ASKED APPEAL TO PRESIDENT

According to press dispatches from Laporte, w r here ,the district examiption board is in session, John Kaufman of Union township had taken an appeal to the- president on the grounds of dependency. However, this is erroneous. Mr. Kaufman did ask an appeal on the grounds of religion and the same was denied, therefore he announced his willingness to submit to the draft but has asked that he be assigned some work as a non-combat-ant, and it is quite probable that this will he done.
