Philemon Guillotte, Philemon Guillotte has been obliged to return to his home, after having enlisted in the aviation corps. He was all ready to leave Boston when the men were asked if any of them had been drafted. He was one who had. A peculiar circumstance was that although he enlisted two waeks before he was drafted, he recetved both draft and enlistment papers the same day. He was sent to New Lon- don to the examining board to get the proper paper. They sent him back to Boston, without saying he must have a paper from headquarters at Boston. Beston sent him back to New Lcndon, and fipally neither office has given him any satisfaction. He hus been traveling between Boston and New London from Monday to Thurseay at his own expense. His letter shows he enlisted before he was drafted, but that seems to make no difference. He was told his name was on the draft- board before he enlisted. He had given up a fine paving position - in Waltham, Mass., and now will prob- ably will have to wait his call to go with the drafted men. Pleasing Sole Number.
