Columbia is concerned, everything is
in readiness for the draft of its quota

ness to report to their local eXemp-
tion boards. No date for reporting is
specified, but Gen. Crowder says the
registrants should be prepared to ap-
pear before the boards on short notice.
No grounds for exemption will be rec
ognized, except those promulgated by
President Wilson.
Gen. Crowder says that seven days
will be allowed for the filing Of claims
for exemption after the local boards
have posted their designations of
those drawn for service. and ten more
days will be allowed for filing proofs
of claims. The board must decide
within three days after the proof is
filed.
Claims for exemption for industrial
or agricultural reasons must be made
within FIVE days after the names are
posted and must go direct to the
higher board sitting for the judicial

ations will be distributed to all who
apply for them.
