Shawnee County Board Will
Take No Chances.
Sixty Additional Men Will Be
Ordered To Report.
MAKE SURE FULL QUOTA
Appeal Board Expected To Re-
lease Men Now on List.
New Men Will Be Given Exami-
nations First.

Altho the Shawnee county ex-
emption board has obtained from the
500 men called, more than a sufficient
number for the quota required, sixty
more men will be called for examin-
alton.
That was the statement made today
by DR.. T. C. Biddle, chairman of the
board. The call is made necessary by
the fact that the district draft board
to which all appeals from the local
board will go, has been granting ex-
emptions to about twenty five per
cent of those claiming agriculture as a
reason for exemption If that proper
ton should be carried thru the Shaw
nee county contingent the remainder
would not be sufficient to fill the
quota.
To Take No Chances.
I'VE are going to take no chances
on having a sufficient number of
men," said DIR. Biddle today. The
number actually required from the
country district of Shawnee county is
119. That many must represent the
district at the mobilization: camp. In
order to DO that the department re-
quires that we certify a total of 131
men, allowing ten per cen for failure
of men we have examined, to pass the
rigid medical examination 10 be given
W
1874 men we now have to pass muster
at the mobilization camp, allowing
nothing for exemptions the district
board may grant. Our observation
has been that the district board has
been exempting about one-fourth of
/ those who appeal. Most If the mar
ried men we have accepted for serv-
ice after they had claime1 exemption
will probably appeal. In that event
we must have fifteen or twenty more
men to certify and we a~e going to
call sixty men. They will be exam
ined beginning probably next Tues
day
Examine Men First.
] The sixty men will first be exam
ined physically and given an oppor-
tunity to claim exemption if they pass.
Probably about forty of the sixty will
pass the physical examination. Fol-
| lowing the rule to date. perhap thirty
of the forty will be married men and
will claim exemption. Following the
rule farther the local board will prob
ably exempt about ten of those claim
ing exemption, leaving about twenty
men available for service.
When the local board made its first
, call it was for 800 men-the first 500
men drafted. On the call for the adj
I ditional sixty the board will begin
where it left off. If that is done and
no error has been made in the compil-
alton of the original list the men
called for next Tuesday will be as fol-
