WASHINGTON, July 2. Regula tions to govern the next step toward - selecting a national war army from the millions registered for service on June 5 were issued today at the direc tion of President Wilson. 4 The regulations make it clear that 1 there are to be no class examinations v and that each individual case must be 'decided upon its merits. The local ''exemption boards one for eneicoun ;ty of less than 45,000 population, or l city of thirty thousand with addition al boards where necessary for each addition thirty thousand population ' will pass upon claims for exemption ' except those based upon industrial or 1 agricultural occupation, subject to ap peal 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 de 1 clde appeals from decisions of the lo cal boards. To Organize Hoards. '! In the near future a date will be . set by Brigadler-Genetal Crowder, ; provost marshal general, for the meet ing and organization of the boards, At the sametlme it Is expected that the selection regulations will bo pro ' mitigated, so that the process may be put under way without delay. The present Intention is to call the men selected to the colors about September ; 1, or as soon thereafter as the can tonments to house them can be com- $1 )leted. In a statement accompanying the announcement of the regulations, the President called upon the boards to do their work fearlessly and impar tially and to remember that "our arm ies at the front will be strengthened and sustained if they be composed of aien free from any sense of injustice in their mode of selection." President's Statement, The statement follows, in part: "The regulations which I am today causing to be promulgated, pursuant to the direction of the selective serv ice law, cover the remaining steps of the plan for calling into the service of the United States qualified men from those who have registered; those selected as the result of this process to constitute, with the regu lar army, the national guard and the navy the fighting forces of the na tion, all of which forces are under the terms of the law placed in a posi tion of equal right, dignity and re sponsibility with the members of all other military forces. The regulations have boen drawn with a view to the needs and circum stances of the whole country and provide a system which It Is expect ed will work with the least Inequality and personal hardship. Any system whether voluntary of involuntary in its operation, necessarily selects some men to bear the burden of danger and sacrifice for the whole nation The system here provided places all men of military ago upon an even plane and then, by a selection which neither favors the one nor penalizes the other, calls out tho requisite num ber for service. Depends l'mn Lnyolty. "The successful operation of this law and of these regulations depends necessarily upon the loyalty, patriot ism and justice of the members of the boards to whom its operation Is committed and I admonish every member of every local board and of every district board of review that their duty to their country requires an impartial and fearless perform ance of tho delicate and difficult duties Intrusted to them. They should remember as to each Individ ual case presented to them that they are called upon to adjudicate the most sacred rights of the individual and to preserve untarnished tho hon or of the nation, "Our armies at the front will be strengthened and sustained If they be composed of men free from any sense of Injustice In the mode of se lection and they will lie Inspired to loftier efforts In behafl of a country In which the cltzens called upon to perform high public functions per form them with Justice, fearlessness and Impartiality." To Prepare Lists. I'pon organizing the local hoards will take over from the registration boards all registration curds which they will nuiiilrr serially nnd list for posting to public view. Then, after having been advised of the method by which tho order of liabil ity for service shall b -determined and of the quota to be drawn from Its territory (minus credits for en listments in the national guard or regular army) each board will pre pare a list of persons designated for service In the order of their lia bility, post the list, give It to the press and within three days send notice to each designated person by mail. As the men so notified apear, the boards first will make a physical ex amination In accordance with spe cial regulations to be provided, bear ing In mfiid that all persons accept ed by them will be re-examined by army surgeons. If the physical ex amination Is passed successfully, then comes the question of exemp tion. Exempted from Service. Persons who must be exempted or discharged by the local board include Officers of the United States, of the states, territories and the District of Columbia; ministers of religion students of divinity, persons in the military or naval service of the United States; subjects of Germany, all oth er aliens who have not taken out first papers, county or municipal officers; custom house clerks, workmen in fed eral armories, arsenals and navy yards, persons In the federal service designated by the president for ex emption, pilots, merchant marine sailors, those with a status with re spect to dependents which renders their exclusion desirable (a married man with dependent wife or child son of a dependent widow, son of de pendent, aged or infirm parent, or brother of dependent orphan child under 16 years of age.) Those form ally deficient and any member of well recognized religious sect existing May IS, 1917, whoso creed forbids partici pation in war and whose religious convictions accord with the creed. Claims for Exemption. Claims for exemption because of dependents may be made by the man himself, his wife or other dependents or by a third party who has person ally Investigated the cose. A claim made by the husband must be accom panied by supporting affidavits sign ed by the wife and by the head of d family residing In the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two support ing affidavits signed by head of fam ilies. Similar rules govern claims on the grounds of other dependents when the dependents or third parties being authorized to file claims with supporting affidavits, in each case the board must be satisfied before it grants exemption or discharge that tho dependent or dependents actually are supported mainly by the fruits of the man's mental or physical labor. Local boards are required, subject to appeal, to pass upon claims for ex emption or discharge within ttjree days after the filing of affidavits, Five Days to Decide, District boards must decide appeal cases within five days after tho clos lng proofs and their decisions are final. If the ruling of a local board is affirmed tho person In question stands finally accepted1 for military service. In passing on claims for exemption on the ground of employment in nec essary Industrial and agricultural oc cupations the district boards must bo convinced that the particular enter prise affording such employment ac tually Is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment or na tional Interest during the emergency. Certificates of exemption wjll not necessarily be permanent. They may be revoked with changing conditions or may be granted only for prescribed porlods. , HONORS EVENLY DIVIDED ON PORTLAND LINKS PORTLAND, July 2.

CHURCH BELLS PEAL FORTH THEIR OWN SOLEMN REQUIEM BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTER IN' FRANCE, July 2. (By the Asso "" ' ' ' IV j ' : r elated Press.) Somo Interesting Items of German news have been gleaned within the past few days from letters found In raided dugouts. One of them, written from Bielefeld, Prussia, June 6, tells of an explosion In a munitions factory at Detmold, and continues: "It was terribly sad. On Sunday 0 victims already had been buried. One woman, who has lost four sons In the field, has now lost her three daughters In the explosion. It is struuge that the -Westphalian news papers give no report of the accl dont." Another letter, written at Erfurt, Prussian Saxony, May 2 8, says: "The church bells have pealed a farewell. This week all of them will be taken away to be smeltered down and turned Into shells. No eye re mained dry when the pastor mention ed that instead of ringing out tidings of an early peace, they must now cause death and destruction." Portland Livestock. PORTLAND, July 2.

We nre bearing many complaints lately about sloekruniiliig In' the road. Many fences and gales have been wrecked and soma of the mall boxes have been torn down so often that their owners have despaired of keeping a box up nnd have removed them entirely. Companies of the Honor Guard, or girls In overalls, are to be seen work ing in our orchards, which are prov ing a great help to the orchardlsts as well as being very remunerative to the girls. Tho Red Cross soliciting committee In this and the Antloch districts wero in ulmost every case well received and received sonio kind of a contribution from thoso Interviewed. However there were places where the reverse was tru and great arguments and ex cuses were offered for not contrymt- ing. Some of those stories were gen nine, while In others the real excuse was their immense love for the al mighty dollar. There wero two ensss 111 the Antloch district which wo think worthy of note. Ono was a widow woman, Mrs. Mary Vincent, who gave us the last dollar she had; tho other was llttlo Esther Jones, flvo years of age, who brought out a saucer full of pennies which she had been saving for moro than two years. In both ofhesc cases we were reluctant about taking tho money, but wore promptly assured that they would feel better If wo took their mite, and by the eagerness wllh which they gave their last penny and the light lu their eyes, wo wero con vinced that there are actually some people yet who bellevo It is better to give than receive.

Mrs. Hoover Is tho daughter of Mr. and Mrs. McCns lln, prominent clttons of tho Euglo Point district.

The happy couple will mako their home at the Root orchard, where Mr. May holds the position of foreman. Their muny friends join In wishing them much happiness and prosperity. DOUBLY PROVEN Mcilfnril Renders Can No Longer Diitibl, the Evidence. This grateful citizen testified long ago. Told of quick relief of undoubted benefit. The fuels aro now confirmed. Such testimony Is completethe evidence conclusive. It forms convincing proof of merit. Andrew Cantrall, retired fanner, California street, Jacksonville, Ore gon, says: "I have used Donn's Kid ney d'llls and am glad to say that they helped mo. At tSio time, I was Bit f feeing from backaches und other symptoms of kidney diiuirder. Dean's soon stopped the trouble und I cannot pralso them too much." Over three years laler, Mr. Can trail added: The statement. I gave recommending Donn's Kidney Pills In 19119 still holds good. I Hum's surely gave me good relief and 1 have great faith In I hem."

Expectant Mothers Relieved of Pain Women Use Prescription oi Fam ous Physician. Since the days of our first parents in the Garden of Eden, women have borne the pain and discomfort of childbirth. Science on its part, has worked to modify and to relieve in part, the dreadful suffering at such a time. The preparation known as "Mother's Friend" is annlied bv the mother- to-be herself, externally, night and mornlnc. It nlieves the tension on the muscles, cords and ligaments of the abdomen, and the expectant mother is made much more comfort able. Tho crisis is one of much less pain nnd danger. Thousands of women who have used it successfully state that they cannot Bay enough about the good "Mother's Friend" did fcr them and refer par ticularly to the absence of nausea or morning sickness.
