Political “Pull” Must Not ■ Influence Draft Exemptions Political influences in the working of the draft exemption boards is a peril various journals foresee with alarm, and in their support they have no less an authority than the President himself who sounded a note of caution on this point in his proclamation announcing the rules and regulations governing the selection of men for service in the national war-army. I To avert the scandal of the draft being used to settle political scores, the Chicago Tribune thinks it might be wise to create “a high class impartial commission, or at least to form a citizens’ commission to supervise the entire draft. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week, July 14th number, the general rules I governing the selection of men for the national war-army are given, and the note of warning that boards shall not be derelict in their duty, is heard from various sources. Among otke< articles of supreme importance in this number of the “Digest” are: How Russia Has “Come Back” I The Smashingly Effective Stroke of Russia’s Young Minister of War, Alexander Kerensky, Who, Like Napoleon at Lodi, Personally Led His Army to Victory America’s First Victory Over The Civil War in China I Germany State Purchase Instead of I rohibiEast St. Louis Race Riots tion in England Giving the Railroads Half a Loaf Spain’s Rebellious Army Why Tino Had To Go Hudson Maxim’s Plans for Torpedo-Proof Ships Germany’s Aims in Russia Plans for Rebuilding Europe’s Ruined Gties Laying Telephone Cables Under Fire War’s Effect on English Art -w A Motor-Car Grocery Store The “Battle Hymn’ for the Allies Ireland Clutching the Torch of Prose Injustice to Conscientious Objectors Many Striking lUu»trationt An Accurate Barometer of Financial Movements Readers of THE LITERARY DIGEST will natu- that go to make up the wealth of the nation.
