ANOTHER APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT FROM
The Third appellate board resuméd
tlitir work of passing upon exemption
claims yesterday. The board has
caught up with the large amount of
work that was before them and are
devoting a large part of the time to
routine matters.
Christian K. Nissen, cost clerk, U.
M. C. Company, has appealed to tilt:
President from the ruling of the ap-
pellate board. when they upheld the
lower board's denial of his claim for
exemption. The appeal has been for;
wairdcd to Governor Holcomb, who
will present it to the provost marshal
general’s office for consideration by
the. Presidem.
Conditional discharges by the dis-
trict board now extend into the fu-
ture as far as April 5, 1918. Sev-
eral were granted,dlschnrges until
this at the meeting of the board. A
number of claims and appeals were
denied.
Norwalk Man Discharged.
in the case of Chester L. Lawrence,
of Norwalk, the board has discharged
the applicant. Lawrence applied on
the ground that he supports aged and
infirm parents. He was recently dis-
charged from the United States Naval
Res‘orves for the same cause.
in Board 13, the case of David Ba-
bas. who asked exemption on the
ground that he is engaged ln agricul-
tural pursuits. no affidavits were filed
and the request was dented. Babns
was up near the top of the list with
a serial number 18 and his order num-
her 184. The case came through in
the minutes of yesterday’ meeting.

prospect of a prompt
agreement reached.
