The Waldo County Draft.
New Examinations are Certifying Many
More Men for the Service.

More Men for the Service.
Physical examinations Tor the draft,
which were temporarily held up by order
of the Adjutant General. were resumed
again last Saturday when some fifty men
were called for their second or third ex-
animation or even more as the case might
have been. The cause of the interruption
last week was due to the change in the
regulations and rules, in which there was
imore leniency shown in cases of minor
defects which could be cured. This will
bring into the service many men who
would not otherwise be accepted.
The local board now passes upon regis
trants for general military service only
when they come within the standards of
unconditional acceptance or rejection.
All other cases must be referred to the
Medical Advisory Board for further ex-
animation. Hereafter there will be no
unconditional rejection Of men who have
remedial defects Under the old regula-
tions, men who werelunder five feet in
height were Internationally rejected,
but with the new rules, men of So inches,
IF we'll proportioned according to height,
will be accepted, or referred to the Ad-
visory Board. Above rs inches, and not
exceptionally well proportioned, they
will be passed to the Advisory Board.
The minimum weight is established at
100 pounds. Registrants under weight in
proportion to their height, are also refer
red to the Advisory Board.
Fifty-one men were examined on Sat-
urday in the list who were called, although
some of the original number failed to put
in appearance. Two of the men who
came before the board had been spending
the winter IN the big logging camps in
the northern part of the State in the VII
cinity of Lily Bay and were obliged to
walk distance of 65 miles to get out to
, the railroad.
Of the 81 who were examined by Drs.
O. S. Vickery and Adelbert Millett, three
were accepted for service, as follows:
William H. Collett, Howard Lowell Tib-
belts and Edmund Eleazer Stevens, Bel
asst Four were not accepted for any
service. The remaining A were sent to
the Advisory Board, which consists of
Drs. F. C. Small and Elmer Small of Bel
fast, and DR.. H. L. Trueworthy of Unity,
for a further examination. This board
declined to report the number of that lot
that they had selected for service. Of
