there are $3.50 men subject to draft

ages Of IS and 80 years. Idaho's quota
under the draft bills in the original
call for 100000 men will be one to ev-
cry 20, or approximately 1850 exclu-
sive of the members of the National
Guard who are now in the federal SER
vice. The strength of the Idaho Ma
tional Guard today actually under
orders is 1000 officers and enlisted
men.
The above census will be increased
II the house age limits Fl to 40 years
are adopted. 1t will be decreased If
the senate recommendation OF 81 to
~ is accepted. It Is believed that the
final bill approved by congress will
so arrange the minimum and maxi
mum ages az to allow the above cen
sus to stand in round numbers. In
Guiding the Idaho National Guard tho
first call for IdahS's quota would
place $3.50 mon under arms in this
state.
BARRACKS REMouNr STATION.
Adjutant General c. S. Moody does
not believe 1t Is at all probable that
the Boise barracks would be used as
a concentration camp under the new
law due to the fact Boise is not CEN
trally located and the transportation
facilities are not on a par with those
that are furnished by main line of a
railroad. He believes that the bar
racks would, however, make an ideal
remount station for the cavalry and
that It will be used for that purpose
later. 1t Is well fitted for the train
ing and quartering Of cavalry horses,
he says. At the present time it is the
designated mobilization post for the
Idaho National Guard.
