Registrants Examined To
daybut Majority Want
to be Released.
TWENTY OF NUMBER
HAVE BEEN REJECTED
Another Call will be Neces-
sary to Obtain the Quota,
i Board Members Say.

4 M AT the court house this morning
nd AIS OF the 1879 registrants included IN
ssriohe last draft call. appeared for ex-
sse Animation. Twenty of this number
re- were rejected for physical disability
sculnd It is predicted that nearly 80
sUsisnore will make claims for exemption.
! MI Before enough men are secured 10
Er1yilk up the first quota 1t will be neces-
4 Mary to issue another call, 1t is now
Spareertain. Just how many men will be
obtained for service from the l39
Alkalled for examination today, cannot
PIG 30 estimated, but it is not believed
~ That more than rs or 80 will enter the
eeuuhRtional army without protest.
Eices@ The demand for exemptions from
hEegistrants continues and a big task
ssxss.ssaow awaits thu local board. Efforts
sISSsare being made by the local off1clals
80 obtain as many men as possible, and
SstAlthough more than enough men have
snn3een certified here, the district board
establishments continues to grant re-
M Ieases in cases that were discredited
;yslnapy county exemption board members.
sFew claims for release from mill
III obligations have not been granted.
I MfChe success of those who desire to
the draft has brought en-
EecS.ouragement to others who have only
SSarflimsy excuses to offer and as a result
sstt sout'very few men do not file some
vkind of a claim. The local board has
Fare yifted down each case and returned
Eeadvhat is believed to be fair decisions.
The claimant, however. is still en-
ToAtled to appeal to the district board at
Bismarck. and those who a " taken
seorhdvantage Of this privilege rarely are
8$1rrslisappOinted, it appears. The state
ssurf,ficials abide by the affidavits and
McDeslave been conducting no investiga-
sarisions. The veracity of the afhdavits
Mkemafned inquest oned, but a promise
been made that each case will be
Fprkbrobed at a later date. /
SEfref That conditions surrounding the
mrlraft in Grand Forks county are not
inr>atisfe Glory, local officials admit.
u. Registrars are filing claims without
sA,.Saatalled to task for exaggeration, grow

u Rexemption board, officials claim there
5clos1ew is sufficient material to prove
nth hat a great many Of the claims made
Y. Ere false. This evidence will be held
y Mrlntil a later date, in the belief that
lie government officials will start action
Y,intnd prosecute. The delay in investi-
Sid eating, however, is resulting in the
ssome1ling of many more false claims, they
Esrmieclare.
Just how stringent the government
! Twill be when the probe Of claims
ldtheommences is not known. In the
5~Stermeantime county officials must con-
to issue examination calls and
~ strive to obtain enough men to fill VI
( rrshe quota. Nearly all claims made for
dependency appear to be granted
