Visiting Official Admits the

duces imperial County
Quota One-half.

! Here are the results of Adjutant
General J. j. Boree's conference with
local draft and Defense Council Off
cials:
The Imperial county quota is to be
reduced slightly more than one-half.
All aliens are to be placed in Glass
Five.
County is given credit for all VOL
unteer enlistments in the army, in
cluding men under and over the draft
age.
Imperial county has excelled every
other county in the state, with the ex-
iception of Butte county, in the proper
tioRae number of volunteer enlist
ments.
When the quota for Imperial coun-
ty was fixed federal census bulle-
tin gave the county a population of
,63, ,147.
At a conference late Saturday, Ad-
jutant General J. j. Boree, agreed
with the local officials to reduce the
county quota more than half.
Whatever the methods used in de-
termining county quotas, Imperial will
send about As per cent of what she
would ordinarily send to camp.
Farm workers are to be placed at
the end of Glass I and will not be
disturbed until other classes of reg
istrants are disposed of.
Clerk Barton today gave out the
following statement of the results of
the conference:
"We believe that General Boree has
furnished us with the solution of the
Imperial county draft problem.
"He has authorized handling of
our aliens which will place them in
Glass 5, where they belong, and will
practically divide our quota in the
middle.
His records correspond with ours
in regard to the number of men en-
listed and inducted and we will be
allowed credit of 800 on the next
quota on this score.
General Boree advises us that the
voluntary enlistments of Imperial
county have been exceeded only by
the county of Butte, in proportion to
the inhabitants.
