Delaware Gets 70
PER Cent. OF Quota
888 of 1902 Men Called in
State Are in National
Army
BEST SHOWING OF
ANY STATE TO DATE

to the new national army had been
secured. This statement was made by
Charles Warner, chairman Of the district
(Statel board This is about 20 per
cent. of the total quota that is TO be
raised in Delaware. Mr. Warner also
stated that from information he has
received this is the best showing made
by any State to date. The majority of
these men were secured from the first
levy called for examination, there re-
naming many cases from the second
levy yet to be disposed Of IL is pos
sibe that some Of the districts will
secure their quota from the .wo levies
that have been examined. hut as about
10 per cent. over the exact quota will be
certified so that the State will be sure
of the 1902 men, u is possible that every
district will make a third call for ex-
animation.
General Crowder, at Washington, has
postponed the date upon which addl-
tiOnal men of the draft army VIII re-
port at Camp Dix. at WrightstOwn, y. j.
Five per cent Of Dclaw0re's quota has
arrived there, and an additional 40 per
cent. was due on September 10. General
Crowdcr's order reduces the percentage
TO be received on that date TO %. the
other - per cent. 90 follow as soon
after as the camp can be made ready
for them.
According TO Mr.. Warner there has
been a misunderstanding relst 10
the appealing Of some cases where
dependency is the grounds for claim
for exemption. He said the Idea had
/ gotten out that every such case that
is appealed and the registrant notified
of the appeal that the case Is 10 be
reopened and entirely reviewed. This,
he stated. is incorrect He eXplained
that every dependency case passed on
by the ,ocal board is automatically ap.
peaiel and that in many instances the
sending out of the notices OF appeal
Is a formal matter.
