70 PER CENT OF
new RECISTRANTS
Want EXEMPTION

About 20 percent of the newly reg
istered men are claiming deferred
classification for various reasons, ac-
cording to Chairman Carr of the Rich
mond selective service board. The
board has begun to classify the men
whose questionnaires have been re-
ceived. Most of the claims for de-
ferred classification are based on de-
tendency grounds, the chairman said
I'VE intend to go over each indi-
vidual case thoroughly said Mr..
Carr. "and will of course grant de-
ferred classification where we feel the
registrant is entitled to it. But un-
less he can show that he really should
be placed in deferred class we will
certainly. put him in Class L.
About 90 percent of the men who
registered June 5, 1918. have joined
the navy, the chairman said, and these
men would have all been placed in
Glass l. Some claims for deferred
classification are being made on the
grounds that the registrant is engaged
in a necessary industrial occupation.

Won Kuehlmann to be credited with
'probity and honor while crimes so

THE excuse for the attack on the
Llandovery Castle, says the Daily
Mail, was lie and the German officer
who told it did not believe it himself
when he said to the captain:
"You are carrying eight American
flight officers
If there had been a particle of truth
in the charge, the newspaper adds, the
submarine captain had only to stop the

proof of Allied guilt in using hospital
ships for transports.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Comment-
ing on the new work or tight reguld-
tions which went into effect yester-
day, Provost Marshal General Grow"
der emphasized today that the order
does not affect men outside or drait
ages. Several communities have con-
fused it with the anti-loafer laws OF
some states.
General Crowder explained that the
work or fight order is purely mill
tary step and that regulations regard
ing employment of military service
for unregistered men are not embrac-
ed in his functions. The only erect
the order has upon persons not SUD
ject to the draft, is that 1t offers them
more opportunities of employment.
Places vacated by men liable to draft
necessarily are left open for men out
side of the draft, he explained.
General Crowder's Statement
OF the service performed by men
who leave non-essential pursuits 10
take ND essential work, General Crow
der said:
THE army apd navy are taking the
men who are best able physically to
do the fighting. But that is only one
part of the national task imposed by
the war. The other part, the part
that falls on the other man, is to set
free these men who are to do the
fighting. Every man who helps to set
free a fighting man is helping to hsnt
and win the war.
