THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1917

DRAFT OF CIVIL WAR PERMITTED MANY TO ESCAPE ' i v ' " Substitute . Could be Provided for $300 No Favorites Played Now. During the entire Civil war only 17 903 men were conscripted for military service In Indiana, according to old records.' Under the present selective ccnscription plan. 17.510 men will be conscripted In the state when the first draft is made. However, Indiana furnished 208,367 men for the armies of the North during the four years of the war, caused partially by the stimulation in recruitlog following the announcement of the conscription plan. All Treated Alike. Unlike the conscription plan of the old days, the present army bill, under "vbich 687.000 will be drafted for military service, "plays" no favorites, all citizens being treated alike. All men, between the ages of IS and 45 years were eligible for service under the law of that time. The injustice of the old law is shown in the fact that men could be relieved from bearing arms on payment of $300 and over 1,200 were exempted on these grounds. No one can buy his "way out" under the present law. Rich and poor are treated alike. About $20,000 was collected from these "conscientious men, opposed to tearing arms" when the matter was submitted to the secretary of war, by Govrnor Morton. Indiana's "great war governor," who recognized the Inequality of it The complaints were general, however, and on July 4. 1864, the law was repealed by congress. Indiana's Quota 42,500. - The call of July 2. 1S62 for 300.000 men was still pending when the call of August 4. 1862 was issued for a similar number, to serve for nine months. Indiana's quota, fixed on the tests of population, was 42.500. But there was no lagging on the part of the young men and by September 20. both calls, with the exception of 6.050 men, had been filled. The draft, looked upon as disgraceful but still favored because of the fact that it would equalize the burden r,t bearing arms among the townships, as conducted on October 6." Only One Disturbance A total of 3.003 men was actually drafted and only one disturbance was reported. A number of men, in Blackford county, opposed to the draft,, destroyed the box and it was several days before the men were selected. Jesse P. SIddall, of Richmond, whose haarimmrtArB wn In TnHlanannlla rnn-

ducted the draft The mode of drafting was very much the same as It will be under the present law, which will take 17,500 men 'from Indiana in the name of democracy. . The names of all who were liable to draft in each township were written on separate ballots which were folded and placed in a wheel or box from which some person, blindfolded, drew a number of ballots equal to the quota due from the township being drawn. ' Sent to Camp Sullivan A notice was then served , on tho

men selected requiring them to report at the county seat within five days. They were then sent to "Camp Sullivan" at Indianapolis. The draft system continued and on March 3, -1863, Congress passed the "Enrollment Act" enrolling all citizens, capable of bearing arms between the ages of 18 and 45 years, and to call forth the national forces by draft any time they were required. The act of Congress established a new system of raising recruits for the army and a new bureau, under the Provost Marshal General, was created. After the draft of 1862 no further calls were made until , June, 1863, when a call for "six months" men was Issued and filled with volunteers. Increased to 500,000 On October 17, of the same year, a cal for 300,000 men was issued and increased to 500,000 on February 1, 1842. On March 14, it was again increased, this time to 700,000. Indiana's quota was declared to be 45,529 under the calls. To fill the demands 37,011 men enlisted, which, added to the surplus of 11,011 in excess of previous calls, left still a surplus In favor of the state of 2,493 men, making the resorting to the draft law unnecessary. . On July 18, 1864, another call for 500,000 men was issued, Indiana's quota being 25,662. This was filled with drafted men and substitutes and naval recruits and re-enllsted veterans. The last call was Issued on Dec. 19, for 300,000, which was filled principally by volunteers. The draft was conducted in March of the following year and 2,424 men were secured in that way.

Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get that at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, atout a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an & mdance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair drins quicklr and evenly and .o soft, fresh looking, bright, lluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosans and takes out every particle of dust, dirt anc dandruff. Adv.
