1t will be noted from the above
that many failed to make their ap-
pearance before the board on the
dates mentioned in notices which
were sent to all conscripts. What
action will be taken against those
who failed to appear is not definitely
known, nor are the reasons for their
non-appearance known Certain it
is that all who received notices are
pledged to their Government to ap-
pear before the board unless pre-
vented by some legitimate reason
FIFTY MORE MEN CALLED
Recent advices are to the effect
that the Somerset County Exemption
Board have issued another call for
fifty men, who will appear for exam
ination today Thursday, Those
who are summoned on this call in
clude numbers between 500 and $50.
The small number who are being
summoned would tend to show that
the quota has nearly been reached
since the Board hopes to get the full
number following the examination of
the new delegation of conscripts
