ernoon was compiling the standings of
the second hundred men examined and

has been supplied with the names of
those who failed to appear for exam
ination and they will be apprehended.
Some are believed to have enlisted.
Out of the first hundred sixty-four
were examined and accepted and sixteen
examined and rejected because of ply
sical defects Thirty-three received
exemption because of dependents. ten
were found to be resident aliens. two
were in the service and two were
exempted on their claims of being the
support of widowed mothers. Those
exempted received temporary discharges
and are liable to be called for service at
any time the board shall see ft.
The names of three men who have
not supported their claims to exemp-
ton are held and unless the men file
affidavits before tomorrow they will be
accepted. They are Arthur Van Bode-
craven. William S. Sendelbaugh and
Frann Krayos All claimed exemption
because of dependents.
Acting on a new ruling the board has
refused to accept claims of exemption
because Of dependents in foreign coun-
tries A few foreign-born young men
have tried to work that excuse. The
board had no means of knowing whether
they had families in Europe or not. The
majority of foreign-born men have been
loyal.
The examination of the second hun
dred has been completed. In addition to
doing its own work the board accomo-
date a number of outsiders and examin-
ed them, saving the non-residents a trip
to their own exemption boards. The
Hammond board has been very ac-
comodating and very fair. DR.. Weis.
Mr. Lipinski and Mr.. Osborn have work.
ed from early morning until late at
night without giving any time to their
own affairs and without compensation
other than the satisfaction of doing
their bit. And moreover they have done
the work gladly.
