The Times-Record is frequently ask
ed why it does not take stand for or
against revision of the constitution.
The present situation hardly calls for
advice, because it would not be needed
no matter how sound. The house will
evidently carry any program measure
submitted, and a hard headed bunch
in the senate are opposing the revision
measure. Meanwhile we are preparing
to grin and take what they give us.

EXEMPTION CASES NOW
PENDING ORDERED CLOSED

Under New Regulations Men Now in Ser
vice Cannot Get Their Cases Rsopsnsd
A few Nevada men who, though
on duty at Camp Lewis are endeavor-
ing to have their cases reopened in
an effort to secure exemption from
military service are doomed to dis
appointment under a new ruling
promulgated by the Provost Marshal
General and providing that leases of
men already indicted into military
service heretofore reopened and now
in process of reporting shall forth
withsbe closed and the prior DISPOSE
ton of the case adhered to-" 1t is
also provided that cases Of men in
Quoted into military service by a To-
cal board shall not be reopened after
such induction except is some special
ly noted cases. The instructions state
that the unrestricted reopening of
cases of men not yet indicted into
military service is delaying the rails
ing of the army, and the reopening
of cases of men already so indicted
is interfering with its training"
One who feels that he has not been
given a fair hearing before a local
board or the district board or an OPP
portunity to properly present his case
may, within seven days after his ar
rival at a mobilization camp, apply
to his commanding officer for dis
charge. and if such commanding Of
icer desires information regarding
the case he may request an investi-
cation by the Adjutant General of
the State from which the man comes.

LOCAL EXEMPTION BOARD REPORT

The Eureka County Exemption
Board has given the SENTINEL for
publication the following matters e
Gently acted upon by the Board:
Roy Charles Russell of Beowawe,
the next man in order on the Eureka
County list. was ordered to report
at Camp Lewis and left Pail
SADIE on November 81 for the north.
This action was made necessary
through the failure of Fred Allen to
report for transportation to the mo-
Utilization camp with the last incre-
ment of Eureka County's quota.
Allen left Beowawe about a month
ago, and the Sheriff has thus far
been unable to locate him. He has
been reported to the Adjutant Gen.
eral as one having failed to report
for military duty.
Earl Pace of Palisade, who enlisted
IN the Government service AFTER MS
name was published in the first draft,
has been permitted by the War De-
partment to remain in the Medical
Corps at Fort Riley. Kansas, and Eu-
reka County has been given credit
for his enlistment in the first quota.
j. C. Tyler of Eureka, one of this
county's men now in service at Camp
Lewis, recently made application to
have his case re-opened, with a view
of being discharged on the grounds
that he has a wife and child depend
ent on him for support. The Local
Board decided that he had previously
had ample time to present his claim
for exemption and denied the appli-
cation.
