WHO ARE THEY?

The members of the local exemption boards in Tennessee
performed a splendid service during the time they were induct-
ing men into the army,
There are two classes-those who received 81 for every
man they sent to war and those who refused to accept pay for
their work.
Maj. Rutedge Smith would do a public service by announc-
ing the names of the members who refused pay. We under
stand quite a number declined any remuneration whatsoever,
and it is no more than Just that they should have the added
distinction OF giving their service to their country. II Mai
Smith cannot consistently give out the names we would be very
glad to hear from the members themselves.
