The local exemption board also
posted list of those persons who
have failed to respond to the summons
to appear for examination as pre-
scribed by law, and while the word

nection with the list, the names OF
these 67 men have been placed In the
hands of agents of the department OF

these representatives of the law be-
fore the proper authorities to show
reason why they should not be held

In. Tulsa's quota will be increased
from 11s to 1856 by the addition of the
81 "slackers'' This will leave but "a
additional men for Tulsa to secure to
have the full quota of 279 men. 1t is
probable, however. that the lis who
have been certified up to the eXemp-
tion board as not claiming exemptions
before the lower board, some will
make claims for exemption or dis

grounds before the appellate board.
These cases will be limited. however
and it is probable, officials declare,
that at least one hundred of the men
on the honor roll" will report ready
for service This number. with the Ga
who have not as yet reported, and
those who will have their claims for
exemption disallowed, either by the
local or district board. will bring the
number up above the two hundred
mark. The remainder will necessar-

which will be issued by the Local
board, probably some time next week.
Defer second Call.
Mayor John H. Simmons declared
yesterday that the second call to fill
Tulsa's quota would not be issued
within the next few days.
1T will be impossible for US to issue
the second call for several days at
least" the chairman Of the board an
nounced.
I'VE will only issue call to secure
the men we need TO fill out the quota.
At this time we do not know how

the disposition of appeal cases taken
to the district board, we will not know
how many more men we need Tulsa S
