To obtain exemption or discharge from tho draft will not be quite the simple matter that some persons have thought it. The government does not desire to draft men who have persons aetualily dependent upon them, or whose -exemption on other grounds is clearly desir able. Neither does it intend that any man who should go shall 'be excused. .Absolute proof, in the form of sworn affidavits and supporting affidavits. to the truth of every claim (or exeiri; tion, will be required. Exemption will not be regarded as claimed because of any statement mads on the registration card- A new claim, supported by affidavits, must be made in each case. . . ; Incidentally, no claim for exemption or discharge may be made by any man until he actually has been ealled hp by his exemption board for physical examination.. - . - - . ' For example, a man who expects to be called at some future time cannot make his claim for exemption now.

In connection with the death of Baby Meter, Dr. Haiselden said ha believed if it was humane to take the life of an animal which was hopelessly crip pled, it was likewise humane to permit a hopelessly imperfect infant to pass into tho next world.
