QUESTIONAIRES are now being
sent out by the various local boards
throughout the state to those men
who registered for military SERVE on
Thursday of last week. To those
who have these questionaireS to fill
out it is opportune to call their at
tention to the fact that failure to an
swer the questions and properly
swear to them is punishable by their
prompt induction in the military SER
vice. In other words, a registrant
who fails to return his QUESTIONABLE
properly will lose any claim for de-
ferred classification which he NAV
have, and will find himself wearing a
uniform much quicker than he might
have done had he returned the uues-
tionaire. The men between the ages
OF l9 and S6, of those who registered
last week, will be the first to receive
questionaires. If within the next ten
days these men have not received
them it would be wise for them to
communicate with their local board
as to the reason. The burden of the
proper filling in and returning the
QUESTIONABLE is placed upon the man.
not upon the government. Watch for
your QUESTIONABLE and attend to it
promptly when it is received.

CALL DELAWARE REGIsTRANTs

Provost Marshall General Crowder
mas issued calls for draftees to leave
Tor camp during the next few weeks,
the total Of which will amount to
1Sl. .63S men. All states have quotas
to NIL. Delaware will send 2O7 white
men to Camp Meade and 144 negroes
to Camp Dix, N, ]. These calls will
all be filled before October 10th. It
is expected that soon after the new
registrants are classified much larger
calls will be made during the winter
months. 1t is recognized by the au-
thOrities that the only effectual man
ner in which the Kaiser can be crush
ed is by the unstinted use OF man
power, and the men will be called as
fast as training facilities can be pro-
vided for them.
Milford chronicle., 1918-09-20

LEGAL ADVISORY Boards have
been appointed by the Local Exemp-
ton Boards throughout the State, and
these Advisory Boards will aid any
registrant who may need assistance in
filling out their questionaires. These
men do this work without pay from
the registrant, and it should be the
thought of those who have question
aires to facilitate the work of these
boards in every possible manner.
Look over your blanks when they ar
rive and after careful reading of the
instructions, answer as many of the
questions as you possibly can without
assistance. After this has been done
go to the Advisory Boards, who will
give the necessary aid in filling in the
remaining questions. These boards
have been appointed for the conven-
ience and aid of the registrants, but
this does not mean that undue ad-
vantage should be taken of them.

SINCE THE first draft law was
passed by Congress the little State of
Delaware has registered a total of ap-
proximately $4,000 men for military
service. The registration of this por-
tion Of the male citizenship of the
State does not mean that all of these
men will be called for active military
duty. In fact, the very large portion
OF the registrants will be placed in
deferred classes by the local and dis
trict boards, and the proportion call
ed will in all possibility be small.
The government wants men for mill
tary service who can best be spared
from the community, and it is for
this purpose that the draft ages we're
raised to take men between the ages
OF is and As years inclusive. Within
these ages there are large numbers
Of men who are doing practically
nothing to support either their fam
lilies, or to produce things which are
Of benefit to the community. These
men may expect call for military
service.

He did not want to smoke again for
some time afterward, and like as not,
he did not want to eat either. They
were therefore very valuable.
1t is very hard to get matches In
the camps, and when any prisoner
does get hold Of one, it is made to last
long time. Here is how we make q
match last. Some one gives up the
sleeve Of his coat, and the match is
carefully lit, and the coat sleeve
burned to crisp. Then we take a
button from our coats-the buttons
are brass with two holes in them
pass a shoestring through the holes,
knot the ends, and with the button in
the center of the string. buzz it around
as you have seen boys do, with the
string over both hands, moving the
hands together and apart until the
button revolves very fast.
We then put a piece of flint against
the crisped cloth, and buzz the button
against it until spark makes the
crisp glow, and from this we would
light our bark cigarettes. I do not
think any man in the world could in
hale one of these bark cigarettes {:
some of us tried and went right to
sleep.

We waved to them, and they waved
back and gave cheer-oh or two. We

we were not going to that camp, and

received the only cigarette had while
I was In Germany. 81
Minden Is quite railway ce'/er, l
guess, and when we pulled II 10 the
depot. we saw many troops ppng to
the front or coming back. As at all
important German railway stations,
there was a Red Gross booth on the
platform, with German girls handing
out barley coffee and other things to
the German soldiers. I saw a large
shanty on the platform, with Red
Cross painted over the door. I saw
the girls giving barley coffee to the
soldiers. and thought would have
try at 1t and at least be polite
enough to give the girls a chance Of
refusing me. I was refused all right,
but they were so nasty about 1t that
put down my head and let something
slip. do not remember just what 1t
was, but it was not very compliment
airy, I guess. Anyhow, I did not think
anyone near there understood Eng
lish, but evidently some one heard me
who did, for got an awful boot that
landed me ten or twelve feet away.
fell on my hands and knees, and
about yard away l saw cigarette
stub. l dived for it like man falling
on a football, and when / came up
that stub was safely in my pocket.
And it stayed there until I reached
Dulmen and had chance to light it
behind the barracks. If any of the
other men had smelled real tobacco,
they would probably have murdered
me, and I could not have blamed them
for 1t.
That was the first and last cigarette
I got in Germany, and you can be-
ieve me when l say that enjoyed
it. There was not much to it, but I
smoked it until there was not enough
left to hold in my mouth, and then !
used what was left and mixed it with
the bark that we made cigarettes out
of. Incidentally, this bark was great
stuff. I do not know what kind Of
tree 1t was from, but it served the
purpose. Whenever a fellow wanted
to smoke and lit one of these bark
cigarettes, few puffs were enough.
