place Of voluntary enlistment and
that since men indicted under this
provision are to be sent for great
distances at considerable expense to
the government the utmost care
should be exercised in their physical
examination and no man should be
forwarded to any of the destinations
mentioned herein unless it is quite
certain that he is physically accept
able for military service and local
boards should be enjoined that they
are on their mettle to demonstrate
their efficiency as recruiting units
for our army.

board to the destination mentioned
herein should be provided as pre-
scribed in Section ITO, and meal
tickets for the period of time neces-
