the War Ended.
Order To Hold Up Drafts Did
Not Come in Time.
MORE WERE TO GO FRIDAY
However, They Can Now Re-

Work of Classifying Regis
trants Will Continue.

Had word come a few hours earlier
it would not have been necessary for
thirty-seven Topeka men to leave their
civil life pursuits to entrain for army
camps, where in all proba biiity. they
will not be permitted to make the
transition to soldiers of the United
States army.
At IL o'clock Monday morning in
structions were issued from the adju-
tant generals OFFICES to the local draft
boards ordering them to go ahead with
plans for entrainment of the men due
to leave for Camp Funston and Fort
Riley that day.
-ceived in the adjutant generals office
ordering the discontinuance of all calls
to the army and saying that all men
who were entrained on Monday would
be returned to civil life. Detailed in
structions are in the mails from Crow
der's office but have not yet arrived.
However, classifications and physical
examinations will continue just the
same as if the war was still going on.
Nothing further is known as to wheth-
er or not the men sent to Camp Run
ston and Fort Riley will be back soon
altho the orders say they will be re-
turned.
Many Ready to Go.
Board No. has 200 men in class
1 and ready to go. Twenty OF these
went Monday Ninety-five other
class 1 men listed for general service
would have been entrained on Friday
for Camp Funston. Now. however,
they will remain at home.
Board No. 1 has not so many men
available in class 1 for general mill
tary service, but besides the seventeen
men who left Monday, there was a
call on Friday, which would have been
filled with seventy-nine other Topeka
men who would have been sent to
Camp Funston.
Now since the new instructions have
arrived TIA Topeka men, seventy-ni
from board No. and ninety-five from
board No. will be allowed to con-
tinue their duties Of civil life. And the
thirty-seven men, when they are re-
turned will leave Topeka with 211
more men than would have been the
case if the Germans had not agreed
