times bureau, at state Capital. 1XDIAXAPOI.IS. IN P., May 2.V An announcement that came from -Washington, last night, is of interest all over Indiana. Jt said that no exemptions from the draft under the new law will be made or considered until after the draft itself has been made. In 'other words, al! men within the age limits prescribed by the law must register, regardless of whether they are married and have dependents to care for. or whether they are crippled or unfit for service for any reason. They must all register. Then the names will be put in a box and the required number will be drawn out. After that has been done any man whose name has been drawn has the right to claim exemption from service in the army, but be is required to prove that he is entitled to the exemption. He cannot claim exemption until after the names have been drawn and It Is known whether be is in the list of those drawn for service. It will be up to the local boards to decide whether he shall be exempted. Another dispatch from "Washington that if of interest to many persons in Indiana is that the men now in the officers' reserve training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison will receive $100 a month for the three months that they are in the camp. The money has not yet been appropriated, but it is in the army deficiency bill which has been passed by both branches cf Congress and is now In the hands of a conference committee. The disratch says there 1s not tho least danger that this provision will be eliminated. The bill will be finally agreed on in a few days and then when It is signed by the President the money will be available to pay thest! men. The ghost will -walk for them, but Just how soon is the Question.

The extra thickness of the Michelin Tread due to extra rubber and fabric means additional mileage. Especially is this true since every ounce of rubber and fabric is the toughest that

money, skill and experience can produce. Michelins give so much mileage that they'd be economical even if high r-rtced. But they're

A spirited race was on today between subscription canvassers in Indianapolis and Gary to determine which group would be first to reach its apportionment in the war work fund of tho Young Jlen's Christian Association. The contest was epecia.l!y interesting to the state cosimlttee. of which W. D. Allison is chairman, and it was expected that the race would be a lie. In Indianapolis the canvassers had to raise $3,S92 to reach their goal of 37.500. and the Gary forces were $1,957 short of their apportionment of $17, DUO. Indianapolis is headquarters for the. war work district No. 7. and Gary is headjuarters for district No. 1, including Lake, Torter, Newton and Jasper counties. "Up to this morning Indiana people had
