=
Kenosha will contribute the first of
its 1918 class Of general service men
to the National army during the first
week in September. During that week
some sixty men will be entrained for
the many army environments The Gov.
ernor has received the formal call for
three thousand men to be sent to camp
during the five day period beginning
September 3rd. Of these one thousand
men will be men for limited service
and they are called to go to Camp
Greenleaf, Georgia. Kenosha will fur
nish approximately twenty men for
this call and they will all be taken
from the men who were registered in
1917 as there is still on the lists of
the local board sufficient number of
g limited serviceo men of the 1917
registration to meet this and several
other calls. The call for mea for
general services provides that the state
send two thousand men to Camp
Grant, to be entrained during the FIVE
day period beginning September 3rd
Kenosha s approximate quota will be
forty men but as Kenosha has more
than this number Of men in class it
is possible that the call on the local
boards here will be for a larger num-
Der Of men than would be provided for
in the proportionate division Of men.
When Kenosha 3 supply Of Glass |
men was running low in the first part
Of August the state tempered the call
for Kenosha and it is expected that
this city will be one of the boards hard
hit by the September calls. Kenosha
Glass / men. from the 1917 registration
were boarded sufficiently to make it
possible for the city board to meet all
calls made upon it for August entrain-
ment of men for both general and
limited service. At the present time
there are two or three of the 1917 reg
istrants remaining in Glass l. These
are men who have been ordered to APP
pear for second examinations. They
will be the first called under the Sep
| TENDER call and then the board will
dip into the lists of the 1918 regis
trants. More than a hundred of these
men have been certified for service.
! Hurry up methods will be followed
in making soldiers oe the men who
are called to register on next Saturday.
This includes men who have reached
their twenty first birthday since June
9Th last. When these men register on
next Saturday they will have chance
to make out their QUESTIONABLE at the
same time they complete their regis
tration and it is not improbable that
they will be called for physical ex-
animation on Monday. With this
hurry-up'' plan carried out these men
will be certified for service within a
week after their registration. They
re to be added to the list of men
I, igistered on June 9Th last and there
\ Ill be no delay in giving these men
Registration and order numbers. Some
Of them may be called for service be
1 fore the end of September. It is ex-
Ipected that between two and three
hundred thousand men will be called
into service during the month Of Sep
TENDER and if this number is called ii
will take practically all of the men in
the two 1913 classes.
The Kenosha county board will IN
deubtedly be called to furnish both
limited and general service men for the
September state quotas but as yet the
apportionment of the quotas have not
been made public. It is expected that
the formal calls will be received by the
/ two local boards before the end of this
month and the men will be promptly
notified to hold themselves in readiness
for the call to the colors.
