CONSIDER MEMS FATE
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
Only Affivadits viii Be Con-
sidered in Appeal Cases Be-
fore District Board.

Behind closed doors members of the
local city exemption board yesterday
considered the claims for exemption
winch have been presented by a ma
1ority OF the yourg men who were
examined I'm the first draft. Mayor
simmons announced shortly after the
lunch hour that he would take his
board and go into executive session
and after an S. O. s. call had been
sent out for an expert bookkeeper TO
handle the mass of data which has
been collected by the board, the
mayor, Secretary j. Kenton and Or. s.
DcZell Hawley entered their prl-
vate chambers and surveyed every
claim for exemption which has been
presented to them.
Investigation Rigid.
All claims are being arranged In
such manner that an easy way of
summoning the applicant and the per-
son making the supporting claim may
be readily cited TO appear, and 1t was
announced that every exemption
claim would be investigated before n
decision was reached upon II.
We are confident that n second
call Will be necessary in the city OF
Tulsa for us to secure our full quota, ,"
declared the mayor, but we are not
permitted TO make second call until
we have exhausted the first call and
secured every soldier possible"
This will necessitate wait of sew
eral weeks perhaps, as the number
OF men TO be secured from the first
calls roster will not be known until
the district exemption board has acted
upon all of the appeal cases which are
to be presented there.
In the office of the district exemp-
ton board yesterday there was n
scene OF intense activity. Several of
the local exemption boards in the 2I
counties embraced in the Second dis
trict have sent in the names Of the

GERMAN OCCUPATION COSTS
BELGIUM 2 BILLION TO DATE
Indirect Losses Thru Stoppagc OF
Commerce Cannot Be Esti-
mated In Money.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-German occu-
patton of Belgium thus tar has cost in
money wrung from the impoverished
in the way of so-called war contribu-
lions" and in property destruction
more than $1,000. 100000, according to
compilation made by the American
committee OF engineers here.
In addition to this the Belgian gov
ernment and the charitable world
have contributed upwards OF $3.50
100000 to feed the Belgian popula-
ton during the three years of the war
"a charge, the committe asserts,
which rightly should have fallen
upon the invader"
The indirect loss to Belgium by the
German occupation, thru stoppage of
industry and commerce, cannot be es-
timated in money, the committee adds.
while no figures exist for the sys-
tematic looting of machinery from
factories, the constant requisition of
goods Of all kinds frequently against
payment of none or little value, and
the wholesale destruction of forests.
they certainly bring the total damage
