IS PER CENT. NEW
QUOTA TO GO SOUTH
tContinued from First Page. |


day created a surprise. In addition
to increasing the quota. the Provost
Marshal directs that the men be sent
in five daily instalments, as nearly
equal as possible. These men will all
go to Camp Meade, there being no
change in the quotas to go to Camp
Lee and Camp Sherman. The new or
ders also mean added work to be done
by the local exemption boards and
the appeal board. in order to have the
necessary men certified for q week
from Wednesday. Only 1913 men have
been certified from Dauphin county so
far and unless the appeal board at its
meeting this week breaks all previous
records there will not be sufficient
men on hand to fill the quota.
Steelton has twenty-seven men GER
titled, Paxtang seventy-one and Eliz-
abethville thirty-hve. Steelton has
sent an added list of 112 names to
the appeal board for certifcation to-
day, and the other two boards have
either sent in another list or are rap
idly preparing one for the present
session of the board. No preparations
had been made for the reception of
the new orders and the boards have
been caught unawares. Indications
point that the only way possible to
secure the required number is to take
all those who have passed without
claiming exemption and sending them
along with those who have been GER
titled by the appeal board.
Act on Claims
At the meeting of the appeal board
this morning in the House caucus
rooms in the Capitol twenty-one
claims for exemption from Franklin
county were acted upon and of this
number four claims were denied, three
were allowed, and thirteen were sent
back to the claimants for further in
formation. The other action was upon
decision of the local board and this
was reversed. The claimant produced
affidavits from doctors stating that
he was physically unfit although he
had been passed by doctors of the
local boards. At the rate the board
has been acting upon claims and the
delay caused by the laxity of the
claimants in fling claims and caus-
ing them to be sent back for further
information, drags work along at a
slow rate and it will be some time
before all the claims are acted upon.
The new list of 112 names sent to
the board by Division No. / will in
all probability be acted upon late to-
day or tomorrow.
Yesterday the board at Division 2.
with headquarters in the Dauphin
building, examined forty-three men.
To-day forty-seven more were exam
ined and the results will be made pub
lie tomorrow. At Elizabethville,
fifty-four were examined yesterday.
and of this number thirty passed.
twenty-four were discharged and
seven did not claim exemption. These
two boards will continue eXamina-
tions during this week and after all
those summoned on this last call have
been examined, it is more than likely
that others will be called. The list
of those certified and returned to the
PaXtang board will be published to-
morrow. Both divisions and are
behind in the certification of the re-
quired forty-five per cent.
Thirty-SeVen More Certified
Thirty-seven names were returned
to the local exemption board at Eliz-
abethville yesterday as certified by
the district appeal board. The
names represent the men that will
go to Camp Meade with the first
contingent September 19. This board
is still behind in certifying the num-
ber of men necessary for the first
contingent and eleven more are nee
essary. These are expected to be
secured in the list that has been sent
to the district board to be acted
upon at it's meeting to-day. Yester-
day the local board examined 55 men.
