WHOLESmE CliEMS
P fll EXEMPTIONS
Crowder Says Suf/erera
Are Those With Merit
v to Claims
i ■■ ■
(AmdiM Pmi.) '
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.—Wholesale
elalma for exemptions from the army
draft, reported from many sections,
caused Provost Marshal General
Crowder to telegraph the governors
Of the states tonight directing that
local boards “reduce discharges for
dependency to a far more restricted
Class and to very necessities and
Clearly defined circumstances."
In some districts as high as eighty
per cent of the registrants called for
examination are filing claims for dis
charge on the ground of dependent
relatives. Such a condition Indicates,
Oeneral Crowder said, that unfair ad
vantage is being taken of the regula
tions designed to protect men who
properly should be exempted, and ao
tually threatens to interfere seriously
with the raising of the national army.
Army-la necessary.
"Section 9 of the selective service
la wexempts no person from military
service on the ground of dependency.
It only authorises the president to
exclude or discharge from draft 'those
In a status with respect to persons de
pendent upon them for support which
renders their exclusion or discharge
advisable.’
“The controlling necessity Is to raise
an army. It Is advisable to disturb
dependents just as little as the neces
sity of raising an army will permit.
To this end Section IS of the regula
tions was compiled carefully and af
ter the most earnest consideration.
If experience Is to prove that the
the generous conditions prescribed by
Section 18, or any abuse of them, will
interfere with the raising of an army,
then it Is no longer, advisable to dis
charge so wide a class and the condi
tions stated therein will have to be
restricted until an advisable rule is
reached.
"Nothing has happened (o change
the belief that the persons enumer
ated In Section IS could be discharg
ed without Interfering with the rais
ing of an array, but there are Indica
tions that abuses of Section 18 may
render Its eontinuance no longer ad
visable.
Prsvtslea Being Abased.
“Reports are to the effect that, in
some districts, as high as eighty per
cent ef persons called before local
boards are filing claims for discharge
on the ground of dependent relatives.
Such a per centage of claims when
viewed In connection with all avail
able statistics Indicates beyond ques
tion that advantage Is being taken of
the provisions of the law and regula
tions which were Intended to reduce
to a minimum the misery at home
normally attendant upon war.
“There la a moral certainty. In the
extravagance of this per centage that
hundreds of unfounded claims are in
cluded In these totals.
"This state of affairs greatly In
creases the burden of local boards for.

Death of 4'
Accidental,
Says Jury
i*iH«ii(ta rrmi
ATLANTA, OA.t ‘Aug. I—A coroner's
Jury Investigating the killing of four
civilians, Including a woman, during
field artillery practice yesterday at
Little Kennesaw Mountain, thirty
miles north of here, returned a ver
dict late today that the tragedy wee
purely occidental and "that we fall to
find say criminal responsibility.”
The verdict was retuiped after the
Jury had made an Inspection of the
scene on the mountainside where the
shrapr.el had exploded, and after Lieu
tenant-Colonel Lytle yrawn of the en
gineers corps had testified and ex
plained to the Jurymen the technical
causes which he believed were respon
sible, for the accident.
8 track Soft Clay
General opinion was that the shell
struck soft clay on the side of the
mountain and *as deflected without
exploding, traveling a mils from Its
target and discharging upon percus
sion where the unfortunate victims
were stai ding as spectators to the
artillery practice.
A report of a board of military au
thorities appointed early today by Col.
Charles 'Noyes, commander at Fort Mc
Pherson, to investigate the accident,
will be mnde probably tomorrow. The
findings of the board it was said to
night, will be forwardod to the com
mander of the southeastern military
district at Charlestion, S. C.
Battery No. 2 of the officers reserve
training camp was just completing a
day of target practice late yesterday
when the final shot from a three-inch
battiry bere down upon Little Kenne
saw, taking Its death toll. Both Little
Kennesaw and Kennesaw Mountain
were being used as targets.
The fatal shell struck the trunk of
a tree. Instantly killing Mrs. Seth Har
ris and Charles Martin, a negro. James
Hollaman, another negro died shortly
afterwards from loss of blood, his
right leg having been blown off, and
James Hollaman, Jr., his son, expired
before anrbulancee could bring medical
aid. Willie Coleman, a fourth negro
was seriously wounded.
Os Final Hike
It was learned tonight virtually all
of the companies of Infantry and field
artillery of the officers reserve regi
ment v hlch had been encampment on
the outskirts of Marietta for the last
two days had departed and were con
tinuing the hike northward. The man
euvers are the final features of the
military schooling being given to the
men before they are awarded commis
sions.
claim exemption, only the uncompro
mising action of local boards can pre
vent a new regulation on the subject
of dependency which shall reduce dis
charges for dependency to a far more
restricted class and to very necessit
ies and clrarly defined circumstances.
Hesest Claims Imperilled
"It is thus apparent that the filing
of these Improper claims will react
directly and Injuriously on persons
whom the present regulations were
designed to protect, and that the wel
fare of persons who have filed bona
fide claims under the present gener
ous clause of the regulations. Is ser
iously Imperilled by persons who have
filed claims without merit, and that
the only protection of persons whose
cases are within the meaning of the
present rules, lies In the power of local
boards to refuse exemption In every
doubtful case.
"It is true that cases of discharge
on the ground of dependency are ap
pealed to the district board, but this
| clause is only Inserted to secure uni
formity of action. District boards are
I to examine these cases to discover de
partures from the law, regulations and
rulings; and they will not and cannot
open every case on Its merits. It la In
the local boards, therefore, that the
solution of the difficulty end the pro
tection of deserving claimants lies.”

"For twenty long years I suffered
with stomach trouble and indigestion
and tried everything I ever heard of
for it, but kept getting worse all the
time," she continued. “I just had to
force myself to eat enough to keep me
alive and what little I did eat made
me suffer hours of agony, from gas
that would rise on my stomach. I had
awful headaches and dlzsy spells con
stantly and was so nervous I could
hardly sleep. I fell off in weight and
got ao weak and no-account that 1
felt I could never be well again.
"One of my neighbors told me what

evidence of willful violation of orders

adjutant general of the army as a de- <
sorter and the local police will be
asked to arrest him on sight and turn
him over to the nearest army post for
trial. Where there was no intention
to desert however, and the missing man
reports of his own will, the board
will send him on to the camp with .
an explanation and a recommendation
as to the degree of culpability.
Flaal Examination
Arrived at the camp, the party will
undergo final physical examination by
army doctors. If any are rejected, the
local board will be notified and an
alternate sent forward for each such ;
case. The net quota of a board will

ENGLAND TO FACE
AFTER WAR PROBLEM
LONDON. Aus. 9.-“The problems
which will face the British govermnen*
vhen the war comes to nn end will he
far more ,-llfllcult even than the carrv
ing on of the war," says a statement
from Bonar Law In discussing the char
ter of the new ‘ British Trade Corpora*
lion.”
“What Is needed for the develop
ment of the trade of the country,"
says Mr. BoBnar Law, “Is that there
should be some method by which char
acter should be regarded as an asset
and as a security. There should be
some means by which young men with
out the capital of their older competi
tors should have a chance of getting
the credit which would enable them
to establish new lines of business, and
!n that way help the development of
ihc trade of the country.
“The one thing that will be needed
more than anything else after the war
Is credit, without which trade and in
dustry will be paralysed and unem
ployment and distress Immense.’’
