c. DuNHAM, Esq, EDITOR HAwK-EYE:
Will you please publish for general infor-
nation the suhjoined table of quotas for the
different suh-districts, and the amount of
credits for enlistments? These credits in
clude all enlistments made by the Provost
Marshal's Office up to this date as also all
those OF the various recruiting offices, up to
January 3lst. While the figures sent To-day
to the press in Keokuk were only an APP
prox imation, the following are the actual
quotas.
The entire quota of the LIST Congressional
District under the 500, 900 calls, is 1857.
Against this we have credits given the dist
trict at large amounting to l,546, leaving
the deficit 81 liable to deduction as below.
We presume the enlistments in the Sth and
9th Cavalry, and 4th Battery, are embraced
in the above credits OF 1915.
Each sub-district can see at a glance how
many men are required to avoid the draft.
All enlistments made up TO March lst will
be credited TO the sub-dlstricts i'll which the
recruit is enlisted. AT that date the mu-
niticent bounty of the government ceases.
Let US make a united effort, and the entire
quota can be raised in the next five days
and the lsl Congressional District viii have
the proud name of filling every call of the
President, without resort to draft.
