YOUNG MEN ID
 BE DRAFTED IN
 OCTOBER GALL Pine Bluff and Jefferson Youths Take Physical
 Exams Thursday.

Draft boards number one and two
 of Pine Bluff have notified all regis.
 trants who registered on August 24 l to report to the boards on Septem- l Der 5, Thursday for physical examina- tions. Part of these men will be call ed to the eolors the first of October, according to an official communica- tlon received from Adjutant General England, at Little Rock, Monday morning.
 The complete communication of General England is as follows:
 "Attention is directed to the fact that October calls will be extremely hard to fill and will severely test the ability of the selective service ma chinery to produce them.
 "The men qualified for general military service in Class 1 of the June 5, 1917, and the June 5, 1918, regis tration will be practically exhausted on Sept. 30. While calls have not been issued for all the men included therein, additional calls will be an- nounced shortly for entrainment dur ing the latter part of September.
 "The early October calls must be filled from men who registered on Aug. "A. This will require unusual effort on the part of local and district boards.
 "The entrainment under October calls will probably be during the first week in October. As it will be impos- sible to obtain a Class 1report in time to make this call, the initial De- tober quotas general service men will be apportioned so as not to exceed 50 per cent of the Aug. "A registration report from your state, and later calls will be used to exhaust the re- maining Class 1.
 "1n order that the Aug. 24 regis trants may be available for call at the earliest possible moment, the president directs that the first para graph of section 121, s. s. R., be sus- pended until fuHther orders and the following procedure substituted there for: Physical Examination.-Imm itely upon classification in Class 1 by the local boards of any registrants of the Aug. "A class in behalf of whom no claim has been made for deferred classification on the ground of en- gagement in industry or agriculture, and regardless of any appeal to the district board in his case, the local board shall mail to the last known address of any such registrant so plac- ed in Class 1 notice (Form 1OO9) to appear for physical examination at a time and place to be designated in said notice (which time shall be five days from the date of mailing of the notice), and shall enter the date of the mailing of said notice in column 19 of the classification list. Im- mediately after the district board has placed registrant of the Aug. 24 class in Class by whom or in whose behalf claim has been made on agri- cultural or industrial grounds the procedure respecting his immediate physical examination as outlined above will be followed. Nothing in the instructions shall be construed as au- thorizing the physical examination of any registrant of Aug. "A class who is in deferred class on any ground.
 "No registrant shall be inducted into military service, however, if he has appealed his case to the district board until he is finally classified by the district board. Instruct district boards to give immediate attention to these cases.
 Every effort must be made to com plete in ample time for Oct. i, en- trainment the classification and phy- sical examinations of Aug. 24, 1918,
