Fifty-Five Qualify as Result of First Call and
Small Percentage Makes Second Series
of Examinations Necessary
StvENTYFAE LIABLE TO PUNISHMENT FOR NON.APPEARANcE
Many Aliens Exempted Dependency Favorite Claim of
Others Seeking to Dodge Military Service

Out of the first 300 men called for
the seleetive draft, 55 have been
chosen who are physically qualified
and who mp to date have not filed
! claims for exemption or discharge.
! The time for filing all claims has
lot yet passed but II is considered
that few or any more will ask to be
relieved from this patriotic duty.
| Upon figures so far it appears that
Just 20 per cent of the men called
will be available for service, 10
tailed to appear when called and
these are of course in danger OF
punishmtnt Under the law they
are liable to punishment by i'm
prisonment or by being drawn with
out further notice and Immediately
sent to the front. These slaekers
will be Immediately rounded up by
the officers who are determined that
no man shall escape who has not
a valid excuse TO offer.
District Attorney Geo A. White
ley has been designated under au-
| thority and in the name of the
j provost marshal general to take ap-
peals 10 the district board in cases
! where exemption has been claimed
4 and allowed by the local board II IL
l. believed that such claims are not
i bona hde or based on sufficient
I grounds II any person has reason
to believe that a claim for exemp-
tion has been made by any person
who is not acting in all good faith
Il is the duty of that person to
furnish such information to the dis
trict attorney where 1t will be high
lly appreciated and action upon 1t
will be promptly taken.
From the 225 that appeared in
answer to the call 104 filed claims
on the ground Of being resident
aliens. That means men who have
not taken out their first papers or
ever declared their intention of be-
coming citizens of the United States
One hundred and twenty-one men
therefore faced Doctors |. A. Alex
ander and II. II Richardson the
examining physicians. Twenty-one
we're found To be physically deficient
and IS after passing the physical
examination filed claims for dis
charge upon various grounds, the
principal among which was de-
pendency upon them for SUP
port
A second call .has been issued for
200 men who will be examined at
the county high school building on
Thursday. Friday and Saturday of
this week. These examinations will
start promptly at : a m. ana con-
tinne until all have been examined
