8 APPEAL BOARD IS RAPIDLY UNWINDING RED TAPE TANGLE Reports From Draft Boards Coming in Better Shape; District Committees Progressing With Work; No. 2 Calls Three Hundred More; Don't Know Yet Who Will Go First From Here The situation at the headquarters of the District Appeal Boitrd of the Middle Judicial District is at last be ginning to cssume a clearer aspect, liver since the drafting started in this district the work has been more or less hampered by the lack of in formation and the detail necessary in order to solve the problems that were confronted. So much apparently unnecessary "red tape" has to be cut that the district board and the locetl boards are at a loss as to the correct way of procedure. As stated before, many of the names certified by the local boards were laid on the table on account of their being improperly presented. This trouble is practically cleared up and the district board is setting out to rectify all the other worries. Added information is being sent to the local boards and this is expected to help matters to such an extent that when clamis reach the appeal board all that yill be necessary will be their action. Don't Know Who Goes As the time is rapidly approaching when the first of the drafted army will leave their respective homes for Camps Meade and Lee It was hoped that by to-day some Idea of the men who will be the first to leave could be ascertained. However, owing to the complications that set In at the start and the large amount of work necessary to clear up the matter, the "Who's who" of the vanguard of the new army could not be learned. It Is certain, nevertheless, that on Sep tember 5 the three divisions of Dau phin county, those at Steelton, Pax tang and Elizabethvllle, will send some of the 5 per cent, required, and the remainder will follow wlthlp the next few days or before Septem ber 9. This state of affairs is the result of the rules laid down at the beginning of the drafting. To-day at the Capi tol the district appeal board received the reports of the three divisions of Dauphin county. These rpports will have to be acted upon, and as each claimant has ten days In which to file exemptions It will be' September 8 before the board renders its official decision. While things appear that there is a possibility of not sending many men away by Wednesday, mat ters took a decided turn upon in vestigation. At various boards sufficient men have been certified and reported to the district board to In sure the 5 per cent, necessary and more. Th names that have been reported are those of the jnen that have been passed and who have refused to claim exemption. The majority of these men have expressed their desire to be among the first that are sent awa> In many In stances the various boards have re ceived communications from some of the successful cartdidates nsklne when and where they would report on September 5. Nearly each letter received stated that the candidate was ready at any minute to set out for the training camp, and as one writer stated, "I am eager to take a wallop at the Kaiser, so let me In Ice Is First Class Insurance The food in your refrigerator represents an expenditure of several dollars. For a small sum invested each day on ice you protect that food, absolutely, keeping it pure and wholesome for many days. The condition of your foodstuff is wholly dependent upon proper refrigeration. They must be kept cold. It is economical to buy ice in large amounts. The increased weight enables you to reduce the tem perature in the refrigerator and because of the low temperature the ice melts slower. It is well to have ice—it is much better to keep the ice box filled. Use ALSPURE ICE. We recommend it for the sick room because it is made from water that has been filtered, boiled, reboiled, skimmed and again filtered. United Ice & Coal Co. PomtM Cowdcn St. A "Regular" King Is KING OSCAR Sc CIGAR '9 Because he rules with favor. You will find him always the same and always pleasant. John C. Herman & Co. On Top For Makers 26 Year* FRIDAY EVENING, on the first bunch." As this is prac tically the sentiment of the majority of the men that Jiave passed and re fused to claim exemption, the chances of Dauphin county doing its bit on September 5 are bright. Nearly everything is in readiness at the various local boards for send ing away the men. The boards have received the necessary Information and have been furnished with all the details that go with the departure of the first contingent. Get Meal Tickets The men of this first contingent will be provided with government "meal tickets" to purchase food while waiting to start for Camp Meade and while en route to Admiral. These slips are addressed to hotel and res taurant keepers, dining car con ductors and those in charge of sta tion lunch counters. They call for 60 cents' worth of food each and guarantee that the slips will be redeemed for cash by the quartermaster general's depart ment. These slips are practically the same as federal bank notes, as they have the pledge of the government oil the back of them. At the headquarters of the Dis trict Appeal Board in the House caucas rooms at the Capitol this morning, clerk of tjie board, Robert Free, was literally "up to his neck in work" preparing the numerous re ports received from all the lpcnl boards in this district. The ma jarity of the board have sent in the list of their certified names and these will have to be prepared for the action of the appeal board at its meeting Tuesday. Ninety-three names from divisions one and two of Dauphin county have been certified. In these two divisions twenty-three men are to be sent with the flrat contingent. Mr. Free stated that so far fher.e was only one board that has sent in the certification of its full quota. That board was from Sny der county and meets at Middleburg. In this division the quota neces sary was four. Sixteen men weic called in sections of eight before the four were secured. The draft board at Mt. Carmel, Northumberland county, furnished the diversion from the general routine of the day. In this district there were many claims for exemption on the grounds of de pendants. The majority of the board allowed the claims but one member filed a minority report. In it he stated that he did not favor the ex emption of many of the men on the grounds that they were married af ter the draft law went into effect in the early part of May. Whether or not the appeal board will act on the minority report is uncertain. Second Board Moves to City The local boards of Dauphin coun ty are gradually nearing their re quired quota. At Paxtang this morn ing, where the draft board of division two meets, forty-seven men were ex amined. To-day marks the final day of examining the 250 men who were called under the second call issued by the board. To-morrow the board will close its headquarters at Pax tang and will move to their new quarters in the Dauphin building at Market Square. Thursday the board examinee) forty-six. Of this number thirty-four passed, twelve claimed.no exemption, while twentw-two signi fied that they were going to file claims; twelve were rejected. This board certified sixty-six on August 29 and was the first board to file its report witw the appeal board. Dur ing the next week the board will not hold any examinations but will pre pare a detailed report of all their work. To-day the third call for 300 more men was sent out and thes-3 men will report as soon as the board sends out notices that it will start examining them. It is expected that they will begin the week starting September 9. Some Want to Go Now Chairman Arthur H. Bailey of this boards stated this moning that he did not know just who would be in the first contingent to leave this city on the fifth. Many of the men who did #ot claim exemption have written to him asking that they be includ ed in the first sent. One man wrote from New Jersey expressing an earn est desire to be sent away first. First Boarl ( loaning Up At Steelton tho work of the draft boar 4 is being carried on with rapid strides and by to-night the last of the second call of the first quota are expected to be examined. To date offlolal reports of the exami nations of the first 517 men have been received. Of this number 156 have been accepted as passed; 114 are still under adbisement while the rmalnder 270 have been discharged as physically unfit. To-night the examination of the last of the 400 men of the second call will con clude the work of the board which Is not expected to call any more men. The names of twenty-seven men were certified by the board and sent to the adjutants office in Wash ington were picked at random and sent in order that sufficient number might be in readiness to leave with the first contingent. The Bethlehen> Steel Company has served notice on the Board that they will only claim exemption for ten men. These claims will be made for industrial purposes. Whether or not the ten men are among those sent in the list of cer tified names, or whether or not they have been rejected or are still un der advisement is not known. The board to-day examined 30 men. Six did not pass; 13 claimed exemption, and 11 did not. After to-day the board will commence to act on the exemption claims and it is not very probable that any more men will be called. In Mighty Bad Shape When Is a man fit for military service or when is he not? Is the question that Is bothering a man who was drafted from Cumberland County. Walking into the head quarters of the Appeal Board, said man stated that he was unfit for duty although the doctors that ex amined him passed him as physi cally fit. "Those doctors don't know what they are talking about," said the man. "I am troubled with cronlc maestoditis, chronic rheumatism and heart leesion. I have also other minor trouble, but still those doc tors say that I am fit. What I want is another v examination that is all." In spite of the fact that the man was positive he was unfit from the latest report the best he can hope for is a general's job at the training camp. Analysis of the 4 list of slackers given out yesterday morning by the .District No, 1 Draft Board with headquarters in the Electric Light building, 49 North Front street, Steelton, shows that 98 per cent, of the names belong to foreign born and colored men, now residing in that borough, and that the name of but one American born white man appeared on the list. The latter, whose name was given a3 Harry Tuptanosky, residing at 613 North Third street, Steelton, ia not a slacker, but is an enlisted man, having enlisted shortly after he was registered in June. Neither Harry, nor any member of his fam ily notified the local board of this fact and when he was summoned for physical examination and failed to appear, his name was placed in the list with other borough slackers. First to Go The draft board of division three which meets at Elizabethville to day sent in the list of the men who have been sent pink tickets and arc requested to report September 5 aa the first men to be sent from that district into the new Army. This board is the only board in Dauphin county that has made a complete list of the names of the men who are to be first sent away. The list of the men to go are as follows: PercS' A. Swab, Elizabethville; Ho rner L. Paul, Williamstown; Lloyd E. Enders, Elizabethville; John J, Cooper, Halifax; Charles E. Evit's. Millersburg; Oscar J. Clauser, Wil liamstown; Pierce Holzman, Fisher ville, and Leon Cooper, Powls Val ley. These men will report at the Dau phin building in IVlarket Square arjd from there they will be sent on their way to Camp Meade where they will be' enrolled in the United States Army. This district is required to send seven men with the first con tingent. Leon Cooper has been named as alternate and will be on hand in* case any of the others>can not be ready. The board has ceased examining and is at present busy preparing reportH for the appeal board. Ex nminations will be continued on Tuesday when sixty will be called. The board will then await the de cisions of the upper board before calling any extra men. Four hundred aijd forty men have been acted upon to date. Call 300 More The draft board for the second dis trict, with headquarters at Paxtang, to-day issued a third call for 300 more men. This brings the total number for this district up to 867. Thursday 66 men had received no tices from the second district board that tftey had been accepted and that they should make preparation to leave soon for the training camp at Camp Meade.
