Medical Test and the Standard Will
Not be Lowered is the Report

The enrolling of 228 young men fer
the selective draft in Smyrna and
%, 900 IN the State on the one Regis
tration Day last week, has made the
coming draft the one absorbing sub
ject of the community. While a few
Of our young men are joining the
militia. the great majority seem will
ing TO await the turning of the "draft
wheel" and the "medical test" The
drafting will begin on Monday, June
18th according to a report from
Washington. Names will be chosen
by the Jury wheel system by local
officials for each 10000 of popula-
tion. All men whose names are drawn
will be instructed to appear for physi-
cal examination before a medical
board. If found physically fit, the
man will then be given an opportun-
ity, if desired, to present his claim
for exemption. If such claim is de-
MED by the board in the first instance,
he will have the privilege of appear
ing to the board of review, one of
which will be established in each fed
eral judicial district. Here decision
will be final, aside from a possible
appeal to the president. 1t was def
nitely declared at the war department
last week that there is no basis for
the widespread reports that the phYsi-
cal requirements of the army will be
lowered when the examiners begin
their work with the drafted men. On
the other hand, it was asserted, the
department is convinced that such
procedure would be most unwise in
view of the certain increase in sick
lists which would result from such q
policy. Provost Marshal General
Crowder is more optimistic on this
score than other officers, however. He
has declared he expects to get 625,
900 acceptable men out of the frs
/. 250, 900 names drawn.
