LIST OF DRAFT QUOTAS.

Certification to the various county
boards of enough men to fill the re-
spective quotas for the third call,
which started moving to Camp Zach
airy Taylor, Wednesday, has been
completed by the Third District
Board, in session at Lexington, and
the lists in each instance telegraphed
to the county boards. No quota will
be taken from Bourbon county on
this call.
Chairman Prichard stated that the
District Board would continue the
work of investigating claims for ex-
emption on occupational grounds, and
the appeals from the decisions of the
lower boards, so that they might be
ready when the next call comes. Con-
sideration of the few appeals from
men in Paris and Bourbon county
which have not yet been decided, will
not be taken up for several days yet,

ALL DRAFTED MEN WILL NOT BE
EXAMINED.

The proposal to examine for mill
tary service all men registered for the
army draft and not yet called was
killed, for the present, at least, We'd
nesday, when the House and Senate
conferees eliminated an appropriation
for the purpose from the war def
cheney bill, the conference report on
which was promptly accepted by the
Senate.
This plan was suggested by the Pro-
vost Marshal Generals office in or
der that every registered man might
know whether he was liable for SER
vice, and if so, the actual order of his
liability. The War Department asked
for expression of opinion from the
Governors of States, and only two
signified disapproval.
Secretary Baker said recently that
the Department had reached no de-
cision in the matter, and would not
until Congress had acted upon the
proposed appropriation to defray ex-
penses and thereby express its will.
In passing the deficiency bill the
House included the appropriation and
the Senate added an amendment linn
iting the men to be examined to the
number soon to be needed. The con-
ferees eliminated the whole provision.
Their report will be adopted by the
House.

out a roll call.
More than two and a half billion

measure, which has been in the max
ing since last April
AS finally drafted after one of the
longest and most strenuous strug-
giles in Congressional history, the

the Senate after months debate
September 10, draws principally upon
incomes and war excess profits. AS
passed by the House it totaled
$1,868,000,000 and the Senate raised
it to $2,416,000,0O0. The conferees'
draft increased the total assessment
by about $75O,000,O0O over the
House and $128,000,0O0 above the
Senate
The bill now is estimated to raise
about $850,000,000 from incomes,
corporate and individual, and about
from war excess
profits. Other major levies are $780,
100000 on tobacco, about $275, 00O,-

1916 incomes and a general 1 per
cent. tariff levy, were features of the
evolution of the bill.

Rev. r. Quarles, of Paris, known
to fame and some fortune as an evan
gelist, exhorter and author of the
dramatic presentation of "The Prodi-
gal Son." is DESTROYS of doing his bit

was conditionally accepted, but he
has not been called upon yet to do
the work.
Rev. Quarles sends the following
communication to THE NEWS, hop
ing thereby to gain the greatest pub
licity for his project:
paris, KY, Oct. 4, 1917.
"Rev. R. Quarles, of this city, has
decided to get 100 men in Bourbon
county and drill them twice week,
especially for home guards, to take
the place of National guards when
they are withdrawn from the State.
Rev. Quarles says it is not necessary
to wait in these perilous times, for SO
or 100 well-drilled men while the
crisis is facing us are worth 1000
undrilled men in the time of war.
He wants to have a drill twice a
week. He is very patriotic TO his
country, and says it is no child's
play, but needs sacrifice on the part
of every man, woman and child.
War is at our door now. want to
ask my colored brothers will you
meet the call for this great emer-
gency? Now give this matter serious
consideration and meet me at Frank
Jones' grocery Monday evening,
October 8, 1917.
