FOUMAN LEAVES
FOR CAMP AS
REGULAR SOLDIER
Local Board Accepts Excuse Of Young
Man Who Failed to Show Up ,
when Notified For Entraln- Z
ment and Sends Him on
to Camp as a Regu-
lar Fighting Man.

The sting of deserter was not
placed on Ernest Crawford Forman,
of the Shannon neighborhood, by the
Mason County Exemption Board yes
terday when they had heard his case.
Young Forman had been ordered by
the board to report for entrainment
with the squad of selects who left
here on Thursday for Fort Thomas
but he failed to show up. He tele-
phoned that he was i'll ana unable to
come but yesterday the Board sent the
sheriff for him and had him brought
before them to show cause why he
should not be classed as deserter
and be summarily indicted into SER
vice.
The young mans excuse was that
he was i'll and unable to report when
ordered in by the Board. The Board
accepted this excuse and did not list
him as a deserter but he was sum-
marily indicted into service and EFT
yesterday afternoon over the c. d U
for Fort Thomas where he will report
for immediate service in the army.
There were reasons for believing
that the young man should have re-
ported to the Board promptly but thu
local Board took his statement of thu
case and had no desire to put stint
on the young man which would b'
hard for him to live down by CHASING
him as deserter especially after the!
had heard his case and he expressed
Willingness to go right into tn

Join this movement as 1t Is for

They want all the men that can af-
ford to give their services to do so,
but those that cannot, will be paid a
good price per rod for hauling. If
you can spare the time and are in

system of roads, you are urged to
haul rock Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday on any road and in front OF
any farm that you wish; then notify

cepted for the United States Army
Until Pending Draft Legisla-

only awaiting further orders to re-
port to headquarters at Covington.
The orders he expects to receive
sometime today and he will then pack

The orders received by Sergeant
Simmons were like the orders re-
ceived by the recruiting stations all

the future or at least until the new
draft laws are finally passed there
will be but one way to enter the Unit
ed States Army and that will be
through the selective draft.
The men within draft age have been
prohibited from enlisting during the
past several months or since the draft
has been effective except when the
Young man carried with him release
from his local Board but in the flu
ture no such releases will be issued
by any board.
Since Sergeant Simmons has been
located in Maysville he has enlisted
quite large number of men and by
his gentlemanly conduct and clever
manners has made a great many
friends who will be sorry to see him
called away.
