Industrial Exemntlon

Conscription boards have their trou-
bles, and occasionally a tragedy. but
once in while they have a little joke,

burg thinks it has good one" on the

emption because OF marriage since Au-

campaign as Of equal Importance

way of restitution and reparation

in possession of Mesopotamia and
with the road open to the east she
will have won this war.
