said that in the same report statistics
showing the number of men accepted
and rejected by every board in de-
tail indicated that the percentage
of reflections was only 1855. This
percentage, he said, should not be
considered high owing to the regu-
lations as they were then inter-
preted. Under the first regulations the
physicians were very strict. OF
226,115 men drafted only S.65 per
cent. were rejected at camp.
'The first report of the provost
marshal general shows that during
1917 Camp Lee and Camp Meade

vania's men had been sent during
that year, rejected respectively only
2.49 per cent. and 6.24 per cent. of
the men arriving in camp" said he
The Major paid a tribute to the
self sacrifice of the doctors during
the early days of the draft examin-
ations and to the fact that they
received maximum of four dollars
a day, while their devotion to duty
on draft board work in hours when
they should have been resting dur

In closing Major Murdoch said
that the figures showed that the

The discussion following Major
Murdock's address was opened by

spoke briefly in appreciation of the

in examining men for the draft and
declared that no other state in the
