When a questionnaire is received the person raceiving it must retorn 4t within one week or he is automatically placed in the class des¬ ignated as Class 1 which is the list from which names will be first taken for the next draft lista when men are required for active service.
These papers are sent to every name on tiie list, excepting the men now in active serviee in the Army and Navy. All exemptions and discharges for physical or a^tever reason, are withdrawn and the men must file the blanks properly filled out.

The following card sent to the men with their blanks, explains the proced¬ ure if assistance is desired in filling out the blanks:

An tbe soUiers having left Camp Mills for the present and tbe number of soldiers and sailora on our streets behig almoat as in times of peace, tbe need for keeping Amy Headquartera open longer seems removed and aftar a quiet Saturday and Sunday duriac adiicb not over a couple dos«i soldiers visited the rooms it was decided to close for tbe present which baa ac¬ cordingly been done. The memben ef Tnfek Company No. 1 (Excelaior) having volunteered the ase of tbate*! rooms as needed the equipment at Headquarters including the phono¬ graph and records books games and writing material was sent down there. AReaume of the Work Dnring the three months that Head¬ quarters bave been open we hace en¬ terUined over lOiOOO, possibly 20,000, soldiers and sailors, the most of tiiem on Saturday or Sunday nights, wben we furnished them with coffee, cake or sandwiches, smokes and writing material. Friendships have been made which will be lasting, we have made a j reputation for hospitality and bavej also become better acquainted with ojir own next door neighbors. It hss been a work well worth while. Our Appreciation The officers and committees are grateful to all who have helped by the loan of fumsihings by cash refresh¬ ments smokes reading material and personal services and to all in tem¬ porarily closing we would say "Merry Christmas and thank fou." May your Christmastide be the more happy for the work you have so cheerfully don« for others.
Our Finances We have more than enough cash on hand with which to pay our bills.   As soon as the treasurer can find the time itemized  statement will be  pre¬ sented for publication.
Ptotes and Paaa Left A considerable number of plates and pans not called for have been left President Swezey's office, where they may be obtained at any time.

November 13, 1017. Somewhere hi France. Dear Mr. Nutt:—
Well the boys sll arrived ssfely on this side, about a week ago. We had a pleaaant trip without any startiing incidents of any nature. Tbe weather was exceptionally good. Mast be the good luck of the Rainbow Div. How about it?
We are now in camp bere and it is a dandy. Very good barracks instead ef the tonto we had at Camp MiUs. But we get plenty of work here to keep ns busy. Havent as much time to go down to Freeport as I used to. Ha! Ha! Gee but I sure wish that I could see you all again and have some of that Saturday night coffee and cake.
WhUe I am speaking of Feeeport let me again thank you moat sincere¬ ly for all that you and our other friends at Army Headquarters did for US. It certainly helped a lot to keep ns feeling cheerful. Believe loe wben we get baek I'm coming to Preeport to see you aU before I go home.
I'd Uke to teU yoa aU about tbe Ufe here, but you know it isnt permitted.
Thank yoo again for tboSe favors which you did for me before wa left tbe U.S.
WudiiBg yoo a very merry Christ¬ inas aad a Happy New Year, I am. Herbert H. Beck, Battery E, 149tii Field ArtiUery.

Camp Wadsworth, Spartansbwg,   8.   C. Dee. 8, 1917. Dear Bro. PearsaU:—
I received year letter addreesed to me at Camp Meade and foroordad to va bere.
Oor company is ne more, nr rather thera are very few of us left The finsJ eraab came yaatarday when 600 men were ordered to be tranaferred to the IOTtb Infantry and 10«tb Machine Gub Battolion, formeriy tha 7th In¬ fantry aad 1st Cavalry.
Tbara ase abont 15 omo left in onr compaay who left Bempstead with us on Febraary 4th. We bave a totol of about 50 in oUr compaay,'of which 7 are awaiting physical discbarges, 1 is in the hospitol and in the final count there are about 8 privates and 20 non- coms ready to drill.
Our captoin feels quite bad about losing most of bis Oien and tokes it to heart quite a good deal.
Company I of Flushing represented this regrent in tbe footiwU touras- ment between the 105th (23rd), lOdth (2nd) and the IOth Regiments. To¬ day Company I played the Headquar¬ ters Co. of the 106th Infantry for the championship of our street and we won.
The fatare !for the lOtb does not look very rosy and from all the rum¬ ors one hears down hen why yon can hardly believe anything. The most persistent one that I hear is to the ef¬ fect that we are going to be skeleton¬ ized and then filled up with drafted men. AU tiuit will be left will prob¬ ably be the officers, top sergeanta and the sapply sergeant, all the rest wUl probably be transferred to the 27th Diviaion.
WeU as that is about aU I can write about I wiU close.
Fraternally,

Mr. Smitii F. Dear friend:-
I arrived here safe and sound after a long and tiresome journey and like being one of Uncle Sam's men. It seemed strange a few hours being up here alone. I have a partaer to bunk with and we make the best of it I met one of our local boys who also enlkted in the army. We spent quito a few hours together and I en¬ joyed his company very much while U^:ether. Hk name k George Pro- siani or something Uke that If you do not know who I mean I wUl tall you that he belongs to Hose Co. No. 1 of Preeport (George Presiosi). The eato are very good ap bere. We had a blizzard, and since that time it has been very cold. I get up at 4:30 a. m. and get ready for mess. I expect to leave here soon, and when I do and get settied I would Uke to have you send me a copy of yoor newsy paper so that t can read of tbe doiags from our great village. If possible, ask your brother if be wfli toll the boys from Track 1 tbat I bOIre enlisted and send my best wkhes of good lock to them , and hope that I may be back once again aad roU eat with the truck. Kindly Oxcuse ny penmanship as I am writing thk letter on my cot as that k tbe beat deak I ean use as tbe Y. M. C. A. k vary crowded.
