ENTER 1ST VERMONT

ment Will Be Inducted into the

ruiing BY the war department puts an
end to all hope that others than those
outside the draft ages may Join the
First Vermont Infantry Men within
the draft ages, many of whom have vol
unfairly entered service and been sent
South, must become part of the regular
army.
Through misunderstanding of
orders on the part, it is said. of GER
tain recruiting officers in Vermont,
about 125 men enlisted in that state
for service in the Vermont infantry
will be inducted into the regular army
rs being within the age limits Of the
selectivc draft law
As explained at the war department
recruiting was ordered for the First
Vermont on the specific stipulation that
only men above or below the draft ages
should be enlisted BY mistake this
stipulation was overlooked or ignored
and men in the draft limits were taken.
When the men reached Camp Greene
they were not permitted to Join the
Vermont regiment, and Governor Gra-
ham was informed. The governor then
queried the war department on the
subject, and the situation was explained
TO him.
