"FIRST DRAFT RULES OUT In the Case of Married Men, the Wife or a Third Paity May Make a Claim for Ex- 2 emption. Washington, July | 2.—Regulations { + to govern; the next step toward se- ‘lecting the first National Army from * ‘i the millions registered for service Se June § were issued today at the di- “rection of President Wilsén..

Exemption regulations add little to » the terms of the draft law, the ques- tion of whether a man between the ages of ‘ar and’ 30 is entitled to ex- emption because of dependents, the nature ‘of his occupation or physical unfitness being for the boards to de- cide after preper investigation. ‘ - It is made very clear, however, that there are to be no class exemptions 4 ; and that each individual case must be decided upon its merits, The local boards—one for each county of. less than 45,000 population or city of. 30,- 000, with additional boards where necessary for each additional 30,000 population—will pass upon claims for exemption except those based up- on industrial or agricultural occupa- tion, subject to appeal to the district boards. All cases involving agricultural or industrial exemptions will be passed upon by the district boards—one. for each federal judicial district—which also will decide appeals from decis- sai cote) E & W Shirts for Men.....
