pare their papers-the "question-
naires' that must be completely filled
out by each man Of the draft as these
papers are mailed out by the Clerk
OF Court and other members Of the
Local Board. Last Saturday per
cent of the questionaires were mailed
out by the board, and on Monday an
other per cent were sent through
the mails. This policy will be fol-
lowed daily until oil the men Of the
rers that will enable the departments
to properly classify them for the call
to actual service.
The local Bar Association will give
its time and attention to the men Of
the selective draft free Of charge.
They have, so to speak, been draft
ed" for this service to the men and
to the government, and there Is no
compensation for them. Everybody
must serve somewhere, and the law

men In the matter of filing out these
new papers.
Others also will serve. among
them body Of young ladies who will
compose the clerical force. Mrs.
Jesse w. Rankin, Miss Lola Kauf-
mann and Miss Julia Maxwell have
been appointed committee to secure
volunteer help among the young
ladies. and they have gone actively

nature TO these papers is necessary,
and the bringing Of the wife when the
papers are made out will do away

trip for her to sign the affidavit.
The Court House will be arranged

comfortably the drafted men, the
clerical force and the attorneys.
Chairs. tables, writing materials,
etc., will be provided for the accom-
modation of all.
