Big PROBLEM
FACES BOARDS
IN CUMBERLAND
Examiners Must Summon
Many More Men to Get
Full Quota


Carlisle, Pa. Aug. 8.-With physi-
cal disability and claims for exemp-
ton cutting deep gaps in the list of
eligibles, Cumberland countys two
boards to select the quota for the
new National Army face the problem
of examining nearly 1000 men at the
present rate before the total for
the first call is gotten.
First official figures of the early
work were made public last evening
and give an idea of what is expected
to follow as the work is continued
from day to day. This week is ex-
pected to end the examinations of
those under the first call. while ad-
ditional men to fill the quota will
probably be called for next week.
Yesterday of forty men examined,
but six passed the physical tests and
did not claim exemption. OF the
others, twenty-one failed to pass
physically and the remainder made
exemption claims. In District No. 2,
yesterday, forty-one were examined,
five were rejected for physical de-
| fects, nine made no claim for exemp-
ton and twenty-six did. The officers
of No. district will not make pub
lie the names of the men who were
rejected, passed or who claimed eX-
emption. The No. board gave out
the results of yesterdays tests, how
ever. The following were the men
