Inmates of the Jail, workhouse and

the list CT registrants still to be ex-
amined by the exemption board of the
fifth district. Despite the absence of
appropriation for expenses the mem
beers of the board propose to make the
examinations on the ground. An auto
mobile owned by one of them will be
called into service to carry the board
and physicians to the various places.
There are not many slackers in this
division. The whereabouts of most of
those men who have failed to appear
for examination is known. and the
itinerary of the board to the various
penal institutions explains much of the
delinquency. There are one or two
others, however.

Work of the Local Exemption
Boards Practically Is
Concluded.
PICKING THOSE SOON TO GO

The eleven local exemption boards
have practically completed their work of
selecting the first draft men. Most of the
pending cases have been acted upon, and
only few more cases remain on the
docket of each board. The men are be-
ing certified to the District board as
rapidly as possible, and appeals noted on
behalf of the government in all cases of
exemption claims approved.
The boards are certifying names in large
enough numbers so that there will be
enough to fill the required quotas, after
the men who failed to appear for examina-
ton are eliminated and allowance made
for cases of exemption approved by the
District board, and for men who are likely
to be rejected at the cantonments on ac-
count of not coming up to the Army's rigid
physical requirements. This will account.

One of the men who applied for ex-
yesterday was a negro, quite
"piffied" and unwashed. The physician
who made the examination found fault
