The board having charge of passing
on the men to be drawn for the new
national army have a very consider
able task ON their hands Among the
men summoned for examination at
| the court house last week, were some
! ten aliens who have not yet shown
up They forfeit their right to
! claim exemption through this pro
cedufa and in accordance with the
rules laid down by the provost mar
sha general they must be reported
as passed fer service. But on the
other hand, an alien cannot be made
to serve in the army and If they are
sent with the other men to the mo-
| bilization camp they will be rejected
and a new call will be necessary. Tho
point was settled by the adiutant
/ general of Idaho by advising the
local board to draw and certify G1
men in place of l. and thus allow
for the rejection of the aliens Most
of the men who failed to report are
sheep herders who are employed fat
back in the hills, who do not under
stand English enough 50 that the
can be made to understand their
duty in the matter and whose en-
ploYers have not been at any pains
to enlighten them.
There were 81 claims for exemp-
tion fled By the $50 men who We're
called for examination, ~ of which
were on the ground of dependent
| families, all of which were allowed
Two of the other three were for oc-
cupational exemption, and one for
conscientious objection, all three of
which were overruled.
