Telegraphic Orders Today
Stop All Work in CLASH
fication of Men Over
36 Years Old.
OTHERS NAY YET Be CALLED
Boards Get Orders to Proceed With the
Physical Examination of Younger
Men and to Send Gases to
District Board.

The local exemption boards began
"mopping' uptoday. Formal telegraph
orders were received during the NOM
ing eliminating lot Of the work that
the local boards had planned. These
orders removed all liability for mill
tary service at this time for regis
trants above the age Of thirty-six years
and they are now forgotten past Of
the great mass of records in the offices
of the boards. These men may be
called into service for some future wal
but tney will be free for the present.
There will not be any physical ex-
amlnations arranged for these men and
if they have not received the question
naire they will not receive them and
if the questionnaires have been fled
they will not be classified.
At the county board this morning
work of making physical examinations
Of men under thirty-six years was be-
ing continued and these men will be
classified and certified to the district
board just the same as the hundreds of
men who have been called before.
1t is very improbable that any of
these men will be called under the
draft, but the government insists that
the boards be ready to furnish men
if men are needed
The local boards have no informa-
ton as to what is to happen in connec-
tion with a vast number of men re-
Gently sent from Kenosha county into
training camps. Hundreds of these
men have been in the camps for less
than three months and it is thought
possible that an order will be issued
just as soon as peace is declared send
ing these men back to their homes.
The question of the men IN the Stu
dent Army Training Corps in the vari-
Gus schools and colleges of the country,
is also causing some deep thought on
the part of the officials. Tt is possible
that these men will all be given
chance either to return to their homes
or to continue their military and
scholastic education. These men may
be made the nestor of great national
movement for universal military train
ing. 1T is thought that some early
action will be taken by Congress to
provide for the continuance Of the
Education Of these young men--at any
rate until the end of the period for
which they were registered
No more men will be accepted for
the officer s training camps, either
from the ranks of the civilians or from
the ranks of men who are subject to
call under the draft and it is probable
that men still in civil life who have
been commissioned but who were
awaiting the formal call to service will
never receive this formal call.
Men who had been called into the
service of the army by the draft
boards and who were not sent to camps
will all receive the formal honorary
discharges from the army.
Down in Washington the War De
partment officials are beginning to
make plans for the rehabilitation OF
the army and it is understood that this
will be carried out as rapidly as pos
sible. Under the rule suggested the
men longest in service will be first re
leased This is taken to mean that
there is a possibility that Kenosha men
now in training camps may yet see
service in France provided men III
France desire to be returned to this
country before the general demobiliza
ton Of the army takes place.
The orders received today have
greatly reduced the immediate work to
be done by the exemption boards
