long hours each day as human en-
durance will permit, and that it will
be great tax upos the individual
members of this board to be subject
ed to repeated interviews and efforts
to seek opinions and information. It
will be much easier and more satis-
factory, both to the board and indi-
viduals, for all inquiries and applica-
tions to be written and mailed to
the board. AS a matter of course,
this board can furnish but little in
formation other than that contained
in the various documents in thehands
of the local boards, and which have
been otherwise widely distributed, to-
gether with the rulings of the Presi-
vost marshal.genera& which are
mailed through the local boards and
published in the press, all Of which
should be carefully read by those
interested in the draft law. How
ever, as before stated, this board will
gladly honor all proper inquiries in
so far as possible. Furthermore, it
will be the policy of this board to is
sue statements from time to time
for the purpose of giving the public
the benefit Of such additional infor-
nation of general interest as this

THEY MISS THE EDITOR

The editor of the Prison Mirror,
published in the penitentiary of Min:
nesota, says:
Why is it that from the first incep-
tion of our paper up to the present
time We have never had an editor to
sojourn in our midst? Other profess
sions have been well represented. OF
preachers we have had enough to fur
nish subsistence to an African chief
for a year; of doctors, sufficient in
number to depopulate state; Of law
yers, enough to establish good size
colony in Hades. But of editors
not one.

DISTRICT EXEMPTION BOARD
MAKES STATEMENT

The Middle Tennessee district ex-
emption board today authorized the
following statement to be public:
I'm view of the numerous inquiries
being made and the apparent lack of
information along the lines indicated
the district board for the Middle dis
trict of the State of Tennessee issues
the following statement for the infor-
maion of the public:
IF the registrant desires to appeal
from a final decision of local board,
either upon the question of physical
qualifications, dependencies, or on
other grounds, he should procure from
the local board Form 153 or 154 for
filing his claim of appeal, then fill
out and sign said claim and file with
the local board Then he should pro-
cure Form 151 or 152 for notifying
the district board of his appeal, and
likewist fill out and sign said notice
of appeal and forward same to the
district board. If the local board
should be out of said forms same may
be copied from pages 151, 154, or
Form 100, same being book pre-
pared by the provost-marshal general
containing forms of use in cOnnec-
tion with the administration of the
draft law, and which books are in
the hands of all local boards. All of
this must be done within ten days
from the day when notice that regis
trant's name was certified to the
district board, was posted and mailed.
He then has FIVE days after the
district board receives his notice that
he has filed claim of appeal, in
which to file evidence additional to
that filed by him in the local board,
but all such evidence must consist of
affidavits.
However, with respect to appeal
ing from a decision by local board
upon the question Of physical fit-
ness, attention is called to the fact
that before the registrant is finally
accepted for military service he is
subjected to rigid examination by
an army surgeon who is the final ar
bitter upon the question of physical
fitness. Regardless of the decision of
the local board and the district board
upon the questions of physical fit
ness, the army surgeon will discharge
the registrant, If, upon examination
by him, the registrant does not
come up to the requirements; and,
on the other hand, if the registrant
is found to be physically qualified, he
will be held for service, provided he
has been otherwise certified for SER
vice. Consequently it is largely a
waste of time and energy for the
to appeal his case to the
district board upon the question of
physical qualifications. If either the
local board or the district board. or
both, should hold that the registrant |
is fit for military service he will still |
be discharged by the army surgeon |
If he did not find him physically |
qualified; and this would be SO even
though the registrant did not claim
or appeal from an adverse
decision by local board
"If registrant desires to claim
exemption upon the ground that he
zones within the provisions Of the
,ct of congress authorizing the ex-
smption of persons engaged in in

EXEMPTION APPEALS

/. In all cases where an appeal from
the local board to the district board
in claims for exemption from militia
ry service under the draft law is
made the one claiming exemption
does not have to appear in person be-
fore the district board. The papers
in his case are sent and that is all
that is necessary or that can be done

NIGHT MAIL STOPPED

The postal authorities have seen
fit to stop the mails on the night
trains on the Tennessee Central and
took off mail clerks. This action is
resented by patrons all along the
line. The receivers announce that
they will take off the trains unless
the mail is restored. Efforts are be-
ing made to have the department
put the NAL service back, on the
grounds that it is business neces-
sity for a large section.

NEW COACH FOR T. p. !.

Tennessee Tech" has been very
fortunate in securing the services of
Mr.. r. v. Kerr, B. A., University of
Tennessee, as Director of Athletics
this year. Mr.. Kerr was selected on
the all southern foot ball team in
1914, and has made a splendid record
at the University in his school work
as well as in Athletics. Games are
being scheduled with the leading
schools of the state, and "Tech"
should develop a team this year that
should make the sporting world sit
up and take notice.

SCRAPS OF
Verse and Prose
OUR SOLDIER BOYS
BY CLARA COX EPPERsoN


They are coming home, and with
honors, every one of them. Failures
Nay, not one of them! Through
the long summer, days of heat they
have toiled, regardless of the sun and
the storms and the rain, wet to. the
skin with rain, or with the perspira-
ton of trench digging and long mar
ching, still with smile on their faces
and hope in their hearts. nor have
they fallen by the wayside in defeat,
not a one of them. Upheld by the
pride and courage inherited from
brave, patriotic ancestors, they have
borne the hardships in the heat of
the day, and the studies in the hours
of the night, training both mind and
body for the strenuous duties of war
fare, in order to protect our homes
and our country, and encouraged by
the hope. of the reward awaiting them
at the goal-the commission of officer
ship, at the end of the three months
hard service, and they have been re-
warded by commissions, every one
OF them, and Putnam county should
be very proud of the fact that one
major, one captain and nine second
lieutenants can she boast of from
one summers training, and if there
is Stacker in man or woman in the
county may shame be upon them
when they face these brave boys who
have proven true blue and the right
stuff all the way through.
Following is the list Of Putnam
County officers:
Major Clarence H. Fitzgerald, Monte
rey, Tenn.
Captain James T. Quarles, Cooke
vile. Officers Reserve Corps. (Capt.
Quarles will go Immediately to Har-
ward, near Boston, for trench war
fare training.)
Second Lieut. Sam Cole, Cooke
vile, Coast Artillery, Fortress Mon
roe, Va.
Second Lieut.. David Lansden,
Cookeville, Field Artillery, Officers
Reserve Corps. (Will go to France.)
Second Lieut.. Jere B. Barnes,
Cookeville. Cavalry Section Officers
Reserve Corps, 53rd Infantry, Co
lumbia, s. c.
Second Lieut.. Donald Russell,
Cookeville, Royal Flying School. To
ronto, Canada, Aviation Corps.
Second Lieut.. Charles Craig. Cooke
vile, Regular Army, Sind Infantry,
Oglethorpe
Second Lieut.. William Craig, Cooke
vile, Regular Army, 52nd Infantry,
Oglethorpe.
Second Lieut.. Sam R. Epperson,
Algood, Regular Army. 54th Infantry,
Oglethorpe.
Second Lieut.. Harvey E. Ragland,
Cookeville. Regular Army, Field Ar
tillery
Second Lieut.. Grover Boyd, Cooke
vile, Of Ft. Myer Training School.
One major, one captain, and nine
lieutenants. Take off your hats to
them-give them salute and a warm
welcome, and God-speed and bless
ing when they go again, for they go
to face danger, perhaps death, for our
safety, our freedom and our peace.
If you're proud of our dear boys,
then show it,
Do not let them 60 away.
and not know 1t;
They need all your prayers and love,
That they may of courage prove,
If you do feel proud of them,
pray let them know it.
