cards. which refers to exemption from
draft. "Do you claim exemption from
draft?" is asked. The following ex-
PLANTATION is then set forth:

draft, it by no means follows that you
are exempt. For the information of

count of their occupations or offices.

have relatives dependent upon them for

things will be important in supporting
the claim you now intend to make in
your answer to- the present questions.
Be sure, therefore, that the grounds
you now state are in conformity with
your actual situation. In stating
