TWELVE MEN TO

Officials; . '

; Twelve Omaha men wrongly gent
. to Camp Funston by local boards are
' to be reclaimed by the district board
and returned to their families, offi
cials of the district board announced.
... "The sending of these men has
, workeffan absolute hardship on those
. dependent upon them," a member of
the board stated. The men were sent
, to service by order of the local boards
contrary to the recommendations of
the district boards atod after their
r cases had been reviewed and the men
, I certified ba.:k to the local boards as
exempted." , ' ' -
Deny on Technical Grounds.
The local boards, however, ignored
the reviewed cases on a technical
ground. "We are glad that we shall
be able to remedy - these obvious
cases of injustice where hardship has
been done through a merely technical
error in procedure said the speaker.
The. Third and Fourth Omaha ex
emotion boards, are the men respon
sible for sending the men to camp.
They certified the men for service and
the men appealed to the district board
who also denied their exemntinn
claims. Later upon more reliable evi-
oence the district board reopened the
cases for review and found that the
exemption claims were worthy. They
were allowed, but the local boards re-
tnsedto act upon the review on the
technical ground that no permission
for reopening the cases had been se
cured and the men were drafted and
ent to Funston.
: Untangle Red Tape.
In view of the fact thatt these men
were found actually , to have depen
dent families who were suffering
- from the absence of the men jn quesj
tion the district board immediately
began untangling ihe, red tape and
now reports that the men will soon
be returned to their former occupa
tions. - y ' ,
The district board convenes again
tomorrow to act upon the exemption
claims of the last IS per cent of the
first draft, which is to be called soon.
