 ORDERS TO REPORT

SOME CAN'T BE LOCATED

Letters Sent Hero By Exemption Board-Many Aliens Included in
 First Batch to Report-Woman Jailed.
 over seventy young men who reg lstered for conscripticn on June re- ce1Ved letters last night or this morn ing instructing them to present them | selves Tor physical examination Sat urday at the Town hall here. They are to be inspected by company of physicians who have volunteered their seruces to determine who among the men are fit to stand the rigors of life in the trenches, the local" board, consisting of Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington. B. I. Miller of Avon, and Dr. T. c. O'Connell of Bristol, de- ciding later as to whether those who pass are to join the new army or re- main at home to look after their de- pendents or continue their work in the manufacture of products that will be of aid to tho nation in the prose- cution of the war
 A number of doctors invited by the board to assist in the examinations and the corps of clerks recruited by Stanley S. Gwillim will be on hand Saturday morning at 6:30 to perform the duties required of them. They will work continuously until all who appear are examined with a short recess for lunch. Of the 1000 regis trants in the district instructed to be examined to determine their eligibility for places in the quota of four hum dred. 300 represented Berlin, Plain vile and Southington will report at the Town hall here Saturday. Nearly one-half of this number will come from Southin9ton, the remainder being almost equally divided between the other two towns.
 The registrants will have to depend entirely on the letters sent out by the district board for information as to whether they are included in the first batch to report. Chairman Smith told the Herald today that because of the great amount of red tape" in their work they found it impossible to make out lists either for publication or for hosting in the various towns in the district at this time. At a later date they propose to have the serial lists on file m the town clerks office cor rected to show the order in which each registrant is to be drawn. The list is in possession of the clerk of the board, I. Miller of Avon, and is open to Inspection but no copies have been made. the district board neelecting to follow the same course as that taken in other places where official statements containing the names and numbers of all ordered to appear were given to the press.
 Under the law 1t Is the duty of each
 hn in which his number was drawn, and the non-receipt of letter from the dis trict board will not serve as an ex- cuse for his failure to appear for physical examination should his name be among the first thousand in the district.
 This feature is liable to be put to a. test here, as the mail carriers have thus far been unable to locate nine of the men to whom letters have been addressed by the board. The letters held at the post office bear the names of Louis C. Hanrahan, Edmon J. Blanchard, Edwin J. Blanchard, Patsy Di Russo, Wladyslaw Biakowysa, Rocco Bricese, Raymond Luise, John Katchiftv and Concetto Marchetti.
 Among those in Plainville who will have to appear Saturday there are a number of friendly aliens, who are exempt from service and several regis trants who will not be taken because of the fact that they have dependents. Even should eighty per cent of those called from here pass the physical ex- animation, it is doubtful if there Will be twenty whose claims for exemp- tion will not be regarded as valid oy the board.
