Opinions from tho war depart

be requested by the local boards.
Ono man has claimed exemption

The local boards issue blank forms
for the making OF the claims. but

are first heard by the local board
and can be taken TO the district
board only on appeal.
Thus far. District Q. which began
examinations at the public safety

bS men called failed to pass the
physical tests. and only 30 per cent
Of those passed asked for eNemp-
ton claim blanks.
Seven Fall 10 Appear
Seven men. however. did not
show up for examinations. Col.
Hawthorne. executive officer, SAYS
he will issue second call within
a few days. but II is probable that
he will obtain his quota OF men
with n lower number called than
any other board. Most OF the
boards viii have TO examine 800
times as many men as are needed
for the national army.
