MANOA PURSER
AMONG DRAFTED

Purser H. w. D. Mckenzie of the
Manoa was the only one Of the ships
officers whose name was drawn in
the selectiye draft for recruits for
the new national army. Due to his
employment he can claim exemption
frUh military service and he was to
have been examined by an exemption
board in San Francisco Just before
the Manoa sailed for Honolulu. As he
was scheduled to appear before the
board at the sailing time Of the Ma
noa, he secured permission to be ex'
amined here, thinking that tSS ex'
emption boards were organized for
the islands.
Purser Mckenzie does not intend to
claim exemption on the grounds that
he IL engaged in ocean transportation,
as Is provided for IN the draft act
His only fear Is that the exemption
board will not consider his wishes and
hold that he is Of more national use
in his present occupation than he
would be in the trenches. His mum.
Der was the 32d drawn for his pre-
cinct, the 18th in San Francisco.
Two Of the Manoa Quartermasters
were among those whose draft mum
bers were drawn, but they have been
exempted from military service be-
cause OF their employment.
Other members Of the ships crew
drafted are exempted as they are
aliens, with the possible exception
of H. G. Austin, the ships clerk, who
may be among those called. 1t could
not be determined before the Manoa
left San Francisco whether or not his
name was In the list Of those who
must respond to the nations call, or
secure exemption for some good rea.
