TWENTY YOUNG MEN REGISTER
FOR DRAFT SERVICE

Twenty young men of Paris and
Bourbon county, who have become
twenty-one years old since June S,
of this year, registered for military
service with the Bourbon County
Draft Board, Saturday. Of this num-
Der thirteen were white and nine
negroes.
The registration with the Board
been expected. The shortage was ac-
counted for, however, from the fact
that a large number of young men
from the city and county had volun-
teered and had gone into the military
service before the registration.
Upon registering the young men
were given missionaries which they
are to I'LL out and return within
seven days from Saturday. This will
save the delay caused by mailing out
the questionnaires, and the new reg
istrants will soon be examined and
made ready for entering the service.
The names and addresses of the
registrants of Saturday are as fol-
lows:
White-Howard Richie, Shawhan;
William B. Johnson, Paris, Route s !;

The boys who registered Saturday
had been warned previously that fail
ure to do SO would mean forfeiture
of possible deferred classifications.
The only exception was that of boys
of the Jewish faith, or others, who,
because of religious scruples, opposed
registration on Saturday were defer
red until yesterday.
How soon the new registrants will
be called into the service will vary
according to the numerical strengths
of Glass Al. The numbers will be
assigned the new registrants by the
draft officials, and by reference to the
master list of the last lottery the
new men may learn the order of their
call.
