work on Monday, the exemption
board examined 10 men, all that
appeared. Three, j. o. Sirvio, Nick
Cicvich and Modesto Jiminez, failed
to appear. Thomas CYonin, Jonn
Clingan and r. S. Lewis will ne
examined elsewhere and j.. NJ.
Stackpoole is in the army. Gin,
gan is the man who sone months
& had his neck broken in a mine
accident and he is now in a San
Francisco hospital.
Three, w. j. Henley, j. d. Cleary
and A. C. Dickel, were discharged
for physical disability. Henley sus-
tanned an injury to his spine many
months ago, which still necessitates
his wearing a supporting cast.
Twelve exemption claims were
filed, and in accordance with a
late ruling of Provost Marshal-Gen-
eral Crowder, that all such claims.
with the reasons therefore. should
be given publicity, the exemption
board has furnished the followins
list of claims for exemption made
yesterday:

M. Everett, married; Emil Perolaz,
dependent; Fred Dahl, alien. VII.
liam M. Sara, married; Francis A.
Elliott, married; Jalmari Sunnari,
alien; John M. Kayppila, alien; Hec-
tor A. McQuarrie, married, William
j. Slinkard, married; Odysseus Pal
Edward Scratching, a colored boy
who headed the list is the only one
of it's kind thus far filed. He filed
none himself, but his mother filed
a claim as a widow whose son ic
her sole support.
Four, Raymond T. Chapman. Der.
nard d. Gaffney, Earl M. Hughes
and Emil Perolaz, filed no exemp
ton claims.
This disposes as far as possible
at the present time of the first &c
called before the exemption board.
1t may be read in newspapers
published in various parts of the
country that exemption after en-
emption is granted because of ply
steal disability and this has led
some papers to conclude that Amer
lean manhood is not worthy the
name, but these writer's never saw
some of the truly remarkable specl-
mems hat appear before the local
board.
Accustomed to examining miners,
who are almost always in fine ply
steal trim, DR.. Mccarthy has yes
terday and today seen men who
have caused him to stand away and
admire them. At first when we'll
developed men appeared it was
thought that the board vas mere
and that the fine physiques would
not continue. but they have con-
tinued to appear throughout two
days.
Today the situation Frightened
and of IA men who were examined
to 2 o'clock only six were physical
ly disqualified or filed exemption
claims. The men examined were
Royal H. Jarman, who was exempt
ed because of poor sight; Roy
White, no claim filed; John Felix
Koski, who claimed exemption be-

Gonzales, a Mexican who was ex~
empted because he was a mere sha-
dow; Milo Fattich and Marion Rus

Person, who claimed exemption be-
cause of being married; Lester j.
Ball, George Davy Connolly, Mer-
rift H. Brady, Olaf Olsen, the last
an alien who claimed exemption for
that reason: R. j. Bum, George E.

Guy w. Roberts, who claimed ex-

go touring in foreign lands at I'm
Gle Sans expense. He a many
things wrong with him, in fact he
was a physical wreck, but only In
his imagination. and DR.. Mccarthy
sought to convince him, as well as
he could, that it would be many
moon before flowers would grow
over him.
When the physician started to
examine him the candidate had bad
eyes. Then he had a bad nose, and
finally a bad back. Despite the
many ailments DR.. Mccarthy decid-
ed he would do to fight Germans.
He then dressed and poked his
head through the doorway into the
room where Deputy Sheriff Box
keeps the exemption affidavits. He
said he wanted to file an exemp-
