The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1917-11-23

Every drafted man in Burke
county who has been exempted from
the draft is replaced in the class
still subject to draft and every ex-
emption certificate heretofore is
sued is declared revoked by the
QUESTIONABLE" governing the Sec
ond draft which reached Bowbells
yesterday for publication. This
statement is made without qualifi-
cation in the e-instructions. Altho
it was assumed by draft officials
that men who have obtained exemp-
ton once might be in position to
do so again under the new rulings
there is absolutely no statement to
that effect in the questionable"

ed out to every man registered for

pamphlet in which is printed every
question which a registrant must
be asked, to determine whether he
shall serve as soldier. There is
space for answering every question,
together with full, proper forms
for all affidavits and oaths which
must support all claims for, exemp-
tion.

exemptions are revoked is made in
