' Approximately 1000 men were ex
amined by Philadelphia boards today
and about 60 per cent of that number
were accepted. Despite the physical
fitness of the accepted conscripts- more
than 50 per cent informed the examin
ers that they would file claims of ex
emptions. Board officials agreed that
If they succeeded in drafting one man
In every four examined they would be
doing well. Unless the draft machinery
is speeded up the city's quota of 14,000
will not be reached until early in Sep
tember. Bo many Phlladelphlans are trying to
evade service In the national army that
local draft boards today took drastic steps
to check the wave of exemption claims.
That tho draft boards are facing a glgan
US task in the work of furnishing the city's
eiiota of approximately 14,000 was ad-
1 routed by many boards and several, appre
ciating the situation, lost no time In their
nieavor to build up new safeguards around
the draft machinery.
1 ilmllar situation prevails In Camden,
where draft offlclals assert that 75 per cent
of men eligible for army service are claim
tag exemption.
In Philadelphia approximately twenty
local boards conducted physical examina
tions and while the number of men who
were accepted shows a high averago of
physical fitness, tho number of men seek
ing exemptions proved discouraging.
A malorltv of the exemption claims wero
L Wed Upon the grounds that the conscripts
'-stfttve wles and dependent cnuaren. .Ac
cording to a strict Interpretation of the
I drift rules and regulations, these men
would experience littlo difficulty In win
ning discharges from Fcrvlce, but local
'drift boards today decided to tighten up tho
rules and make the path of "married slack
ens" anything but rosy.
DRIVE ON MARRIED MEN
The first board official to start a drive
on married men was Daniel J. Connelly, of
the Fifth District, fourth and Race streets
police station. "If a married man has no
children he will not bo exempted by our
board." said Connelly. "Tho Government
Trill pay each soldier $30 a month nnd a
man can send $25 of that to hla wife. Of
course, a man can appeal to a district
hoard, but lesponslblllty for exemptions In
tuch cases must bo borne by the district
boards. The same holds true of newlyvveds
and men who are In business with their
wives. If a man and wife operate a small
business the husband will not be exempt In
our district."
Connelly's Interpretation of the draft
laws put courage Into other boards, and In
none of the districts were married men
without children given discharges. In
Camden all such claims were held under
advisement, and In Main Line districts draft
offlclals announced that they would con
laer each claim upon Its Individual merits
