TO. Be RE-EXAMINED.
Part of Registrars Rejected by Local
Boards for Physical Defects
Are to be Recalled.

Date Set for REORGANIZATION OF Men
D by Princeton Local Board is
+ Friday, February Is.
In view of the contemplation of a
further investigation and classified
ton Of registrants physically qualified
for special and limited military service
who have not the qualifications for
general military service, and in view
of the decision to accept some regis
trants for general military service
with remediable defects who are other
wise physically and mentally qualified
for military service, new regulations
have been issued to local boards by,
Provost Marshal General Crowder for
a re-examination Of registrants COM
ing within the provisions who were
heretofore rejected.
Acceptance by local boards is direct
ed for men showing these conditions:
Acute or temporary skin ailments;
practically all venereal disease con-:
ditions; hearing above the fraction
1920; vision of 20-1OO in one eye if
the other is 2O-4O; practically all alb
dominal cases; extrcmities with no
restriction of joint function, or no de-
formity which interferes with walk
ing or weight bearing power, cases
where there are three natural masti-
eating teeth above and three below op-
posing, with the same as to incisor
teeth; practically all cases of reducible
hernia. -,
The referring of doubtful cases to-
the medical advisory board is provided
for. This includes registrants with
evidence Of having had some disease
Of which no symptoms are now pres
ent, registrants distinctly under weight
or with sunken or deformed chests,
impaired extremities, etc. --..
Registrars who were rejected by
local boards for physical defects who
come within the above category have
been recalled for denomination.
This, however, will not affect men who
were physically examined in Prince
ton on February 1 and 2, as all these
registrants passed for either full mill
tary duty or qualified military duty.
The date set for the re-examina-
ton of Mile Laos county registrants
in Princeton is Friday, February Is,
and the local board, consisting of DIR.
Galley, w. C. Doane and Harry Shock
ley, after carefully canvassing the
records, have come to the conclusion
that not more than six of those here
tofore rejected for physical defects
can possibly be accepted under the new
ruling. They are:
Rudolph Zeroth, Princeton.
Elmer K. Larson, Princeton.
Warner A. Lindberg, Princeton.
Bernard A. Lundquist, Milaca. Z
Albert Hanson, Milaca.
Ray Peterson, Milaca. -
Those who pass in this list will re-
place like number of those accepted
on February and 2 and are now held
as part Of Mile Laos county quota
of %. -. ...... -,
By new ruling of the provost
marshal a registrant may have his
physical examination transferred to
any local board he may see fit. The
previous rule was that all transfer
cases were required to be examined by
the nearest medical advisory board,
which caused considerable inconveni-
ence and expense. There are some
cases, however, upon which the advis-
DRY board will probably be called upon
to pass, as hereinbefore set forth.
Those Married After May 10, 1917.
The state adjutant general, after
conference with the district boards of
Minnesota, has laid down the follow
ing rule for the guidance of local
boards, and giving registrants mar
ried after May 10, 1917, a proper and
uniform classification throughout the
state. This rule is that nearly all
such registrants should be placed in
class Ia. Exceptions are, however,
provided for unusual conditions, where
such conditions work an extreme hard
ship on any registrant or immediate
dependents.
The above is published in conse-
quence Of SO many inquiries being
made to the local board regarding the
married registrant's status.
