Drafted Men Who Are
 to Train in Georgia to
 Be Sent to Chamblee

Montgomery, September S.-(Special) Orders received by the state military de- partment Monday provided that Camp Gordon's share of the first call from
 Alabama would be sent to Chamblee,
 Ga, from which point the drafted men will be transferred to Camp Gordon. Be- fore the end of the week per cent of the men selected in the first draft or about 5o5, will be in training at Camp Gordon, near Atlanta, and Camp Pike, near Little Rock
 Specific instructions have been issued by the state military department about the methods to be used by the local ex- emption boards in providing transporta- tion and subsistence for the drafted men while they are en route to the training camps and about the clothing which each drafted man should take for use pending the issuance of his equipment. Under the plan for the division of Ala bama's first draft between Camp Cor don and Camp Pike, Montgomery coun- ty men will go to the Atlanta camp while those of Mobile and Jefferson counties will be sent to Little Rock. This prob
 ably means that AldDtAid quoe1 "AiA
 be in two divisions, as it Is improbable that the organizations will be placed in one division after training.
 Provost Marshall General Crowder Monday gave the state military depart
 ment the plan by which students of the
 medical department of the University
 of Alabama, of Mobile and students of
 other accredited medical schools may continue their studies until they have
 been completed even though they be
 within the draft age Each person who
 has pursued his medical studies at least one year may enlist in the medical re- serve and obtain a leave of absence or an order similar to leave, which will make him available for service in the event he Is needed, but will permit him to pursue his studies until the demands for medical men become too great to
 be handled by the present medical de- partment.
 In other words medical student would place himself at the service of | the government and the government be- lieving a graduate in medicine would be | worth more in case of need, would per- init him to complete his work. Not only will this aid the student. but the gov- l ernlnent will be able to know just how many persons are preparing themselves l for the medical work later If the war continues three years. their services would be needed and the government would know just where to reach him. l The rule does not apply to persons who l desire to begin the study of medicine l now, as many might take advantage of l the provision to avoid military service.

Great Interest Is Being Taken in Mobile School
 Tax Election Wednesday

Montgomery, September 3.-(Special.)
 Geeat interest is being manifested in of
 ficial and educational circles of Alabama
 in the selection in Mobile county
 Wednesday which will determine whether
 or. not special tax of mills shall be
 levied for purlic school purposes under the constitutional amendment adopted last November, which permits a special
 levy by the county
 The election there is of unusual impor- tance to the educational world because
 Mobile county has led the state in things educa tional for many years. Many of the | reforms inaugurated by the legislatrrc | of 1915 have been used in Mobile county | for 15 years under special dispensation. | Mobile countys superintendent Of educa-
 t cn has been elected by the county board of eductaion for several years and l this reform became operative throughout l the state this year. the first sunsrintend- | ents under the new law taking office Oc- l tober 1.
 l Since the amendment was ad ,pteo lart | November, thu levy of mills mas ,een l submitted to the voters of 31 counties. l IL has been successful in 26 and defeated 1 ;n only five. Marshall was the first county to defeat 1t, but only last week reversed itself and gave a maj fly jn 1 favor of the levy. Jefferson ard Mont 1 gomery counties have levied a SD ec.al lax l of mills and the argument for Mobile | county is that 1t may as well affu-d the levy as the other counties similarly slt- l uated. Mobile IS asked only for mills. I Counties which have levied a special 1 tax of mills since November follow: Baldwin. Calhoun. Chambers, Chiffon, 1 Clay, Colbert, Conecuh, Covington, aEl- | more, Escambia, Etowah, Franklin, Ge- l neva Houston, Jefferson, Lauderdale, Limestone Madison. Marshall, Monroe, | Montgomery, Shelby, St. Clair, Walker, 1 Washington, Winston.
 l Escambia also levied a special mill l district tax in addition to the mill 1 county tax, while. Winston levied a mill | district tax in two districts and Franklin
 in two or three These ievies were made l in one year.
 l Counties which have defeated the levy are: Butler, Cherokee, DeKalb, Morgan 1 and Randolph.

Work at Camp Sheridan
 Did Not Stop on Account
 of Great Labor Holiday

Montgomery, September S-(Special.) ) While official Montgomery took holi- day and labor unions held their annual celebration, work continued without ceasing at Camp Sheridan and the gov ernment remount station on Labor Day. As many carpenters as could be obtained were in use and there was call for more.
 Substantial barracks are being erected at the remount station for. the men who will be in charge of the government corral and this indicates that the sta ton will be a permanent fixture. Three sets of barracks are being erected with three buildings in each set. Each build ing. is cut up into rooms. each of which will accommodate two men. Because of the natural drainage from three sides, the proximity to Montgom- cry and the transportation facilities af- forded by the Central of Georgia rail- road, the remount station has been pro- nounced as ideal by army officers It | Is located within three miles of Mont gomery.
