The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1917-07-26
DRAFTED MEN
TO REPORT SOON
Friday. August 3. Is Probable
Date of the First Physi-
cal Examination.
Applicants for Exemption Are
Given Seven Days to
File Notices.

The Democrat was held until af-
ter the arrival of No. / today in the
hope that the official draft list
would be received by the local board.
1t failed to arrive, however, so we
can only print the unofficial list, as
given in the dailies. We are merely
printing part of the numbers, those
from which the first seventy-two will
be called.
Thomas R. Sdener was the first
man drawn in Seward County by the
selective draft process. His number
was 25S. Elonzo R. White was the
thirteenth man drawn. His serial
number was 43. Charles Wesley
Lusk was the seventh man drawn.
Seven, according to the ancients, was
exceptionally lucky.
The first examination for candi-
dates drawn will probably be held on
August 8. The examining board will
be in session three days for the pur-
pose Of examining the men for Sew
ard County's quota Of SO.
Two physical examinations are to
be given the men drawn for the
draft, second examination being
given by dicerent examiner in case
the man fails to pass the pass the
first one.
Start 1t August 3.
Friday, August 3, will probably be
the date of the first physical >examin-
ations Of Kansans drawn in the
draft last week.
One third Of the men to be ex-
amined are to appear the first day,
another third the second day and the
remainder the last day Of the boards
sittings. For example, should the
quota in one county be $50, the num-
Der ordered to appear before the
board would be twice that number,
300, of which 100 would appear the
first day.
Applicants for exemption are al
lowed seven days after notification
in which to file notice Of exemption
claim, and on the tenth day, an affi-
davit setting forth the reasons for
exemption must be in the hands of
the board, it is announced.
Fees for Physicians.
Physician members of the board
and the assisting physicians are to
be allowed 10 cents an examination,
it was announced. 1t is thought that
most of the physicians will refuse
the state allowance, and offer their
services gratuitous.

includes the First, Second, Third and
