the time the first draft was being
made for the new national army, was
summoned to report for physical ex-
animation but failed to and was cer-
titled to the adjutant general as de-
linquent, Fred Haskell did not know
that he was wanted until Friday when
he learned Of the fact and appeared
before the county exemption board,
failed to pass the physical test and
was discharged.
The county board have made the
facts known in connection with Has
kelrs case. The press published the
names of all men summoned for phys
lcal~ examination and when they failed
to appear on the dates set by the board
that fact was also reported. Later
when 1t became necessary to certify
the names of those failing to report,
to the military authorities. Haskelrs
name appeared on the list. The news
papers also published that fact. No
one apparently knew what had become
of Haskell. He has registered at
Eagle. To that address the board sent
all of his notices. He received none
of them, SO ne informed the board.
BOARD Is SATISFIED.
George E. Atwater, chairman of the
board made the following statement
with regard to this particular case,
one of the most unusual that has been
called to the attention of the board:
Fred Haskell of Eagle, who had
been called for examination by the
Ada county exemption board on Aug.
II, and failed to report was certified
up as n deserter, but appeared Fri
day morning before the board stating
that he has been living and working
all this time in Boise, in one of the
auto tire repair shops and had not re-
ceived his mail for some reason. He
therefore, did not know he had been
called. The board, believing that he
made a truthful statement. at once
took his physical examination finding
him disqualified and not fit for mil
tary service, discharged him.
Upon the appearance of Mr.. Has
kell every man called by the board
las reported, thus making a clean rec
ord for the board.
"Of the two deserters, Earl Sny-
der, is now serving a sentence for
forgery in the Oregon state prison at
Salem, and the other, Everett Dow
Rambo is still at large, but it Is hoped
that he will soon be apprehended by
the government secret service.
"Out of 76 men sent to American
Lake only four have been rejected and
the board is feeling good over this rec
ord
QUESTIONABLE COPY RECEIVED.
The county board is in receipt of a
few copies of the new QUESTIONABLE
which all registered men will have to
fill out and return to the local boards
In the counties in which they were
registered. The regulations covering
the new system of classification OF
registrants are also in possession of
the board. They re volumnous. The
QUESTIONABLE Is tAmpact pamphlet in
itself and when properly filled out will
place the board in possession of al
most the life history of some of the
registrants. Employment, character
and place, for 10 years prior to regis
tration, must be listed. Every possible
avenue of information Is opened ur
and the registrant is required to supply
It without unnecessary. As there are
six classifications, the returned ques-
tionnaires will have to be carefully
classified, and those whose papers fal
within the first class will be summoned
first, in order of their call numbers, fol-
military service. Aliens fall within the
last class, as do also officials of var
tous kinds and classes
The district exemption board which
has been in session for the past weel
making a summary of its records will
adjourn late today.
