ANOTHER DRAFT CALL ISSUED

INDIANA TO FURNISH MORE MEN FOR ARMY—TO LEAVE APRIL 3. The local conscription board received notification from the War Department this Wednesday morning to the effect that Jasper county would be called upon to furnish more men for the national army on April 3, in addition to the seventeen per cent which have been-ordered to report from March 29 to April 2 inclusive. The order this morning did not state what per cent of the men would be called on April 3, but it is believed that ten per cent, or six men, will be called on this date. The call for March 29 includes ten men from this county, which means that sixteen draftees will leave here between March 29 anil April 4. , The men of the sixteen per cent are to be <mt to Camp Taylor, Ky., while the ten per cent are to be sent to Fort Hamilton, N. Y. No farmers are to be included in the call at this time, as it is deemed advisable by the War Department to allow them to remain at home and aid in the spring farm work. With the exception of four or five men, the local conscription board has not decided who must answer the calls;
