February q
LAST INCREMENT FOR FIRST
DRAFT SUMMONED IN ORDERS
FROM GEN. CROWDER
$4,000 MEN ARE NOW READY
SIX TIMES AS MANY IN CLASS AS
WILL BE NEEDED FOR THIS
MONTHS QUOTA

Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder announced
today that the movement Of the last
1ncrements of the men selected in the
first draft will begin on February %
and continue for a. period Of five days.
This will complete the operation OF
the first draft, as all states will have
furnished their full quotas.
To Complete Army
The movement will bring the
strength Of the national army up to
eS5,o0o men, contemplated in the first
draft
The number of men which will be
started to Camp Dodge, Ia., on Feb
ruary 2s. is 14,9S4.
The adjutant generals Office and
the district board for North Dakota
had received no advices this morning
from General Crowder relative to the
calling of the last increments Of the
first draft for February %. 1t is pre-
sumed, however, that these men will
go to Camp Dodge, where so per cent
of the North Dakota select service
men already have been sent. Five
per cent OF the Flickertail men have
gone to Camp Stevens, Ore, and the
call for February % will take about
1000 men, or As per cent Of the states
total of $3.50 included in the first
draft.
It is understood that enlistments
which have been received since the
first call was made will not be cred
.ited to the increment remaining due
from North Dakota, but will be held
as a credit on future drafts. This will
mean, therefore, the calling of 1000
men February %, the second large
movement of troops made under the
select service act.
I'VE have about six times as many
men now accepted and classed in IA
division as this draft will call for,
reports the district board. I'm the
neighborhood Of 10000 men have been
classified and held for service in the
first subdivision by the local draft
boards"

CALLED FOR Elk
AMINATIONS WE'D. AND THURS.
so EXAMINED EACH DAY

All questionnaires have not been re-
turned from the District Board, but
part Of the new list published last
week and all the new list this week
are those who claimed exemption
which were not granted. Many were
placed in Glass Two. and a few in the
other classes.
Did Not Claim Exemption
Bigelow Neal, oldest son of E. s.
Neal of Garrison, is the only young
man who is married and also has a
large farm, who did not ask to be
exempted. He was placed in Class
One, as he wished it that way. He
had two good reasons for being placed
in other classes but is anxious to 20
out and work for Uncle Sam. Bigelow
was born and raised on this ranch, he
went off to school and for short time
worked in Fargo. and later on the Bis
marck Tribune, but about three or
four years ago he went back to the
farm and has stayed by farming and
stock raising ever since. He is true
Mclean county young man and this
county is proud to claim him.
More to Be Proud Of
Another family that will be doing
for their country is the
Boots family of Coleharbor Three
boys are in Glass One. Two Of the
boys are at home on the farm and the
third is attending the Agricultural col.
lege at Fargo, he is Willis Boots, the
young man who worked in the county
Office when J. L..
Brekken was in office. None Of these
boys put in a claim for exemption.
Examination Next Week
The examining board will call so TO
appear In Washburn for examination
next Wednesday, and so more the fol-
lowing day. Just how many will be
sent from here at the next call on
February 23rd, is not known.

were recruited from all parts of

Undoubtedly many of the
