Give Time to Say Good.By. Attached to this card, for a reply from the drafted man, is a card for those who prefer to remain at home during the time between reporting at the local board's headquarters and the hour of entrainment. It - reads: I hereby make application for per- mission to eat and srend the night at home during the period I will be un- der the orders of the local board prior to entrainment. During this time a message can reach me at or by telephone at No. , I will at no time be more than'an hour's journey from the office of the local board. I do not desire food or lodg- ing furnished nte by the local board during this period. The regulations require that tho hour of mobilization at local board headquarters shall not be more than twenty-four hours, nor less than twelve houis, prior to the hour of entrainment. The First Roll Call. A sufficient number of men shall be notified to supply one-third of the quota, with five additional for alter- nates. Roll will be called exactly at the hour specified for reporting, and from that moment the men are un- der military rule. Members of the local boards and assistants will remain with the men from that time and will designate one of the quota to act as commander of the number until they reach the cantonment. Coupons for the purchase of meals and transportation will be sup- plied the local boards by the govern- ment, redeemable by any government disbursing agent. A number of the board must accompany the quota to the cantonment, paying all necessary expenses en route wi h these cou- pons. In addition to the roll call, upon reporting, retreat roll call will be made at 6:30 o'clock in the after- noon. Forty-five minutes before entrain- ment time the quotas shall be assem- bled at the depot, roll called again and transportation given out. I'lacing the Alternates.
