THE regulations which will guide
the local boards in deciding who
... . . . t. ...:n
will ue exempt aim wuu win um
after the names have been drawn for
the draft have been very comprehen
sively laid down by President Wilson.
Only 02D.OOO men are to be called an
army of 500,000 and 125,000 reserves
but army ofllcers argue that the addi
tional men should know in advance of
the likelihood of summons to service.
After the selection has been made the
men will probably be called to the col
ors Sept 1.
The regulations issued prescribe more
speedy work than bad been expected.
Three days are allowed to the local
boards to make up their lists, ten days
for physical examinations and ten days
for hearing claims to exemptlou.
Call Not by Alphabet.
Those on the registration lists are
not to be called alphabetically, but seri
ally. The cards turned oyer to the lo
cul boards are numbered consecutively
as received. Within three days after
this has been done notices are to be
mailed to the first third of the list re
quiring them to report for physical ex
amination on the morning of the fifth
day following, for the second third to
report on the sixth day and for those
remaining to report on the seventh day
To make it possible to examine the
number of men who will appear hi
such populous communities as New
York, for example, one examining
physician in addition to the one who
belongs to the local board is to be
named if tho number to be examined
on any one day shall exceed eighty,
two if the number exceeds 120, with
others hi like ratio. One member of
the board other than the medical mem
ber must bo present at each examina
tion, und no member or physician may
serve where the person to be examined
is of nearer klu to him by blood or
marriage than second cousin.
A registered man who may be ab
sent from his home area on the day ho
was notified to appear must make ap
plication, "supported by satisfactory
proof," for examination before anoth
er board. If a registered man is ill he
must give proof of this, one ulliduvlt
at loust coming from a licensed physi
cian, and in such cases the local board
may require examination by one of Its
own physicians. Those who do not
furnish such proof within ten days are
to "be recorded as physically qualified."
Classes of Exemptions.
The regulations tell the circum
stances in which persons may be ex
empted. Tlie classes include officers
of the United, States and of the several
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 residing
In the United States and nil other
resident aliens who have not taken out
their first papers.
Kniphasis Is laid on the fact that
"the statement on the registration of
any such person that exemption is
claimed shall not be construed or con
sidered as the presentation of n claim
for exemption." These claims must
lo made in the form of affidavits or
such other evidence ns may be requir
ed by the local boards within tcu days
after tho physical examinations.
Officers who may claim exemption
arc defined as Including "any legisla
tive, executive or Judicial officer."
These must name and describe the
offices they hold, the dates on which
they were elected or appointed and
when their terms of office expire.
Ministers who may claim exemption
must he "duly ordained'' or "regular."
They must file affidavits "giving the'
name of church, religious sect or or
ganization" In which they have been
ordained or to which they belong, giv
ing the dates of their ordination or the
beginning of their ministry. Each affi
davit must be accompanied by two
supporting affidavits from heads of
families living in the local area and
belonging to the minister's church, sect
or organization.
"A duly ordained minister of re
ligion," the regulations say, "is a per
son who has been ordained In accord
ance with the ceremonial, ritual or dis
cipline of a church, religious sect or
organization established on the basis
of a community of faith and belief,
doctrines and .practices of a religious
character, to preach and to teach the
doctrines of such church, sect or or
ganization and to administer the rites
and ceremonies thereof in public wor
ship, and who as his regular and cus
tomary vocation preaches and teaches
the principles of religion and adminis
ters the ordinances of public worship
as embodied in the creed or principles
of such church, sect or organization."
Preachers Hot Ordained.
A regular minister is one who "as
his customary vocation prenches and
teaches tho principles of religion of a
church, sect or organization of which
he is a member without having been
duly ordained as a minister of religion
and who is recognized by such church,
sect or organization as a regular min
ister." Neither of these classes include
those who "irregularly or incidentally
preach and teach." Students of divin
ity to claim exemption must have been
enrolled in a recognized theological or
divinity school on May 18 last and must
present supporting affidavits by the
president, dean or head of the school.
"Persons hi the military or naval
sen-Ice of the United States" embraces
those within tho classes defined at the
time of the registration. Germans and
"all other' resident aliens who have
not taken out their first papers" come
within the mandatory rules of exemp
tion. As to the former it is added:
"No subject of Germany residing in
tho United States, whether ho has tak
en out his first papers or not, will be
accepted for service. When in the
opinion of a local board any person
called for service Is a subject of Ger
many, whether he has or lias not ue-i-lnrirt
his intention to become a citi
zen of the United States or whether
ho or some other person in respect of
him has or has not filed a claim of ex
emption, he shall be exempted and a
AAi-fiaonf-n nf psmnnMnn issued to him."
Not all exemptions allowed by the
inr.nl hnnrds will ho absolute. . "No ex
emption shall continue when a cause
therefor no longer exists," the regula
tions declare, and when the cause
ceases the certificate is to be revoked.
The provost marshal general is em
powered to name representatives, who
mnv take anneals from the local boards
to the district boards, which are to sit
in New York city and to meh federal
1nr11r-inl district Amltirfls from dis
trict boards may be taken to the pres
ident, and Individuals nave tue same
right of appeal that the provost mar
shal general has.
Subject to Discharge.
Tills right of appeal covers dis
charges as well as exemptions. Dis
charges must be applied for within
seven days after notico to appear for
examination has been mailed. The
classes who may obtain discharges in
clude custom house clerks, persons em
ployed in the transmission of the
mails, artificers aud workmen employ
ed in the armories, arsenals and. navy
yards of the United Statea, persons
employed in the service of the United
States designated by the president to
be exempted, pilots, mariners actually
employed in the sea service of any
citizen or merchant within the country.
With the exception of pilots, who
must have affidavits from the collector
or deputy collector of tho port from
which they regularly sail all these
persons must submit affidavits from
responsible officers that they cannot be
"replaced by another person without
substantial material loss of efficiency
In operatlou or administration" of the
service in which the applicant may be
employed.
The regulations affecting "those in
a status with respect to persons de
pendent upon them for support which
renders their exclusion or discharge de
sirable" require 8,500 words for their
setting forth. Applications for dis
charge under these beads may be made
by the man himself, by the dependent
or by some person acting for him. The
classes are tho following:
"Any married man whoso wife or
child Is dependent upon his labor for
support." Such a man must present,

REVIEW OF THE
LIVESTOCK
MARKET
Portland. July 16. (Special) The
receipts at the Portland Union Stock
yard's during the week past totalled
about 1600 head of cattle, 2900 hogs
and 3500 sheep.
The cattle that came to the yards
this week were not, generally speak
ing, properly finished for presentation
in the market, whiel the hogs, aside
from a single shipment of California
stock hogs, displayed a very even and
desirable quality. y

At the close of Monday's market the
supply of reasonably good steers

will show a slump of 75e to $1.00
from prices that prevailed tne previ
ous week. .
Cows.
The supply of cows at the beginning
of the, week was too much for the de
mand and they promptly slumped ?1
$1.25 and found few large buyers
even- at the new level, though. . the
really good ones went at $7 to $7.75,
canners were not welcome buyers and
went as low as $4.00, but came into

all week with little or no change in
