Exemption Board Soon to Send Out
Classification List to Boys.

The questionable" or blank of 16
pages the exemption board will soon
forward to the registered men of this
county, is now in the hands of the
county clerk.
The classification embraces five di-
visions and is intended to cover every
possible instance Each man will have
seven days in which to make answer
and his reply will determine which
Of the five classes he belongs in. On
the basis of the verified replies the
five groups will be called in their or
der.
1t is said that General Crowder will
ask congress to draft all men who have
reached the age Of 81 since the last
registration. 1t is estimated $1,000
have passed the age since that time.
General Crowder does not know him
self when the second draft will take
place but next spring is probably the
time.
Congressional permission is not
necessary for the second draft. The
work will go forward rapidly when
the word comes as the new methods
promise to materially tighten the
work of the boards. Under the old
plan about five men were examined to
get one for service. Under the new
plan these figures will be reversed
not more than one in five will fail to
pass.
