ONLY FIVE OF
TWENTY TWO IN
DISTRICT PASS
Third County Board Examin
ing Men Today; to Pass on
Exemptions Saturday
Out of the first twenty-two men of
the forty summoned for examina
tion the draft board of the
Third county district at Elizabeth
ville to-day, only five men passed the
physical tests and did not file ex
emption claims. Seven men called
for examination this morning want
to be exempted to support depen
dants, while ten were rejected phy
sically.
Asserting that to fill out an ex
emption paper was too much trouble,
Harry Boyanoski, refused to file any
claim although he is married and is
the father of five children.
Yesterday the board examined
twenty-five men. Of this number
four passed, eleven claimed exemp
tion and ten were rejected. The
board will probably act on the ex
emption claims of the men examin
ed yesterday and to-day on Satur
day.
The men passed until noon to-day
are: John Welker, Lloyd Bowman,
Harry Boyanoski, Ralph Grimm and
Joseph Steinner.
Work on passing on the exemp
tion claims for the Perry quota will
be started next week. Ot ninetv
two summoned, thirty-six failed the
same number filed exemption claims
two had previously enlisted and one
failed to appear and thirteen passed.
Make Ruling
Nearly two dozen of the men who
were ordered to report on or before
yesterday to the Paxtang draft board
for the physical examination will be
reported to the War Department us
though they had passed the physi
cal test and did not claim exemption
and unless the delinquents show a
good reason subsequently for not re
porting on time they will be put in
the same category as the men who
will go to help make up the first new
army. Local draft board members
said this to-day and they added that
this ruling will apply to aliens as
well as citizens, nothwithstanding
that the foreigners may have a right
ful claim to exemption. The draft

THURSDAY EVENING,
boards say they will put the matter
up to their superiors to determine
whether the aliens should be dis
charged from the draft. It is prob
able that some of the men who fail
ed to report are now in the Army,
but more than half are foreigners,
one batch living near Bressler and
Enhaut and the other at Swatara
Station. All the men called by the
third county district board respond
ed yesterday and to-day.
The board of the third city district
this morning examined Arleigh Mil
ton Miller, Allentown, whose tempo
rary address is 271 Muench street,
this city, and Miller passed the phy
sical test. He filed a dependency ex
emption clatm.
After three days of examinations
in which time 314 men were sum
moned before the Second county
draft board. only forty-five men
passed the physical tests and waived
the exehiption claims. Because of
this discouraging showing the board
has sent notices to 250 additional
men to appear next week. One hun
dred and seven of the men passed
have .claimed exemptions on the
grounds of dependents or industrial
pursuits. The number of men re-1
jected physically, was 111.
Passing on the exemption claims
of the men of the Second country
district will start next Wednesday.
Less than one-fourth of the quota
required from the Second district has
passed and waixed the exemption
claims.

tRISBUHG TELEGRAPH
TEXT OF PEACE M
FOR REDUCTION
AND RESTORATION OFTERRITORY
( Continued From Page 1 )
as if stricken by a universal madness to run to the abyss and
to lend its hand to its own suicide?
"In such a terrible situation as in the presence of a menace
so serious we who have no particular political aim, who do not
listen to suggestions or to the interests of any of the belliger
ent parties but are solely compelled by a sentiment of our
supreme duty as the Common Father of the faithful, by the
solicitation of our children who implore our intervention and
our pacifying work.
"Through the voice even of humanity and of reason we
once more emit the cry of peace and we renew a pressing
appeal to those who hold in their hands the destinies of nations.
But in order no longer to speak in general terms as the circum
stances had counselled us in the past we now wish to make a
more concrete and practical proposal and to invite the govern
ments of the belligerent peoples to come to an agreement upon
the following points which seem to be a basis of a just and
durable peace, leaving to them the task of analyzing and com
pleting them.
Backed by Moral Force of Right
"First of all the fundamental points must be that the
material force of arms be substituted by the moral force of
right from which shall arise a fair agreement by all for the
simultaneous and reciprocal diminution of armaments accord
ing to the rules and guarantees to be established, in a measure
necessary and sufficient for the maintenance of public order in
each state. Then in the substitution for armies the institution
of arbitration with its high pacifying function, according to the
rules to be laid down and the penalties to be imposed on a
state which would refuse either to submit a national question
to arbitration or to accept its decision.
"Once the supremacy of right has thus been established all
obstacles to the means of communication of the peoples would
disappear by assuring, by rules to be fixed later, the true liberty
and community of the seas which would contribute to the
numerous causes of conflict and would also open to all new
sources of prosperity and progress.
Asks Disarmament
"As to the damages to be repaired and as to the war
expenses we see no other means of solving the question than
by submitting as a general principle the complete and reciprocal
condonation which would be justified moreover by the immense
benefit to be derived from disarmament, so much so that no
one will understand the continuation of a similar carnage
solely for reasons of an economic order.
"If for certain cases there exist particular reasons they
would be deliberated upon with justice and equity but these
pacific agreements with the immense advantages to be derived
from them are not possible without a reciprocal restitution of
the territory at present occupied.
Evacuation of Belgium
"Consequently on the part of Germany the complete evacua
tion of Belgium with the guarantee of her full political, military
and economic independence towards it.
"The evacuation of French territory. On the part of other
belligerent parties similar restitution of the German colonies.
"As regards the territorial questions, as for example those
which have arisen between Italy and Austria and between
Germany and France there is reason to hope that in con
sideration of the immense advantage of a durable peace with
disarmament, the parties in conflict would wish to examine
them with a conciliatory disposition, taking into consideration
as we have said formerly the aspirations of the peoples and
the special interests and of the general welfare of the great
human society.
"The same spirit of equity and justice ought to be followed
in the examination of other territorial and political questions,
notably those relative to Armenia and the Balkan states and
territories making a part of the ancient kingdom of Poland
whose noble and historical traditions and sufferings which
it has endured especially during the present war ought to
conciliate the sympathies of nations.
Render War Impossible
"Such are the principle basis whereon we believe the future
reorganization of .the peoples ought to be built. They are of
a nature to render impossible the return of similar conflicts
and to prepare a solution of the entire question so important
for the future and for the material well being of all belligerent
states.
"Therefore, in presenting to you, who direct at this hour
the destinies of the belligerent nations, we are animated to
sec them accepted and to see thus the conclusion at an early
date of the terrible struggle which more and more appears
a useless massacre. *
"The whole world recognizes that the honor of the armies
of both sides is safe. Incline your ears therefore to your
prayer. Accept the fraternal invitation which we send you in
the name of the Divine Redeemer, the Prince of Peace. Reflect
on your very grave responsibility before God and before man.
"On your decision depends the repose and the joy of in
numerable families, the life of thousands of young people; in a
word, the happiness of a people for whom it is your absolute
duty to obtain their welfare.
"May the Lord inspire your decision in conformity to His
very holy will.
"May God grant that while meriting the applause of your
contemporaries you will also obtain in the future generations
a splendid name of pacificators.
"As for us closely united in prayer and in penitence with all
those faithful souls which sigh for peace we implore for you
the light and counsel of the Divine spirit. (Signed)
"BENEDICT.

Nicholas Spirited Away From Tsarskoe-Selo by Order of
Ministers' Council—Destination Reported
to Be Siberia
Petrograd, Aug. 16.—Nicholas Ro
manoff, the deposed Russian empe
ror, and the members of his family
were spirited away under o ircum
stances of extreme mystery early
yesterday morning from Tsarskoe-
Selo to a destination which the pro
visional government (Irmly refuses
to reveal.
The semiofficial Russian news agen
cy announced last night, however,
that it was reported the former Czar
and his family were being transported
to Tobolsk, Siberia.
No one except the local military
officials especially sent from Petro
grad witnessed the departure, and,
according to a statement made to The
Associated Press by N. V. Nekrasoff,
vice-president of the council of min
isters, the account published In the
only newspaper which reported the
departure was Imaginary.
It appears that the plan was to re
move Nicholas before dawn, but the
train arrived at Tsarsko-Selo several
hours late. Instead of the gorgeous
imperial train in which Nicholas was
taken to Tsarsko-Selo from Mohiley
in March, an ordinary train composed
of three sleeping cars, a dining car
and several third-class coaches was
sent. A second train was assigned to
take the baggage and servants, fifty

Nicholas was very depressed in ap
pearance. but former Kmpress Alex
andra, who was seen walking for the
first time in months, seemed lively
and pleased at the prospect of a
change in surroundings.
In view of the need for special pre
cautions, the guard between the pal
ace and railroad .station was not
composed of any single unit, but of
delegations of eleven trusted men
from each battalion of tho Tsarskoe-
Selo garrisons.
An hour after the train arrived
Nicholas appeared on the steps of th"6
palace dressed in a colonel's uniform,
with a khaki blouse and no decora
tions. He entered an automobile, ac
companied by Prince Dolgoroukoff and
Count Benokendorff, former court
marshal, who thus far have shared
his captivity. They were followed by
the former Kmpress Alexandra, who
was accompanied by Countess Na
ryshken, her close friend and former
lady of the court; all the four grand
duchesses, with their maids of honor,
and finally by Alexis, the former heir
to the throne, at whose side was the
gigantic sailor "Derevenko," the pro
tector of Alexis since his birth and
his constant companion.
