have been assisted in the work by DR..
rbomss 8. Tapley Of fremont, DR.. n. @.
u,oy;us OF Bar Harbor and DR.. N. c. King
=, Ellsworth, with two clerks.
Monday, $50 men were summoned to ap-
var for examination; Tuesday, $50, and
to.dsy 49, In the first two days Of the
srsmipations IN men were examined.
several who did not appear are already
IL the service. or have the necessary papers
tor examination elsewhere.
More than so per cent. OF those exam
iped. 10 be exact, 1854, passed the physi-
cs,e examination, bur OF these about two
thirds. or as, asked for exemption and 56
Aid no, ask for exemption. OF those re-
,ected on the physical examination, a
great majority did not meet the require
men,s as to teeth.
O, those who did not ask for exemption,
son,e will apply TO the district board for
exemption because OF occupation, while
n, tnose Tho asked for exemption some
will not obtain IL. 1t Is apparent, how
evsr. IL the same ratio is maintained in
the examination to-day, Hancock county
will not secure its quota OF 226 men from
this first call Of asa men.
THE AMERICAN secs no reason for
changing lis first estimate that 1t will be
necessary to call nearly all the first 900
men whose names were printed last week
in order to secure Hancock county's quota.
No authority for this further call has yet
been received by the local exemption
board, and the cali probably will not be
sent out until tho exemption claims are
passed upon.
The firsi number drawn, 25s, showed up
Monday In the person OF Harry Earle
Sawyer OF Yves, Brooksville. He proved
worthy the honor place be held in the list,
passing good physical examination and
showing the right spirit. He asked no
exemption, aud as ne left the room after
the examination he said: "Boys, II you
bear Of the Kaiser being shot, remember,
that's metz Mr.. Sawyer il twenty
years old, native OF Castine, now en-
ployed as farmer in West Brooksville.
he is unmarried. He is evidently made OF
the stuff that sill make the American
srmy unpopular with the Germans.
