Portland. Or., August 8. All tli light that publicity can give it to be urned on applicationt for cxemptioi or discharge from military tervice ui der the drait. The United Statet Government be lieves a man's neighbors can tome timet supply some interesting formation as to the real motives be hind an application for exemption or litcharge. So tiie Government is tak ing steps to tee that the neighbor and the putdic generally, have every opportunily to lind out, Ihrotigh th newspapers, what men have asked ex emption, and the reasons they hav assigned for asking for ft. To insure the necessary publicity all local exemption boards, by direc tion of thr Provost Marshal General at Washington, have received posi tive inttructiont from the Adojmant General at Portland immediately make available to the preit the name of all persons claiming exemption or discharge, and Ihe grounds on w-hi such claims are based. If any person hat information con trary to the facts as alleged by th claimant, the government representa tive who usually it the county attor ney w-ill investigate. Ii he finds ihc claimant has wrong fully stated the (acta, the governmen representative will inform the local board and, if necetsarjr, carry the ca on appeal lo the district hoard. Thus the interests of other men wh would be called up for tervice ahead of their proper time in exemption were granted to men ahead of them not entitled to exemption, will be I rotecteeJ. In explaining the reason for ma in this order to local boards, the Provost Marshal said in part: "The names of all registered men are on a list arranged in the order in which they will be catted for military service. Wherever any registered person imposes upon a local board, ?nd improperly secures a certificate of exemption or discharge, he advanc es the time of call of all other un called persons on the list. "For thit reason every registered person and, to tome extent, every person in the community i more or lest directly interested in teeing that the trot factt are brought to the at tentions of the government."
