thousands of Teutons who swamped

severance of diplomatic relations with

of the Presidents proclamation last
Friday. on an application fled by
Jonas Meyer, a merchant, Of No. 222

After voting in this city for thirty
three years and sitting upon JuriHs,
Mr.. Meyer had discovered that he was
not an American citizen. but a subject

edSthat his father. who had brought
him here when he was only four years
OF age, and who he had always thought

papers. Mr.. Meyer at once made q
formal declaration of intention, and
when the two years which the law
says must elapse had passed he filed
an application for citizenship. This
was last January. and he was inform
ed that the statutory ninety days mus
also run before his application could
be heard in court. At the end Of thai

OBJECTS TO PHYSICIAN
WHO MADE DETERMINATIONS
Action Of the County Attorney May Re
suit In Sweeping Changes in
Latah County Draft

Frank L. Moore, the prosecuting at
tolney, has appealed in the case OF
every Latah county man examined for
military service who was rejected on
physical grounds. His main contention
in taking this appeal is that the Latah
county exemption board erred in the
appointment of a physician to make the
re-examination. This denomination
was made in each case by DR.. D. F..
Rae, appointed by the local board At
torney Moore contends that this re-
examining physician should have been
designated by Governor Alexander and
on this contention he appeals the So
cases affected by the re-examination.
This includes every man turned down
as physically unfit. DR.. Rae gave his
services free and in good faith. He
feels that this action of the county at
torney is based on personal grounds
and grows out of spirit of spite. The
members of the local board hold that
he point raised by. Attorney Moore is
purely technical and should have no
weight
