tions, make your preparations early,
ecause your claim must ‘be filed with

ter you are called.
You are not exempt, no matter
who or what you are, until you have
been examined;

charged until you have demanded ex-
emption or discharge.
You are not exempted automatic.
ally because you are married, or be-
cause of your occupation.
For the information of those who
were obliged to register under the
conscript law in Mount Joy, we here-
with publish each man’s name and

FLORIN CAPTURED ONE
FROM LANCASTER A. A)
Florin turned the tables on the
Lancaster A. A. nine at the former
place on Saturday afternoon, and the
county nine got revenge for the de-
feat handed them earlier in the sea-
son by the Dorwart tossers, when
they counted them with a dose of
whitewash. The final score was b
to 0. Yohn was on the mound for
Lancaster and in che second inning
he took a slight, ascension with the
result that tbe Florin aggregation
fell on him fgr a bunch of hits that
| netted ther four runs. He went bet-
ter from t3.en on until the end of the
game, evlept in the eighth session,
when #".e winners added another run
to thr list. Scere:

DESERTER ARRESTED HERE
LAST TUESDAY EVENING
A deserter whose name we were
unable to learn, was arrested last
Tuesday evening by government
authorities. Neither is it known just
what was done with him or where he
was taken to. Some time ago a tall,
robust looking fellow called at the
home of Mr. Charles Berrier, a far-
mer one mile north of town. He
was given employment but all that
could be learned from him was that
he was a fireman on the President’s
yacht, the Mayflower and that he
had served his time. The presump-
tion is, he deserted. Three soldiers
in uniform, came here in a large
touring car, went out on the fsTm,
placed him under arrest and took
him along.
