Those Claiming Exemptions
May Not Be Let Out.
LISTS ARE TO Be RECHECKED
So Out of 1874 Have Fallen Back

Expert Farmers Must Go Before
Appeal Board.


emption draft board has examined the
300 men called for examination it will
cease making examinations no matter
whether it has found 119 men who
have passed and failed to claim ex-
emptionS not 1t will pay no at
tention to the claims for exemption
based upon dependent families-not
now. 1t will stop and check over the
and certify to the proper federal au-
thorities as soon as possible the names
| of about fifty men accepted for serv-
ice.
That, in substance, is the statement
made today by DR.. T. c. Biddle, mem
Der of the Shawnee county board. The
army is particularly anxious that one
third of the quota be ready for call to
service by the latter part of Septem-
Der. More time may be taken for the
remainder of the quota.
So Claim Exemptions.
One hundred and twenty-four men
have passed the examinations and of
] this number SO have claimed exempt
ions because of dependent families.
That is the only sort of claim the
Shawnee county board will recognize.
Some of the men who passed expect
to make claims because of their ex-
pert agricultural ability but in each
case the local board has told such
men that the matter must be taken
up with the appeal board.
Ftfty-eight men examined to date
have been discharged because of ply
steal disa bilities. Only thirty-six men
the court house without signifying
their intention of claiming exemption.
