LIBERTY BONDS FIGURE
IN DRAFT CLASSIFICATION
Men seeking deferred classification in
their questionnaires are being judged in
great measure on the amount of Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps they
have bought
This became known Wednesday when
the district advisory board for north
Georgia replied to a request for de-
ferred classification by sending to the
| ton in which he was asked directly how
many Liberty Bonds he had bought.
The communication read in part
LAS an additional influence (thOugh il
is not a legal requirement. l am think
ing that if you will furnish me a list
Of the Liberty Bonds you have bought
of the first, second and third issues. and
that you have subscribed for and made
the initial payment upon (giving their
serial numbers) of the fourth issue, and
the War Savings Stamps you have
bought, the exhibition of this list to the
district draft board would, if the list
is liberal, have a very favorable influ-
ence upon the minds of the members of
both boards as we all are warmly en-
listed in the success of these war meas
ures.
"If it is possible that. you have not
/ subscribed
stamps heretofore, the fourth loan bonds
are still on sale and liberal subscrip-
ton for them might answer the desired
end.
"A board member remarked that he
thought a man who was asking that
some other man be put in the ranks in
his stead, to be subjected to the viciS-
STUDIES of war, should be willing and
eager to do everything in his power
to alleviate the hardShips and lessen
the dangers to the man who takes his
place on the firing line.
And this seems a reasonable view of
the matter. The board looks with dis
favor upon the requests of those who
are not willing to help to their utmost
to win this war quickly as possible
