In the near future a date will be set ‘hy Brig. Gen. Crowder, provost mar- shal-general, for the meeting and or- ganization of the boards. At the same time it is expected that the selection regulations will be promulgated so that the process may be put under way without delay. The present intention is to cail the men selected to the col- ors about September 1. All Forces on Equal Footing.

Upon organizing the local boards will take over from the registration boards all registration cards, which they will- number serially and lst for posting to public view, Then, after having been advised of the method by which the order of lability for service shall be determined and of the quota to be drawn from its territory (minus credits for enlistments in the Natlenal Guard or regular army), each 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 to each designated person by mall. As the men so notified appear the boards first will make a physical ex- amination in accordance with special regulations to be provided, bearing in mind that all persons accepted by them will be re-examined by army 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 board Include: Officers of the United States, of the notice states, territories and the District of Columbia ; ministers of religion, stu- dents of divinity, persons in the mili- tary or naval service of the United States, subjects of Germany, all other aliens who have not taken out first papers, county or municipal officers, customhouse clerks, workmen In fed: eral armories, arsenals and navy vards, persons in the federal designated by the president for emption, pllots, merchant marine sall- ors, those with a status with respect to dependents which renders thelr ex- clusion desirable (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, | and any member of any well-recog- | nized religious sect existing May 18, 1917, whose creed forbids participation in war and whose religious convictions accord with the creed. Man or Wife May Make Claim. Claims for exemption because of de- pendents may be made by the man himself, his wife or other dependents, or by a third party who has personally Investigated the case. A claim made by the husband must be accompanied by supporting affidavits signed by the wife and by the head of a family re- siding in the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two supporting affida- vits signed by heads of families. Sim- ilar rules govern claims on the grounds of other dependents when the depend- ents or third parties being authorized to file claims with supporting affidavits. In each case the board must be satis- fied before It grants exemption or dis- charge that the dependent or depend- ents actually are supported mainly by the frults of the man’s mental or phys- ical labor, Local boards are required, subject to appeal, to pass upon claims for exemp- tion or discharge within three days af- ter the filing of affidavits.

Governor Brumbaugh announced vetoes of two bills providing for in- creases of salaries, and also of the bill providing for a change in levying of taxes in townships for highway lighting The vetoes were the first of a series expected to be made by the Governor. In vetoing the House bill providing for increase of salaries of clerks in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Philadelphia the Governor says: “Such salary matters ought to be determined by the local authorities who know the facts, and not by the State, the obligation to pay; why not the right to determine salaries? The State fs not liable for the increased cost of this service; why should it decree the increase? It is a local matter.” The Governor also vetoed the bill to increase salaries of county officials in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties and says that it is not manifest why thesa officials should be singled out fer the increase. He says the bill as drawn is not equitable, and that protested against the measure. is no evidence that better service would ensue,” adds the Governor. In his veto of the township light tax bill the Governor says to change the plan now existing would be an in- fringement upon rights, and that in his opinicn the present law is all right.

He had entered Oxford and had studied to become a barrister, but gave up classics and the law for soldiering and a commission at twenty-one years of age. He had a genius for the training of men and officers and for rapid and successful strokes. On returning from America, ever, he turned from soldiering to poli- tics; he lost no time in entering the house of commons, and sat for his native city of Liverpool for 20 years. He became a major general in 1794, a lieutenant general in 1801, a full gen- eral in 1812, a baronet in 1815 and a G. C. B. in 1820.
