Lee Chong, a laundryman, after pass-
ing the physical test, waived exemp-
tion and was accepted. The other man,
whose name was not given out, and
who is the support of a widowed moth-
er, a wife and two children, waived
exemption when he ascertained that
his mother could earn $50 a month.
He said the $25 he could send home
from the army, with the $50 his moth-
er could earn, would keep them com-
fortable. He was accepted.

ment, and that he does not care
_ longer to be connected with it.

NEW ARMY OPEN TO ALIENS
Not Under Liability to Serve But Will
Be Accepted.
The ranks of the new national army
were opened formally to friendly
aliens as volunteers. A ruling by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder com-
municated to the selection boards di-
rects that all such aliens who waive
their rights of exemption of national-
ity ,be promptly accepted for service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
took steps to reduce the number of
exemptions because of dependent fam-
ilies. Instructions were sent to the
governors of all states pointing out
that the minimum pay of soldiers is
$30 a month and that local boards
must consider whether a man’s de-
pendents could not be supported on
that amount.
Government officials generally are
beginning to take up the individual
questions that arise where govern-
ment employees are called for service.
Secretary Daniels said that knotty
problems were arising in the navy
department as to what individuals in
the clerical force, navy draughtsmen
or skilled workers at the navy yards
are absolutely indispensable.
The number of exemptions asked by
the various departments will be re-
duced to the absolute minimum, it is
indicated, even if some temporary de
rangement of clerical work results.

THE NE’ER DO WELL.
By Rex Beach.
This Passion-Throbbing film of
Panama, is the successor to Rex
Beach’s other great success “The
Spoilers” It is even greater than
“The Spoilers. Its flights of sweet
romance are higher, its action and
its risks and dangers more over-
whelming.... Enacted by the famous
Spoilers cast in the Panama Canal
Zone. !
“The Ne’er-Do-Well,” by Rex
Beach, the Selig spectacular drama
filmed by the Selig Polyscope Com-
pany, features Wheeler Oakman and
Kathlyn Williams and an all-star
cast. The hero is Kirk Anthony, a
college graduate, a veteran football
player, and, since graduation the

evening following a football victory,
the last of the season, Kirk and
others start out to celebrate. Late

He falls desperately in love with her,
and tries vainly to discover her iden-

of his winning of Chiquita despite
the counter-plotting of Mrs. Cort-

and of the final decisive intervention
in Panamanian affairs of old Darwin

and varied by many richly humerous
episodes.
