NEW CALL FOR MONTGOMERY.
Only 35 Obtained in First Quota of

ROCKVILLE. August 4.-The work
Of physically examining the men
from among whom it was thought
Montgomery county's quota of I31 for
the National Army would be obtained
was concluded late this afternoon, hav-
Ing consumed three days.
In all. 235 were examined, and of
these fifty-two were rejected as being
physically unfit for military service.
OF Use accepted as Mt all but thirty
five claimed exemption. almost all on
the ground of dependents. and quite
large percentage of the thirty-five
are expected to file with the district
board claims for exemption on occupa-
tional grounds.
While it is believed to. be certain
that large number of the claims for
exemption will be rejected, 1t is not
thought possible that the county's
quota can be obtained from the men
examined. and another call is expected
to be issued in the near future.
The local exemption board will be-
gin Monday to consider claims for ex-
emption and the work is expected to
be completed in a few days.
