tion needs 800 young men who will go

ing held at the University Club yester-
day q committee was appointed to

troops in France. There were 5000
dozen baseballs and 1900 bats. 5000
flelders' gloves and 1900 catchers'
mltts, 1880 dozen indoor basebal]s.

Salvationists Oppose
District Draft Rule

The District Board here yesterday
established speed record under the
QUESTIONABLE system. The draft iur-
lists in one sitting decided the order in
which nearly 800 men of military age
IN this city should be called to the
colors.
Because appeals arc reaching the
Appeals Board at the rate of one thou
sand day, the members decided to
meet SIX days week, instead of three,
next week. Then they rescindcd their
action, when former Attorney General
George w. Wickersham pointed out
that the new schedule would enable
the District Board to decide on cases
twice as fast as the clerical force could
prepare the papers in the cases.
FROM the headquarters of the Saliva
ton Army yesterday came a statement
In criticism of the District Boards
ruling that Salvationists were not en-
titled to exemption from the draft on
the ground of being ministers.
Leading Salvation Army officials" ;"
according to the statement issued in
the headquarters on West Fourteenth
Street, "claim that the board is misin-
formed In basing its decision on the
grounds that Salvationists cannot per
form marriage ceremonies and other
rites Of the church, and insist that Sal
walton Army officers have the legal
right to perform and have performed
thousands of marriages.
Secretary of War Baker some months
ago gave a decision. based on an opin-
ion of the judge advocate general of
the United States, that the Salvation
Army officers were entitled to exemp-
tlon under the minister of religion
rule, and scores of officers have already
been granted exemption"

Occur, Baker EXPLAINS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Army Of
hcers attribute the growing frequency
CT fatal accidents at the military avia-
ton schools largely to the fact that
large numbers of the thousands of stu
dents are just reaching the stage of
qualifying as fighting hers. This is
dangerous business, in which the stu
cent-oifcers must go through with all
the perilous nanmuvres he might have
TO execute in fighting. pursuing or re-
treating from an enemy.
Secretary Baker said to-day that the
numerous accidents during the last
week, one of which cost the life of
young Lieutenant Peyton C. March, ir
son of Major General March, who is
about to return from France to become
acting chief of staff of the army. had
been drawn to his attention. He ex
planned that the Signal Corps required
a searching investigation of every ac-
cldent, the purpose being to correct
any fault of machine or method which
might add to the hazard of flying.
There are many thousands of STU
dents at more than score of training
stations, and the percentage of serious
