AS a result of the registration last
Saturday in Berkeley county OF youths
who have become II years OF age since
June 5 last, about 40,names were listed
BY the local draft board for military
| service. These youths will be i'm
| mediateiy classified and placed in the
lists with the $50 young men who
registered June 5. All of the available
men in the registration of June 5, 1917,
in Berkeley county, have been summon
| ed for military service, and several OF
the boys listed June 5, 1918, also have
been sent to the training camps, leav-
| ing only about 200 men.
William Mitchell, a Shepherdstown
man who was drafted couple OF
months ago and sent 20 Camp Meade
| for military training, spent couple OF
| days at his home here the past week.
Army life is doing wonders for Bill.
Regular meals and strict discipline are
| causing him to thrive 80 that his
friends hardly knew him, and in the
month or two that he has been in camp
ne has increased in weight from l35 to
III pounds. He looked we'll in his
uniform, and he will make good SOL
der.
1t is believed that a good many Of
| the Jefferson county soldiers who have
been in training at Camp Lee and Camp
| Meade the past couple of months are
now on their way TO France or are get
ting ready for an early departure
| Word was received from several of the
boys that full equipment for overseas
had been issued, and the presumption
is that they will soon be on the other
side.
Rev. |. D. Woman has received word
that his son, Charles Woman, has
reached his destination overseas in
safety. Charles, who is in the aero
squadron, is one of the most youthful
soldiers from Shepherdstown, having
enlisted last year when he was but II
years of age. We hope that he may
prove himself to be a real man and
that he may come back to us safe and
sound when it's over over there.
DR.. Alex H. S. Rouss, who has been
a surgeon in the transport service, was
at his old home near Kabletown for a
few days, then leaving for Newport
News, Va, where he now has charge
of one of the army base hospitals.
While in the transport service DR..
RousS made two successful trips
through the submarine zone, accom-
panying a contingent of soldiers to
France each time.
Robert C. Reinhart, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. S. Reinhart, of Moler's, has
been called to Camp Meade. Robert
went to camp cheerfully and said ne
hoped he would not be turned down
as he was anxious to serve his country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reinhart have two more
sons that are subject to the Is TO 4S
| draft who will not offer objection TO the
