District Board revokes decision.
The district board has changed the decision relative to the petitions of four men of this county, two from Mediapolis, one from Burlington and one from West Burlington. 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.
