matter which has not been decided
Stacking" during wartime is regard
ed as very serious offense and merits
strong punishment However, 1t is
probable that the extent of the pun
ishment will be that the men arrested
Will not be allowed to file any claims
of exemption and if found fit will be
sent along to the training camps.
Another Call
Late Friday evening the Steelton
board completed the examination OF
the last of the 917 men called. They
Will not hold any more examinations
for several days. During that time
the board will act upon the many eN-
emption claims that were made and
will prepare a report for the appeal
board. As the necessary quota from
District No. l is 299 it is very proba-
bic that another call will be issued.
So far only twenty-seven men have
been certified, this being n sufficient
number to warrant full quota being
sent away with the first contingent.
Chief Clerk of the Appeal Board
Robert r. Free has received reports
from nearly all the local boards in
the district. He has been busy for
the past few days preparing these in
order for the meeting of the board.
which will be held Tuesday. The
first thing that the board will take
up at the meeting will be the claims
for exemption on the grounds agricul-
ture. industrial and appeals from the
decisions of the local boards. There
are a large number of these and it
will take some time for the board
to act upon all. 1t Is hoped that they
will be finished by Tuesday afternoon.
The rendering of the decision of the
board on these claims will be awaited
with much interest and will do con-
siderable toward determining whether
or not a full quota is to be sent from
this district on September 5. Nearly
all the local boards have certified
sufficient number of names. So far
in Dauphin county there have been
thirty-five names certified by the
boards at PaXtang and Steelton.

At Paxtang this morning the head
quarters at the schoolhouse were for
mally closed. All the material used
during the examinations was moved

acting upon exemption claims anu
