The second call to the colors has
been made and 1906 more men will
be examined beginning Monday
morning and following on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
The same rules will apply and the
same board will be on duty again
for the three days and although the
examination will be practically the
same, it is believed that lesser num-
Der will be rejected because Of GER
tain changes in the regulations.
Notices are already in the post
office for a number of those called,
and before tomorrow the entire num-
Der will be mailed and the men will
then appear. The ones sent out first
are the first day men or the usual
435, and all must respond.
The rules are that the notice being
mailed to the address given is suf-
ficient notice to a man and if he fails
to appear and can give no good ex-
cuse he will be certified as deserter
and dealt with accordingly.
The responsibility is on the man
himself. The board is not required
to do more than post the list and
send the notices Further than this
the men are responsible entirely.
The examinations today are in full
swing. Some are being re-examined
and others who failed to appear on
the three days are having their
chance now. After today it will be
too late and they will be certified as
deserters to the district board and
their cases dealt with later as the
law requires.
