ARMY DRAFT MADE
IN Washington
LOCAL MEN DRAWN
BELOW is GIVEN A LIST OF THE
LOCAL MEN WITH ORDER IN
WHICH DRAWN

The men from Belding and the sur
rounding country who registered for
war service on the call from the
| president now know who are to be
drafted and in what order. Those
| whose numbers corresponded to the
| first 248 drawn at Washington, and
who are not exempt, will go with the
| first army. Those whose numbers
were drawn after the first 248 will go
with the second army. The situation
in Ionia county is this: The county's
quota for the first draft was 292.
Volunteer enlistments amounted to
168 men and credit is given the coun-
ty for these, leaving 124 men to be
raised by draft. The governments
estimate is that half of the men
drawn will be exempt, for various
reasons, so to obtain 124 men twice
the number, or 248, have been draft
ed for immediate service. The man
whose number was the 249th is kept
in reserve for later call, as will
those following consecutively. In
this way drafted men can determine
| the order in which they will be called.
All must appear at Ionia for physi-
cal examination as soon as notified.
| Exemptions are attended to after
that. Each drafted man will receive
notice from the county clerk and
should await this, instead of appear
ing before formal notice is sent.
