The second day of examinations for the draft army saw no increase in the number of rejections than was made Monday. One hundred and eighty men had been summoned to appear today and the physicians were busy putting these men through the tests, following tho same modo of procedure" as was engaged in yesterday. Although a majority of the men have so far passed the physical ex? amination, it is understood that prac? tically two-thirds of those passed are claiming exemptions and have put in their claim in due time. The local hoard will have to review a great many of the claims before final action is taken. In addition each man so far found physicrlly lit will have to have his card carefully scrutinized by the head physician, Dr. J. A. Mood, before he is given his physical dis? ability exemption certificate. Tomorrow the last quota of men will bo examined by Drs. Wilson, Ba? ker, Stuckey and Mood. They have be?n notilled to appear at 8 o'clock in Ulf morning. It is expected that some uf those who have not answered the cull yet will appear on the final day.

Just an Incident of Christian War. Amsterdam, Aug. 7.?Dutch news? papers print in a parallel column with an account of the murder of the crew of the British steamship Belgian Prince a Berlin telegraph announcing the following extract from a pastoral letter read in all the Protestant Churches of Berlin last Sunday: "We will comport ourselves as Christians towards our enemies and conduct the war in the future as in the past with humanity and chivalry." The pastoral letter was read at a SCrviCQ which Emperor William and the German empress attended at the cathedral. It exhorts the people to humanity, and recognised the hand of God in the protection from Invasion which the fatherland has enjoyed. The British steamship Belgian Prince was sunk July oi by a Ger? man submarine. According to sur? vivors who reached a British port, the u-boat shelled the vessel and the Ger? mar, commander then ordered the crew to take to the boats and go alongside the submarine. The Ger? mans, the survivors assert, removed the life belts and outer clothing of all the members of the crew except eight, smashed the lifeboats with axes, and then reentered the submarine and closed the hatches, leaving the men on deck. The submarine traveled on the surface for about two miles and then submerged. Thirty-eight of the crow were drowned. Three others were rescued by a patrol boat. It is rumored that Capt. R. T. Brown, the capable ami efficient com? manding officer of tiu> Sumter Light j Infantry, is to be transferred to ihe headquarters of the (Southeastern di visu n at Charleston, there to become paymaster of that division.
