MEN FOR EXAMINATION

Replying TO the warning issued yes
terday by United states District Attor-
ney Charles +. curley. that makers Of
false a1ldaviis In support Of claims for
exemption from military service Will
be prosecuted, members OF the local
/ exemption boards stated today that %
per cent. OF the aiildavils nled with
! Them are false at least 90 "a degree.
They say that The majority OF the
makers of them have no intent 90 DELHI
crately falslfy, but that the falsliy Is
due 10 the elasticity OF the form OF
the ailldaNit required by the govern
mcni. I'm illling cut these forms the
makers take advantage of the latitude
allowed In them and naturally turn
this advantage 20 their own purposes
This makes the affidavit false, but
not to such an extent that the gov
ornment would be warranted in max
ing any prosecutions on them. On
tho other hand thero are many afn-
/ davits filed which are false through
out and made so deliberately by the
maker for the express purpose of de-
ceiving In such cases as these
whore they are discovered, the gov
eminent win be asked TO prosecute.
and the guilty persons will be dealt
| with in a severe manner.
