Two Strict Checks on “Slack- ers” Offering Occupations as Excuses, WASHINGTON, June 27.—Four classes of men are named exempt from military service in the draft regulations to which President Wil- fon fave final approval to-day, These classes are: Men physi- cally unfit, men employed in positions in wi indus: those with certain religious beliefs and men with wives or other relatives wholly dependent on them for support. The regulations cover fifty printed | pages. They will be made public at! a date to be fixed later and probably | will be given the press to be held for release to-morrow or Friday. Two strict checks are put upon the seeker after exemption for occupa- tional reasons: First, the claimant | must prove his industry is necessary to the “maintenance of the national interest; and, second, the applicant must prove his service to be virtually indispensable to the industry.” The rules provide that local exemp- tion boards have power to exempt the physically unfit and members of cer- tain religions, One appellate board in each judicial district will *have power to excuse men for occupational reasons and will hear the pleas of those with dependents, The names of tho board members in towns and counties adjacent to New York City are: New Rochelle—Mayor Bdward 8, Grift- ing, Clerk Charles Kannermeyer and Dr, Edwin H.

WASHINGTON, June 27.—The Rus- sian Provisional Government's first threat of force to suppress disorders in Petrograd wan reported in de- spatches to the Russian Miasion here to-day as having been indorsed by the people and to have prevented hostile demonstrations. A summary of recent official de- spatohen from Petrograd to the mis- h sion here, showing the full support of the new Government by the workmen and soldiers, the peasants and all but the minority radical Socialists, was given out to-day, The summary saya: “The resolutions adopted by the Pan- Russian conference of peasant delo- @ates and the Council of Workmen and Soldiers manifested a full agree- ment with the programme of the Gov- ernment, which thus has the support ot these strong orgamizations with the great authority among the masses, Some nervousness was felt in Pe- trograd a few days ago on account of rumors of counter revolution move- ments, which proved without founda- tion. On that occasion the radical elements intended to organize public Provisional Government proclaimed that all attempts at violence would be crushed with all the force of the State authorities. At the same time the Council of Workmen and Soldiers asked the citizens and soldiers not to Participate in the demonstration, but to refrain for three days from all manifestations, “The extremists did not carry out their resolution,” say the despatches, “This event 4 considered in Russia as @ great moral success of the Gov- ernment and of the nation’s majority which supports the Government.” he Russian Misaion will go to New tork July 6 for @ three days’ visit. The programme will be similar to those of the French, British and Ital- fan Missions.
