local Boards
The exemption of the physically
unfit or members of religious bodie3
opposed to war will be made by local
| exemption boards, which have al
ready been appointed.
In pussing on the question of ex
emption of men for occupational
causes and in hearing appeals of
men with dependent families the
i services of appellate exemption
j boards will be called into action. One
| of these boards is to be appointed
i for each judicial district.
No inkling has been given as to
the part to be assigned to those who
i are to be granted partial exemption
1 because of religious belief. They are
' to be freed of the necessity of firing
upon enemy soldiers and therefore
from regular military service, but the
act contemplates that they can serve
lin some noncommissioned capacity
behind the lines and hold them liable
j for such service.
| In such coses the question of phys

Commenting on the letter, the War
Department states that the regula
tion of a minimum height of five
feet and four inches and a weight of
120 pounds is more flexibly applied
than is generally believed. In fact,
recruiting and medical officers have
instructions not to reject any man
who appears to be a "good risk."
Men under 21 are given an allow
ance of weight and height, and "ban
tams" who display the fighting spirit
and bodily fitness of the barnyard
warrior are welcomed into the army,

1 inferior size.
