DISTRICT 1 RESUMES TASK
 OF RAISING QUOTA OF 274
Alternates Will Be Chosen to Fill Places of Men Reject ed at Military Training Camp.

EXaHT1ndL1On or the second lOL CI 800 men called in the first draft by the local exemption board, No. l. con- tinued from 8 until o'clock today. Up to noon total of 169 men>1>ad pre- sented themselves and of these only 29 had been accepted and had not claimed emption. Forty-six oth- CTS, however, had passed the physical examination but claimed exemption on various grounds, while 28 were rejected by the doctors. The aliens numbered 66 This afternoon anoth- CT large quota of men appeared for examination.
 J. J. Watson" clerk of this exemp- tion board, states that while the board has worked hard for over week on the claims already presented it has not as yet completed the work. Secretary Watson. in ex- plaining the need of calling so many additional men, said that the board desires to enlist between $50 and 400 eligibles men so that in case any are rejected at Aver, Mass, and sent back the board will have sui f1cient number of alternates without having to call out another quota for examination. This board also finds number of men included in the first draft who have moved from the city. Their notices have been sent to their new addresses and have been returned unopened. According to the inter- preted ruling this constitutes an off, 'cial notice and unless the men ap- pear in their turn they will be official ly declared enrolled and will be listed as deserters. Among those called and who have not yet responded are Gegam Fahradian and Charles R. Bagdasa rian, both of 33 F Lafayette street. The board has been in formed unofficially that these men have gone to France and enlisted un- der the Tricolor. Among others examined today was Henry S. Moeller of Camp street. He passed the physi- cal examination but claimed exemp- tion on the ground that he is a duly ordained minister (Advent church) and also because he has dependents. The first man accepted for service to- day was, strangely enough, an alien. He is Frank Szyazkiewicz of 66 Orange street Before being exam ined he announced that if he passed he would go to war. He kept his word and waived exemption
 Second Board Also Working.

The second district clerks today made out a list of the second 500 or 700 men to be called for examination to make up the quota of 239. The letters will be mailed tonight or tomorrow and the men will be ordered to report on next Tuesday. The following letter has been sent to the various manufac- turers by the second board:
 Owing to the excessive amount
 of claims for exemption coming
 before the local exemption boards
 1t is unavoidably necessary to
 make another call for physical
 examination. ;. 1
 Under the circumstances it will
 be necessary to ask the further indulgence of our local manufac- turers to allow clerks the priv ilege of assisting the boards for
 the necessary time required. ] Will you kindly grant the request
 of the boards if called on?
 Yours sincerely Local Board for
