John H. Nagel, Rensselaer Joseph Profaosky, Rensselaer Just when the men will ibe called to the colors is not known but a dispatch from Washington states that at least two weeks’ notice will be given. At the present time supplies are not available for the remaining quotas and the quartermaster general is unable to say when supplies and equipment will make it possible to call the last 40 per cent of the men. There is no indication that the call will be issued for several weeks. The fact that the above men have been certified for service does not necessarily mean that all will be called to the colors with the remaining 40 per cent. There are still a number of men on the waiting list who have been previously certified and who will be subject to call first, and only sufficient will be taken from the above list to complete the quota. /
