LESS THAN HALF.
Of FIRST DAYS
QUOTA EXAMINED.

The physical examination Of the men
summoned on the first call from Sum
ter comfy for service in the new ma
tionaI army to be formed under the
draft act, began this morning at 5
o'clock at the courthouse under the
supervision of the Sumter Exemption
Board.
At o'clock this afternoon 50 men
had been examined by the physicians,
Drs. r. E. Cato, H. A. Smith and D. B.
Mayes. Of this number 19 were found
physically unfit for military service,
while the remaining 39 were certified
as eligible for duty as far as physical
condition is concerned.
Out of the 33 men found physically
fl for military service, q filed notice
with the exemption board that they in
tend to claim exemption on one or
more grounds.
Three days have been set aside for
physical examination of the 500 men
summoned by the exemption board,
having been planned to examine 161
men today, 167 tomorrow and 166 on
Thursday. With the first day more
than half gone, less than half the re-
quired 167 had been tested and it SEEM
ed certain that the examinations would
continue far into the night, in order
that the schedule for the three days
may not be disarranged,
The courthouse was the scene of
great activity all day, crowds OF draft
ed men thronging the building, wait
ing their turn to pass under the scru-
tinizing eye Of the examining physic-
ians The courtroom on the second
floor is being utilized as an assembly
room for those waiting to be examined.
Dressing rooms have been fitted up in
opposite corners by using portable
screens and as the men disrobe they
pass directly into the jury rooms,
where the examining physicians make
the physical tests which determine one
feature of the eligibility for military
service.
When the physical examinations
have been completed, ten days are al
lowed for the filing of affidavits in
support of exemption claims and as
fast as these affidavits are filed, the
exemption board will pass on the
claims. At the end of the 10 days the
list of men selected for service and
not exempted for any reason, will be
posted by the exemption board and also
sent forward to the office of Adjt Gen.
Van Holt Nash, after which the War
Department will notify each man Sc
lected as to whom he must report for
duty.
Only a few men have thus far failed
to appear for examination as their
numbers were called. Several notifica-
ton cards were returned by the To-
cal postal authorities as unbelievable
ard it was expected that some of the
drafted men would not put in an ap-
pearance. However, those men who
fail to appear for examination are
posted as eligible for service, and
will be obliged to report without fur
ther ceremony.

LONDON. June 10. While the
Spanish Embassy here insists that
IL has received no advices concerning
internal conditions in Spain. meagre
news dispatches and private messages
indicate that the situation is taking
new form.

says the government has granted the

other adYices this has only increased

Accordingly, these elements have

ing tnat the country never can be
saved under the present regime and
piedging themselves to use their in
nuence TO effect what may be ex-
pcdient in order that the sovereign
Will Of the. nation may prevail over

The causes of this coalition Of ele-
ments favoring republic and their
manifesto against the monarchy in
clude the fearful economic paralysis
that is overwhelming the country and
the persistent reports that the court
clique is preparing 10 install n new
and thoroughly pro-German Veaction-

King Alfonso Is described as pro-Ally

"Whsn IL Nv Turn?"

Two self questions uppermost in
America today are:- when can I be-
gin service for the country" and How
can I get out of serving my country at
all?"
Fortunately there are millions Of the
first, and they are well represented by
a letter to the New York Sun. The
letter and the editors answer are
Of interest to all and enlightening to
most OF us. We give them below:
To the Editor of the Sun-sir:In
the event Of great military operations
on the part Of the United States, wher
will 1t be my turn to go out? l am 81

New York, March "a.
What are the human Of
America presumably to be tappeu pe-
fore it is j. j. LIS turn? It is a mat
terror statisticians and military genius
es to ponder and then perhaps leave
without having reached an agreement.
Ask the sergeant in the park what
he wants and he will tell you hat it
is able-bodied patriots between the ages
of 10 and 80. If the single men are to
step forward first, there are about T.
000, 600 in the continental United States.
How many of these would be accept
ed? Nobody knows. Last year, Of 161, SIT
applicants az regular army stations, 81
46S were enlisted, or II per cent. About
~two-thirds of the applicants were re-
jected for physical, mental and moral
defects; the others for minority. for be-
ing aliens or illiterates or for failure to
report.

So We're willing and able there would be
an army Of 1850, 900 men. But who can
say, after what has been observed
abroad in the last two years, what per-
.centage Of the willing and able it would
be able to take from the farms and the
factories? Young men went forth to
slcry in Flanders. only to be called
back to the munitions benches. where
England and France had discovered
they were needed most.
"The number Of married men between
10 and So is slightly smaller than that
Of the bachelors, but it is likely that
the recruiters Would pick a larger and
finer army from them if physical, men,
tai and moral virtues were the only
considerations. But there are greater
handicaps among the married men in
the way OF dependent persons. Also.
the married man is usually a better
mar on the farm and in the shops. and
there can be no neglect Of tie field or
factory morale in a war which would
enlist America not only as a fighter
but as a huge producer of food and
other material

question. j. J. L. Nobody can now.
