didn't waste any time filling its quota
for the first national army according
to the county sheriff, S. l.. Marstiller,
who visited Sheriff Glen Carr Sunday.
Sheriff Marstiller, came here to ar
rest T H. Sale, who had been living
at Centerville, and return him to Elk
ins, West Virginia on a charge of en-
bezzlement Sale is a native of Elkins.
Randolph county's quota was 247
men. Many of the men selected filed
claims for exemption on the grounds Of
dependents.
"But I'll tell you, sab, we didn't
waste any time about certifying the
first men who passed the physical ex-
aminations," the tall Virginian said.
"The first 247 who passed. whether
they filed exemption claims or not
were certified to the district board,
sab"
Thus the Virginia officials passed
the buck to the district board.
Sheriff Carr said he didn't believe
the same procedure would be gone
through here.

CAMBRIDGE TIGHTENS
ON EXEMPTION PLEAS

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Aug. 10
The second district exemption board is
Tightening up.
Almost 100 applications for exempt.
ion were considered and decided Satur.
day. New instructions were received
Monday morning, warning the board
against being too lax, and they spent
all day Monday re-considering Satur-
days list.
Consideration of the affidavits in each
case was the only thing done by the
board, no one yet being asked to ap-
pear in person to plead his case
A few of the men were granted
exemption, few other denied it en-
tirely, and many were askd to appear
as result of Saturdays work, but tho
new instructions changed matters, and
now no exemptions are being granted
except temporary ones.
No results will be made definite
enough to send to the district board
until Tuesday, Chairman H C. Miller
said Monday.

Defer ACTION ON

Whether Richmond will be the

Portland Cement company will be de
cided by the directors of the company
The proposition Richmond has offer
ed the company, details of which have
not been given out, was given to the
Representatives of the company in
Richmond at joint meeting of the
directors of the Industrial Develop.
ment company, the trustees of this
company, and the New Industries
committee of the club, Monday noon.
1--WE aren't ready to give anything
definite yet said Adam Beck. presi
dent of the cement company, after the
meeting, "and it will be several days
before anything is settled" he added
/. No definite 5me had been set for a
rate meeting with the Pennsylvania
officials, Beck said, nor had a site for
the plant been determined upon. The
company probably will build its own
tracks, to bring the raw material from
the quarry to the plant.
The directors of the cement COM
pany will meet in a few days, to con-
slider the Richmond offer, and nothing
definite will be known before then, ac-
cording to Beck.

Three more Richmond men were
certified to the district selective army
board by the Richmond board Monday
bringing the total number OF men fol

1t is not known whether any Of these
will file claims for exemption before
the district board, but it is believed
that some will. The men passed exam

not claim exemption before the Rich

Those certified were Jesse Grant

The board is undecided still, how
ever, on the mode of procedure in
granting discharges or exemptions

Exemption claims will probably be
taken up the latter part of this week
or the first of next week. Men who
have filed claims for exemption have
until next Monday to file their affi-
davits supporting their claims.
No call for additional men will be
made until the board decides on the
cases of every men in the first call,
who have already been examined by
the board for physical requirements.
1t is believed by board members that
it will be necessary to call at least 800
more men for examination before Rich

This will not be definitely decided,
however until all exemption claims
are taken up.

Thewar, so far as the European ma

It, in Germany is regarded as a thing
ever and done with. Germany believes
that she has, in the, three years strug

herself against any possible combina-
ton of European enemies. Her soil
is free except for a few square kilO-
meters, while her own armies ocupy
immense tracts in France, Russia, Ser

she still confidently expects to receive

'0UAKERS WILL NOT
BE EXEMPT FROM
MILITARY SERVICE
Religious Directors Will Be
Assigned to Non-Combat-
ant Duties.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-Religious
directors are assigned definite place
in the national army for the first time
in ruling made public today by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder They
will be sent to the mobilization camps
for duties which the President may
designate as non-combatant. The rul-
ing says they will be drafted, for
warded to a mobilization camp and
will make up a part of the quota from
the state and district from whence
they come and will be assigned to duty
in capacity declared by the Presi-
dent to be non-combatant."
The regulation referring to them
reads:
"Any person who is found by local
board to be member Of any well rec
ogniZed sect or organization organized
and existing May IS, 1917, and whose
then existing creed or principles for
bid its members to participate in war
in any form and whose religious con-
victions are against war or participa-
ton therein in accordance with the
creed or principles of the said relig-
ious organizations"
Duties Not Announced.
The duties which may be allotted to
these men have not been made
known. There are numerous army Or
ganizations, however, such as the hos
pital corps, quartermaster corps
known as non-combatant troops in
army organization. There will be in
addition many labor battalions, mes
sengers, motor drivers, clerks and the
like who will have no active part in
the fighting, although they will be as
much exposed to shell fire in bring
ing supplies up to the line and taking
back as are the active regi-
ments. Presumably objectors will be
placed in these units where their
work will be to save life, not to take it.
