CLASSIFIED BY
BOARDS

Total of 100 Men Subject
to Draft in Boise and Ada
County Given Position by
Questionnaires.
Classification Shows Their
Relationship for Call to
Colors When the Second
Draft Goes Into Effect
Soon.
The classification Of registrants I'M
der the draft law both in Boise City
and Ada county started with the re-
turn of the first questionnaires and
there are at the present time a total
of SO of them classified by the city
exemption board and 81 by the county
board, making a total in all up to date
of 100. The classification is of the ut
most importance for it shows the re-,
lationship of the drafted men to ac-
tual service in that those in the first
class will be called first to go into
mobilization camps when the second
draft shortly goes into effect; those in
second class are next in preference,
those in the third class and so on IN
til the five classes are exhausted.
ABRoGATE APPEALS.
OF the 81 classified by the Ada
county board, % represent registrants
who have been classified because Of
the agricultural pursuits they follow
and are sent to the district board to
determine whether or not the classifi-
cation given them by the county board
will stand before the district board.
The war department having abro-
gated all pending appeals and tempo
rary discharges, men who were dis
charged under the first draft will have
to again fill out their missionaries,
take the physical examinations and be
modified if called to the colors. One
instance before the district board
shows that where man had been
called under the first draft, passed by
the board, sent to Camp Lewis, re-
jected because of physical disqualifi-
cations and returned to Ada county
he is again required to go before the
district board.

boards are classifying the question
