EXAMINATION OF DRAFTED MEN
 WEARS END
LOCAL BOARD TODAY WORKING ON LAST CON- VINCENT TO BE USED; MANY EXAMINED ARE SEEKING EXEMPTIONS.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

ination of the 25l men who have beer called before the local board for this morning, it is believed that a sui. ficiently large number will have been examined 70 insure the completion of Yavapai county's quota of 433 men. Exclusive of today's increment there have been 2,149 men who have reported for physical examination, and when the board completes its task this evening or tomorrow, a grand total of 2,400 men will have been passed upon. As the county's total registration was 3,465, 1t will be seen that there were l,065 men who were not called on to report to the local board, and it is understood that this number is being held in reserve so that in case the occasion demands it, an additional number of soldiers can be obtained from this county.
 While the number of men who claimed exemptions was much larger than had originally been anticipated, it is believed that the county's orig inal quota and the additional increase of number equaling 10 per cent of the quota can be taken care of, and the recruits sent to the training camps on the dates indicated by the war department, and which were pub lished in these columns yesterday.
 Since the boards policy of giving publicity to the list of names of the men seeking exemption has been put into effect, number of cases of fraudulent claims have been called to the attention of the local body by persons who were familiar with the circumstances of the cases, and today another list of those seeking exemp- tions is presented for the inspection of the residents of the county, with the hopes that if anyone knows of a claim which is not in all respects valid and bona hde, the attention of the board will be called to the same.
