Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 109, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 May 1918 — WILL TAKE ALL OF DRAFT ONE [ARTICLE]

WILL TAKE ALL OF DRAFT ONE

CALLS MADE FOR FORTY-FIVE MEN, WHICH WILL TAKE ALL MEN AVAILABLE. Tfie local draft board has received a call for twenty men to go to Camp Taylor at Louisville and for 25 mep to go to Columbus Barracks at Columbus, Ohio. This will exhaust all the men in Class 1 who are now available, some of the farmer lads having been exempted for the present on account of farm work. The recent ruling of President Wilson 'that no allowance will be made for those who enlisted and for the state militia which is now in the service, is taking those in Class 1 in much larger numbers than expected and it will not be long until those in No. 2 are called for. • Those who will be drawn in the present draft Will have to report for duty between May 20 and 25. Owing to the short notice givpn the board they have not had time yet to draw the names but are working with all possible speed to make up the quota and it would be well for all those in Class 1 to hold themselves in readiness "so as to be able to go when they receive their notice, which will be in the next few days. The names will be published as soon as drawn.
