Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 160, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 July 1917 — Dr. Johnson Off Conscription Board. [ARTICLE]

Dr. Johnson Off Conscription Board.

Word was received here today by' Sheriff McColly from State Conscription Agent Eschbach to the effect that Dr. C. E. Johnson, of this city, would no longer be allowed to serve at a member of the conscription aoard of Jasper county. The order was sent to the various state conscription agents of the United States by Provost Marshal Crowder, of Washington, D. C. The action is based upon the fact that Dr. Johnson comes within the age limit of drafted men. A recent law which was passed provided that no- one could serve as a member of a conscription board who was between the ages of 21 and 31. It is probable that Dr. E. N. Loy will be appointed to the place that has been held by Dr. Johnson. . » • -
