Mobilization Take s
Place-Depart Tonight.
The Ada county exemption board
proposes to see that an enthusia site
farewell is given the drafted men who
were modified in Boise today and
leave tonight for Camp Lewis. Ameri-
can Lake, where they enter the canton
ment to prepare to become soldiers
and fight the battles of their country.
Up to late hour, although efforts had
been made to stir up a public demon
stration. not much Roadway had been
made, but the county exemption board
hopes late this afternoon to bring
about one that will be just as enthusi-
astic as the last held in this city when
the other 40 per cent Of the quota de-
parted. An appeal is made to the en-
thusiastic citizens of Boise to be pres
ent in person when the boys leave and
prove to them that the goodwill and
God speed Of their fellow men departs
with them In the sacrifice they are
making for their country.
SVNtNNNN LIE Z hWtNGO.
1.-THE members of the Ada county ex-
emption board will hire the band and
pay for it themselves IL that is neces-
sary," said Chairman Atwater today
while he was busily engaged In tele-
phoning to citizens of Boise to work
up a demonstration for the departing
drafted men. I'VE only get about
enough compensation for our work to
pay our expenses but we are going to
have some music for those boys when
they depart If we have to pay for 1t
out of our own pockets"
One of the transfer men who leave
with the Ada county quota suggested
that the drafted men chip In and buy
a big American flag to carry with them
to the train. Following up this sug-
gestion number of those interested
visited state departments to see IL a
flag could not be borrowed.

the men transferred and the Boise
