Of the total number of men who passed
the physical examinations have asked
for exemption on one ground or other.
Perhaps SO per cent Of those claiming
exemptions will be certified TO the
district board as being ready for mill
tary service The district board will
probably cut down this number by at
least 30 per cent. so that not more
than 25 per cent OF the total claims
for exemption will pass the district
board. Looking to this end. John b.

task by the war department, ana every
claim for exemption which Is allowed

him to the district board for re-

The time is now up for the filing
OF claims for exemption before the

such claims with the city board will
be certified to the district board as
