MARIoN's SELECTED MEN

Following is the list of the men
chosen by selective draft in Marion
county. The drawing began yester-
day morning and ended at 2:18 this
morning, and it is owing entirely to
the public spirit and enterprise of the
Associated Press, and the forethought
and hard work of our own force, that
we are able to give the list to our
readers so quickly and completely.
There are probably few errors, but
not many, and all will be straighten-
ed out in a day or so.
AS a result of the drawing every
registered man is given a definite
place in the liability for service list.
Already 687, 900 have been ordered to
the colors to fill to war strength the
regular army and National Guard and
to constitute the first increment of
the national army. To secure that
total 100000 men will be called for
examination within few weeks, esti-
mating that two registrants must be
called Tor every Soldlef accepLeo.
These 1,374,00O will be taken from
the head of the liability list, every
local district furnishing fixed quota.
Marion county's quota of accepted
men is 142, and it is probably that
the first 300 or $50 men on the list as
published below will be called to pre-
~.
board within the next ten days for ex-
animation. If necessary, to obtain
the 142 men, another lot will be called
for examination.
The entire list of Marion county
registrants will be published in the
Star from day to day in the order Of
fbai,. liability

FRENCH STAND FIRM

While military interests centers in
the east, where the Russians are hav-
ing real disaffection in their own
ranks, the western front commands
attention, as the crown prince is still
trying to shake the French lines. His
troops succeeded in penetrating the
line at some points last night, but
when the fight was over it was found
that the French maintained their po-
sitions. The British still continue
their raiding tactics.

 "The second case" said MT. Doug lass, twas of man. When informed that Uncle Sam was getting into tight place and needed a little 'en- couragement said he guessed that he wouldn't come in. I don't think that his case was one of conscientious scruples, but just one of high regard for small change.
 'The last case was that of negro. He barely had the four bits neces- sary for the seat and the jitney asked for by the government ,%as not to be found. I don't think that the war tax is having very much effect on our patronage as the public realizes that it is not a source of extra revenue to the theatres, but that we are only act ing as an agent of the government in the collection of the money"
