Men Will be Leaving For the Can
tenement Right Along, Begin
ming on September S

The Iron county board having charge
the examination and sending forward
OF the drafted men from this county
will be busy for some time now get
ting the men away.
County Clerk Wall received the first
transportation and meal acquisitions
last Monday and Is expecting definite
orders every minute on just how the
mobilization orders will be carried
out.
The list of names OF the men TO be
sent forward has not been sent back
from the district board as yet, but may
be received today. The local board
cannot summon the men until they
know exactly what has been done with
the appeals that have been made
Men VIII Assemble Here.
Under the new regulations the men
are 10 be dispatched to the camp in
quotas of per cent beginning Sept.
5, instead OF 30 per cent as previously
order. Ten men only, according
to these regulations, will leave Crystal
Falls on Sept. Z, and ten each day
thereafter until the FIRST 80 per cent
have been sent
The men will be summoned 10 as
semble here on certain dates, the
names being taken in regular order as
Hthey appear upon the called list
Zone man will be appointed to take
charge OF each squad, and to him will
be given the transportation and meal
tickets.
The men will be under military rule
' the moment that they are modified
here and must obey orders both OF the
board while in camp here, and OF the
man in charge while in transit
The men will be furnished with
transportation and for each is a meal
ticket in triplicate. Meals are limited
TO go cents. II the recruit wishes TO
eat more than that sum will buy he
must pay for the excess out Of his
own pocket.
Ought 10 Turn Out.
The city authorities of this city
ought TO give the matter OF giving the
boys proper farewell attention.
These men are going TO war and some
OF them may never come back. They
are going in answer to the call Of their
country and II Is but fitting that they
should be given the same considera-
tion that was given other men who
went from here.
The proper thing would be to call
mass meeting and make arrange
ments at once as there will be plenty
OF work TO do from now on.
Iron county's 30 per cent amounts
TO about 20 men so that there will be
seven days OF this leave-taking As
CnaIor portion OF tic called men come
Mofl Iron River and Stambaueh il f.
quite probable that many Of our
neiehbors from those places will be
here each day. Let's do somethingl
To Facilitate Traffic.
The new order, while II has not yet
been received here Is looked upon by
members OF the local board as having
been inspired by a desire to interfere
az little as possible with the regular
schedules of the railroads and TO en-
able the officers properly to equip and
house the men on their arrival.
May Learn French.
wben the men 60 TO the Battle

army: they will get healthy diet and
mode OF life OF the soldier and at 10
same time they will be able 10 con-
tinue on their own initiative, such
work as they feel viii be necessary
for their success in life when the war
ends.
