dice and Firemen
May Be Exempted
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune,

Especial Dispatch to The T,lbune)
WASHINGTON, Sept. Provost
Marshal General Crowder is consider
ing the liberalization of the draft rules
to facilitate the exemption or deferred
classification of both policemen and
firemen in every large city in the coun-
try, it was learned here from excellent
auth ority tonight. 1t is doubtful that
formal exemption order will be issued
by the War Department., but local
boards will receive clear instructions
indicating that, in the opinion of the
government, the personnel of both po-
lice and fire departments are perform
ing essential war work, which justifies
their exemption from military service.
This ruling is made necessary, officials
state. by the serious situation which
would follow wholesale Withdrawals
from city police and fire departments
under the next draft. This situation
has already been experienced in the
national capital, where it has been
necessary to detail soldiers from Camp
Meade to fill the ranks Of the local
police department depleted by the first
draft and voluntary enlistment.

Profteers Called Traitors

War profiteers and strikers were de-
nounced together as traitors to America
by the Rev. DR.. John R, Straton, in
Calvary Baptist Church. West Fifty
seventh Street, yesterday. He declared
that the worker who took advantage of
war conditions to further his own
special interests was an exception to
the great masses, whose spirit of CO.
operation was greater than ever before,
He said
"The overwhelming majority of work
ing men have shown a desire to do every
thing in their power to advance the
war industries, gladly subord mating
their own interests to the public good,
and to leave some of the questions be-
tween capital and labor until the war
is won. The war is teaching us that
the forces OF cooperation are greater
than the forces of competition"
DIR. Straton praised the leadership of
Samuel Gompers.

Police Lay Death of
Photographer to Fall

Detectives investigating the death
Of Charles A. Scherer, a photographer
found dead in his studio dark room at
IL Hamilton Place Saturday, declared
yesterday they believed an accident
was the cause Of death, not murder,
as at first supposed. The inquiry will
be continued, however, to clear up GER
tain phases of the case.
The detectives, after working all
night on the mystery, give it as their
reconstruction of the events leading
up to the photographer death, that
he slipped on a rug when entering his
studio and fell, striking the side of his
head against heavy armchair.
Scherer, according to their evidence,
started to mop up the blood from the
floor and his head with handkerchief,
and staggered to a basin, where he
attempted 70 battle his wound A wig
he wore became loose, the flow of blood
increased, and he collapsed, they say,
falling into a lot of Photographic
plates. His skull was fractured
The supposition of the police is that
if the man had been assaulted, he
would have made an outcry, and no one
has yet been found who heard noises
issuing from the studio during the
time Scherer was supposed to be there.

The country has the comforts, of
home, too. Bob went away from his
city home with some misg;vings, but,
after he had been at his vacation place
for few days, he wrote home: Il am
satisfied in such a nice place. Nice
beds to live in!"
Even the meals looked good to Bob.
Before he mao had chance to test
the living accommodations just de-
scribed, he set down in his mental
diary note concerning his first

two great big bowls of milk, one plate
of rice with a tablespoonful of sugar
and one-half monstrous muskmelon,
and this I call very fine supper"

On the Screen

"Cuddles," who used to be
"Georgie's' visavis in the Gus Ed
wards reviews, made her debut on the
screen at the Rivoli yesterday in q
perturbation of "The Cruise of the
Make Believe"
The story is filled with the philoso-
ply Of "Pollyanna" and Daddy Long
Legs" and of course "Cuddles," whose
real name is Lila Lee, is the girl in
the case. Miss Lee is considerably
larger than she was when we saw her
couple of years ago. and one would
hardly dare address her as "Cuddles"
now.
Even with the added dignity and
weight, however, we hardly thought
she was old enough to marry and We

STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
 URGES ALL PRECAUTIONS

Little Rock, Oct 15.-The State Council of Defense yesterday, in con formity with the request of the U. s. Public Health Service, unanimously adopted resolution requesting that all public meetings of every sort be discontinued during the prevalence of the influenza epidemic, all over the state; and that all schools, theaters, churches, courts and other places where large numbers of people con gregate, be closed. in order to pre- in places where it does not yet pre- vail; also that all school children be kept at home, and that promiscuous visiting be stopped; that children be kept off the streets. as it is easy to communicate the disease among the children of a neighborhood. It is further urged that all funerals be private, and that large gatherings at funerals be discouraged.
 The Council urges all regular or practical nurses who can possibly do so to register with the State Board of Health, at the State capitol, Little Rock, telephone Main 6422, by wire, telephone or mail, offering their ser vices for mobilization emergency units inside the state, transportation and expenses to be paid. This is an imperative need, as the demand for nurses is much greater than can be supplied in Little Rock

COTTON MARKET
 IS IRREGULAR
Conflicting Opinions as to Pros poets of Peace-ClOses Barely Steady at an Advance of 2 to IT Points.

New York, Oct. 14.-Conflicting opinions as to peace prospects and the possible effects on prices were probably reflected in the irreguarity of today's cotton market.
 The general list closed barely stady at net advance of to 17 points.
 The market sold up right after the call, on covering, Liverpool and trade buying
 Increased Southern offerings later led to scattering liquidation and a sharp break. The volume of business then tapered off. There was no change in the general character of crop and weather news, and compara- lively little was heard regarding the spot situation.
 Reports that Turkey had asked for peace seemed to stimulate buying slightly during the early afternoon, but the attention of the trade seemed to be largely monopolized by Ger many's reply to President Wilson s inquiries. Much of the earlier trad ing was attributed to the evening up of commitments.
 Spot cotton quiet; middling 32.60c.
