service and each had to furnish his
own equipment, rifle, powder and
ball, or if he was in the Cnvalry, his
own horse and outfit.
The draft machinery is not being
put in motion at as early a date as
the war department originally pro­
posed. This was, in pert, due to the
refusal of congress to be stampeded.
Because of the delay it has been im­
possible to expand housing facilities
for the mobilized national guard and
the draftees, and the war depart­
ment has assured the public that no
soldiers will be called into training
untl there is shelter, clothing and
blankets for all. For this reason the
concentration at Fort Lewis, Wash.,
will not attain its maximum until
early next year, as at least three
months will be required to construct
the hundreds (Ml) of buildings at
that place. The new buildings being
rushed at the various camps will not
debt he has tailed to do so.
“Wendell Willkie rose from the
ranks and knows what it is to go out
and earn a living by the sweat of his
brow. He had the ambition and the
brains to climb the ladder to success
and from personal experience knows
the problems we face.
“As a life long democrat and pres­
ent democratic precinct committee-
man, 1 am going to vote for Wendell
Willkie because I believe he is big
enough, intelligent enough and has
the business ability to solve our econ­
omic problems without messing in a
war three thousand miles away.”

for immediate service 89,000 in Wash- be fee tar pape r af f air s thrown to-
ington and 42,100 in Oregon.
However, these 111,100 expected to
be immediately available will not be
called to the colors—thousands of
them never will be. The quotas for
the two states will be about 5,000 for
Washington and 3,050 for Oregon. In
the first call only about 950 will be
conscripted in Washington and 580
in Oregon. The quota is to be filled
between November and Januarjl.,
War department wishes to be at
lenient as possible with married men
within the conscription age, the de­
sire being to disrupt family life as
little as possible. What constitutes
“dependents” will be one of the knotty
questions, but the local boards are ex­
pected to use common sense. Con­
siderable newspaper attention has
been given to a rush of young men
to marry in order to escape the draft.
The nunober of such cases has been
exaggerated. It appears, however,
that unless a man was married be-
ore the precise minute that the
president signed the bill making it
a law, he can not claim exemption or
deferred status on account of his
matrimonial state.
Frequently the statement is made
that this is the first time a draft
has ever been applied in the United
States in peace time. That statement
is incorrect. For many years, prior
Communities throughout the nation,
to the war between the states, every
male citizen was subject to military as well as in Oregon and Washington,
