TAMPA BOARD MUST Be
STRONGLY GERMAN
Anyway it Holds Back FlOri-
da COnscripts Without
Reason.

Word comes from Washington that
the War Department has been obliged
to change its plans in regard to south
era environments because of the few
white men conScripted in comparison
with the negroes. The white men
are not as numerous as was expected.
What about this?
In Putnam county out of a quota
of l2l men, but 43 were white. Word
came that these men must be sent TO
the cantonment at Columbia, S. c., in
three shifts-the first on Sept. 7th,
the second on Sept. 18th, and the third
on oct. Sd. Have they gone. Not
by Il D. S. considerably.
Seven men were sent in the first
instalIment, Is in the second and none
in the third. As a matter of fact
every one of these men should have
gone into camp on the 18th of Sep
tember. when the government asked
for 10 per cent of the county's quota
Had every white man gone the cOun-
tv would be still short of its 40 per
cent. Of the 43 white men from
Putnam county only 25 have gone.
What's the matter?
There are eighteen young men in
this county who were told to get ready
to leave on a two days notice. They
cot ready, but the notice hasn't come
to them. Some of them gave up po-
sitions and are simply waiting and
paving their board. They are ready
to go. Most of them have made no
claims for exemption.
The trouble is with the district
board at Tampa. 1t is working so
blamed slow that one is forced to
think it is working in the interests of
Germany. =,
1t is also working under darnphool
regulations. 'Frinstance. Putnam
county board is required to send the
names of every man conscripted from
this county to the district board in
TAMPA and send them WHETHER
THEY ASK EXEMPTION OR NOT.
The Putnam county board is not al
lowed to send men to the cantonment
whose names have not been certified
back to it by the district board.
The local board is tired; it is more
than tired it is disguised. When
a man asks exemption at the hands
of the local board, then makes ap-
neal. there is reason why his appeal
Should go to the district board. But
when a man neither asks exemption,
nor appeals from the local board,
there is no reason why the local board
should not send him to Columbia and
let him begin his army life.
If other counties in Florida have
the same trouble with this district
board that Putnam has and is having,
it is no wonder that the war depart
ment i. disappointed in the number of
