The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1917-07-27

the first contingent of Valley county
men to answer the call of the gov
ernment, made through the drawing
Friday, will appear before the county
exemption board within the next two
weeks. From this squad, 279 men will
be selected, in the order in which their
numbers were drawn, to compose VAL
ley county's quota in the great army
which is to be raised through con-
scription.
Following instructions received
from the provost general, the exemp-
ton board will count off enough
names, beginning at the head of the
list drawn in the draft, to obtain ap-
proximately 200 per cent of the quota
assigned to Valley county, which num-
bers 279. Therefore 558 men will re-
ceive notice to answer the first call.
If this number, on account of exemp-
tions or discharges, does not suffice
to provide the county's contribution to
the ranks of the army, the number OF
names necessary to complete the
quota will be selected from the list
following the group first taken.
The official list of numbers drawn
has not yet been received, but is ex-
pected daily. AS soon as the list is
received, the board will issue notices
to the men holding serial numbers
corresponding to the 558 first drawn,
ordering them to present themselves
before the board at specified time.
According to reports, the men compos-
ing the first third of the list or 1876
men. will probably receive orders to
appear before the exemption board
five days from the date that the no
tices were issued. The second third
will probably be directed to appear
six days after the notices are posted
while the last third will likely be
ordered to report seven days after
the first call is made.
The next step to be taken, before
the general question of exemption o,
discharge is to be considered, will be
the physical examinations of the mer
drafted, which will be conducted by
, DR.. A. N. Smith, physician of the
board. If drafted man is discharged
. because of physical disability, it will
not be necessary for him to present
any further claim for exemption o.
n discharge, as his rejection upon physi
cal examination eliminates the consid
y Grafton of any other causes of exemp
. ton or discharge. A certificate O.
. discharge, which gives the holde
complete exemption from any furthe
call, will be issued to any man foun'
I. physically deficient. Any man VIII
. has been notified to appear for physi
cal examination and fails to do so o.
or before the tenth day after tn
. mailing of the notice directing him t.
. present himself, will be recorded a
. physically qualified for military ser
I. vice.
=. Now that the selections have bee
made, it is up to the drafted man t
! note his liability on the list, to Sc
= whether he is up for an early physics
examination.
1t is the duty of the local registra
p ton board to notify the drafted me
- in each district, but it is up to tn
drafted man to see that he gets hi
- notice. If he does not receive tn
- notice promptly, he should call on tn
~ board for it, and if he does not RI
-, ceive it in response to the call,
y would probably be better to repo1
for examination, on the days specific
y, by the board. But he should insi!
70 on receiving the notice which will te
him when and where to appear fl
N examination. The drafted men will
it called for examination in the order
which their names have been draw
