cording to results tabulated yester-
day after an unusually successful day
on the part OF the exemption board.
The men at hand number 125. The
billet has been obtained from draft
of $50 men, notified to appear FOR
physical examination. About one
hundred have waived exemption
while the remainder have been un-
successful in their attempts to be dis
charged.
II the board maintains its critica.
attitude as required by the govern
ment, it is probable that at least fifty
more men will be culled from the
worthy claimants of exemption. TO be
added to those liable for immediate
military activity. Considering the
rs or more who have failed to re-
port, it Is readily computed that at
least two hundred men will be
cleaned from the $50 called.
Married Men Not Exempt.
In order to procure these results,
however, II has become necessary in
the eyes of the exemption board to
deny exemption to married men, who
have no children, unless there is some
special feature to the case. This at

patches were received from the gov
ernment.

mer opinions that the entire body of
registered men would be called in or

themselves for consideration, and 1t

draft.
Two hundred and twenty are called
for today. Two hundred must come
Wednesday and the last two hundred
Thursday. The exemption board is
making an effort to keep up with the
claims filed while the examinations
are being given. An all-day session
was held Sunday to dispose Of the
excess from last week. 1t is prob
able that almost a week will be con-
sumed in the final disposition of all
exemption claims after the physical
examining has ceased.
Fifty-five Ready.
As soon as the district board is
ready to begin, several hundred find
ings OF the county board will be cer-
titled over to the higher court APP

ment will then be in order.
Thirty-nine men waived claims to
exemption yesterday and signified
themselves as ready to shoulder the

process the exemption board was

That married men without children
will be denied exemption from mill

certain yesterday when the county
