News of the Exemption Board

Lonoke county is not called upon to furnish any men in the big calls effective the 20th of June. Twelve men will be sent to Camps during the month. On Fthe 18th four of the boys went to Fayetteville to enter the training school. These boys all volun teered their services, and several others had to be refused because we could only fill our quota. All honor to boys like them. Those who were sent were William Fer guson, England; Olin Gray, Syl- vania; James Glover, Lonoke; Bernard Glover, Austin.
 Two men qualihed for limited service only leave on the 17th to Vancouver Barracks. Washing ton. They will be employed in the production of spruce for air planes. Everette Williams of Keo and James B. Allison of England are the men selected. They also volunteered their ser vices, with twelve others in the same class for the AerOnautical Corp. They were chosen be- cause of special qualifications. Mir. Williams enters as a cook, and MT. Allison as carpenter.
 On the 1st day of July, Ches- ter Ragland and Barney Howell both of Sylvania, will leave for Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas. They are to take the places of Willie Hester and Malvin Lane, rejec.ed because of physical dis abilities.
 Four registrants will be sent to Camp Beauregard the last of the month to fill our quota on call 390 These men have not been selected yet
 The last week in June has been set aside as re classification week. By order of the Provost Marshal General, all Boards be low the national average. 28.7 per cent in class 1 men must re-clas- sify enough men to reach that that average. Lonoke county's average is "A percent therefore we must re classify AZ per cent of our registrants in order to meet the requirements. Every patriotic citizen owes it to his country to assist the Board in this work. This can be done by | reporting to the Board cases where false claims have heen made and deferred classifica> tion thereby obtained. Any help of this KiLd will be appreciated.
 All men who can possibly do 50 should enter the service of thelr country now. No trivial ex. cuse should be allowed to stand in the way of mans doing his first duty. that which he owes to his country. During the last week, three of our registrants who were given deferred classi- fication on dependency claims have waived these claims and en- tered the service. Especial cred- 1t is due these men and their families. They are Gland R | Howell of Scotts; R. A. Watts of | Keo: Marion S. Watkins of Car lisle. The government makes good provision for the families of all such men in the way of allot- ments. allowances, and insur- ances. With this help able bod jed women can take care of them selves and allow their husbands | to fight for our country.
 Literature. explaining fully the | laws and regulations governing this insurance can be had by in quiring at the office Of the Local | Board.

WHAT OFFICERS THINK
 OF TRENCH SHOTGUN

In an article on The Weapons of Our Army" by Emerson Hough, ap- bearing in a recent issue of the Sat urday Evening Post, the following statements are made:
 The requisition of General Pershing for sawed off shotguns for trench work has never been made specific to the American public. I do not know whether he asked for the auto matic or the pump action shotgun. Probably it was the latter, or what is known as the riot-action type or the brush gun model. a siX-Shot, hand operated single-barrel pump shotgun. It need not be pointed out that such a weapon loaded with nine buck shot, is one of the deadiest short-range weapons ever conceived or used by man. No column of troops could stand at close range before heavy line of men armed with this sort of gun. In the Civil War ball and buck" made the most dreaded load an ounce ball and three buckshot The Germans are now whining about our use of shotguns, which they say, is opposed to the articles of the Geneva convention. Strange they do not also object to our use of asphyxiating gas and liquid fire
 whose use we learned from them, and which is also prohibited by the arti- 1 cles of the Geneva convention

FLYERS FLOCK TO ENTER CARNIVAL


 Since the news of the huge Army Aviation carnival to be held at Bel mont Park. Saturday, October 18th, at 2 p. m. for the benefit of the National Aeronautic committee, has reached the various army aviation fields in the east and middle west, a number of the officers commanding those fields have wired the First Pro- visional Wing at Garden City, L. l., requesting that they be permitted to compete in some of the races and events, both on land and in the air. What was originally planned as a carnival to be put on simply by the flyers of the First Provisional Wing (which included all of the Long Island flying fields, under Lieut. Col Claude K. Rhinehardt's command) now promises to develop into a truly na- iginally conceived.
 Plans are being made to fly squad rons of airplanes from Boiling Field Washington, D. C.; Wright Field Dayton. Ohio; Langley Field, Hamp- ton, Va; Chanute. Field, Rantoul IL; Middletown Field, Middletown Pa; to Belmont Park, so that in ad- dition to the hundred airships prom ised by Lieut. Com. Rhinehardt from his own squadrons, there may be 1 dozens of winged visitors. Arrange ments are also being negotiated tc have one of the new huge army diri- gible balloons in which Genera Kenly, chief of miliatry aeronautics has been sailing in the middle west l flown east for the meet. Genera Kenly has already made arrange ments to fly from Washington in 2 l fast two seated scout plane, early ir the morning of the carnival provided the weather is clear otherwise he vii make the trip by train. Numerous ! other high army officers will fly iron ! Washington.
