drafted men who are awaiting call
tc entrain for Camp Dodge may not
go for long time, according to
the capitol today, and business men
who are in need of extra help are be-
ing asked to provide employment for
the men who quit work to entrain
October 3, but have not yet gone.
No change in the rules with re-
gard to the classes of men to be
drafted will be made until all of the
men under call are in camp, tele-
gram to the Third district board of
appeals from General Enoch Fl.
Crowder, provost marshal general,
announced The Third district
board will have to review only the
cases of certain married men ex-
empted by local boards before the
troops entrain.
Members of local boards discussed
the advisability of asking the gov
ernor or the adjutant general to
wire Washington for permission to
provide the drafted men who are
out of employment and out of funds
with food and clothing while they
are awaiting the call, just as men
who enlisted in the navy were pro-
vided for during the waiting period.
Lack of transportation facilities
between Des Moines and Camp Dodge
is given as General Plummer's rea-
son for wanting no. more men at the
camp now.

DESERTER IS TURNED
LOOSE; U. S. HAS NO
USE FOR SUCH men

H. c. Johnson, captured in Be-
midi as a deserter from the United
States army, has been released upon
order from Capt. Ned M. Green OF
Duluth, head of the recruiting IN
this division, he having received the
order from Washington and in turn
notifying Recruiting Officer Gar
ence Foucault. Johnson deserted
in 1918 from his station on the "a
cific coast and has been at large
since. The government said 1t MAD
no use for one of Johnson's stripe
in it's military.
The deserter had been held in the
county jail since his arrest. There
is a reward of $50 paid by the gov
eminent for the arrest and delivery
.of deserters. The officer who would
deliver Johnson to Fort Smelling
from Bemidji would have to pay MS
own expenses and that Of the pr's-
oner to the fort, and his own return
ing, which expense would practically
"eat up" the $50. No one cared to
do so and Johnson was turned loose.

LOAN TOTAL WON'T Be
KNOWN FOR DAYS YET

Washington, Nov. 2.-Indications
are that the total of subscriptions to
the second Liberty Loan will not be
available this week.
Yesterday was the last day on
which banks may report subscrip-
lions to Federal Reserve banks, but
officials do not expect final reports
from the reserve banks for several
days.
In several Federal Reserve dis
tricts, it is understood, actual sub
scriptions have failed to reach the
total estimated subscriptions upon
which the treasury department based
it's prediction recently to the effect
that the $4,000, 100000 would be
exceeded
There is every indication, how
ever, that the total will approximate
$4,000, 100000. an oversubscription
of $2,OOO,OOO,00O Of the minimum
asked for.
