DISTRICT DRAFT BOARD
WORKING DAY AND NIGHT
Vigorous Efforts Being Made to Ger.
tify Lists for Quota OF
September 10.
HOW CITY's UNIT WILL TRAVEL
Railroad Facilities to Be Taxed to
Utmost to Provide Equipment.
List Is Certified to Local Board of
Division No. 8.

Not all of the Virginia quota of the
40 per cent of drafted men will be able
TO report at the mobilization camp at
Camp Lee on September 10. This is due
to the inability of the railroads to sup
ply the accommodations to get them
there in time. However, since all OF
the boards are given five days of grace
from the tinc when tho men arc sup
posed to report to camp. mono Of them
will be considered delinquent.
The 40 per cent quotas of Division
Boards Nos. 2 and 4. and Of Henrico
County will leave the Main Street ST.
ton on the Seaboard Air Line Septem-
September 20 at T:42 A. NJ.
The quotas of Division Boards Nos. /.
3 and S leave from the Byrd Street sta
ton over the Atlantic Coast Line on

20 at Sol a. NJ.

DISTRICT BOARD Is
WORKING DAY AND NIGHT
Working Day and night, the District
Board for Eastern Virginia is fast COM
plotting its work OF recertifying the men
that must go in the next draft call on
September l9. and in a few DAYS the
entire 40 per cent of the men will have
been certified to the local boards. So
FAR the district board has had little
trouble in disDosing OF all the claims
for exemption before 1t, and is con-
tinuing he same policy OF careful
scrutiny of all tho claims
brought before 1t.
Ihough there is nothing to hinder the
work OF the district board, some OF the
local boards are experiencing n bi, of
trouble because they are unable to sun
ply the necessary number of white
men needed in this draft. The local
board that seems to have the greatest
burden on its hands is local hoard I'm
Division No. 5. Enough men have been
certihed. but many of those are colored
and since the call is for white men only
IN this quota. the board Is at n loss 70
know what TO do. The only thing that
can be done Is for the board either to
send less than its quota or borrow n
certain number OF men from another
division to make up the full quota.
TO send less than it's quota would be
violating the order from the war De.
partment; therefore. the board will have
10 borrow the necessary number Of
men from another division, making I'M
the absence in the call expected TO he
MADE Tor colored men ten DAYS or two
weeks later.
