In6 pTONOsb MdISndII SSuSIdl uhs issued specific instructions under which one third of the national army quota for the whole country will be mobilized for duty between September 1 and 5.
 Of interest to the men who will be called, the following facts are given from the official regulations.
 District boards will daily certify back to local boards men held for ser vice. such men will be those originally certified to the district boards and others whose appeals from local boards or industrial exemption claims have not been allowed.
 Local boards will then instruct men whose names are returned from the district board, to hold themselves in readiness for call to service at a time and place to be announced at subse- quent date.
 The mailing or posting of the above notice to the men will be sufficient and those not reporting will be held for military action.
 On notice from the Provost Marshal General, the Adjutant General of the State will notify local board of the number, time and place of men called.
 The local boards will fix the time and place for assembly and will issue a call to the men. The men living at distance will be recorded and provi. sions will be made for their lodging and meals between the hour of "re- treat rollcall", which will be at 5: 80 p. m, on the day before eutraining for camps, and the actual time of entrain- ng. All of the men will report at rA- treat roll call at 5 80 the day before entraining. The roll will be called and the men will receive final instructions.
 The board will grant town liberty for the night to those desiring to spend the time at home. Others will be taken to the places assigned for their lodging and meals. All men will be advised of the hour of entraining on the follow ing day and must report promptly at the office of the board. The assembly on the day of entraining will be 45 minutes, plus the time required to get to the station from the office of the board, earlier than the actual leaving time of the train on which men depart.
 Men will be allowed to take with them only light bundles consisting of toilet articles and a change of under. N clothing. This is strict rule and must be observed .r5
 Five men more than actually called will be summoned as alternate, but will not be considered in the military service until they have actually taken the places of absentees.
 One person will be placed in com mand of the men for each division and will be responsible to the adjutant at the camp for which the men are des. tined. It will be the duty of this per son to see that the men have proper accommodations; that they do not leave the train enroute to the camp; that they are not supplied with liquor and in general to carry out without mill tary forplality, such duties as would fall to any company commander. Such persons must have advised the camp headquarters six hours in advance of tant the men in his charge together with required reports.
 All of the meal tickets, lodging tick cts and railroad tickets will be pro. vided by local boards for their own men.
 At camp the physical examinations will be held and no board will be credited with having filled its quota until the number forwarded and ac- cepted is met.
