for Grinlths had only one way OF fght-

Keep 'em worried: don't let 'em get

BY CAPTAIN LORD DUNsANY
Written for the United Press.

LONDON, July by the end OF the
South African war Sergeant Cane had
got one thing very well fixed in his
mind, and that was that war was an
over-rated amusement He said "he was
fed up with it, partly because that
misused metaphor was then new, partly
because everyone was saying 10: ne felt
1t right down in his bones. and he had
a long memory.
So when wonderful rumors came %
the East Anglian village where he lived
on August 4. 1914, Sergeant Cane said
That means war" and decided then and
there TO have nothing to do with 10; If
was somebody else's turn. and he felt
he had done enough. Then came Aug
ust 4, and England was true 10 her
destiny; and then came Lord Kitchener's
appeal for slen. Sergeant Cane had a
family to look after and a nice little
house: he had left the army ten years.
In the next week all the men went
who had been in the army before: an
that were young enough: and a good
springling Of the young men, too, who
had never been in the army Men asked
Cane II he was going. and he said
straight out, NO" By the middle OF
August Cane was affecting the situation.

That the district exemption hoard is
applying more stringent interpreted
ton to the rules for classification in
cases where claims are made for de-
ferred classification for agricultural or
occnpational reasons is showy in the
missionaries that have ~ been re-
turned to the local exemption board.
Out of list of forty eight cases in

they were working on farms or for
other occupational reasons. thirty nine
have been placed in Glass l by the dis
trict board.
Eight of the others were placed in
Glass 2 C and one other was placed in
Glass r.. very large part of these
cases were agricultural claims. They
were made by men who registered
June 5, and on such claims the local
exemption board has no jurisdiction as
to classification. The percentage
placed in Glass is very much higher
than in similar cases of the first regis
tration that were passed on by the dis
trict exemption board Cards were be-
ing mailed today to those who were
