Exemptions Which Are Question
ed Will Be Taken to Dis.
trict Boards
The first OF a series of examinations
which are to furnish Burleigh county's
quota of 80 men for the national army
will begin at 8 O'Clock tomorrow
morning, at which hour the initial
class OF 67 registrants whose names
were first in the order drawn have
been directed to- report. Thursday q
second class OF 66 will report, and
Friday a third class of the same
NUMBER the names embodied in the
first call being 200. 1t is not antici-
pated that the first call will fill Bur.
leigh county's quota, and on the ex.
perience gained through these three
days examinations, the board will
equal a second call for sufficient men
to fill Eurleighs quota to 40 per cent.
A ten per cent excess in the number
OF candidates approved by the local
board is allowed to provide for ex-
emptiOns granted on cases appealed to
the district board and for reflections
made at the mobilization camp. Thus,
although Burleigh county's net quota
has been reduced from 2O9 men to 80,
the local exemption board will draw
80 men before it ceases its labor in
connection with the first draft.
The County Board.
The Burleigh county exemption
board consists of Sheriff John P.
French, Auditor IT, E. Flaherty and
County Physician c. C. Stackhouse.
DR.. Stackh0use will make all physical
examinations. Dependency and physi-
cal disability are the only claims for
exemption or discharge which can be
considered by the local board Claims
for exemptions on industrial or agri-
cultural grounds must be filed with
the district board, after the registrant
has been passed by the local board
and found physically fit for service
by DR.. Stackhouse.
If a man is found clearly physically
unfit, that ends the question of SER
vice in the national army. es iExenlp.
tions or discharge on any other
grounds, however, may be appealed
from the local board to the district
board in much the same manner as a
registrant may appeal from a decision
OF the local board declining to grant
him exemption or discharge. Appeals
from exemptions granted by the local
board which may be questioned for
any reason will be carried to the dis
trict board from this county by States
Attorney F. E. McCurdy.
In every county in the state Cover
nor Frazier last evening through au-
thority from Provost Marshal Crow
der designated either the county
Judge or states attorney to take ap.
peals on behalf of the government to
the district board from exemptions or
discharges which may seem in the
judgment of these officials advisable.
In announcing his appointments,
Governor Frazier says: THE gov.
ernment wants every registered man
to get square deal, and claims for
exemption are honestly made and
fairly considered, and If, in your opin-
ion there should be an appeal taken
for any reason TO the district board
from the decision of the local board,
you are to make that appeal"
