Show SPECIAL DRAFT MEN OfiDEREDTO REPORT Those Who Go to Colorado Are to Be Instructed Tomorrow To-morrow Morning. Draft board No. 2 ordered yesterday that all registrants in that division who have been selected to go to the University Univer-sity of Colorado at Boulder, report at the eapitol at 10 o 'clock tomorrow morning. morn-ing. The quota for this division is thirty men, and each is notified by C. L. Price, clerk of the board, that unless he shall be at the eapitol promptly at the time indicated, some other man will be selected to take his place. Desirability of the course of study and training open to registrants under this call in the University of Colorado, Mr. Price says, is so well regarded that it will be a comparatively easy matter to obtain substitutes for those who fail to observe the order. The boys will entrain en-train for Boulder ou Wednesday, but it is necessary for them to report in order that final . instructions before leaving shall be given them. G. B. Thompson, clerk qf board No. 1, reports that of 2399 registrants in his division, only five are unaccounted for in answer to the questionnaires sent to them, and but five others have failed to report for physical examination after having been summoned. Of the five failing to report this year for physical examination, four were physically rejected re-jected last year. The fifth instance is that of a registrant arrested on a felony charge and whose case has not yet been finally disposed of. Captain F. V. Fitz Gerald, draft executive execu-tive officer for Utah, says that the second sec-ond quota which Utah 'was called upon to furnish is practically filled. The gross quota for the state was 4444. There nave been 2557 enlistments and 1062 inductions, making a total of 3619 credits. This leaves 825 yet to be sent to mobilization camps. Out of this number num-ber the last call was for 808, and this lot will be entrained during the fiver day period beginning May 25. This leaves a balance of seventeen men to be furnished. There is a call yet to come for the quota of negroes from Utah, which will be seventeen or nineteen. nine-teen. Preparations are being made, Captain Fitz Gerald says, to register all young men who havo reached the age of 21 since the registration of June, 1917. These arrangements are being made in anticipation of an early call subsequent to congressional action. |
