OF the government and see to it that
their answers are returned to the local
board within seven days.
Plans were being perfected today
fer the organization of the attorneys
Of the city into the "Legal Board
which will aid the men in making the
returns of the missionaries. A new
plan is to be adopted in connection
with the most recently registered men.
This plan provides that attorneys be
sent to the various factories in the city
to take care of demands in connection
with the proper return of the question
naires. The factories have all made
arrangements for the working out Of
this plan and it is believed that it viii
aid materially in getting early re-
turns of the questionnaries with the
minimum loss of time to the workmen
Two hundred and fifty fthe question
naires will be mailed by the city board
tonight and the registrants should re
ceive them on Thursday. The first
company will have until the following
Friday to return them.
No statement has been made as to
when the questionnaires win be sent
to registrants of Is years or above
thirty six years and it may be months
before these men are called for classi-
feation. 1t is now believed that the
drawing Of the draft numbers sche-
duled to take place some time next
week will be limited to the number
Of men between the ages of 19 and
SO inclusive.
The work of classifying the men in
Kenosha will be pushed with all pos
sible speed for while it is not expected
that any of these men will be called
for the October quotas it is pretty GER
tain that lot of them will be needed
to make up the quotas of men called
for the month OF Novembr and later
in the winter months. The local
board is ahopeful that the entire work
of classification viii be completed with
in sixty days. The work Of copying
the cards is rapidly nearing completion.
The local board has paid special tri-
butte Of commentator to Mrs. S, E.
Brown who has already copied and ro.
turned to the board more than one
thousand of the cards and she is still
busy. Many women have aided very
materially in the patriotic work Of get
ting the cards ready.
No word in regard to the time for
holding the draft has been received by
the local board but it is believed that
the Provost Marshal will set next Tues
day as the date. The drawing of the
numbers viii in no way interfere with
the work Of sending out and filing the
missionaries.
Registrars to whom these blanks
are sent are urged to make it a pa
triotic duty to make prompt returns.
a heavy penalty is provided for fail
ure to return the questionnaire
