APPEAL TO BAKER 4 Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 21—To au- - peal directly to Secretary of War ’ Baker to release members of their J church from military service because '| of their religious coivictions, four I members of the Amish church left yesterday with R. Earl Peters, local attorney, i for Washington. The four were Joseph Graber, sr.. John SchuI macker. John Lengacher, and Peter j’Steury allxtf near Milan Center. J Appeals of the ohurchmen for exemption from the draft because of ’ their religion have been of no avail since ruling handed down by Provost Marshal Enoch H. Crowder have been t that conscientious objectors should he assigned to service as non-combatants. Local boards have rejected all claims for exemption on these grounds and e similar action has been taken throughc out the country. The Second Indiana ,t District Board of Appeals has not •- accted on any of these cases but the e ruling i« expected to be the same e as the local boards. j- Since all local pleas have been of 1- no avail. the churchmen chose the only course left open, to carry the I

case to the national capital. They) hope to obtain audience with the secretary of war at once and get! a definite decision as soon as pos--sible. o STATE RED CROSS WORKER State Chairman Will Attend Local; Meeting Tonight.
