DRAF TED MAN, WHO
WENT WEST, HAS TO
PASS UP HIS EXAM.
Clifford Chance, No. Is, Will
Be Certified; News
OF Board

Clifford w. Chance who resides
near Gambler and who was drawn
twenty-fifth in the draft, has gone to
Bisbee, Arizona, and will, according
ly, be certified by the local board to
the district board, as If he had passed
the physical examination. 1t is under
stood, however, that some of Mr.
Chances relatives are preparing
claims of exemption for him. Mr..
Chance might, at some later time,
the board believes, take the physical
examination.
This is sample of the daily prob
lens which arise in the course of the
work of the local exemption board
Chairman Ewalt and Clerk Devin are
devoting much of their time in read
ing the selective draft law and digest
ing its provisions.
August is the time limit for filing
claims of exemption on account of oc-
cupatiOns with the local board Blanks
for this purpose may be secured at
the office of Clerk Devin, Struble
building.
The county commissioners have
consented to allow the draft board to
use the court room, and the adjoining
small rooms, for the physical exam
nations, which will start next Mon
doy morning. All men, who have
been notified to appear, however, are
to meet first at the office of Clerk
Devin.

Right here | can mention something
which will give you an idea why dc

During the first gas attack the Cana
dams, choking to death and falling
over each other in fight against n
new and unheard of terror in warfare,
found way-the Lord only knows
who first discovered it and how he
happened to do ito stay through a
gas cloud and come out alive. 1t isn't
pretty to think of, and it's like many
other things in this war which you
can't even tell of in print, because the
simple description would violate the
nice ethics about reading matter for
the public eye which have grown up in
long years of peace and traditional de-
cency. But this thing which you can't
describe meant just the difference be-
tween life and death to many of the
Canadians that first day Of the gas.
