OVER HALF ARE AFTER XE:MP|T0N

The medical corps under direction of Dr. A. B. Nichols of the local draft board examined POS men yesterday. Of this number IT passed and S8 failed The per centage to pass was 57 and 43 per cent failed.
 These figures show that the men examined yesterday were below the average of those examined Wednesday, the first day of the examination, when ef per cent passed, a difference Of four per cent over yesterdays quota Of the TIP men ordered to appear 432 are yet to be examined In addi- tion to this there will be several hun dred more called by the sheriff from the 4.342 who hold citizenship drafted from this county, before 59S men are found to fill the quota to be turned over to the government for military service from this county.
 Dr. Nichols said last night that in the examinations yesterday the out standing feature was flatfoot, heart lesions and defective eyes. Rejections were made largely upon these, he said Several cases of trachoma were dis covered among white applicants and one among the Mexican applicants.
  m tking the examinations yesterday than on the first day. due to system Dr Nichols and his corps of physicians began the work at o'clock and con- tinued until in the afternoon.
 They adopted a rule of having ten men ready at once. While one group of ten were being examined another ten was stripping and getting ready to be called before the line of physicians. | The second floor of the court house, with the exception of the county clerks office was given over to the work. A curtain was strung across the corridor from the judges chambers to Judge Stanford's court room. The applicants entered when called with regularity and no time was lost in making the shift from one group of ten to an- other.
 Long before 9 o'clock men called by the sheriff began to arrive at the court house. All day long there was a crowd in front of the county build ing. Beside those called there were on hand many relatives of the young men. including wives. sisters and mothers
 The wait from the time of arrival until called was a long one for those
  in the day, but patience and good humor prevailed among the men. Jokes were legion and a spirit of general good cheer prevailed, the wags among the men keeping a constant stream of humor on tap.
 The women who waited about the court house for the most part were silent witnesses of what was going on and remained with their men folks until they went into the court house for examination and then waited until they returned to them.
 Claims of exemption or discharge from military service were made by over 130 drafted men after being ex- amined by the physicians. This is almost half of the $40 already ex- amined. Most of the claims for dis charge from military service are based on the ground that the claimants are married and have dependents Ex- empton was sought yesterday by one German alien, about ten non- German aliens and by one preacher Several claimed discharge on the ground ot being in government service. Here IS a complete list of the claimants:
 Roy Maginneson, married. depend- ents
 Harry Thompson, married, depend ents.
 William H. Hobbs, married, depend ents.
