The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1918-07-05


selection Of the men called to entrain
for Camp Custer some time during
the five days commencing July %.
In making these selections they have
had to call some men who had been
given temporary deferment on the
ground of farm work. The shortage
OF men in class one engaged in other
occupations has made this necessary.
On March II last, the Provost
Marshal General of the War Depart
ment issued an order directing the
local boards in furnishing their quo
tas for the army, to defer those ac-
lively and assiduously engaged in
agriculture even though they had
been placed in Class l.
The local board regrets very much
that many of these men cannot be
left for the balance of the season on
the farms of the county but under
the rulings Of the War Department
they have no option at this time but
call these men for mobilization. IF
the farmers selected should be per-
mitted to remain at home for the
season, 1T means that the quota must
be filled by calling other farmers
whose work is just as important. AS
the list now stands it will do no good
to interview the board for further
deferrment in any case as it cannot
be given.
The district board has decided that
these men, while they are useful on
the farms, are not skilled agricultur.
allsts and are not necessary to the
agricultural enterprises in which they
are engaged.
The registrants of the class of
1918 are now just receiving their
questionnaires and it will take sew
eral weeks before they have been
classified and the men in class one
have been given their physical ex-
aminations.
The regulations specify that some
OF them can be called for mobiliza-
ton until the present class one has
been exhausted. The men RECENTLY
changed from other classes into class
one have not yet been given their
physical examinations so none of them
can be included in this call. Some
OF them have appeals to the district
board and the returns have not all
been made from that board.
