All tho light that publicity can give Is to be turned on Applications for exemption or discharge from military service under the drart. The United Slates government be lloves a man's neighbors can some times supply soma Interesting infor mation as to ttie real motives behind an application for exemption or dis charge. So the governmont Is taking steps to see that the neighbors, and the public generally, have every op portunity to find out .thru the news papers, what men have asked exemp tion, and the reasons they have as signed for asking it. To Insure the necessary publicity, all exemption boards, 1y direction of the provost marshal general at Wash ington, have received po:-.ltlvo instruc tlons from the adjutant-general at Portland immediately to make availa ble to the press the names of all per sons claiming exemption or discharge and the grounds on which such claims are based. I If any person has Information con trary to -the facts as alleged by the claimant, the government representa tive who usually Is the county at torney will Investigate. . If he finds the claimant has wrong ly stated the facts, the government representative will Inform the local board and, if necessary, carry the case on appeal to the district board. Thus the Interests ot other men who would be called up for service ahead of their proper time if exemp tions were granted to men ahead of them not entitled to exemption, will be protected.. In explaining the reason for mak ing this order to local boards, the provost marshal general said, in part: "The names of all registered men are on a list arranged In the order In which they will be called for military service. Wherever any registered: person Imposes upon a local board and Improperly secures a certificate of exemption or discharge, ha ad vances the time ot call of all other uncalled persons on the list. "For this reason every registered person and, to some extent, every person In tho cojiiiminlty Is more or less directly Interested in seetng that the true facts are brought to the at tention of the government." :L0NDON, : Aug, !). Special din patches from Petrogrutl, reviewing the construction of the new ministry, agree that altho it is not ideal, it probably is as strong as ; circum stances permit. All reference to the immensity of the task confronting it, the lirst necessity being the restora tion of order und discipline in the a nny, the present condition of which warrants the greatest anxiety. In ternal disorganization is hardly less serious. N One correspondent refers to fac tories being brought one by one to n partial standstill, owing to a lack of fuel, which is due to a lack of trans portation, while lengthening lines, waiting at shop doors, murmur ap prehensively' of the coining winter. ; Tho same writer refers to Prem ier Kercnsky as "turning for advice to the aged grandmother of the rev olution, Catherine . Breshkovsknyn, "in the tremendous burden of respon sibilities he has undertaken." The decision of M. Tseretelli to remain outside the ministry ns a con necting link between tho government and the Workmen's and Soldiers' council, is mainly approved and his appeal to the latter to abandon tin domestic class war nnd range them selves around the government to save the country, is wannly com mended. It is believed he will have great influence in inducing the workmen's nnd soldiers' council to strengthen Premier Kcrensky, whose maintenance at the head of the nil ministration is regarded ns of pur amount importance. If Kercnsky fails, one correspondent says, ltus- sian democracy will receive a blow from which it will hardly recover. PROBE OF HOUR en IS I' MONTREAL. Aug. 0.
