The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1917-07-27

vice from Lne yOuuS HSA DcL"ceA 81
and 30 years of age, inclusive, who
we're registered on June 5, was made
Iaer Friday in Washington; in the
counties of Maryland the results of
this. probably the most stupendous
and fatefuI lottery in human history,
were accepted in regular American
fashion.
OF the approximately 100000 men
registered in Maryland, 1872 were
nickad through the draft-lottery for
the quota Maryland will be called up
m to furnish for the first army. Dou-
ble the necessary number was called
because it has been estimated that,
taking the country as a whole, about
one-half of those called will be exemp-
ted for one reason or another; it has
been calculated that 20 per cent. will
be exempted for physical reasons.
After the exemptions shall have
been made the necessary number of
men will be mustered into the service
of their country. This business pro-
bablv will be finished within few
weeks at the outside. The work is to
be rushed.
II is probable that each board will
notify the men within it's jurisdiction,
who have been drafted, to report.
However, each drafted man should
understand that he is obliged to re-
port, whether he has been notified by
the board OF not Each drafted man
should make it his business at once to
ascertain the names of the members
Of the board in his jurisdiction and
where their office is, and report to
them at once. They will have the
physical tests made. If you are found
TO be physically qualified and file a
claim for exemption within seven days
after YOUR call you will be given 10
days after filing your claim of eXemp-
tOn TO file proof in support OF your
claim Of exemption. Assuming that
man passes the physical tests, and
neither raises nor has raised against
him other exemption claims, he will
be passed for service. He will be notl-
fed in due time thereafter where and
when to report.
1t should be understood that every
man who was enrolled on June D
about 10000 in Maryland and about
l0.000,U00 in the United States-was
uIdllGu SUBJECT W Cdlly CclSA DCAAS SA'
en- a uOsitiOn in the order of liability
for service.
1t may be that the 1896 men, Mary
lands actual quota, will be gained
without going completely through the
14,l4z: if SO, that will be because there
We're fewer exemptions than expect
ed
For example it happened that No.
2@> was the first number drawn in
Washington; the man holding that
number in each unit in Maryland and
throughout the land is the man first
subject to consideration by the board
OF his Jurisdiction.
