He explained that he had gone out of
the city for little trip during the time
allowed him by his employer for being

was told he had come too late for ex-
animation yesterday. and that under
the law he could be held as physically

for his appearance. He was told.

RAIN SPREADS DRIPPING
MANTLE OVER SAMM|ES
Pershings Men Get Foretaste Of
What Is to Come With
French Winter.

BY the Associated Press.
AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE. August 4.-The rain. which
has done SO much to hold up the
offensive in Flanders, has spread its
dripping mantle over the American
training camp. For almost solid week
the only dry day has been Wednesday,
when Maj. Gen. Pershing paid his first
flying visit.
There has been a distinct touch of
winter in the weather, and the men
havee had a foretaste of what is TO
come in November. December, January
and February. when the comparatively
few hours of daylight generally are
shroudeed in deep gray mists The rains
have been a good test for the housing
accommodations of the American
troops. all Of whom, however. have
1t is wonderful to see the transforma-
tons that have taken place in the French
villages. barns and farmhouses where the
soldiers are billeted. These places are
cleaner than was ever known before.
The American area in France is con-
stantly spreading and barracks are spring.
ing uD in many places.
The americans are already learning the
art which the French and British call
camouf1age-the art of disguise. The tents
and the roofs of some of the smaller bar
racks are covered by branches of trees
and twigS, so that they. will not be dis.
tinguished readily from airplanes.
The rain has not interfered serious
ly with the training of those soldiers
whose camps are located on high
ground. However. it has compelled the
abandonment of some of the low living
camps. but the men are being drilled
on tn. paved streets.
Today there was bomb throwing and
automatic rifle contests between pick
ed French and American teams. The
scores were close. but the decision was
given to the Americans.

DOCTORS TESTS TOO SEVERE.
New York City Exemption Boards
Get New Instructions.

NEW YORK. August 4.-Unneces-
sarily severe physical examinations of
men called for the National Army un-
der the draft is responsible for the high
percentage of reflections in some dis
tricts. In the opinion of AdJt. Gen.
Stotesbury. who sent a telegram on the
subject to each of the 189 exemption
boards in this city today.
by direction of the War Depart
ment." the telegram said. you are ad-
vised that the department statistics in
dictate your district should turn out ap-
proximately 40 per cent of it's men
physically fit. If you are rejecting a
greater number than 80 per cent, it
probably is caued by very exacting
physical examinations"
1t was conceded by several of the ex-
amining physicians that they have
been strict in determining the fitness
of the applicants for military service
in the belief that they were best serv-
ing the government in this way. and
were averting the necessity for rejec-
tions by army surgeons when another
examination is made at the canton
ments.

CANNOT ANSWER QUERIES.
Gen. Crowder Says Questions Must
be Addressed to Local Boards.

The physical impossibility of answer
ing the thousands of letters of inquiry
from men affected by the draft
prompted the provost marshal gem
erals Office last night to announce en-
phatically that requests for information
or instructions should be addressed by
individuals only to their local or dis
trict boards. II any board is unable to
answer a question, it is to be forwarded
to the state governor, and If he can
not get an answer. he is instructed to
apply to the provost marshal general.
reply will be given within twelve
hours.
The provost marshal generals Of
flee explained further that for this
office to attempt to make rulings on
individual cases. on ex parte state
ments. and in the absence of complete
information that is accessible to the
proper board. would be subversive of
the law and would be an invasion Of
the Jurisdiction of boards"

board of division No. 8. at the Business
High School. tomorrow will start exami-
nations of 100 additional men, 1t is
planned to take two days for the tests.
Notices were sent out Friday by the ex-
emption board calling on these additional
men to appear for examination
The physicians at this division devoted
most of their time yesterday to re-ex-
aminng men whose cases were held from
the first examinations. Thirty-six were
re-examined. out Of which thirty-five
were disqualified as being unable to meet
the physical requireme nts. The board
certified the other man as eligible
William v. Cox. chairman OF the exemp-
ton board for the tenth division, expects
to take up few claims for exemption
examinations are to be continued through
Wednesday. however. it is probable that
the bulk of claims will not be considered
until after that date. Even as 1t il the
members of the board are working nights
to keep the work running smoothly.
One perfect man" was discovered by
the examining physicians at Division No.
10 yesterday. He was Raymond Paul
Rocca Of 1892 Irving street. Rocca was
given rating Of 100 per cent-the FIRST
to attain this distinction In this division.
Although they have shown great con-
