CANTON'S ERROR
IN DRAFT FIGURES
CAUSES GOVERNOR cox's RE
CALL OF ALL QUOTA
SHEETS.
Ohio WILL RECEIVE CREDIT
Assurance Given BY Washington Au-
thorities That Extra Quota Placed
on State Now Will Be Taken From
the Next Call.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Enthusiastically forced the re-
call of the quota draft sheets sent to
the district boards throughout the
state. While the call was general and
created perfect furore in many local
tiles, yet it was of relatively minor
Importance.
1t was due to the Stark County Elec-
ton Board having made purely cler-
ical blunder in tabulating the military
population of Canton and the county.
By this mistake the county was given
a fictitious draft of 1927 men, and,
because of the system followed, it was
impossible to detect the error until
after President Wilson had fixed the
total Ohio quota.
Governor Cox would not consent to
redistribution of the 1927 men which
had been eliminated from the original
quota until given definite assurance by
wire that Ohio will have credit in the
next draft for the excess in this one
due to the Stark county inaccuracy
This assurance was given by wire and

came from Washington to adjust the
error.
When the error first was discovered
| Governor Cox discussed the matter by
long distance telephone with Genera
| Crowder at Washington. The under
standing at that time was that the ex
cess might be eliminated in this draft
but it was found this would overturr
the tabulation for the entire United
States and lead to difficulties which
could not be overcome
The Stark county excess, therefore
will be distributed throughout the va
rious districts of the state. 1t is wronI
to believe that the entire apportion
ment has been overturned through tn
elimination Of aliens, as suggested b.
Congressman E. R. Bathrick, of Akron
The general recall gave currency t
this idea. The fact is that this actio
can not be taken without an amend
ment to the conscription law, and !
never has been considered seriously

"He who makes of himself an uplift-

Ledger 1t is much cheaper to soothe
and heal a wounded soldier than to
pension his family.
Erecting monuments at Gettysburg
and Valley Forge is well enough fifty
or a hundred years after the events,
but n dollar for the stricken soldier
equals a hundred dollars in marble
over his body.

thing an ordinary insurance policy
does not do.
Wipe out Philadelphia's hospitals
and how many more persons will die
every year? Doctors tell me the num-
Der would be many hundred.
Deprive the battle front of hospital
facilities and the death rate will jump
enormously. So your Red Cross dollar
is out upon practical errand-not a
