but in the world
to come, the future world. In the
latter the highest spiritual state
is to exist. Here the imperishable
divine essence in man is to be
gradually developed to its fullest
extent This future world is thus
entirely different from ours. It
is stripped Of gross materialism
and carnsl desires.
In the world to come, the Rabbis
tell US. there is no eating or drink
ing, no envy or hatred, but the
righteous sit with their crowns on
their heads reveling in the splen-
dor of the divine glory. This is
the heaven" Of mans ideal. In
this heaven the virtuous and up
right typified in characters of
Enoch and Elijah. ascend. 1t is in
this heaven that justice, so deeply
rooted in human nature, finds COM
plete and perfect expression.
Here the inexorable law Of JUS
dce reigns supreme and metes out
TO every individual according to
his true dessert The perfect
judge searches the heart and tries
the reigns, to give every man ac-
cording to his ways and according
to the fruit Of his doings."
The frequent contradictions in
the laws of divine j&tice in the
present world, the prosperity of
the wicked and the adversely Of the
righteous, are here righteously ad-
justed. Here the tragic problem
Of Job receives the truest and most
satisfactory solution.
Thus the ideal Of heaven is most
elevating and inspiring. 1t teaches
US that law and order. design and
purpose control our destiny. The
truth and the right may be sup
pressed. but eventually they will
come forth in the most glowing
light
