BE CALLED SOON
Officials Certain that False
Claims for Release Are
Being Filed.
Seventy-six registrants were exam
ined by the Grand Forks county ex-
at the court. house this morning, SO
passing the physical examination and
23. Claiming exemption. For physical
disability, 16 were rejected.
AS was expected. many Of those
appearing for examination were more
interested in the possibility, Of escap-
ing military service through exemp-
ton than they were in their accept
ance Into the Liberty army. but It wa
davtts for release from military obH-
cations was not as heavy as yester-
day. n
More Claims Expected.
Many more exemptions will be
claimed by those passing the physical
examination, and 1t Is probable that.
nearly half of those who have not as
yet filed a claim, will do SO within
the next few days. Many not having
dependent wives or children sought
information from Deputy Sheriff sor-,
be. given, and as a result. it is believed
that many %affidayits will be filed in
h near future.
Ma Call
That the reserve will be called up
on to fill out the quota Of 216 for
Grand Forks county, now appears
likely. Fromtthe 22s alreay examin-
ed, only 90 have passed and did not
claim exemption. OF this number, 1t
Is believed that at least rs per cent
will file exemption claims.
The number of eligible men will be
materially increased however at the
meeting of the exemption board, when
the number Of false or insufficient
claims aregselected from the list, and.
the men who are attempting to evade
service. are forced to withdraw their
claims. 1t Is already known that a
number of false claims AVE been fled
and,ta as an Investigation will be CON
Quoted, those who have attempted to
assured. that they r not safe from
transcription and perhaps other penal
ties. A 8

The examining machine. operated
on. q systematic basis, is proving eff
! cient and rapidsprogresss is being
: made with the task. Few registrants
have attempted to solicit reflections
with claims OF physical weaknesses,
while a large number have ~endeavor-
ed to hide defects In order to- be ac-
cepted.
Only a few Of the men appear to
fear the examination and these are
easily selected from. the crowd. 9th
ers are jubilant over the venture and
SCOT at the crowd collected about the
exemption department.. 81
s Several registrants failed to put in
their appearance when called this
morning, but most Of. these are ex-
pected to appear later. Those report
