Employers Advised to
- iAsk Exemption of
i Men Needed at Home
Washington, , Sept. 6. Because
many men of the new draft ages are
expected to refuse to claim exemp
tion from military service, regardless
of the need for them at. home, the
provost marshal general's office to-day,
suggested that employers or in
terested dependents should not fail
to file formal claims in such, cases.
It. is pointed out that the form of
the questionnaire purposely leaves
the exemption claim open to be filled
by others than the registrant him
aelD General Crowder's staff feels
that 'failure to present legitimate ex
emption claims for sentimental rea
son will almost certainly, work hard-
aip$ ana injustice.

Germany and Austria
Agree Peace Move Now
Would Be Inopportune
Washington, Sept. 6. Germany and

is no time to start a peace offensive,
according to a dispatch from Switter
land today reporting on the recent
conference at Vienna between Ad
miral von flintze and Count Burian.

Bill With "Dry" Rider
Passes Senate FmaDy;
ill Go to Conference
Washington, Sept. 6. The $12,000,
000 emergency agricultural appropria
tion bill with its rider for national
prohibition from next July 1 until the
American armies are demobilized af
ter the end of the war was passed
tonight by the senate without a roll
call. Before final passage of he measure,
the senate voted. 45 to 6, to retain
the prohibition rider. A final effort
to postpone the effective date of the
'dry" legislation to December JO,
1919, was defeated.
The bill now goes to the hcjuse, and
because of the many amendments In
serted by the senate, it undoubtedly
will be sent to conference. Prohibi
tion leaders, however, expect the
house to agree to the "dry" rider so
that there will be no possibility of
changes being made by the senate and
house managers.
