'POSSUM NOW
FeignIng Illness or Injuries to Escape
Draft Will Not Be Tolerated
by Physicians.

Men who have an idea they can
escape service in the new national
army, if drawn, by exaggerating dis
qualifications or feigning disorders
which would disqualify them, are due
for severe disappointment.
Such is the word that comes from
the office of Provost Marshal General
Crowder. In statement Of regula-
tons to examining physicians the
government heads the rules with the
following admonition In bold-faced
type:
1T is important, to begin with,
that the examining physician should
realize that there will be certain
proportion of men among those pre-
senting themselves for examination
who will endeavor to obtain exemp-
ton by discrimination, varying from
exaggeration of an existing condition
nor disqualifying to downright malin-
gering, and he should be prepared to
protect the government and himself
against such attempts at deception"
