SECOND CALL FOR
MEN NOT ILLEGAL
CIRCULAR LETTER FROM J. VAN
HOLT NASH CORRECTS FALSE
IMPRESSION.

Some of the newspapers of the
state and thousands of people have
gotten the impression that the second
call for men for the national army
was Illegal and, would not stand, and
this is erroneous.
A day or two ago a circular letter
was received in Brunswick from Gen
J. Van Holt Nash explaining the sit
uation. The letter is as follows:
Reports received concerning a few
local boards are to the effect that
these boards are proceeding to call
throughout the whole list of persons
registered then to certify up only
those who claim no exemption, re-
gardless of whether their order of OBJ
legation places them within the quota
leaving the claims of exemption I'M
decided or merely formally allowing
all of them without discrimination In
effect this purpose permits volunteer
ing among the registrants. This
method is illegal and unauthorized
All regiStrants stand in an equality
before the law except as the law de-
crees an inequality The law DEGREES
an inequality only when exemption
boards, after properly exercising their
functions, have granted exemptions
or discharges. Furthermore, the meth
cd results in calling men for military
service out of their order"
The Glynn county board has select
ed no men for the national army ex-
cept those in the order they were
called for service There has been
no indiscriminate selection of men
throughout the whole list, regardless
of the order in which they were
drawn for service.
