NEXT 40 CALLED FOR EXAMINATION Cumberland County Draft Boards Believe Many More Needed to Fill Quota Carlisle, Pa., Aug. 10.—Calls for the the next forty men on the lists to report for physical examination Monday have been sent out by both draft boards in Cumberland county. The fear that even this number, in addition to those already called, will not be sufficient to yield the needed totals make the calling of about a hundred more in all in each district seem sure. Heavy claims for exemption are cutting do.vn the eligibles who pass the physical tests. The majority of these are on the grounds of depend ency, but several have been put In on conscientious grounds. Others ask immunity as being ministers or divinity students. One man claimed physical defects and still another that he was under weight, had de pendants and was a borough officer. One man turned down lost an eye in the Spanish War. Another waiting in line told other men that he had practically every ailment that is cause for exemption and was then passed as a nearly perfect specimen. The order to publish dependency claims has already brought some re sults. One man \yho passed, al though having a wife and three children dependent upon him, did not seek exemption, but his wife saw the list and immediately put an end to his chance of seeing service in France. The following is the result of the examinations in district No. 1 yester day: Accepted—Edward G. Vogelsong, Mechanicsburg; Howard R. Hlnkle, Enola; Benjamin P. Mowery, New Cumberland; Leroy O.
