OKLAHOMA CITY. Jul 25.-Va-
cancies on the two eastern appellate
boards having TO do with passing on
exemption of men affected by the
draft for the army will not be filled
until Governor Williams returns
home. He is away for the wee- in
the mountains. Adjutant General
carp said today that nothing will be
done by him in the matter, as these
appointments are made by the gov
ernor and not by him. 1t had been
suggested that in the absence of the
governor the adjutant general could
make the appointments.
There is no particular hurry for the
vacancies to be filled said General
carp today. II will not be necessary
for the district boards to meet for
business until after the county boards
have completed their work. The men
will first appear before the county
boards. Then should they desire to
appeal from a decision of a county
board they go direct to the district
board
The same rule enforced by the war
department that removed members Of
llt county bttdGSt lltN tdllt
within the draft age applies to the
higher boards. This took Edgar S.
Fenton, Lehigh and Eugene +. Ross,
McAlester, off tho two boards in the
two eastern districts. These are the
two appointments that must wait un-
til Governor Williams returns.
1t is expected that the lists or num-
bers and names of the men in the or
der they must appear before the
county boards will be received by Ad-
jutant General carp within day or
two. If they are sent to him it is
probable that he will be instructed
TO send them to the various county
boards, which will be notice to the
men to appear before the boards. I'm
til then. however. there is nothing
more to be done.
Edgar Fenton, one of the removed
draft officials. is vitally interested in
the draft as a prospective candidate
for conscription. He is 2S years old
and was the 153rd young man drawn
out of the quota of l68 at Lehigh. He
is not married.
