It seems to be the impression that only the first call of 6,000 are to be examined. In fact -the government later or- dered the entire registry of the Unit- ed States to present themselves be- fore the darft board and all in Bel- trami county who have not done so should do so at once. This is im- perative. If you are among the registered men and have not appeared before the draft board of Beltrami county do so immediately without fail. The board is not compelled to chase around to notify registrants. They should look out for their own inter- ests. Find out where you are “at” without delay. NEGRO SOLDIERS ENTRAIN FOR COLUMBUS N. M..
