NOW CLASSIFIED
Complete QUESTIONABLE Published
Below for Convenience of Those
Drafted

County Auditor Wollthan is about
the busiest man in town these days,
and in addition to his regular office
work he is spending a great deal of
time in connection with the selective
draft system. He expects to start
soon on the sending out of the ques-
tionnaire to all registered man in the
county who have not yet been called
into service.
This QUESTIONABLE is very lengthy
and contains questions which every
service must answer. Even those
who registered and were exempted
have to fill out the blanks.
There are about 500 of these ques-
tionnaires to be sent out in Stevens
county and the work will be started
as soon as Mr.. Wollthan receives his
official notice from the government.
He expects the work will take sew
eral weeks and it is likely that some
of the attorneys of Morris will give
a day or two and assist him. There
are so many questions to answer and
the blanks are so hard to understand,
that Mr.. Wollthan plans to notify
each man to appear at the court
house on a certain date and some
body will be on hand to see that the
questions are answered properly. Be
low we publish the QUESTIONABLE in
full and each registered man would
do we'll to study it over:
The QUESTIONABLE is a pamphlet
of sixteen pages, ten of which are de-
voted to questions. The questions
applicable to each man must be an
swered by him, and failure to answer
subjects him to fine or imprisOn
ment up to one year, or may result
in his immediate induction into mill
tary service.
The five classes are defined on
Page 1 of the QUESTIONABLE. After
the men have answered the questions

five classes, and his eligibility to
service will be determined by the

Der was drawn.
