certain that some Of the eastern coun-
ties will be unable to supply the full
quota to he composed entirely OF white
men. This will make it necessary for
the deficiencies TO be made UP from
counties of the Western District. In
the eastern counties 50 many white
men have claimed exemption and their
cases are pending that 1t is impossible
to certify them for service until their
appeals have been finally disposed Of
The law allows all men ten days in
which to file claims for exemption, and
consequently those who put in their
pleas to be relieved from military ser-
vice, cannot, under any circumstances
be called out until the time allowed has
elapsed.
However 1t is understood that there
