The Army Draft

The drawing of numbers for thu
selective draft for the United States
army was made at Washington or
Friday.
According to estimates for New Jer
sey, as made by Adjutant Genera.
Barber, Burlington county's quota
after making deduction for those al
ready enlisted and for members of the
national guard, is 424. The full allot.
ment for the county vas 760. From
this number was deducted the enlist.
ments already made, amounting tc
1886, leaving a balance of 424. The
quota from.the first district is 141; I'd
district, 143; Sd district, 14O.
The deduction for those already en-
listed was made not by townships but
by counties. Northampton township
probably would have been almost or
quite exempted if the township plan
had been followed, as it already had
furnished a number of men for the
national guard and other branches of
the service.
The first number drawn was 258. In
this district that number is represented
by Frank ID. Stewart, an unmarried
man employed on the farm of Joseph
w OOllCot uL1OClOOtI OOnh SnlDs
The first number to apply to North
ampton township was 854, Robert J..
Wood, of the third election district.
The men who will be summoned be-
fore the district exemption boards will
be notified by mail in about ten days
to appear at a specified time for physi-
cal examination.
1t is incumbent upon the men Sc
lnnfn1 hArvoxvar ~ nCnnrfnfp- ruh0n
they are wanted, as failure to receive
the mailed notice will not be accepted
as a excuse for non-appearance.
After reporting for examination
seven DAYS are allowed for the filing of
affidavits and claims for exemption or
discharge.
The men in the first call will not go
to camp before autumn.
1t is intended to summon for exami-
nation in each district twice the num-
Der of candidates required to supply
the number wanted. Therefore 282
will be sent notice to appear before the
district board here. If that number of
202 will not furnish the 141 men on ac-
count of physical defects or by reason
of exemptions, then additional persons
will be summoned until the quota is
obtained.
The first 282 names in the list pub
lished in this issue will be those sum-
moned.
The list here printed was made up
from the reports telegraphed from
Washington by the Associated Press.
In the transmission of the thousands
upon thousands of figures a few errors
were made, consequently about half a
dozen numbers were duplicated and a
corresponding number of names,
therefore, do not appear.

The J.. S. Rogers Company, Of
Moorestown, is erecting even build
ings for the Y. NJ. c. A. These build
ings will be for the use of the soldiers
as places of recreation, reading rooms,
etc.
Twelve of the army motor trucks
went to Kalhach's lumber camp, near
Mount Holly, on Thursday afternoon,
and loaded up with 2x4, 2x6 and AXIS
lumber for use in constructing the
buildings on the camp ground. The
contractors have had trouble in getting
those sizes of lumber.
There has been trouble, to a certain
extent, with intoxicatfon among the
enlisted men at the camp. When on
short furloughs some soldiers have i'm
bibed too freely. The liquor, 1T is re.
ported, is bought by the bottle by
some friends and then given TO the re-
cruits. The principal places where in
toxicants are thus obtained are alleged
to be on the road from Wrightstown 10
Trenton. The local dealers have dis
continued the selling by bottles and
are not suspected of furnishing liquor
to the soldiers.
II this practice continues, the govern.
ment will not only close all bars with
in a radius of two miles of tho canton.
ments, but may go to the limit allow
ed by law, namely, five miles.
There was a strike among the car.
penters, on Thursday, due primarily tC
the quality of food supplied at the
cafeterias by the contractors. The
carpenters are all union men, and they
selected Charles Chalkins, of Elmira
N. Y, as chairman of a grievance
committee. He went among the mer
to learn their complaints about th'
food. The contractors. thinking that
Chalkins was a disturbing elementan
was trying to foment trouble, discharg
ed him. The strike followed, and al
the gangs but one quit work. Tn
next day the discharged man was rein
stated, there was a promise of bette
food. and the strikers went back t
] work.

Florence knocked Forbes out of the
box in the game here, but it could not
repeat the performance on its home
grounds. 1t has the credit, however,
Of giving Mount Holly its first shut
out in two years.
Charley Peacock was moved up in
the batting list, coming second. 1t
was not any better for him, however,
for he reached first on a ball which
Forbes had the choice to throw either
to first or second and he chose the
latter.
Jess Foulks, still feeling sore at
Mount Holly, wanted to get back in
the game so badly that he played with
Florence without a cent Of pay. He
had two chances in the field, both of
which he accepted but he was not able
to get in any stick work. 1t must
have seemed queer to him not to be
calling, That's working Wee-wee."
Shemelia put up a great game at
third. He took a hot liner from Jess
Foulks' bat and made a beautiful left
hand stop of a hard driven ball, get
ting it to first in time to retire the run
ner.
Morgan had Sweeney worried in the
fourth inning. He was running for
McCue and reached third. Three
times he started to steal home while
Sweeney was winding up. Twice the
batter made a foul which Sent Morgan
back and the third time the batter
struck out. In every instance Morgan
would have scored safely if Devlin
would have. allowed it.
Moorestown got its first bump Satur-
day when it played Delanco. Berner

were made and the game was won
Eddie Williams, Palmyra team beat
the All-Stars, of Philadelphia, Satur-
day, by the score of three to two. 1t is
said that Eddie writes the report of
his games for q Philadelphia paper.
At any rate that paper, in its report on
Sunday, gave a glowing account of the
brilliant plays made by the Palmyra
sporting manager. Eddie has given
notice that he will have to quit the
game and attend to his tailoring bust
ness.

closed in June, Miss Prickett has been
tutoring three children in an English
family residing on Staten Island.
The father has enlisted in the English
army and gone abroad, and the mother

likelihood of this situation being
changed by September, when the
schools open, Miss Pickett applied for

Nearing the house, Dr. Allen encoun
