Ryan of Newhouse. who appliad for exemption to the district board at Salt Lake City, has been accepted ac-cepted and certified by that body. Five per cent of the forty men to go from Beaver county, or two men to be exact, will have to report to the board at Beaver for duty the first of next week probably on Monday or Tuesday. These two men are supposed sup-posed to be selected by the board because be-cause of previous military service or because they are good cooks. It is supposed that they will be selected and drilled as non-commissioned officers of-ficers and special service men to form the basis of the organization of the new army. The two men thus selected from Beaver county or in any other district may consider themselves very fortunate for they will probably be given the first and best opportunities for advancement above the ranks of the common soldier. sol-dier. At Beaver these two men thus selected and notified will he given definite instructions when and where to appear to take the train for the mobilization camp which, for this district, is located at American Lake, Washington, and which is one of the most interesting and best equipped camps in the entire . United States. They will be handed railroad tickets and meal tickets and will travel in day coaches. Prepare Schedules Provost Marshal General Crowder, the man who has worked out every detail in connection with the raising of a draft army from the first day it was proposed, is now engaged in preparing pre-paring train schedules for the various vari-ous quotas as they are ordered to camp. He will complete these schedules sched-ules this week and will wire them to the local boards. All the boards will have to do is to instruct the men what train to take and give them their tickets. A representative repre-sentative of the board will be at the station to see that the men ordered out report and are entrained. If a man fails to show m up, a military guard will be sent after him and he will be arrested as a deserter. The men will be permitted to take with them these things: extra underwear, under-wear, tooth brush, tooth paste, comb and brush, fresh handkerchiefs. They will not be allowed to have any more baggage; they may bring no food with them. Movement on September 5 On September 5 the movement will be on. At the camp will he the line and staff officers of the division of which the camp is the mobilization point. There also will be the subordinate officers assigned to the regiments to be made up of the drafted men. It probably will be late in the evening ev-ening in the majority of cases when the conscripts begin to report to camp. Before leaving their home station each group will be given a telegraph blank by the representative representa-tive of the local board with orders to wire to the camp commander the time he expects to arrive at camp. These telegrams will be sent from several stations ahead as soon as the conscript is able to judge whether the train will be on time at the camp. In this way the canrp commanders will be able to check up and see that the full quota has arrived, that no man tried to escape by getting off at some station along the line. Full lists of the men forwarded will be wired ahead bv the local boards and these will be checked off as the men arrive. This process will continue for five days September 5 to 9, Inclusive. At the end of that time 5 per cent of the quota of each local board will have been forwarded to the camps. When a man gets on the train to go to the mobilization camp, he enters en-ters another life His civilian associations, asso-ciations, his entire other world are left behind. Nothing is now left to his judgment. Everything that he is to do has been worked out in advance; ad-vance; he is under orders every minute. min-ute. He reports at the camp; there he is assigned to a tent and told to take a bath and where to take it. He goes to the showers, takes his bath, is given something to eat and gos to bed. That is the end of the first day. The next morning the real military life starts. After roll call ami breakfast break-fast the mn is brought before army I surgeons for physical examination. If they confirm the decision of the civilian physicians that he is physically physi-cally qualified for military service as it is expected will be done in 90 per cent of the cases he will be given a uniform and a rifle, other equipment and assigned to a company. com-pany. The men rejected in the army test will be given tickets and sent home. Instructions will be wired to the local boards from which they were drawn to call up other men to take their places. The men chosen will go to the baths that morning in citizen's dress. They will emerge in khaki. In cases of slight physical deformity or underdevelopment, un-derdevelopment, .which, however, would not bar them from the army. special exercises will be prescribed to remedy the defect. The men will berput through these exercises under drill masters and skeleton companies will be formed, and put through light military drill. The men will be "broken in" to the camp life, cleaning up and the hundreds of little daily labors for the soldiers, so that they will be able to train the new men in these details when the second quotas arrive. Sixteen More Kcptemlwr 19 The next movement will be on September Sep-tember 19, when 4 0 per cent of each district quota is called out. Army officials of-ficials believe the men already under training in skeleton companies will be able to assimilate this influx and there will be no confusion. Sixteen More Octolx'r 3 The third quota of forty per cent comes on October 3. Iast From Beaver County A fourth of 15 per cent, completing complet-ing the mobilization, will be called for a later date. |
