Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1917-08-24
NOT LIKELY TO GALL
ANY MORE IN DRAFT
Examination Of 546 Men Seems to
Furnish Necessary Quota
Final Assurance, However, May
Be Matter Of Several Weeks


Be Matter Of Several Weeks
The probabilities are that the Add
son County Draft board will not have
TO make further call for men, M
official announcement is made 10 this
effect, but from an analysis which The
Register has made Of the 5i6 cases thu,
far taken up by the draft board il
seems certain that the necessary quota
Of % men will be obtained
For one reason or another, mostly for
physlca defects, 25l Of the DAG men
have been practically eliminated from
the draft, as indicated in detail further
on in these columns. There are, how
ever, 30 men on record as accepted and
having filed no claim for exemption;
there are q more whose exemption
claims have been disallowed, making a
total of III men apparently available
unless appeals to the district board
cause an upset in the calculation, In
addition there are 80 men who have
been accepted, whose intention about
filing claims Is not yet known. This is
due to the fact that the government
failed to furnish enough exemption
claim blanks and the local board has had
to give the men another form, to be
filed out by wives or other dependents,
and which they have ten days time in
which to file. There are also 81 men
whose claims for exemption are yet to
be- considered by the local board, and a
portion Of which will undoubtedly be
di,alowed.
As predicted by The Register pre-
yi0us,N it will be several weeks before
the drafting process is finally complete,
but each step, in each individual case is
indicated each week in The Register so
far as it is available at the Court
House, through the courtesy Of the
local board which is anxious that the
public should thoroughly appreciate
that their work Of selection is as fair
and hone t as they know how to make
it, Where there is any question Of the
justice of their action it can be taken
to the district board for appeal, and The
Register will later endeayor to follow
the cases through to conclusion.
