SIX NEVER ANSWERED CALL--.LAST
CONTINGENT FROM CARROLL sent
LAST MONDAY.

On Monday of this week six more
men were sent from Carroll county to
Camp Meade. This will probably be
the last contingent to go, with the
possible exception of two or three
more who may be needed to take the
places of some who prove to be phys
ically incompetent.
The total number demanded in this
draft was 142. In order to supply
these men the board called and eX-
amined 894 men, with the following
results:
Six men, the following, have never
answered their calls, and are on the
Stacker list:
John Edward Smith.
Fred Bee, colored.
Dominick Damelio.
John Radcliffe, colored.
Gustav Arthur Marie,
Ernest Roy Buckingham.
These men are classed as deserters
from the United States Army, and
when apprehended will be dealt with
accordingly.
The 894 examined produced 1913 men
accepted for service. OF these accept
ed men, IL were married and 1877 were
single. OF the rejected men, 480 were
married and ZIG we're single. Of
these 1913 men who were accepted, 154
were sent to camp and of this number
10 were returned for physical disa-
bility. Their names are here given:
Ollie Ray Haines.
Paul B. Wagner
Harry F. Evans.
Charles F. Rohrbaugh.
Franklin A. Brilliant.
Reginald Clabaugh.
Frank T. Hoover.
Frank c. Fritz.
Herbert Yingling.
Riley S. Williamson.
Two men were not credited on this
draft, as they had previously enlisted
with other outfits. For these two
men, however, Carroll county will be
given credit in the next draft. They
are:
William III. Masenheimer.
Truman A. Bloom.
The local board had no jurisdiction
concerning claims for exemption
based on employment, such as agricul-
tural or other industries, but dealt
solely with questions Of physical abil-
ity and dependency. Agricultural
and industrial claims were decided
by District Board No. 2, at Annapolis
The names OF the persons who were
thus discharged by the District Board
follow:
Robert J. Bennett.
Chester nj. Nusbaum.
Claude G. Armacost.
Ralph E. Bennett.
Robert K. Shipley.
Frank c. Poole.
Robert IT. Shriver.
Alton G. Wilson.
John Nj. Shank.
The case Of e. Ray Englar is still
pending before the District Board
having been reopened on appeal. That
Of James Mes. Shriver was appealed
to the President of the United States
and has not as yet been decided.
The next draft will be under the
new regulations, and preparations fol
it will begin about December 18th
The method of selecting the men has
been changed and the classification
will be largely accomplished by means
of missionaries, which will be mail
ed to each registered man in the
county, and which are to be answered
and returned to the board.
The board feels highly gratiffed
with the spirit of cooperation that has
been shown by the men called. The
responses were prompt in almost eV-
cry instance, except in the cases OF
the 6 men who are on the Stacker list
Every man notified to report for mill
tary duty appeared on time. No man
from the county appeared drunk, and
no man from the county d1sgraced
the county in any manner during the
trip from Westminster to camp.
