PORTLAND, Aug. 9. 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.
