Merely $ays Dwyor's Book
Charging ."Pull" in Exemp
' tions "Beneath Notice"
MAY TALK WHEN BETTER
"The statement isn't worthy of a
reply."
nn,t . the comment toilny u
Mnyor Smith retarding criticisms made j
by John P. Dwycr, secretary of local i
draft board No. 2, in a history ot me
selective service law in Philadelphia.
In this volume, which tells of the ob
stacles confronting, the draft boards,
Mr. Dwycr said the Mnyor did not sug
jtest him (Dwycr) with a view ot aid
ing in the draft work.
"His idea, as stated by himself,
wrote Mr. Dwycr, "was that he had
tho power to designate men for the
service, and that those whom he desig
nated dare not refuse. He gave as his
reason for my selection that he desired
to soak me."
Mayor Scorns to Keply
Mayor Smith, who is ill at hu home
In Glenside, made this reply to Mr.
Dwycr :
"I would not dignify such n state
ment by comment. I may have some
thing to say when I am able to get
about."
Mr. Dwyer also asserts in his book
that wealthy men gave the draft board
more trouble by trying to save their
chauffeurs and other servants exempted
than parents of drafted mpn.
I The book also contains criticism of
former (iovcrnor Tlnimbaugh, and
United States Attorney Frauds Fisher
Kane for their alleged "lack of en
thusiasm." Writes of Incidents
Tn part Mr. Dwycr writes concerning
the Mayor:
"He seems to have had the impres
sion it was going to be n disagreeable
job, and desiring to use a power he
thought he had, to give me a few tin- .
pleasant moments, he proceeded on thnt
line. As he is a man of few ideas, this
was likely to be the' one that came
closer to the mark than any that camo
from within. There have been a num- I
ber of unpleasant moments during tho
last two years. It is some satisfaction ;
that all of them have not been mine.
Of the efforts of politicians and po
licemen to influence members of the lo
cnl. board, he says:
"One of the most active spirits in
the effort with the other members ot
our board was one of the professing
reformers of our neighborhood, who,
unlike two policemen1 of the district who
sought to influence us in several cases
where that gang method of pulling the
string was unsuccessfully employed,
failed to realize he was dealing with
men who, having taken an oath to per
form a public service, regarded the ob
ligation seriously."
Fling at Kane
Taking a fling at T'nited States At
torney Kane, he writes :
"As a result of tlie ngnt we mnuc iu
deal justly and protect the interests of
the government as well as the rights'
of every registrant in our district, Fed
eral Grand Jury, upon evidence sup
plied by us, indicted the members of
District Board No. 2 indicted them .
ngainst the personal plea of the Unitedi)
States Tattorncy, wuo nwuj ""
from trial by refusing to permit their
cases to go before a jury. The dis
trict board finnlly was dismissed from
office by the President of the United
States." , . ,
"During this period of trial we were
not only subjected to indignities by
registrants and their relatives, but were
constantly under investigation by agents
of the Department of Justice and the,
American Protective league.
"We managed to relieve the strain
at times by almost convincing the agent
of the Department of Justice or, the
praateur sleuth of the American Pro
tective League they had caught us in
tho act of pretending to be unwilling
to exhibit the questionnaire ot me regis
trants they were sure had been kept out
oE the army contrary to regulations."

Sound Reason Given by Carl H.
Trik, of Queen Lane, for
Lone Casualty
HOME WITH PART OF 332D
Tiieutennnt Carl II. Trik, 502 Queen

York nboard the Dnen d'Aosta yester
day with pnrt of the .1112(1 Infantry.
mnde up of drafted men from Ohio and
western Pennsylvania.
The regiment had n unique record
he said, only one Disunity having re
sulted during more than n month of
service along the Kalis .1 front, chiefly
because "the enemy always ran."'
The 332d Infantry got tho first bap
tism of fire on October 1, when it was
brigaded with the Thirty-seventh Ital
ian Division, Ducu d'Anstn's army, and
on October 0 was assigned to the Tenth
Army, under General Lord Coven,
which wns composed of three British
divisions, two Italian and the Ameri
can regiment. ""
"We didn't see much fighting," Lieu
tenant Trik said today, "for the most
of the time we were chasing tho Aus
trian. The only time thnt the cnomy
offered any resistance wns when we
reached tho Taglinmento ltiver, the day
before the nrniistic went into effect.
The only reason why they attempted to
hold that line thnt I can give is they
realized the end wns near nnd they
hoped to retain as much land as pos
sible. "During the engagement, which only
lasted fifteen minutes, we lost one man
killed and threo wounded, but we forced
a crossing nnd bv the next afternoon,
November 4, at B o'clock, we had ad
vanced n considerable distance. The
