These men had been exempted by the district board on vocational grounds, but now they have been accepted for military service, and the granting of exemption upon an appeal to the president is the only chance they have of escaping military service in the new national army. They are as follows: Lawrence A. Dehner, Horace W. Kirkendall, Arthur J. Wunnenberg, Harry A. Nelson.
