faster and more effective work than

first day OF the second levy. II was
impossible TO obtain any definite IN
formation from the members Of the
boards, concerning the exact number
Of men examined. who passed, who
we're turned down and how many had
filed exemption claims.
An Approximate estimate OF tho
work, which occupied the morning
was furnished by some OF the clerks
and stenographers OF the boards but
these figures we're not entirely accur'
ate.
Il was said that Board No. 1 had
examined about Rlxty men, approx
mately eighteen OF the morning levy
men having failed to report OF those
examined about thlrty.eight passed
the physical examination and a slight
ly smaller percentage than hereto
fore filed exemption claims.
No figures whatever were Available
AZ the headquarters OF Board No. ?
but fairly accurate estimate was
obtained from Board No. 3. II was an
nounced that up to II O'Clock this
morning, fortysix men had been ex
amined.
/ Al the office OF Board No. 4. it wal
estimated that mp until noon. only 30
men had been examined. and that o.
these about 10 had been rejected al
physically unfit to bear arms.

from the decisions OF the local board
but how many OF these had been Gel
