TO Prosecute FOR
FALSE AFFIDAVITS

Making Of false afildaviis in connec-
tion with claims for exemption from
military service is a serious offense
which is not going to be overlooked by
any Of the local exemption boards. The
members have resolved that those who
resort to this subterfuge TO escape duty
in the army and those who make false
aflldayits to aid them TO get away from
military service are going to be punish
ed, and such cases where discovered
will be turned over to the United states
district attorney for prosecution.
There have been several instances
brought 10 light recently by the local
boards of false afiidavits having been
made in support Of claims and these
afldavits have not always come from
the men. who were trying 10 get away
from military duty. Some Of them
have been made by business men
members OF the boards say, and these
are going 10 be made TO suffer with
the rest. Just how soon action will
be taken against these offenders has
not been decided. but q list of such
is being compiled for presentation Il
