Provost Marshal Asks That Week
Re Set Aside and Special Aid
Obtained For Work.

Orders have been received b.
the local exemption board TO the
effect that all missionaries OF
registranjs who have been given
deferred classification must be re-
examined This information is
conveyed in q communication from
Provost Marshal General CrowdcT
and forwarded by Adjutant General
F. S. Dickson from Springfield
The communication states that
when the new quota bill. appor-
tioning quotas on the strength of
class one. was in the committee
and before the house Of congress
for discussion. an argument was
brought forth Gisfayoring some
conditions now prevalent
A charge OF unfairness was
made in basing quotas, on class
one. because OF the inequality o.
the work Of boards showing wide
variance Of strength in class ona
IN counties and jurisdictions where
conditions were subs antially
equal
THIS argument was met by the
statement that the war depart
ment proposed taking corrective
procedure nation wide iE its ap-
plicat'on for the purpose Of remov-
ing this inequality where it was
not justified by equal conditions.
The communication requests
that local boards set aside one
week for investigation OF doubtful
cases. and that the new classified
ton should be scientifically adj
justed now so as to avoid the ne
cessity of proceeding to the de.
ferred classes.
Local boards are also instructed
to re-examine under the new stan
dards of physical examination
now being issued. all doubtful cas-
es which may have fallen into
groups B, {. or d. either under the
physical examination held by the
board or rejection at camp.

The statement is made that there
are many men now in class two,

tons A, B. and B, and in class

things in order that the war may be
more efficiently prosecuted" Gen. Per-
shing, in Cablegram to Secretary

1.-The salvage service is effecting a
saving to the government considera-
bly, in excess of 100000 each day."
said Gen. Pershing. But the saving
in money. while of great Importance,
is not the vital part of the work.
We are saving material imperatively
needed at the front-materia that no
expenditure of money can i,nnedi-
ately replace. We are directly saving
ocean tonnage, which is seriously
reeded. every week, and indirectly
releasing labor for service in the
shipyards. on the railroads and in

PEACE AND ARM|ST|CE
Terms MAY Be GIVEN
Senator Hitchcock Thinks Allies
viii Act on Two
Phases Together.

Commenting upon the report that
the permanent peace terms were to
be submitted by the allies to Ger
many at the same time that the terms
of the armistice asked by Germany
are submitted, Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee, said he had no doubt
but this would be the case.
He said that Germany has asked an
armistice after having agreed to ac-
cept the peace terms laid down In
the various addresses of the Presi-
dent. If there is to be an armistice
been told what the terms of peace are
to be in detail and after she has
agreed to them. An erroneous idea
has grown up in some quarters. he
said, that the peace terms. to a con-
siderable extent, would be left for
discussion after the armistice has
been entered into.
That the allies of the United States.
France. Great Britain. Italy and others
have some terms of their own which
they desire added to the terms out
lined by the President is undoubtedly
true. it was said. When the allies
have agreed among themselves what
all the peace terms shall be they will
be submitted to Germany. If Ger
many will not accept tlfen. then there
will be no armistice. The armistice
terms will be such that the allies will
be in a military position to enforce
the peace terms which they have de-
termined upon.
1t was made very clear that the
peace with Germany will be a peace
dictated by the allies. and there is to
be no long discussion over the terms
at a peace table after hostilities have
been halted.
