Exemption Board Expects to Secure
Men for First Training Camps
With Plenty to
Spare.
FIRST ONE NEXT WEEK
Orders From Logan Are That Thirty
Per Cent VIII be Moved to
cantonment First Of
September.

From present Indications, unless
there is drastic change in the draft
rules, Lee county's quota Of 243 men
will be chosen from the first $50 men
called. Chairman Scott OF the ex.
emption board, who was in the city
today, said that the board Is now
finishing its consideration OF the
first $50 men. and that he believed
the first quota from this district
would easily be taken from the first
75O examined.
This would leave practically 200
men in reserve and to draw from
when the second call is made. It IL
evident from the way the board talks
that there will be no further exam
nations at this time.
So far as the local board is con-
cerned 30 per cent Of the drafted
men In the first quota will be sent
to Camp Dodge September 3. The
board has received orders to send 30
per cent the first time. No orders
had been received up to Saturday
concerning the change in plans to
send only five per cent. A number
OF local men are clamordng for places
in the first bunch to 90. Just how
this contingent will be picked is not
stated by the board members.
With the quota being secured In
the first 75O there will be plenty in
reserve 1t Is believed, to lake care
of 10 per cent which it is figured
may be rejected at the cantonment.
Examining physicians for the local
board do not expect to have many of
their men returned, since they were
thorough and conscientious in their
work.
No change IN regulations concern
ing the exemption of married men
has been received by the board mem
bers. This suggestion came only as
such from the president, and unless
the provost marshal or the war de-
partment makes any change. the
boards action in regard to Lee coun-
tvs benedicts will stand.

TITLES ONLY
FOR SERVICE
Members Of Red Cross Units Who
Have Titles Must Save Them
Until They Get to Europe's
Battiefieids.

Henry P. Dawson, as chairman OF
the war council of the American Red
Cross, authorizes the following:
The war department has author
lied certain military ranks and titles
to be conferred upon officers and rep
resentatives of the Red Cross, when
they have occasion to go into foreign
theatres Of war.
The plan has been adopted be-
cause under the abnormal conditions
now prevailing in Europe actual ex-
perience has shown this to be neces-
sary.
these military ranks are In erect
exceptional passports, giving Red
Cross officers working in the theater
of war unquestioned opportunity to
move about freely and thus to per.
form their functions.
The war department authorizes no
officer Of representative of the Red
| Cross to utilize any military rank or
title in the United States. Such com
missions, even In the theater OF war
will carry no pay, and all rights,
privileges, or military rank conferred
! on any Red Cross representative as
such, will expire Immediately upon
his leaving either the theater OF war
or Red Cross service.
Nothing in this plan changes the
character or status of the American
Red Cross, its officers. or any OF its
members.
The American Red Cross is dis
tinctly a non-combatant civilian or
ganization. Its character as such
will be jealousy guarded as one of
its greatest assets, and It is the
policy of the Red Cross to discour-
age assumption by It's representa-
tives of any relationship or activity
which does not harmonize absolutely
with its distinctively civilian charac-
fer

FIVE DAYS TO
GET TO CAMP
Iowa VIII be Divided Into Four DivIs-
Ions and 1000 viii be Moved
Each Day.

The first one-third Of Iowas 1919
men for the first national overseas
army will begin to arrive at Camp
Dodge Wednesday, Sept. 5.
The state will be divided into four
general divisions for the movement OF
the conscrpts and the men from the
southwest quarter will probably be the
first to arrive. Five days will elapse
before the entire first increment OF
about 1000 men are in camp. This plan
REQUIRES the movement Of no less than
], 900 men each day.
Governor W, L. Harding today 70
ceiyed official instructions from Gen.
eral Crowder covering the plans for
the troop movement.
The second increment will be trans
ported In like manner beginning Sept.
30. The third increment will arrive
in October and the remaining ten per
cent some time later.
It Is estimated that the cost Of NOV
ing the conscipted men will be $751;
900. Governor Harding believes that
IS man is the general average Of fare
that will be paid by the government
IN bringing the drafted men who have
been certified for service, to the can
Torment.
Money for fares VIII be sent to eacn
local exemption board and transporta-
ton purchased by the members OF
these boards. The vast fund for trans
portation will probably be handled
through the office Of the adjutant gen.
eral, to whom copy of the provost
marshals order has been given.

directly to Camp Dodge and not to
