1T MEN CALLED INTO SERVICE


Hundred Called-Another Hundred
Being Examined Today-Mobiliza-
tion Regulations
Up to date the army exemption
board of Robson district l has GER
tilted for service to the eastern DIS
trict board lit men for the army.
One hundred and fifty men were OBJ
tanned from the first call for $50
ton and 27 ps men were nsr OBTAINED Obtained
from the second hundred men sum
moned, liability numbers 361 to AGO,
inclusive. Today the 100 men mott
fled to report last week are being ex
amined. These include liability num-
bers from 461 to $50. It is expected
that 10 or Is per cent more than the
quota for the district-18O will be
obtained from this last 100, this ex-
ira per cent being necessary to al
low for any who may be exempted
by the district board, for those who
have taken or are taking training
at Fort Oglethorpe, and for any 9TH
er reasons.
Plans for mobilization have been
changed by an order sent to local
boards on the 9th inst. The order
states that the congestion of traffic
that will be entailed in the early part
of September by movement of the
national guard into training camps
make it inadvisable to attempt to
move any large percentage of the ma
tional army on September 5. For
this reason the War Department has
made the following schedule of move
ments of the national army to the
provost marshal general:
= Five per cent of the quota of each
State beginning September 5, 40 per
! cent beginning September 10, DO per per
cent October 3, the remaining Is per
, able.
/ The object of calling per cent is
to place in the camps enough men
assist in receiving and assimi ilating
son it is required that local boards
r send only white men, and so far as
practicable that they send men with
some military experience, or cooks
2 In making this selection order mum.
D bers are not controlling, but great
/ care must be taken to send men whose
