FEW ESCAPE DRAFT
AS MORAL DEFICIENTS
Officials Gratiiied That Num-
Der Totals Only 2001-COn-
fusion Over Order

WASHINGTON. Feb .15.---In his re-
mort on the operation Of the selective
service act, the provost marshal gem
eral says:
The snlcctive service law authorized
the President TO exclude or discharge
the morally deficient This was defined
by the Presidents regulation to include
persons convicted and sentenced for
felony i'm any court Of record, thus con-
forming to the general rule forbidding
such enllstmeuts The total number of
such persons 200i, was gratfyingly
small.
ION this subject there is a pronounced
difference OF opinion among the boards.
considerable majority of the boards
believe that the morally deficient should
be held for service first. because 1t is not
fair to others to discharge them. and.
second, because the discipline of the
army 'and the opportunity to prove their
usefulness to their country would be
of benefit to them The dissenting MI
norty emphasize the danger to the
moral tone of the army II moral defec-
tives are admitted A number of boards
say they should be held. but assigned TO
special service or organized in separate
units.
In the case OF persons already under
arrest or on bail on charges OF crime
there was no uniformity of action. A
few boards discharged persons of this
class a larger number held them If the
Prosecuting Attorney was willing to dis
continue the prosecution some reported
them on Form li6-A Cfailed to appear)
some discharged them temporarily pend
ing the outcome of the prosecution
many simply certified them for serv-
ice.
THE most common practice, apparent
ly, was to certify for service those
charged with misdemeanors. but to post.
pone or temporarily discharge those
charged with felony. In many cases 1,
appears that the civil authorities con
sented to the action of the board In
holding men for service"

Says the Atlanta Constitution,
From this distance it appears that
the crisis on the western front has
about reached its peak
1t looks as though the allied forces
can give way no further without a
very serious break in the line
So there is going to be no further
giving way!
The line, by bending, has held up to

With the deep-meaning words of
determination of Field Marshal Haig

Of bursting projectiles and believing
cannon, the brave men OF the allied
crimes will stand, they are bound to
stand! And when they move it will
be forward!

FRIENDS TO THE RESCUE

II happens that Senator Eloke Smith
needs more friends in Georgia to as
sist him in explaining his stand
against the administration on the
Overman bill. Now a certain press
bureau that bills the Georgia news
| papers so regularly and faithfully
from Atlanta is helping him. A full
explanation went out yesterday from
the state capital to all the little
dailles and, presumably to the week
lies.
And it was bold enough in its in
trcductory sentences to intimate that
Senator Smiths stand has been ap-
proved in Atlanta Well, that Is cute

and loyalty to the administration

Atlanta were it true, but it isn't not
one word OF it. Atlanta hasn't a
dozen citizens outside of Hoke Smiths
political family that approve Of his
fight against the present administra-
ton on the Overman bill or anything
else calculated as this is to retard
war preparation.
Senator Smith. has absolutely no
principle in mind. His one purpose
Is to obstruct where he is not big l.
That has been his policy since the
day he was born into public life in
Georgia. 1t will remain his policy till
he Is dead and buried He isn't going
to help President Wilson and the
democrats do anything. Mark the
