One Hundred and Eighty
Names Certified TO Ap-
peal Exemption Board.
NEED "a MORE TO
MAKE UP QUOTA
Some of Those Granted Ex-
eanption BY Local Board
May Be Recalled.

One hundred and eighty drafted
men from Escarbia county were cer.
titled by the local board to the appeal
exemption board last night, as those
who will serve in the new national
army from this county. Ninty-four
additional men are necessary to make
up the quota of 274, but some who
were called in the first. draft have not
reported, while some who are away
are not counted in the list. Of the
143 who are granted exemption, 1t is
possible that the decision Of the local
board may be reversed on the appeal,
and additional men added to the list.
1t is estimated that at least two
hundred will be called into serViceaout
of the first $50, but final action by
the appeal board will be awaited be.
fore any additional names are called,
according to a statement last night by
members of the board. In this esti.
mate, allowance is made for the
granting of exemptions by the appea.
board, which were denied blythe lower
board.
Except for those who are omitted
IN the first examinations the certifca-
ton last night completes the work Of
the local board for this county, as far
as the first draft is concerned. AL
of the $50, unless exemptions are
granted by the appeal board, will &C
into the federal training camps in
September.
In making the first draft to supply
Escambia's quota of PA men, Isl
men were called. Of the $50 calleI,
465 reported for examination. o
which 323 passed. More than two
thirds of this number who passed tie
physical tests, filed exemption claims,
of which more than half were refused.
Nearly all of the S5 who did not e
port have been rounded up by the
sheriff.
All exemptions are automatically
appealed to the higher board, judo
Henry Bellinger having been selected
by the provost marshal to do this.
/ Those who claims were denied also
have the privilege of appealing their
claims, but no attorneys, briefs, or
personal argument will be permitted.
In most cases, where the claims were
because of dependent relatives, the
appeal board, under the rules will act
I largely as a review board, and will
not reopen every case.
The three members Of the board,
Sheriff Van Pelt, Dr.. W. L. Address,
and James Macgibbon, clerk of the
circuit court, assisted at times by
| Chief Deputy Sheriff Hartsfeld, and
Deputy Clerk Thomas A. Johnson,
has labored necessarily sipcethe draft
to complete the work at the earliest
possible moment. Five days were
spent in physical examinations in
which local physicians generously
I helped, the work starting at five
o'clock in the morning and continuing
until nightfall. Several days were
spent in investigating exemption
claims, and every consideration con-
sistent with the needs Of the nation
was extended.
In the following list of those called
| for service, the figures at the left
! hand side denote the order of military
liability. The numbers are the liabil
| ity numbers assigned in the draft, and
naturally those who were rejected
leave vacant places in the list. Fol-
