AN EXPLANATION
All Those in List Who Failed 10 Turn
in Questionaires not Deserters.

A list of names of young men of
Gratiot county, who failed TO turn in
questionaires to the Gratiot County
Draft Board, which appeared n var
ious papers Of the county last week,
are not deserters, although they have
been listed as such
Under the rulings by which the
draft boards are forced to 90. the men
who fail to turn in questionaires and
satisfy the draft board that they are
in the service, must be listed.
Many of the young men who were
listed last week are now in active
service in France and some are in
training in this country In some
cases the questionaires were probably
not returned, because Of careessness
and in others they may have never
reached the men. but this does not
excuse the men. whom the draft rules
say must turn in questionaires. The
failure to turn in questionaires to the
draft board leaves the board power
less to do anything other than so list
the men, who are at the front offering
their lives to the country
Parents and relatives of such men
should take up this matter and see
that questionaires are filled out bv
the men and returned to the draft
board.
