OLYNIPiA AFTER HER ACCIDENT
The United States cruiser Olynipla, Admiral Dewey's flagship ut Ma
nila bny, being towed under tho Queensborough bridge, New York, after
being pulled off (he rocks near Block Island, where she was driven ashore
during a storm.
Washington. A deluge of personal
Inquiries concerning future steps la
the Army draft, and or pleas from in
dustrial concerns for exemption of
their expert workers, drew from the
Provost Marshal's ofllce a statement
that question must be addressed to
local boards and that claims for in
dustrial exemption must go later to
the district) boards. No general class
of workmen will bo exempted. Provost
Marshal General Crowder told the
coal production committee, which
sought information whether mlnere
would bo left at their work. Appeal
to the Provost Marshal's ofllce from
employers on behalf of their workmen
can accomplish nothing. It was ex
plained, us regulations promulgated by
President Wilson govern all exemp
tions. . "The question of whether a man Is
more useful to his country in a peace
ful pursuit, than in military service Is
a matter to be taken up with the dis
trict board," said an announcement,
"and for that board to determine In
the light of the circumstances sur
rounding each Individual case.
"Procedure in case of claim for dis
charge on the ground of Industry or
agriculture Is explicitly outlined In the
regulations. Only the upper or dis
trict board has jurisdiction over an in
dustrial or agricultural claim for dis
charge. Before a man has a standing
before the district board he must first
be certified to It by the local or lower
board as physically qualified for serv
ice and must have had any discharge
claim mad before the lower board de
cided adversely to him.
"He has five days after he Is cer
tified to the upper board In which to
file claim for discharge and five days
more in which to file proof. All claims
for exemption or discharge, except
claims for discharge on Industrial or
agricultural grounds, ' are decided
originally by the local or lower board."
Most individual queries to the Pro
vost Marshal's office come from men
who are absent from their place of
registration and who have been sum
moned for examination. Such a man
should apply in writing to the local
board In tho district where he Is regis
tered and request an order directing
him to appear for physical examina
tion and possibly exemption or dis
charge claim before the board of the
district In which he Is now living. This
request should designate definitely the
board having jurisdiction over the dis
trict In which he Is living; for ex
ample, "local exemption board, divi
sion No. 9, New York City."
