DRAFT MAY STRIKE w1NDHAM.

Windham county, which did not nave 20
furnish any men in the first draft may
have to do so in the coming draft t'x-
aminations of the returns of erlistments
so far made to the office of the county
show the county is now credited with
about 40 on the coming draft quota. This
number does not include, however. some
outside the draft ages who may have en-
listed at various recruiting offices. the re-
turns for which have been made to the
Acknowledgement Of the army. Unless en-
listments are secured right away or men
of draft age induct themselves into the
service. 1t is probable that Windham
county will be called to furnish number
of men under draft age. For the first
draft the quota for Windham was 2H.
but the enlistment credits were 255
