THE DRAFT.

After every man between the pre-
scribed ages has been registered; after
the physically unfit have been eliminat
ed and the others who are needed more
at home have been excused, then the
boards consisting of the sheriff, clerk
of courts and ply stefan in each county,
will attend to the duty Of drawing BY
lot the names of enough men to fl
Names quota in the great army. The
Boards will also draw the names OF q sci
of alternstes who may be called when 9
man selected first Is rejected for any
reason.
The registration cards prepared by the
war department will require the appli
cant or registering officer to state full
details regarding the age, residence
employment, physical characteristics
etc., of the person registering. Each
one will also be asked regarding those
dependent upon him for support, and
will be asked u be claims exemption
and II so, on what grounds.
Estimated on the basis of population
without knowing anything about the
exact requirements of the law, the frs
draft of half q million men will take
about $50 from Oxford County, and
some AZ or IS from the town of Paris.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1917-05-22
CLAIMS FOB EXEMPTION.

After the other questions have been
answered the clerk in charge OF tbs
registration will ask each man II be
wishes to claim exemption from military
service. The Registrar must enter upon
the card the reasons q man gives fol
thinking be ought not to serve. On the
reasons given at that time will be based
the procedure later, when the claim is
investigated. Some persons will be e1'
empt because of the kind OF work they
are doing, some because they have chill.
dren or other dependents whom they
must feed and clothe, and some because
they are already in the military or naval
service.
While the class from which soldiers
are to come is to be segregated by draft,
the law is careful to provide for avoiding
the misery that war brings to depend
ents at home and for q choice of those
whose military service the Nation most
needs and whose civil and domestic ser
vice can be best spared.
