MORE MEN ARE
CERTIFIED By
STATE BOARD
Fifteen Refused Claims
Not Enough Men Yet to
Fill Next Increment.

Fifteen more registrants from
Grand Forks county, who appealed
to the district exemption board at Bis
marck in an effort to be released from
military obligation, have been refused
and are held for service, according
to a certified list received at the office
of the local board today.
Today brought the expiration Of the
time limit for fling exemption claims
for all men who have been examined.
Those who have not forwarded affi-
davits to the district board will now
be held for service.
Whether or not there will be enough
men to fill the quota of 23S from the
number of men who have been ex-
amined. is not known. At present
there are not enough men certified for
service to make up the next incre-
ment of Sc, or forty per cent of the
quota, slated to depart for training
camp next month. Rejection Of claims
by the state board, however, may add
a sufficient number of men to make
up the contingent.
MORE MEN ARE
TO BE EXAMINED.
That another examination will be
held is probable, before the first quota
from this county is obtained. This
call may come the early part of Octo-
Der, and will probably be for about
100 men. This! however, is uncer-
tain.
Following the departure Of the next
Sc men, only 5 men will be left in
this county from the first quota. That
the mex examinations for the second
quota will come soon after is the be-
lief.
The mex contingent to depart will
be made up largely of claimants for
exemption whose claims were denied
by the local or district board. The
great majority will be men who asked
for release from military obligations
on industrial grounds, principally
those who claimed consideration as
farm workers. Many of these were
exempted until October 8, in order
that they might complete the harvest
before being called.
