STATE MAKES GOOD SHOWING IN
COMPARISON WITH OTHER
STATES
1000 SHORT OF ESTIMATE
Notable Falling Off Due to Fact That
Many Young Men Enlisted
Voluntarily.

Idaho registered a grand total of
27sS men who became of age between
June 5, 1917, and June 5, 1918, making
a very creditable showing as compared

1000 below the estimates, 1000 being
originally placed as the number ldahO
would likely register The falling off
was due to the fact many of the young
men, Immediately after becoming OF
age, voluntarily enlisted and went into
some branch of the service.
Draft borads in the various coun-
ties of the state are now receiving
missionaries from the new registrants
and many have classified them. A
large percentage of these men will go
