Any system of select Ing men of military service, whether TTrtuntnry or Involuntary In Its opera timi. iiceessnHly selects some men to trr the burden of dnnger and sacri fice for the whole nation. The system here provided places till men of mili tary npe upon nn even plnno, nnd then, fcjr a selection which neither fnvors the em nor pcnnllws the other, calls upon 1i requisite number for service. Urges Boards to Act Impartially.

Methods of Making the Draft Upon organizing the local boards will take over from the registration boards all registration cards, which they will number serially and Hut for posting to public view. Then, after having been udvlsed of the method by which the order of liability for service stiull be determined und of the quota to be drawn from Its territory (minus credits for enlistments In the National Guard or regular nrmy), ench board will prepare a list of persons designat ed for service In the order of their lia bility, post the list, give It to the press, and within three days send notice to each designated person by mall. As the men so notified appear the bourds first will make a physical ex amination in accordance with special regulations to be provided, bearing In mind thut all persons accepted by them will be re-examined by nrmy surgeons. If the physical examination Is passed successfully, then comes the question of exemption. Those Entitled to Exemption. Persons who must be exempted or discharged by the local hoard Include: Officers of the United States, of tho stutes, territories nnd the District of Columblu ; ministers of religion, stu dents of divinity, persona In the mili tary or ftuval service of the United States, subjects of Germany, nil other aliens who have not taken out first papers, county or municipal officers, customhouse clerks, workmen In fed eral armories, arsenals nnd navy yards, persons In the federal service designated by the president for ex emption, pilots, merchant marine suit ors, those with a status with respect to dependents which renders their ex clusion deslrnble (a married man with dependent wife or child, son of a de pendent widow, son of dependent, aged or Infirm parent or brother of depend ent orphan child under sixteen years of age), those found morally deficient, nnd nny member of nny well-recog-nlzed religious sect existing May 18, 1917, whose creed forbids participation In war nnd whose religious convictions nccord with the creed. Man or Wife May Make Claim. Claims for exemption because of de pendents mny be made by the man himself, his wife or other dependents, or by nathlrd party who has personally investigated the ense. A claim made by the husband must be nccompanied by supporting affidavits signed by the wife nnd by the head of a family re siding In the same territory. A claim by the wife or a tldrd party must be accompanied by two supporting affida vits signed by hends of families. Sim ilar rules govern claims on the grounds of other dependents when the depend ents or third parties being authorized to Die rlulins with supporting uffldavlts. In each case the board must be satis fied before It grants exemption or dis charge thut the dependent or depend ents actually are supported mainly by the fruits of the man's mental or phys ical labor. Local boards nre required, subject to appeal, to pass upon claims for exemp tion or discharge within three days af ter the filing of affidavits. Must Decide In Five Days. District boards must decide appenl cases within five days after the closing of proofs nnd their decisions are final If the ruling of a locul board Is af firmed the person in question stands finally accepted for military service. .. In passing on claims for exemption on the ground of employment in neces sary Industrial nnd agricultural occu pations the district boards taust be con vinced that the particular enterprise affording such employment actually is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment of national In terest during the emergency. "The evidence must also establish," the regulations say, "even If Hie par ticular InduMtrlul enterprise or particu lar agricultural enterprise is found nec essary for one of the above purposes, that the continuance of such person therein Is necessary to the maintenance thereof nnd that he cannot be replaced by another person without direct sub stantial material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective operation of the particular Industrial enterprise or agricultural enterprise in which he Is engnz"d." May Designate Certain Industries. Later the president mny from time to time designate certain Industries or clauses of Industries that nre necessary and the district boards will be so no tified. It will be the duty of each board, however, to ascertain the avail able labor supply for such industries outside the hum: called for military service nnd to take the result Into con sideration In determining such things. "If. In the opinion of the district board," this section of the regulations concludes, "the direct, substantial, ma terial loss to any such Industrial or ag ricultural enterprise outweighs the loss thut would result from failure to ob tain the military service of any such pei-son, r certificate of discharge muy be ifsued to him X X X." Certificates of exemption will not necessarily be permanent. They may be revoked with changing conditions, or mny be granted only for prescribed periods. Earth Grows Slowly Now.

(Lopyrljtht.X U-BOATS ATTACK Germans Knew in Advance of Details of Expedition. BEATEN OFF BY DESTROYERS Others Believed To Have Been Sent To Bottom By American Gunners. Every Fighting Man Brought Into Port Washington. Safe arrival at a French port of the last ships of the first American overseas expedition was announced by Secretary Daniels In a statement revealing that twice on the way across the Atluntic German sub marines attacked in force and were fought off by convoying warships. The Americans did not lose a man, a ship or an animal. At least one of the undersea enemies was destroyed. The work of spies through whom the Germans knew secrets of the ex pedition 1b dlsclosd by the news that the flrst attack was made far at sea before the transports and their con voys reached the point ai which a rendezvous bad been arranged with the American destroyer flotilla operating in European waters. Submarines There In Force. The submarine commanders ap parently knew when and where to ex pect the American troops bound for the fighting lines in France, and were assembled in force to meet them. It was Just a week after the first troops landed than the last vessels put Into tha French port They were slower crafts carrying supplies and horses. .Secretary Daniels' statement which tells all of the story deemed wise to publish, follows: "It Is with the Joy of a great relief that I announce to the people of the United States the sare arrival iu France of every fighting man and every fighting ship. "Now that the last vessel has reached port, it is safe to disclose the dangers that were encountered, and to tell the complete story of peril and courage. Gunners' Fire Accurate. "The transports bearing our troops were twice attacked by German sub marines on the way across. On both occasions the U-boats were beaten off with every appearance of loss. One was certainly sunk, and there is rea son to believe that the accurate fire of our gunners sent others to the bot tom. "For purposes of convenience, the expedition was divided into con tingents, each contingent including troop ships and a naval escort de signed to keep off such German raid ers ns might be met. "An ocean rendezvous had also been arranged with the American destroy ers now operating in European waters in order that the passage of the dan ger zone might be attended by every possible protection. Attacked At Night. "The flrst attack took place at 10.30 on the night of June 22. What gives it peculiar and disturbing significance is that our ships were set upon at a point well this side of the rendezvous and in that part of the Atlantic pre sumably free from submarines. "The attack was made in force, al though the night made impossible any exact count of the U-boats gathered for what they deemed a slaughter. Five Torpedoes Seen. 'The high seas convoy, circling with their searchlights, answered with heavy gunfire, and its accuracy stands proved by the fact t!;at tho torpedo discharge became increasingly scatter ed and inuccUrste. It is not known how many torpedoes were launched, but five were counted as they sped by bow and ptern. A second attack was launched a few days later against another con tingent. The point of assault was be yond the rendezvous and our destroy ers were sailing as a screen between the transports and all harm. The re sults of the battle were in favor of American gunnery. SIMS' MEN CONFIDENT. 3ne Writes That Situation Was Never More Reassuring. New York. A letter received In New York from an ofilcor of the United States Navy, who is second in com mand of one of the destroyers now operating under Vice-Admiral Sims in British waters, contained the follow ing statement: "The situation was never more reassuring than nt this time. We are all well. My boat has Just come in after a Job that took us 200 miles from our base. TOO TRANSPORTS "Not alone did the destroyers hold the U-boats at a safe distance, but their rpeed el.-io resulted in the sink ing' of one submarine at least Gre- nadeB w.ere used in firing, a depth- charge" explosive timed to go off at a certain distance under water. In one instance'oil and wreckage covered the surface of the sea after a shot from a destroyer at a periscope, and the re- poits made claim of sinking. "Protected by our high seas convoy by our destroyers, and by French war vessels, the contingent proceeded, and Joined the others in a French port. "The whole nation will rejoice that so great a peril is passed for the van guard of the men who will fight our battles In France. No more thrilling Fourth of July celebration could have been arranged than this glad news that lifts the shadow of dread from the heart of America. Baker Thanks Navy. Sccrftary Baker wrote the follow ing letter to Secretary Daniels convey ing the army's thanks to the navy: "Word. has Just come to the War Department that the last ships convey ing General Pershing's expeditionary force to France arrived safe today.-As you know, the navy assumed the re sponsibility for the safety of these ships on the sea and through the dan ger zone. The ships themselves and their convoys were in the hands of the navy, and now that they have arrived and carried, without the loss of a man our soldiers who are the first to rep resent America in the battle of demo cracy, I beg leave to tender to you, to the admiral, and to the navy, the hearty thanks of the War Department and of the army. This splendid achievement is an auspicious begin ning and it has been characteristic throughout by the most cordial and ef fective co-operation between the two military services." U. S.

BRAZIL IS HOW III THE ill 61 Her Navy Co-operating With the American Fleet PATROLS SOUTHERN WATERS President Wilson Considering the Sending Of a Mission To Brazil To Arrange a Plan Of Co-operation. Washington. Brazil's navy has be gun co-operating with the American fleet In South American waters In hunting down German sea raiders and watching for German submarines. Sending of a special diplomatic mission to Brazil to arrange for great er co-ordination of forces and the closest possible co-operation of the two governments is under consider tlon by the United StateB. President Wilson now has under consideration the personnel of the mission to Brazil. It ' probably will leave the United States within month or six weeks and will Include men familiar with Latin-American con ditlons and representatives f'om the military establishments. Brazil's seizure of the warbound Gorman ships has added to her mer chant marine more than 150,000 tons, which with that already at her dis posal will, It Is believed, contribute materially to the solution of . the problem of getting supplies to the Allies. Without formal declaration of war, Brazil thus- practically Joined the United States against Germany. Coincident with the Inauguration of Brazil's naval operations a plan for protecting her merchant ships in their voyages to Allied ports with frozen meats and other foodstuffs hat been put Into effect Whether Brazil will supplement her action by a formal declaration of war is not known here and by some officials such action is regarded as doubtful because the government at Rio de Janeiro is inclined to regard its action rather defensive than aggressive. For the present it ia believed Brazil's part will be adequately . done if she contributes to the safety of Southern seas and to the movement to Europe of foodstuffs. .TO TEACH GIRLS TO SAVE.
