EYES OF U S. FOCUSED ON THE DRAFT TODAY

Serious Side of Situation That Confronts Us Is Realized When Local Youths Are Among Those First Chosen.

Carpenter Hard Hit. Work of Drawing Is Performed With Alacrity by Officials in Charge at Washington Fifty-Seven Jasper County Boys Had Been Drawn Up Until Noon Today—Carpenter Has 22 Sons For First Army—Kankakee Township Escapes So Far.

The returns of the drawing of the drafted men who are to help make up America’s army for service on foreign battlefields began to arrive in Rensselaer shortly after the drawing commenced at Washington, and by noon fifty-seven Jasper county boys found themselves victims of the drawing. Whether or not all of these young men will be called for the first army or not has not been designated, and it is probable that none will know for a day or so, just how soon they are to report for service. The following is the list of the men and their numbers, drawn up to the time of going to press: Milroy Tp. 10 Clyde H. Fisher 18 Charles C. Sommers Walker. 23 Charles Ellis Snow 32 Guy T.
