THE GASTONIA ETTE PUBLISHED EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY. VOL. XXXVIII. NO. 77. GASTONIA, N. C, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 10, 1917. 92.00 A YEAR IN ADVANOB. 2116 WERE ACCEPTED OUT OF 428 OKIY 375 HAVE REPORTED Expected That I-arge NiinilxT of tlie 20(1 Accepted on Physical Examin ation for Ih-afted Army Will be Exempted Because of Dejiendents Some Iteiorted as Failing to Ap pear Have Since Come Up for Ex amination Exemption Hoard Has Largo Task. Of the 428 men summoned to ap pear for physical examination Tor ac ceptance or rejection for the drafted army, 375 are reported as having been examined. Of this number 169 ' were rejected as being physically un fit, while 206 were accepted as be ing physically fit. The exemption board has not as yet compiled the figures to ascertain just the percent age of these 20 6 who are claiming exemption but it is stated liiat the percentage is very large.&ost or the men who are claiming exemption have already filed their claims and the board will begin shortly the work of going over these claims and passing on them. Of the who failed to report at the time specified in each case, several have since CP ported and have been exau.:neu "out their names have not as yet been posted. The most or the failures to appear are the resiWt of ignorance is the belief of the board. It is known that in some instances the registrars failed to take the addresses or a registrant and for this reason It nas been impossible to get notices to some of those who were registered among the first 4:.'8. It :s not tne belief that any considerable number of those summoned have deliberately stayed away. Those who have done so will doubtless find themselves shortly in the hands of a United States Marshal. As stated elsewhere in today's Ga zette the board has summoned 200 more men. making a total of 6-S in all. It is altogether probable that it will be necessary to summon sev eral hundred mor before Gaston county's quota of 214 is finally se cured. -cx.v AteIjx.;;1;. v Joe FloySTctf r&e& Gastmtfa.: Julius Trousdale Sadjer, uastonta.

S mailed out yesierday Notices were by the Gaston County Exemption board to 200 more men to report Tor physical examination for the drafted army. The first 100 are to appear Monday and the second 100 Tuesday. These lists are printed below. Following the receipt this morn ing by the board of new instructions from Provost Marshal Crowder, which make some alterations in the original standards set for physical fitness, especially as regards weight and height, it is very probable that a larger per centage of men will be accepted from these 200 and from subsequent installments or men call ed out than was the case with the first 4 28. It is altogether probable, also, that quite a good many of the first 428 called who were rejected will yet be accepted, as the board was ordered to go over the records of all the men thus far rejected and pass on them again on the basis of the new regula tions prescribed. 4 29 No. 271)."., Frederick Carl Mauney, Bessemer City, R-l. 4 30 No. ;i405, Waddell Hardin, (colored ), Gastonia. 431 No. 24.j4, Henry II.
