MITCHELL OF BRUMBAUGH A. MITCHELL PALMER Accusation that the Republican Organization in Pennsylvania by control of draft exemption boards has placed itself in the position to "barter in the blood" of the young men of the State was made today by ex-Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, Wilson leader in 'Pennsylvania, in an interview at the Bellevue-Strat-ford Hotel. Asked if he had any reply to make to the charges made by Palmer, Governor Brumbaugh said at Harrisburg this afternoon: "This is the first I knew that Mr. Palmer had made any charges of any kind. They havo not come to my notice. I have not had opportunity of reading them. Therefore, I can have nothing to say in reply." "The conscription machine in Pennsylvania as built up by the Republican Organization," said Mr. Palmer, "is not on the level. The Republican Organiza tion, by the appointment of hard-and-fast Organization men to exemption boards throughout the State, has become a dictator as regards the lives of thousands of our young men within the draft age. The Organization has the power to say who shall go to war and who shall stay at home. "You will notice that in Philadelphia and also in other places great care has been taken to place police surgeons upon exemption boards, and also so to place other doctors who are close to the Organization. These doctors have the final say as to the question of who shall go to war and who shall stay at home. "Suppose I am an Organization faithful, and I say to the doctor that I have a floating kidney. Do you suppose that the examination of that doctor will refute my statement concerning my physical condition? Not unless the leopard of Organization'politics has greatly changed its spots. "nreanlzatlon.controlled exemption boards will give organization men running inr-oi-nee the power to send all of the voters un favorable to them to tho trenches, and keep enough of the favorable voters behind abso lutely to Insure their election. Political bosses will be ln a splendid position to punish political opponents by sending the sons of the latter to the front." PROTESTS SENT TO PRESIDENT Mr. Palmer said that the exemption board matter was tapldly becoming a national scandal. Protests, he said, already have been sent to the President from all sections of the State. Mr. Palmer laid he would not be ur- Conllnurd on race Six, Column Four GREECEBREAKS WITH TEUTONS Hands Passports to.

This infor mation waa received In a dpatch from Athens today. Greece's rorma.1. entry Into the war on the side of the Eptente is expected to follow toon. It was reported that Greece had handed the diplomats envoys representing- Ger many, Austria-Hungary. Bulg-arli and Tur key their passports.

Greece will be the eleventh European na tion to take the fleM against the German A The war atrength of the Greek army la estimated at 460,000. PALMER SAYS EXEMPTION BOARDS f"PHE exemption boards appointed by Governor Brumbaugh are not on the level. They givo the ward-heeler, the county boss and the all-round cor rupt politician the say as to who shall go to war and who shall not. Theso exemption boards offer poli ticians tho opportunity to barter in the blood of thousands of young men of the State for political gain. Republican Organization men run ning for office could send enough un favorable voters away to the trenches to insure their election. Protests have been sent to Presi dent Wilson from all sections of the State, and I expect action from the White House. Tho situation is just this, citizens of Pennsylvania: Do you want the life of your son juggled about by a lot of politicians? Do you want the say of whether or not your boy goes into tho trenches to rest with a ward boss? BUXTON-KNIGHT TENNIS WINNERS Beat Hoffner and Young at Whitemarsh in Very Easy Fashion COURSE IS VERY WINDY Bu a Staff Correspondent WHITEMARSH. Pa., June 29. C. B, Buxton and Fred IV. Knight won their matches In the semifinal round of the Individual championship here this afternoon with considerable ease. Buxton gained a much easier victory over Oeorge Hoffner than had been anticipated, the match ending on the fifteenth hole, with Buxton 4 ui and 3 to play. Knight had matters virtu ally all his own way In his match with J. J, Young, who was 6 down and 4 to play, at the finish. A very high wind blew across the course and It appeared to bother Hoffner much more than Buxton, for on several holes his driving was anything but straight down the course. Added to this, his putting was not nearly as good as It might have been. Bux ton, as usual, gave very ttw strokes away and he was Infinitely superior to his oppo. nent on the greens. After the first few holes, there was very little doubt as to the outcome of the match between Knight and Young, for, after halv ing the first hole, Knight won six holes In succession, and at the turn he was 6 up. .Coming In, Young Improved, but he waa un able to stave off defeat, although he car ried the match to the fourteenth hole. George Parry, the giant killer,, from the Old York Road Country Club, met more than his match In Fred Knight, of Aronlmlnk, In the third round of match play of the Individ ual championship here today. Knight won, 5 up and 4 to play, and although, he waa not' playing at a It gait, his golf was steadi ness Itself and Parry never had a real chance after the first hole or two.

At the same time they drdvo nearer to Lens. Tho Germans, using picked troops, as saulted the French lines at widely sepa rated points on the Alsne and Meus fronts. Paris reports that all these at tacks failed. Berlin, Jiowever, claims a sweeping vie- tory In tho neighborhood of Cerny, on the Alsne front, and a gain of about one third of a mile on a front nearly two miles wide west of the Jleu'se. The statements of tho British and French War Offices today showed that violent lighting raged over a large part of the western front. LON'nON". Juno 29. South and southwest ol oppy today Field Marshal Hals struck a sudden aijd tremen dous blow at the' German ltnes, capturing the enemy's forward positions over a front of 2000 yards and gaining the whole ob jective sought. Tho victory was reported Jn the Field Marshal's official statement today. "South and southwest of Oppy at night and early this morning w. attacked and captured tho enemy'B forward position along" a front of 2000 yards," he asserted. "Our whole objective was gained. "South of the Souchez River we contlnua to gain ground on a wide front. We entered Avion, taking further prisoners and six machlno guns." The sudden stroke at Oppy Is another example of 'Halg's plan of keeping tha enemy guessing by surprise attacks In force. There ias been very little fighting around pppy for weeks In thQ last few days seem nsly the British have concentrated all their forco for the encircling drive around Lens. Tho Germans probably likewise havo been hurriedly massing reserves t6 defend this coal city. In this situation the British commander-in-chief apparently picked one of the vital points In the switch line which connects Drccourt with the so-called Siegfried sec tion of the Hlndenburg line for a smashing ' blow.
