The closing Of the records Of the,
Local Board for Sioux county
brings to light some interesting fig
ures, and will furnish the basis for
the history Of the part taken BY.
Sioux county in. the war.
A total Of 738 men were regis-
tered in the county on different
dates as follows: June 1917, 325;
June and August 1918, 15; Sep
tember 1918, 1893. Out Of the 325
men included in the first registra-
ton Ill men were inducted or vol
unfairly enlisted in the army, navy
or marine corps. This is q very
fine record, and the Pioneer doubts
if it can be cqualed by any county
in the state.

Out Of 15 men registered in June
and August, 1918, 8 men were in
Quoted in the army. Out Of the
last registration, September, 1918,
only one man was inducted. "A call
was out for number Of men Of the
last class registered when peace was
declared and the war ended.
How many Of the Sioux county
men saw overseas service the Local
Board has no record, but it is lik-
ely that at some time, after the fin.
al statistics are compiled in the. Of
flee Of the Provost Marshal. these
figures will be available. SO far as
known, Sioux county had only two
men killed in action. The casual
ties from disease both in the train
ing camps and overseas, has also
been light. &. 1.
s@ laI9 records of the board are
now ready for inspection by an Of
iicer from the Office Of the Adult
ant General, after which, under
present instruction, they will be
sealed and shipped to the Provost
General, Washington, D. G.
A cover sheet for each man reg
istered By the Local Board has been.
made out and init is filed the ques-
tionnaire, where same has been re.
turned, together with every docu-.
ment relating to the registrant.
This includes the physical examina-
ton blanks and all the papers that
have been filed with the Local and
District Board in support Of claims
for deferred classification.
It is'a good thing for the reputa-
ton Of. some Of the registrants that
these records are not open for pub.
hc inspection, as some Of the regis
trants made very extravagent and
overdrawn claims in their efforts to
escape military service. In few
isolated cases perjury was no doubt
resorted to by the registrant and
parties who made the supporting
aftidavits.
However Sioux county's record
in the war is one to be proud Of.
The county furnished many volun-
teers before the first registration Of
which there is no record. Many
men also enlisted in the service be-
fore the questionnaire system went
into. effect and thereby waived any
claim they might have enjoyed un-
der the classification rules.
