More Dickinson
Men to the War

Yesterday from the office of Charles
s. Huffman, adjutant general.
For this county. however it Will
mean that over one-half of the class
one list will be taken. Recently
Dickinson sent Al men and at that
time credit was given for many in
ductions. But the local board has
inducted few registrants into the
service since that time so IL is GER
tain that the number of men to go
from this county the latter part OF
June will be between 60 and 70.
This is the largest call ever given
to Dickinson.
The local board has already called
men whose order numbers are as
high as 1850. 1t is believed that the
next call will take men whose order
numbers are as high as 400 or
1900. While no official announce
ment has been made, farmers will
not be taken in the June call.
Abilene and Dickinson county will
be required to furnish S5 men In the
June calls, to go to Camp Funston
and Camp Cody. according to local
board quotas prepared recently by
officials in the office of Charles s.
Huffman, adjutant general. OF these
IA will be sent to Camp Cody, which
is located at Deming, n. M, and II
to Camp Funston. The men will be
entrained some time during the five
day period beginning June "a.
The list OF men assigned to each
local board on the call for 1000
Kansas men to go to Camp Cody
was given out today as official, while
on the other call, there may be a
few slight changes, it was announ-
ced. That part of the list is to be
taken as semi-official, until figures
are checked up, according to draft
officials.
Wyandotte county, including the
four boards in Kansas City, Kans.
will be called upon to furnish the
largest number of men to go from
any one county. The total quota fol
that county is 66O men of which 55(

including the two Wichita boards, Il
second in number of men to be called
with a total of 511, 426 of which
go to Camp Funston and the othe
eighty-five to Camp Cody.
Only one county escapes tn
call entirely 1t is Linn county, il
which there are no men left in clas
one. A considerable number of tn
