FOURTH DISTRICT GREATLY
DELAYED FOR THE DRAFT

Unless some of the drafted men vol
unteer to go the fourth district will
furnish no men for the first five per
|cent. to go to the training camp, at
the present time. This is due to the
fact that the exemption board at Me-
tuchen certified the names of the first
fit men to be examined too late for
the district board to choose the first
men to go.
The fourth district board has many
more names to certify, but Is unable
to do so because 1t lacks q typewriter
to make list of the men to be certi-
fled. AS soon as these lists are made,
which may be In day or two, the
board will certify additional men to
the district board at Trenton.
