Slackers' Detention
In Westchester Jail
Condemned by Knox
No Reason Why Trio Held More
Than a Month Did Not Get
Early Trial. He Says
John C. Knox. Assistant United
States Attorney and chief aid to
United States Attorney Caffey. said
yesterday that he would investigate
the unlawful detention of the thre?
men held :n the Westchester County
jail for failure to register. They are
still in the Tombs.
Mr. Knox said that had the facts as
exclusively presented in The Tribune
yesterday concerning the three men
been in his possession when the two
were brought from White Plains Tues
dav. he would have acted at once.
"If the story in The Tribune is
true," said Mr. Knox, "there is no
question that an injustice has been
done these men. And the fact that
they are poor and comparatively fr.end
lesa is all the more reason why an in
junice should not be inflicted on them.
Mr. McDonald, who it investigating
the case, will be here in the morning
and I w-.ll take up the matter with hip*
then."
What roused Mr. Knox more than
anything else wat the fact that that*
men. arrested for being slackers, had
not been brought to the United States
Marshal here immediately aftar being
turned over to Sheriff Wiesendanger.
of Whitt Plain?.
"There is no excuse why these three
men cou'd nor have been arraigned be?
fore some Federal official a day or so
after their arrest," said Mr. Knox.

Governor Whitman's exemption board

ment issued last night by Edwin S. Har?

having been dictated all the way

"The Governor." said Mr. Harris,
"cannot escape just condemnation for
using hia selection of local exemption
boards for political purposes and for
**.g the conscription act into dis?
repute in this state. His statement re?
garding appeal boards amount? to noth?

"If tht Governor had appointed Re
?ir-.s of h.gh standing in their re?
spective localities it would not have
been so bad," he continued, "but most

Student Aviators
Are Rescued After
Being Blown to Sea
Patrol Boats Searching Waters
Near Boston Aid Yachts
Disabled in Storm
Boston, July 27.?Aviators from the
government training station at Squan
tum had exciting experiences in the
air to-day, when an electrical storm
burst over the c:ty and harbor. Two
machines which were at a considerable
d.stance from the aviation field were
blown seaward :n the heavy rain squall,
and their ab.-.cnce cau?ed great anxiety
for a time.
Boats of the naval patrol fleet wer.?
ordered by the navy yard officials to
search Dorchester and Quincy ba> ?
and the vicinity of Hough's Neck, as it
was thought hkeiy that the missing
aviators would be forced to descend in
the water "The search was kept up
for two hours, when orders were re?
ceived by wireless to abar.aon it. At
the aviation camp it was said that the
musing men had returned, but infor?
mation as to their identity or possible
damage to their airplanes was with?
held. One of the patrol boats was re?
ported to have rescued an aviator from
th? tratar of Quincy Bay, and another
boat w'as said to have on board a por?
tion of a wrecked machin??.
In the search for the aviators the
patrol fleet assisted a large number of
small yachts which, had become dis?
abled in the squall. They towed IB
dismasted sloops, vawls wi*h -?ail? ton,
and spars gone, and power boats which
had bee;-, pat out of commission by
their Itrngglei in the heavy sea.
Three lives were lost and wi.jespread
property damage caused north and ea?t
o: th s city.
James F. Broderick, of Amesbury, a
p.-vate of the 2d Field Artillery, in
camp at Boxford, was struck and killed
by lightning. In Danvers, Mis? Eliza
Currier and Miss Lili,an Fletcher, both
of Middleton. were killed when an un?
finished house in which they sought
shelter was torn from its foundations.
Five of the remaining nine of the
famous "Salem Willows"' succumbed to
the fo/ce of the gale.

No Change in Size

Tactical Reorganization May

Washington, July tl Pia-.s for
| tactical reorganization of the army are
not advanced to the point where any
? immediate change in the si'.e ar ''orma
tion of divisions now ia thil country
i is contemplated. It was stated of?
ficially to-day that the ?viaiona
regulars. National Guard ar.d National
Army would move to their eamr
the formation of the present "?ypica!"
lafontry diviaioo prescribed by law.
which the President is authorized to
vary as he sees fit.
Presumably a r-orgar. ?ation of Gen?
eral Pershing's forces in harmony
with the smaller division plan now in
vogue in European armies already has
been effected. Tha exact nature of the
change hai not been disclosed.
A typical infantry division of the
American army makes a total force of
about 28,000 men. The French use
about l'-.OOO men to a division, and tha
Germans about the same, and in trench
fighting the unit of organization ap?
pears to be the corps, rather than the
division. The typical division as it
exists car. be shaped easily to meet
any emergency, however, and that is
what will be done or, the basis of
actual experience in France.
