A patriotic programme will be given by the graduating class for the Junior Red Cross Auxiliary m the assembly hall of the Central School Thursday at 2 P. M. and 8 P. M. In the evening the service flag, con taining 70 stars for former students of the Central School, who are now in some department of the country's serv ice, will be unveiled. Seven of 11 class 1 registrants ex amined yesterday for exemption board No. 9 were found qualified for military service. An eighth may be so classed, having been held for further examination. The result of this examination puts new, aspect upon possibilities of the I draft in sifting out men for the United States Army. Of 24 men previously examined for board No. 9, only five, or Must above 20 per cent, had been found physically fitted for duty. Draft offi cials had begun to speculate over the possibilities by such a proportion of physical unfitness, particularly in view of the fact that the number of class 1 men for Oregon is estimated at HtUo more than 10,000. Few Found Physically Unfit. Further optimism relative to sturdy physical condition of registrants was brought out by reports from iJr. Hunter I Wells, on 29 examinations of Ispruce division and ordnance class applicants. He found only three of the 29 appli- I cants for Induction into the Army dis qualified, 26 being found physically fit. few of them splendid specimens of manhood. One rugged citizen. Shepherd by name and a resident in Portland divi sion No. 2. especially commended him self to the physician, both because of his fitness and his wish to get to the trenches at the earliest opportunity. I Mr. Shepherd lacks but a fraction of an inch of being six feet tall and weighs 1178 pounds. He has waived all claim to exemption. His wife patriotically I acquiesced in his determination to "set in the front ranks." More Registrants Summoned. Dr. Canfield's report yesterday for Board No. 9 showed but one registrant wholly disqualified for military duty. Two of the 11 men examined yesterday were designated for special military service. One is fitted to serve as a telegraph operator, another as a machinist. Disabilities which are most frequently I putting Class I men off the active military list and into the limited serv ice group, the physicians say, are de fective eyesight, old injuries and vari- I com; veins. The Government now offers free sur gical treatment and hospital care for such Class I registrants as would be put in good physical trim by elimina tion of minor defects. This week, it is expected, several of the Multnomah Qpunty boards will be gin examination of men for the draft. Board No. 7 has called its first con tingent for the tests. These are to re- I port on Wednesday. SEVERAL ALIENS ARRESTED Deputy Marshal Kinds Number of Germans Near Waterfront.
