JOSEPHINE COUNTY To
FURNISH TWO MEN.

Portland. Apr. 17.-stili another
special draft call. the third in a lit
lie more than one month. has been
made by the war department.
Under this third call. Oregon is to
furnish 251 men for service in the
national army. in addition to the 3ss
called out by the order Of March IL.
who have already reported at Camp
Lewis, and the s23 who are to re-
port to Camp Lewis in the five-day
period beginning April rs. eg e.
The PSI men to be taken in the
new special call are ordered to re-
port to Fort Mcdowell. CAL. in the
five-day period beginning May 1.
As this is an artillery training post,
the supposition is that these men are
to be put into the artillery. though
no official announcement has been
made to that effect. These 251 men
constitute "a per cent OF oregon's
first gross draft quota.
All told since March II. a total
OF 1.b41 men from Oregon have now
been called into military service
through the draft. The state and
various counties are to be credited
later with these men against the
net quota for the big draft call that
Is coming soon.
In this call. as in the two special
calls previously made, men actively.
completely and assiduously engaged
In the planting and cultivation OF
crops will not be called until the
end OF the quota.
Josephine's quota is two men for
this draft.
James Martin. clerk OF the local
board, stated this afternoon that the
two men who would probably be
called in the May draft are Lloya W.
Fall. who is an engineer working for
the city of Pontiac. Mich, and Ches-
ter F. Stone. OF Grants Pass. The
alternate is Roy F. McFarlin. now
at Kennett. Cal.
These men will go to Ft.- Mellow
ell, on Angel island. near San Fran
cisco. where they will probably be
inducted into the coast artillery.
On April 80. nine men will leave
for Camp Lewis in response to the
call issued few days ago. They
win leave on special train at $40
p. m.
Mr.. Martin this morning received
telegram from Kenneth Williams.
asking that he be transferred to St.
Louis. This disproves the state
ment received over the wire last
week that he was on his way home.
The request was granted.

st. Eloi is about two miles north
east Of wytschate and about three
and one-half miles directly south OF
Ypres and is located near the south
ern end Of Messines ridge. BY the
capture OF KENNEL the Germans
have greatly endangered the British
right on Messines ridge.
