Kansas experienced the sensation of
a new war throb today when the ad-
jutant generals office notified every
draft board in, the state that orders
hasl been received from Provost Cen,
eral Crowder for an emergency call of
5000 men and that Kansas was call
Ell upon tof urnish 5S7 of this num-
ber, or "a per cent of the gross quota
upon which the first draft was based
last summer. OF the 5S7 to be fur
n4sned by Kansas, fifteen will be called
from the city OF Topeka and seven
from Shawnee county. The men will be
taken from the first names in class l
and they will be inducted into ser
vice between the dates of March 29
and May 4.
Local board No. l of Topeka will be
called on to furnish six men, and local
board No. to furnish nine men. In
the list of names above more than the
required number are given men
who are not in Topeka and cannot i'm
mediately be notified will necessitate
the calling of more than the allotted
quota. The men in the lists given are
those who in all probability will be af-
fected by the call The list is given
in correct order, and if your name
appears in the first six mer under the
head of board No. l or under the first
nine men under board No. 2, you will
be called to the service sometime be-
tween March 29 and May 4.
To Take No Farmers.
According to the order received in
the adjutant generals office no men
who are actually, completely and as
siduouSly'' engaged in the planting or
cultivation of crops are to be taken in
this emergency call but they are to be
deferred until the end of the quota is
reached However, the draft boards
are to exert every precaution to see
that only those who are actually SOL
diers of the soil enjoy this benefit and
those who try to escape on a pretext
are liable to find themselves in a
great deal of trouble. 1t has been ex-
planned that this temporary exemption
of farmers is not matter of favorit-
ism partiality in any way but
merely shows the emphasis the Off
cials at Washington place on impor-
tance of keeping the agricultural ac-
tivities of the country going at max
imum speed.
A great deal of confusion was
caused by the inability of many to
determine just what classification this
. call for men should be placed under
MANY could not understand how it
could be part of the first draft when
Topeka and Shawnee county had all
ready filled their first draft quotas
Neither could they understand how
the call could come under the second
draft when no second draft orders
have been issued.
Get Credit on Second Draft
1t was explained at the adiutant
generals office that technically
speaking the men will go into service
undo: an emergency CALI that is,
the quota will be handled and sent
to cantonments under the workings
