cry of the adjutant generals office
Topeka. He said that credit woul
he given Dickinson county for al
men who enlisted in the service sine
June 80. Credit was given for tn
first draft and the same rule will
hold for the second draft, Captain
Montgomery said.
A number of registrants have beer
enlisting in various branches of thu
service. but this is not allowable. On
ly the different branches of the navy
are open for enlistment to drafted
men. 1t is not known how may mer
Dickinson will be asked for on the
next draft.
This county's current quota is Al
men and only 40 men were sent To
Camp Funston. The local board VIII
make this up by enlisting a man in
the east who desires to go to Camp
Sheridan.
w. F. Benson, member of the
Wichita board, said that question
naires had been received from 20
600 registrants. Many of these were
AGRICULTURAL and industrial claims
A good percentage Of the register
ed men will be placed in class one
II the registered man has any KICK
coming, he must appeal within hve
days after the boards decision IS
made and not wait for his name to De
published. The names of the men
classified are not published until the
6ve days, which are given for the
registrant to appeal, are over.
Physical examination of men plac-
ed class one by the local board VIII
begin soon. Orders received TO-DAY
state that the examination should
start on January %, but as the To-
cal board will soon be thru CLASSIFY
ing the examination may be put OH
for a while. The local board here'
according to Instructions from the
proyost marshal general, is working
faster than the average board. Some
boards in Kansas have not started
to classify, while others have classi-
fed only a few. Clerk Kyle SAID
this morning that about two-thirds
of the registrants in Dickinson had
been classified.
The physical examination VIII not
inc,ude those who have appealed, but
only those who are put in class one
by the local board.

half of the registrants and 149 OF
these men we're placed in class one.
At least 800 of the draft men VIII
be nlaced in the first class when the
classification is completed. The first
list received from Wichita Is not a
fair test as to how the district board
will treat agricultural claims, CLERK
KYLE stated today. Where the agrl-
cultural claimant can show he raised
enough wheat and other grains dur
ing the past year, he will be exempt
ed. The first list returned here Dy
the wichita board included those
whose claims were too light.
