DISTRICT EXEMPTION BOARD
PASSES ON 1873 CASES AND RE-
VERSES THE LOCAL BOARD In
ONLY TWO INSTANCES.

The district exemption board at Ma
con has passed on 1873 appeals from
the local board, reversing the latter
in only two instances.
One of these is the case of Furlow
Gatewood, Jr., whom the local board
placed in Glass Four The district
board, however, puts him in Glass
One, for the reason that he married
after the draft act became effective.
The government appealed his case. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Gatewood will be
sent off to the training camp within
the next thirty or forty days, unless
he should obtain reconsideration and
re-classifcation of his case
Every young man who married since
May 8, 917, wa splaced in Glass One.
