Chairman Prichard, of the Eastern
District Exemption Board, has sent
out notes of warming to drafted men,
that it is a waste of time for them,
or for their relatives, to appear in
person before the Board, to press
their claims for exemption. He
states that it will be waste of time
for the applicant, as while the Board
is ready and willing at any time to
give out all the information it pos
sibly can, as prescribed by the regula-
tions, no pleas can be considered ex
cept through the legal channels
He seeking information will be given
every consideration, but they will be
saving time for themselves and the
Board by getting all the dope" they
can from the local Board.
All men claiming exemption which
was denied by their local Board have
ten days to send in their affidavits to
the District Board, and until this
! time is up there is no possible chance
for the Board to certify these men
to the Adjutan-General. If man
was certified to his home Board
August IA, his case cannot be taken
up by the District Board until Au-
gust "a, and so no. Owing to the
fact that the cases are being consid-
cred individually instead of by towns
OF counties, and men are still being
certified by the local Board there
will be little chance to get at the
greater portion of them for many
long days yet OF those claiming ex
emption the occupational claims will
undoubtedly take up the larger part
of the Boards time. Most of these
claims are on the ground of being
agricultural producers whose crop:
are essential to the National wei
fare.
