TO TAKE REJECTED
MEN In NEXT DRAFT
EXAMINATION OF CLASS / SUD.
DENLY HALTED BY WIRE ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

Physical examination of men in
class 1 under selective service regu-
lations was temporarily discontinued
by the local exemption board Satur-
day, after about rs young men had
been examined. This was done in
accordance with orders from Pro
vost Marshal General Crowder, who
wired that new regulations prescrib-
ing physical qualifications for serv-
ice would be promulgated. 1t was an
nounced in the telegram that these
would be forwarded in a few DAYS.
OF those who were examined about
half were excused because of physi-
cal defects.
It is expected that thousands of
men rejected as physically unfit will
be accepted for the national army
when they are again called for ex-
animation under the new classified
ton system. Flat feet, missing fin
gers or toes or other disabilities
which caused the rejection of many
men by the local selective service
board when the first draft was be-
ing made will not physically disqual-
lfy men under new rulings by Sur
geon General Gorgas.
AS all men rejected in the first
draft are being reclassifed under the
QUESTIONABLE system, they will be re-
called before examining boards and
subjected to the revised rules. These
forbid the local boards to exempt
any man as unfit unless he is hope
lessly disqualified.
Hundreds rejected by the local
board in first draft who had compare
lively slight defects will be accepted
In the second draft. They will be
passed on to district medical boards
which will reject only those who can.
not be used for military purposes
Those accepted will be sent to can.
tonments where they will have ex.
pert treatment for the cure of dis.
eases.
Under the new system announced
by Surgeon General Gorgas practical.
ly the only persons exempted on ply.
steal grounds by local boards will be
imbeciles and victims of major all
ments.
More Instructions.

the board was notified to proceed
with the examinations until a sufi

named.
This letter also states that these

Wm. Yerger for Circuit Clerk

We have been authorized to announce the candidacy of Wm. Yerger of Lake Village for the office of Circuit Clerk, subject to the action of the democratic primary. Of his candidacy his home paper, the Lake Village Spectator says:
 MT Yerger lays no claims to being a politician he k but business man that pays strict attention to business.
 Some time agoshe was induced to en- ter the race for mayor of Lake Village He won out over strong opposition. and so we'll did he serve his constituency that he was kept in the chair for three terms, after which he t1atly refused to be a candidate for re- election
 His record while serving as mayor of your county seat town. is one of bust ness and marked progresslveness. The paving and sewer systems of the town are perhaps the most striking evidence of his progressiveness.-
 While large number of the voters of the county perhaps are not now ae- quainted with Mr Yerger. as are his home folks. yet 1t is safe prediction that before the campaign is over they will be better acquainted with him and his abilities, and in case he has opposi- tion his opponent will find in Mir. Yer  ger formidable rival.
 Tt is good to see business men of his type offering their services to their county.

Soldiers Cannot
Secure Release

According to dispatch from Camp

there and relatives of soldiers al

lease of soldiers from the army. or
ficers at the camp state that the at
tempts are demoralizing to the NOR
ale of the army, and should not con-
tinue. Since news of the signing Of
the armistice reached America tele-
graph wires into Camp Lewis have
been crowded with messages asking
when they would return and urging
the soldiers to obtain immediate re-
lease.
Attempts to obtain the release of
men cannot be considered, it was
said at camp headquarters, until
some plan is announced by the war
department for the rehabilitation Of
the army.
THE prospects are that most men
now in the army will continue in the
service for a long period" said one
staff officer. "The civilian popula-
tion in many cases believes the job
Of the army is done. This is not so,

shows"
