been received by the local exemp-
ton board regarding the draft con-
tingent which was entrained here
last Thursday.
The board is particularly anxious
10 receive the list of names of the
men who arrived at the camp.
When the roll was called the morn
ing the men departed from Rock Is
land several men failed to answer,
but some are known to have
stepped into the group later. Others
are said to have boarded the train
without paying any attention TO the
roll call.
In all. about fifteen men are in
doubt, and it is desired to know
whether these men are at camp.
The board knows that its full quota
was entrained and anxiety is felt
only as to exactly who are the Is
men whose names are not officially
listed as having entrained.
Nothing has been officially
learned OF the number of reflections
at the camp. Several of the men
who have returned have visited the
