EXAMINATIONS COMPLETED
Board Will Complete Examination of
First 300 Called This Afternoon.
The examining board have been
busy this week examining those
drafted for the first army. Dr.
Gilligan has been assisted by Dr.
Douglas, of Atkinson, and Dr. Wilson
of this city, and the work has been
pushed right along. The examining
of the first three hundred called will
be completed today and then the
board will take up the matter of ex
emptions on account of dependent
relatives. It will take them probably
the balance of the week to pass upon
these claims.
That the young men of Holt county
are in splendid health is attested by
the fact that the rejections, on account
of physical disabilities, will not ex
ceed ten per cent. About sixty per
cent, of those examined have asked
for exemptions on account of having
dependents and on account of agri
culture.
About forty of those called have
enlisted in some branch of the service
since the registration. Those who em
listed since June 30th will not be
credited to this county for this army:
but we will receive credit for them in
the next draft.
I,t is probable that there will be
another hundred called forexamination
to make up the county’s quota for the
first draft. If they are called the next
call will be for those from 301 to 400
inclusive.
