NEWTON COUNTY QUOTA FOR SECOND ARMY IS 92

The conscription board has been advised that Newton county’s quota for thfe second army, now being raised, is 92. Of tMs number 36 are called for June. Six will report to the Chamber of Commence at Indianapalis on June 15th. Two are to leave for the Purdue training school on June 28. , . . A call was also received Wednesday to send 28- to Camp Sherman, at Chilicocthe, 0., during the five day period beginning June 24. This will make a total of 36 from the county for June. ... It must* also be remembered that Newton county has sent 36 to Camp Taylor and 23 to Columbus Barracks since the first army quota was filled, and if these 59 are credited, as they should and probably will be, the calls for June as above set out will fill the county’s quota in the second army. The local board is not informed, however, regarding credits for enlistments made through the board, but have written the adjutant general concerning the matter.
