From Gas in This War; by Charles
 Baskerville. in the American Review
 of Reviews.
 It is true that we do not wish to sacrifice the valued lives of our heroic American soldiers. It is plain. how ever, upon a moments reflection, that the best way to save the lives of those who have already gone to France, is to give them the largest possible support. Our men will fight. in any case; and the stronger they are in numbers and equipment. so that they may overpov er the enemy the smaller will be their sac rifice of life. We have now the mech anism for receiving great numbers of untrained men and converting them into soldiers. It will be much easier to train the second million and the third million than it was to make soldiers out of the first million. We have started on the road of peace en- forcement. and we propose to make the journey successfully.

has been put a tho dependency
clause at the recent msstings at the
State House.
That Interpretation was this: Un-
less some peculiar circumstances ex-
ist men with two children or less 60
into Glass 2 II they come under the
jurisdiction Of Board No. I. Also
II they come under the jurisdiction Of
Board No. 2 they 90 In Glass 3 un-
less they have at least three chill
dren.
That is the Interpretation put
upon dependency by the District
Boards and approved by the State Of
ficials.
ut has not been adopted in any
other state. It has not been ap-
proved at Washington. It has no
standing in law or equity or justice
or common sense and no man can
defend 1t successfully before any
body of Maine citizens outside Of our
insane asylums or the School for
Feeble Minded.
1T Is the most cruel, heartiess,
senseless proposition advanced from
any source excepting Potsdam since
this was started. It runs parallel
with the recent decision Of Governor
Milliken and his council that no
state aid would be granted to a SOL
dier's dependent mother unless she
was so years of age. But it is even
worse than that because 1t will affect
thousands when the Governors order
affects scores. Both propositions are
bad enough, however. and neither can
possibly survive the light of day.
"The people of Maine are absolute
ly loyal and are ready to make any
sacrifice to win this war but they are
not going to be imposed upon by a
little crowd Of State House officials
who might perhaps have been capable
of performing their routine duties in
time of peace but who are entirely
out of place during the present
crisis"

Mr.. PattansaII's Tuesday Statement.

Mr.. PattangaIPs Tuesday Statement.
Ex-Attorney General William r.
Pattangall Tuesday made q state
ment in reply to the one recently
made by Adjutant General George
Mel. Presson in regard to the classi-
flcation OF men under the Selective
Service Law.
THE statement issued by Adjutant
General Presson concci ming the re-
classification of Maine draft regis
tiants is az disingenuous as the re-
cent statement OF Governor Milliken
that the matter was one for the fed
erai authorities alone aad no concern
of his" says Mr.. Pattansall.
General Presson M! have had
authority from Gen. Crowder to is
sue his orter.of May Is for a general
appeal of Class dependency cases.
IL he had such authority it could
only have been procur.d by some
such distorted statemeht as he now
makes concerning the work Of the
local boards.
THE important matter, however,
the manner in which the re. classifi- .
cation is being made. General Pres
son states that The Boards have
agreed upon an Interpretation of the
regulations governing dependency
and have followed that Interpretation
to the letter, without far or favor,
treating rich and poor alike
what is that Interpretation?
"That is what interests the pub
lie. Gen. Presson negieLts 10 in
form the public on that most impor-
tant point. He omits that and in
stead substitutes a demogogic dis.
cussion concerning the equal rights
Of the rich and the poo.
There is no question of rich and
poor in this matter AMI wealth and
poverty is not what the board is dis
cussins.
"As a matter Of fact neithe~ Gen
erai Presson nor his associates have
SUFFICIENT courage and honesty to

was generally understood that he had
been killed in action. His last fight
was recorded on April II. and notiii-
cation was made the latter part "f
April to his relatives in SkoWhegan
that he was missing. This was fol-
lowed shortly afterwards by a com
munication that he was dead.

there he obtained his carly educa-
ton He entered Bowdoin college and
when the Second Maine was sent to

return he rc-enetered Bowdoin and
was graduated. He went to England
last September and trained at Queens
college in oxford, completing his
training at Ayr Scotland. He was
commissioned n first lieutenant March
i, and assigned to the Royal Flying
Corps, being with Squadron "a at the
time Of his death.

bilization at Augusta and from there
went with the unit to Westfeld, 'at-

PattanealI's Letter TO journal,

Editor kennebec Journal:
In your issue of Tuesday YOU quote
Mr.. Walter 8. Wyman Of Augusta as
saying that I distorted" his state
ment to me concerning the action Of
his board in transferring men from
Class to Glass 2. Perhaps I did. I
did not intend to do so. In order to
avoid any like difficulty in the fu-
ture I make this suggestion to Mr..
Wyman:
The district draft boards according
to General Presson have agreed up
on an Interpretation OF the regula-
tions governing dependency and have
been following that Interpretation to
the letter" Will Mr.. wyman make
that Interpretation" public?
What he said to me. or whether I
reported 1t correctly. is not of great
public interest. What his board are
doing to the married men OF. Maine is
of great public importance.
! have published the fact that the
Interpretation" Of the board involves
the proposition that in ordinary cases,
men with less than three children IN
District No. l are put in Glass 2, and
that in District No. 2 men with less
than four children are put in Glass
.. This is either true or IL Is not
| true. If it is not true. Mr.. Wyman
and General Presson can say so. If
it Is true, they can give their author
ity for this classification. if they have
such authority. They did not get it
; from Washington. 1t is not to be
found in the QUESTIONABLE. could
quote Mr.. Wyman's conversations
with me concerning the matter, but
. will not do so for fear that | might
distort them. Let him make his own
statement. The public has right
to it.
saw on Monday q typical case. A
QUESTIONABLE returned to the Angus
Ia board from Mr. Wyman's board
was shown me at the Augusta office.
The local board had placed the man
in Glass 4. He had a wife and child
dependent upon his labor for support.
The district board had changed him
to Glass 9. The sole reason for the
change was endorsed on the back Jf
the QUESTIONABLE as follows:
"fIas only one child" That en-
dorsement was in Mr.. Wyman's hand
writing There Is nothing distorted"
about that
Further, the clerks in the Office Of
! the district board are busily separat
ing the Class 4 cases on the basis 81
number of children. Why? because
that is the principal factor the board
! is considering In placing them.
| This plan of division is arbitrary
and unwarranted. and. as ] have
stated before, is adopted in Maine
only, thus working wicked injus-
tice to the young men OF this State.
which cannot be remedied by eva
sion or justified by the vague state
ments issued by MIR. Wyman and
General Presson.
