NAMES CERTIFIED
Washington County Men Who VII
Serve In the National Army

Serve In the National Army
The Washington County exemption
board, which fer the past three weeks
has been engaged IN the task of
selecting this county's quota of 76
men for the National Army, has COM
pleted its work and the pa
pers in the cases appealed
from the action of the local board
were fled with the district board at
Fort Smith Wednesday. A total of
SO names were certified to the dis
trict board. Of this number Il have
filed claims with the district board
claiming exemption on the ground
that they are engaged in agricultural
pursuits. Fifteen, whose claims for
exemption on account Of dependent
relatives were disallowed by the To-
cal board, have appealed to the dis
trict board. Six We're certified as
having failed to appear when called,
and three, Norman Mccartney, Thor
gney g. Carlson and F. P. Hall, Jr.,
all of Fayetteville, who were in the
officers training camp, were certified
for the reason that their officers failed
to furnish proper certificate to the
local board.
The district board met in Fort
Smith Thursday to take UP appeal
cases from the various counties.
1t is not considered likely that the
board will grant any exemptions
from this county on account of occu-
patton of claimants, and It is not ex-
pected that the local board will be
overruled IN many cases where ex-
emptions were disallowed on the
claim of dependent relatives.
It IS stated that FIVE per cent of
the men Will be moved to Camp Pike,
Little Rock, beginning September 5,
forty per cent beginning September
Il, forty per Ger. beginning Oeto-
Der 3 and the remaining fifteen per
cent as soon thereafter as practi-
cable. The order in which a man was
selected will have nothing to do with
the order IN which he is moved to the
camp. Instructions have been issued
to local boards to select as the first
contingent, so far as practicable,
men who have had previous military
experience or cooks. The object of
this is to place enough men in the
camps to form skeleton organiza-
ton to assist in receiving and assim-
lating the large contingents to come
later.
