LAST CONTINGENT
NOW At CAMP LEWIS
COUNTY COMPLETES QUOTA By
SENDING ~ MORE MEN
FRIDAY.

Twenty-seven young men regular
ly summoned and two others who
had failed to report when previous
ly notified, composed Thurston coun-
tvs last contingent on the first draft
call, who went to Camp Lewis Fri
day morning in automobiles driven
by various local citizens.
The county now has supplied its
full quota of 141 on the first call
issued by President Wilson under
the selective conscription act, and
no more will be sent from here until
the next draft, expected early next
spring, unless some of those in the
last contingent are rejected for
physical disability by the army sur
geons at tho camp.
Exception is also made of the six
deserters for whom search is now
being made, and the 106 others out
of the first 1000 summoned who
failed to appear for physical exami-
nation. These will be sent to camp
as rapidly as taken into custody,
providing they are physically quail
fed, their failure to report to the
local board at the specified time hav-
ing lost for them the right to claim
exemption on any ground and made
them liable for service Immediately
upon apprehension. Il
The county's last contingent was
given as rousing send-on as their
brothers who preceded them, only
one feature of the former celebra-
tions, the parade, being missing. In
lieu of this, however, the men were
favored with something their prede-
cessors did not receive--a rafting
good lunch.

fed by the local board to report at
the courthouse at 9 o'clock Friday
