 YAVAPA|
Names Sent DoWn
 To District Board
THIS CONSTITUTES THE FIRST INCREMENT OF THIS COUNTY TOWARD
 397 MEN IT MUST PUT INTO NATIONAL ARMY
(From Tuesdays Daily0

l -J At the close of strenuous day, the local board last night certified to the district board at Phoenix, the first list of soldiers.
 This list included only the ll5 men from among the first 794 called, who responded, passed the physical exam ination and asked for no exemption. They are the first honor roll of Hav, apai county.
 The board. until the late drastic rulings of the provost marshal gen. eral office were issued, regarded the draft as merely a distorted form of enlistment The men who were able physically and were willing to go, waived exemptions. Those who were towards or thought more of their comfort than their country, stuck in an exemption claim, thereby dishon- bring in the public eye the men who had honest and worthy exemption claims.
 Now, however, 1t is probable that out of the l43 who have filed eXemp- ton claims among the first call, there will be a score or more soldiers, who do not think now. that they are going. Under recent rulings, the board s power and responsibility are greatly increased.
 No summary was made mp from the men examined yesterday, but the re- suits will probably show an increasr in physically fit and in those who claim no exemptions. A rough check showed that out of l45 examined, about l20 Of these passed and 51 of them didn't claim exemption.
 The first quota responded with 4IO out of 794 Of those who did respond, not quite g per cent became soldiers in the making, by the action of the board in certifying their names to the district board last night
 The next call will probably be is, sued tomorrow morning, the men to report on August Fist.
