IDAHO COUNTY AFFECTED
LIABILITY to Summons for Var F1cd
Under New Plan Reg ardless of
of Order Number.

The five announced classifications in |
to which the men awaiting army draft
are to be divided, under the new regu |
iations recently approved by President
Wilson, have become public much be-
fore the time planned by the provost
marshal generals office.
1t is thought the new plan will prove
much more satisfactory than the one
used for the first draft, in selecting
men for future increments of the
national army.
Idaho County's First Draft.
This plan will be used for the first
draft in idaho county, which probably
will take place during the coming win
ter Publication of the classifications
will give registered men an idea of their
draft places, which will be governed
by their usefulness to their families and
TO the community in which they reside.
1t will be seen that a single man
without dependent relatives, though his
order number may be near the bottom
of the draft list, will have a splendid
chance of being called under the next
draft ~t Fl
