John H. Walker, president of the Illinois Federation of Labor, and Free P. Morris of Watseka, prominent Democratic leader downstate, are named on the board in District Eight.
Coincidentally with the announcement of the appeal boards the Washington authorities indicated they expected the first of the selective draft men to be in camp by Aug. 1.

Selection, Not Exemption, Boards.
Provost Marshal General Crowder, under whose jurisdiction the selective draft men will remain until they are transferred to the books of the adjutant general as soldiers, pointed out that the local boards actually are selection, not exemption, boards.
The primary purpose, he said, was to select from registered men those qualified for military service. The men they turn away after examination will be rejected, rather than exempted, because of physical disability or dependents.
The exemption boards proper are the district boards, which have power to say whether the work a man is doing at home will be more important to the government than his services as a soldier.

Extra Call Here Likely.
That hardly a district in Chicago, if one, will furnish the net quota of fighting men with the examination of the double quota, summoned in the first contingent was the prediction last night of local exemption officials.
A subsequent summoning of additional men to fill out the net quota of accepted fighters is practically certain for all the districts, they believe.
.A scrutiny of the registration cards in the election board's rooms discloses the fact that approximately 50 per cent of the total number of registrants claim exemption because of total disability, family dependents, and occupational expedition, in addition to the special classes exempted by the president's proclamation, and the large number of aliens.

123,420 Waive Exemption.
After all the deductions had been made it was found that out of the approximate 314,000 registrants in Chicago 123,420—117,323 whites and 6,097 Negroes—waived all exemption claims on their registration cards.
While the fighting quota, the officials said, will be secured easily in all districts, with the possible exception of the sections where the aliens predominate, it will require a much larger number of examinations that is provided in double the quota of fighting men called in the first contingents for the examinations.
If the percentage of exemptions indicated by the registration cards is maintained in the examination, then half of the first contingent called will be exempted, leaving only one-half, or the net quota asked, out of which to secure 100 per cent.
This is not possible, for out of the 50 per cent not claiming exemption, which corresponds to the net quota asked, a large number of men will be rejected for physical disability.
In the civil war draft 25.77 per cent were rejected for physical defects.
Chief Clerk Egan put his figures higher than all the others. He predicted that in some districts all the men registered will have to be called before the fighting quota is secured.
"Members of some of the boards have told me," he said, "that they have more aliens registered in their districts than American citizens. These are automatic-

Official Advisor Named.
Major B. M. Chiperfield of Canton, attached to the provost marshal's staff, has been assigned to Chicago by Adjutant General Dickson to act as legal advisor to the Chicago boards during the examinations. Gen. Dickson so notified Mr. Egan yesterday.
Chairman Jacob Bernheim of district 44 board, last night sent a long telegram to Adjt. Gen. Dickson asking for an interpretation of a message received from Men. Crowder, relative to the basing of quotas on the full population, including aliens population. According to Gen. Crowder, the alien population cannot be excluded in basing quotas, as the original allotments were based on population, and not the number of citizens only in any one district.

MAJOR FRANKLIN R. KENNY—RUTH LAW.

Ruth Law last night flew over the loop in behalf of the allied recruiting drive. Upon the planes of her machine the word "Enlist" was arranged in electric lights. The above pictures of her flight were taken by a "Tribune" photographer.

LIKE ELECTRIC BUTTON ON TOES
[---]
Tells why a corn is so painful and says cutting makes them grow.
[---]
Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes the sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a small bottle of freezone. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This drug is harmless and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin.
Genuine freezone bears the name Edward Wesley Co., Cincinnati, O.—Adv.

RESERVE CORPS OFFICERS GIVEN JOLT BY ARMY
[---]
BY PARKE BROWN.
Fort Sheridan, Ill., July 25.—[Special.]— Some men who entered the training camp here as reserve lieutenants, captains, and even majors will step down in rank before they leave and some will lose their commissions.
One major has been called before the board of officers considering instructors' recommendations and offered a lieutenancy. Another major has been told that his age bars him from any position below the one he now holds and that he is not considered fitted for that rank.
In other words, reserve officers and being judged on the same basis of leadership and efficiency as other students.
The First Illinois Field artillery, encamped here, will give a special program Sunday as a reception to the war relief society of the regiment. There will be drills, addresses, a concert and a baseball game.

| foreign nations sent word to this country to furnish them with the respective lists of all their subjects here who are within the draft age fixed by this government. Then let all such men who are not eligible to exemption immediately go home to their native heath and join the colors for the duration of this war.
"Here in Chicago the male alien population within the draft ages is equal to 60 per cent of the entire number of American citizens who have not sought exemptions thus far. That is dead wrong. Either these aliens who are free to fight and can fight ought to take out their first papers immediately and ask to be permitted to go the front, or they should be shipped back to their respective nations and forced to carry their share of the burden.
"With the whole world at war, it is not right that Chicago alone should have 75,822 men who are automatically exempt from all military service because they come under the alien classification.

WAR INSURANCE, NOT PENSIONS, PLANNED BY U.S.
Washington, D.C., July 25.-[Special.]--If present plans of the government carry there will be no pension rolls established as a result of the war against Germany. For pensions a system of insurance will be substituted.
Under the government's proposal every member of the army, navy, and marine corps would be entitled to insurance ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, paying a premium of $8 per thousand. This insurance would be assumed by the government in lieu of any pensions.
In addition to this form of insurance

Ocean Shipments Stopped.
Several months ago, according to dealers, the British government placed orders here for several million pounds of poultry. Local operators accumulated large stocks to fill these orders and were ready to export when the British government commandeered all available ocean tonnage for the transportation of ammunition.
Having no means to ship their poultry abroad, the dealers were forced to keep their supplies in storage here. They are now compelled to dispose of these holdings and are offering them at prices that leave them facing losses.
The United States government, apprised of the situation, sent out a bulletin asking retailers to cooperate by reducing their selling prices and thus encourage increased consumption, which would tend to conserve other meats and stating that "unless these stocks are moved quickly farmers who have increased this year's flocks in response to a patriotic appeal will not have normal marketing conditions when their stock comes to market."

"Iced" Poultry Costs More.
Dealers in fresh killed "iced" poultry stated they would be glad to help holders dispose of their stocks, but they objected to having "frozen" poultry sold as "iced" poultry, which cost 7 to 10 cents a pound more.
"We are not trying to sell frozen poultry under the guise of iced poultry." said H. Lepman of Lepman & Heggie, "but are offering a product fully as wholesome for much less money."
"The chickens now being offered are of the 1916-1917 crop," said W. S. MSors [[?]] of O. D. Dillman [[?]] & Co. "They are su |
