Coach Conibear had climb- ed the tree to pick plums, and was about 12 feet from the ground when the limb upon which he was standing gave way. He struck on his head.)

His father, owing to corporate connections, has long been re- garded as politically influential in city and state. Young Willis was called up for the draft not long ago. Two days after he had heen sum- moned by the local board, he tried to join the navy, as an enlisted man. He was examined by the navy recruiting physicians, and was passed as physically tit. But the draft board insisted that his place was in the draft army since he had already been called So young Willis was again examined, this time by three physicians of the local draft board. Again, he was pronounced physically fit. He appealed to the district board, however, for an exemption on the ground that he has a heart lesion. And the district board granted him the ex- emption. The district board declared him paysical- ly unfit. Was the district board right, and the navy and draft board physicians wrong? Perhaps yes. Per- haps no. Who knows? The district board works behind closed doors in secret—in the dark.

S. WILL NOT BREAK reasoning and justice which guide the district board in its del Titer ations. Undoubtedly, the members of this secret board thought they were right in the Willis case. & is probable that they ARE right. Nevertheless, the secret methods of the district board give currency to rumors of favoritism and partiality. Such rumore have no right to exist and thrive. But they will multiply and flourish as long as there ore star chamber sessions of the district board, for secrecy has always been the handmaiden of injustice, czariom, qutocracy. Secrecy has al- ways been the tool of those who dared not face the white light of publicity—and as long as the dis- trict boards deny to the public a place at their hear- ings, that long will the draft army suffer because of real or fancied wrongs. An appeal board, helping to create an army to - for democracy, has no business to work in the ge? pen the doors. The light of publicity is not going to hurt. On the contrary, it is going to kill off un- founded rumors of favoritism and partiality. Open the doors AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

The new plot to overthrow Russia, a French cabinet crisis and a — strong peace interview from Philip Scheidemann, the reichstag — socialist leader, added to the already acute interest in Secretary ° Lansing’s expose of how the German minister in Buenos Aires communicated with his government thru the Swedish foreign of= fice in violation of neutrality laws. Premier Kerensky, beset with a food crisis in Petro, placed his capital under martial law and dismissed Gen. Kornilofh @ commander-in-chief, when the latter demanded the right to as- sume supreme power. Premier Ribot, unable to secure the co-cperation of the French socialists, gave up his efforts to form a new cabinet and tendered — the resignation of his entire ministry. The Scheidemann interview with a United Press correspondent in Berlin and the announcement that no break with Sweden was in” prospect for the United States, lent a hopeful tone to the general clamor.
