The Government intends to enforce the exemption iaws with the greatest strictness. This was shown at the last meeting of the President and his official family after. which orders were issued by the War Department to curtail the ground that applicants are Federal employes. These orders state that for exemption on the ground that the parties are Federal employes will be entered only for those employes Whose places cannot be filled by oth- ers without substantial loss to the adequate operation of the office. Exemptions under the draft law will be absolute, conditional, or tem- porary. Discharges will be labeled with the same terms. Those exempt- ed will be let go under the regulations of the law; those discharged will be freed of their obligation under the authority of the President, whose extend to and classes of persons not mentioned in the exemption clause. Even the ap- plication forms for exemption and discharge are not alike.

There is now much confusion over sexemption clause In the Selective t law. Many are at a loss to ow where the government officials aw the line “exemption’ 4 ‘“‘discharge” those will be between related to en who \tion to Resorting to 3 \at the word “exempt’ under the colors. oah Webster we find means “Free, released, from liability to hich others excepted | om the operation or burden of some w; free; privileged:] some are subject; released: clear; released from obli- | those must who want to exemption for claim 110; who want to be discharged must ask for Form 121.° Other forms will be pro- vided for thoss who wish to claim exemption for registered persons other than themselves. Within three days after the proper affidavits have been flled, claims for exemption and discharge will be de- cided. Applicants are warned to watch the bulletin boards in the local exemption offices and the lists which will be published in ask Form those the newspapers about five days after individual proofs have bheen submitted In this only will applicants whether they have been excused or held for service. The fine shading between the definitions of ‘“‘exemption” and “‘discharge’ also be taken into consideration. Much time will be saved by knowing how to apply for release from obligation. way know must THE SONG OF THE “SAMMIES.” From an American correspondent with Pershing's troops, we learn that the war song of the “Sammies” in France has at last been unearthed and sung for the approval of the camp. After a hard day’s work dig- ging trenches, the boys gathered ‘round the old camping place one night and roared at the top of their lungs that American classic of un- known origin, “Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here." In lieu of a song prepared for the occasion, “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here"” should, as they in vaude- ville, “go big.” The words now a new meaning. When the ‘gang” is really all there, in the old chorus should take on even a greater semblance of truth. Then will the let the fighting forces of just why the “gang” is carry France, e Burope know there. | Probably American composer | could have written a better tune for | the visiting some “Sammies” in | Probayly some Iy assembled Europe. ic writer could have a set of words more refin- ng in their nature.

There is bound to be a hot time in the old town when the all there. No matter where the gang is, there will be a hot time.

CHESTER RACE RIOT BROUGHT TO AN END Negro Section Roped Off and Gunards Patrol Streets—Two Killed Many Injured. Chester, Pa., July 27.—With armed guards patrolling a large area of the city, quiet was restored here today after another outbreak of race riot- ing which exacted a toll of two lives and caused injury to scores of persons, both white and colored. The local authorities were at first unable to cope with the situation when rioting was resumed last night, but with the assistance of the National Guardsmen, state police and 500 special deputies, the streets were cleared and order was restored shortly after midnight. The negro section was roped off and surrounded with a patrol and guards were stationed in positions to pre- vent further outbreaks in the other districts of the city. All saloons and amusement places were ordered closed. @xtra police guard the city hall, where 74 rioters were located for hearings, many of them suffering from bruises. Of the score or more in- jured several had fingers shot off, others were stabbed and many had limbs broken. Several of them can- not recover, it Is said. Charles Lucas, a negro, under arrest in connection with the killing of Joseph McCann, white, at the outbreak of the disturb- ance, was taken by the police to the Media jail. The other vietim was a negro. While the rlots were the direct re- sult of the killing by negroes of Wil- liam McKinney, a young white man, officials declare the importation of a large number of laborers from the South. had caused much ill-feeling, from AUSTRIAN WARSHIPS GLEAN OUT DRIFTERS Small Boats Put Up Plucky Bat- tle Despite Disadvantages Ottawa, July —An attack by three Austrian ¢ ers on a line of British drifters tmhlnved in guarding anti-submarine nets in the straits of Otranto on May 15 is described in a London despateh to Reuter’s Ottawa agency, ccount of the engage- “The drifters in eight divisions of about six hoats each were foreed along & line running roughly east and west. Bach carried a crew of ten men and one small gun. 1In one-case the ene- my appears to have acted with chival- ry toward the little craft, signalling to the crew to abandon their vessels. This cruiser approached to within 100 yards of the Gowanlea and ordered her crew to take to the boats. “Skipper J. Watts, slipping the nets, replied by ordering full speed ahead, and calling on the crew for three cheers commanded them to fight to a finish. They manned the gun and fired with good effect until a shot the cruiser disabled the gun. They hung on under heavy fire, en- deavoring to repair the damage, until the cruiser passed out of range. “The Gowanlea then proceeded to the assistance of the badly damaged Leondia, which had four men killed and three wounded, but whose skip- per, though three times wounded, re- mained at his post throughout the action. Meanwhile the remaining cruisers had opened a devastating fire on the center of the line. “The crew of the Admirable only abandoned their vessel after her boiler exploded and her whole house had beerp shot away. Even then A. Gor- don, a-second hand, scrambled back on board with the evident intention of firing the gun single-handed, but was killed. “The Girl Rose, Cora. T. Haven and Selby were not abandoned by their crews until the boats foundered. The crew of the sinking Tails on taking to the boats discovered one of their num- ber to be missing. They returned to the vessel through a heavy fire to search for their shipmate. Second Hand Joseph Hendry of the Serena, remained on board until the ship sank, rather than be taken prisoner. He was picked up an hour later. The crews of the Garrigill, Bonespoir, Christmas Day and British Crown re- fused to leave their vessels even when outranged and under broadside fire from the enemy, and brought them through the action. The enemy displa destroy the wireless tel drifter in cach group. The wireless operator of the Leondin was found dead in his chair at the conclusion of the action, having collapsed over the wireless log in which he was writ- ing at the moment of his death. The British admiralty on May 18 announced that four drifters had been sunk in a rald by Austrian cruisers in the Adriatic sea and that the British cruiser Dartmouth was torpedoed in a subsequent engagement but reached port safely. ed an enxlety to ph of the SHORT CALENDAR COURT.
