called as a test case to determine the
status Of alien registrants who fail to
comply with the draft law. Captain
Horace Wilson, chairman Of local board
No. 3, has been summoned TO appear
before the court martial with all neces-
sary documents.
Today members OF the local draft
boards started the work OF inspecting
the FIRST percentage of the question:
naires which were sent out more than
a week ago and for the return of which
the necessary seven days have elapsed.
The boards, in reviewing the papers will
decide into what class the applicant
should be put, according to the answers
given.
Some OF the officials Of the local
boards who have seen some of the re-
turned questionnaires believe that
many men who claimed exemption on
the grounds Of dependency under the
old form of claim, have been obliged
under the form as set forth in the new
missionaries to so state the condi-
tions Of dependency as 10 nullify virtu-
ally the effects Of their claims.
The new questiOnnaires, for example,
not only require the names of the dc
pendents, but also the degree OF de-
tendency Again, enumeration must be
made Of any and all income derived by
the dependents including property held
either by them OF for them. The ques-
tionnaires are so detailed that the an
swers automatically place the draft ap-
plicant within a prescribed class in
stead Of leaving it to the discretion Of
the various boards who heretofore have
differed greatly from each other on
cases that appeared very similar in
facts
After the QUESTIONABLE has been gone
over and the man filling it has been
properly classified, the next step will be
the physical examination of the appli-
cant which is the only other examina-
ton necessary TO complete his draft.
Blank forms for appeals from the de-
cision Of the local boards, appeals on
industrial or agricultural grounds and
even the appeal boards are on the backs
OF the questionnaires so that the sheet
is a complete record itself Five days
is the time allowed in which TO Ole an
appeal.
