Boards Have Difficulties.

Information concerning the results
OF the examinations and the action on
claims is difficult to obtain from many
of the boards. Many of them are strug-
Cling along with one clerk and trying
to develop some system as they go.
Other boards have the information at
their fingers ends and can tell the
status of a man on a moments notice.
The board in district No. 2, head
quarters at the Dunbar High School
has completed its examination of its
first draft men, N. Landon BurcheIl
board now was checking up its work
to see just how many men 1t had OBJ
tanned. When this checking up process
Is complete. Mr.. Burchell said. the board
then will determine how many add.
tional men 1t will summon to complete
its quota.
The board in district No. 3, after ex.
aiming men all day tomorrow, will
work tomorrow night on the cases OF
those men who have been early in filing
their afiidavits with a view to dispos-
ing of the cases as quickly as possible
After examining the $50 men which
1t has summoned for tomorrow, Tues
day and Wednesday. the hoard at dis
trict No IL. headquarters at the East
ern High School, will not summon any
more until it has determined actually
how many men 1t has obtained from
those already examined. 1t will pass
on all claims for exemption before
calling for more men. according to
Adolphus GUIDE. chairman of the
board.
This board yesterday examined
forty-one men. passed nine who filed
no exemption claims. received twenty
claims for examination and rejected
twelve because they did not come up
to the physical requirements.

|ONLY 451 OF D. c.
QUOTA OBTAINED
First Week of Examinations
With Less Than Halt
of Men Selected.
TWO DENIED EXEMPTION

Less than so per cent of the Dis
trict's quota of s2S men for the Ma
tional Army were obtained during the
first week Of examinations.
Figures available after the close of
business by the exemption boards last
night showed only 451 men who had
been found physically fit and had not
filed exemption claims.
This figure may even be reduced. A
man has two days following his ap-
pearance before the local board in
which to file his claim for exemption.
Others who did not file claims with the
local board may file their claims with
the District board. This board has
original jurisdiction in industrial
claims. and. therefore. men cannot file
these claims with the District board.
These men. also. were obtained from
boards were required to summon in
their first call. Figures available last
night showed that 1858 men had been
actually examined. but aliens, both
enemy and neutral. did not have to be
examined although they had to file
their claims with the boards.
The figures do not include men in
for examination. and who, under the
regulations. must be certified to the
District board as available for service
Several of the boards are making in
Quiry into such cases before certifying
them to the istrict boards.
Out of the 1858 men who were act
ually examined by the physicians of
for physical reasons and S36 filed
claims for exemption. Many of these
claims will be approved, but some of
them, of course, will be rejected.

First Claims Rejected.

The board covering district No. g.
City Postmaster Merritt o. Chance
chairman. is the first known to have
rejected the claims of men for exemp-
ton. They were claims on account OF
employment.
One claim was that of Philip E.
Gowan. 1896 F street northwest, a
chemist in the bureau of chemistry of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The acting chief Of the bureau
Of chemistry filed an affidavit support
ing the claim Of the man. reciting that
he had been engaged for several years
on important work of the department.
and that his services would be more
valuable to the government in that
capacity.
In view of the fact that the claim was
not supported by an affidavit from the
Secretary Of Agriculture. the claim was
for service. An appeal can be made
to the District appeal board.
The other claim was that OF police
man. Odessa Stanford Hunt, 2153 K
street northwest He made a claim for
exemption on the ground that he was
a policeman. and the claim was re-
5ected- He can appeal.
While many of the boards will con-
tfnue to pass on the cases of men who
have been early in filing their claim 8
and the supporting afidavits. they will
have to work between times. as most
of them have called additional men for
examination and will begin tomorrow
to examine these men in an effort to
obtain their respective quotas.
A man, under the regulations, has
seventeen days. Sundays excluded, to
complete his case before the local board
and the board has three days in which
to give decision. q total of twenty
days to close case should the man
take the full time allowed him and the
board the full three days allowed it.
1t thus will be seen that 1t will be
more than another week before final
action may be taken on some of the
cases. as many Of the men are not
showing any disposition to hurry their
affidavits. Men who get in their claims
and affidavits early may know quickly
how the board will treat their cases,
as where they come in a few at a time
the boards may act on them between
examinations
