The Southern Iowa appeal board
:at Des Moines has passed on large
number of claims for exemption, and
have certified total of 1856 men for
service in Decatur county, which is
within six men of the total number
required from this county. There is
much talk in regard to the refusal OF
the local and appeal boards grant
ing exemptions on the grounds OF de-
pendents, in view of the published
statement from President Wilson
that it was not desired to take mar
first army, and the appeal board has
denied exemption to number OF
men in Decatur county who have de-
pendent wives and children.
In statement published in the
Des Moines Capital of Tuesday, it
was announced that the appeal board
had granted eighteen claims for ex-
names of two Decatur county men,
David Turpen, of Pleasanton, and
VIM James Smith, Of Kellerton.
The following is the complete list
of men certified and called by the
appeal board. Where a date appears
after the name, it signifies they are
called for that date, and where no
