Because of the failure to complete all questionnaires it was of course impossible to compile statistics or the results as has been done with respect to the registrants of the Class of 1917.
Physical Examinations.
The important task of sorting out the physically fit was of course under the direction of the physician member of the Local Board.
When the Board was created Dr. Edmund B. Owens of Dixon was appointed as a member and served as such until he left for the army on October 17, 1917. He entered the military service as a First Lieutenant, was soon made a Captain and shortly thereafter a Major.
Assisting him as examining physicians until his resignation from the Board were Dr. C. H. Bokhof of Dixon, Dr. F. M. Banker of Franklin Grove and Dr. T. F. Dornblaser of Amboy.

WAR HISTORY OF LEE COUNTY, ILLINOIS
Within a few weeks after Dr. Owens' resignation from the Board Dr. C. H. Bokhof hecame his successor and served until the Board was discharged. He had as his aids Dr. W. R. Parker and Dr. R. L. Baird, both of Dixon, and Drs. Banker and Dornblaser who had served from the beginning.
All of these examiners carried on their work efficiently and intelligently and rendered a high degree of patriotie service practically without compensation as the very small amounts of money paid to them in no case adequately compensated them for the many days of arduous work done by them. They are entitled to and should have the approba- tion of the people of our county and the Board is glad to have this opportunity of testi- fying to the thorough and just manner in which they performed their duty in every case.
Induction of Men into Military Service.
The end for which the Board created was to select men for military service and when called upon to induct them into service.
By computations made at the office of the Provost Marshal General it was determined that Lee County's gross quota of the army first to be raised was 295 men, but having 122 men recorded as enlisted, our net quota was the balance of 173 men. That number then was Lee County's portion of the original National Army, as it was then designated, of 687,000 men.
On August 31, 1917 the Board was directed to induet into service on September 4 and to send to Camp Grant on September 5, 1917 ten men. The Board was directed to send, if possible, men with previous military experience and to take volunteers but if a sufficient number did not volunteer, to send in order of order numbers.
It was not necessary to send any men who did not volunteer for as soon as it became known that this increment had been called for the Board was overwhelmed with volunteers.
While but 10 men were called for, the quality of the first 12 men enlisting was so high that the Board determined to send the 12, which was done and all of whom were accepted. The first man to enlist was Paul W. Charters of Ashton, who subsequently entered the third officers training school, was made a 2nd Lieutenant and afterwards promoted to 1st Lieutenant.
The names and addresses of the first 12 and the order in which their names were listed is as follows:

WAR HISTORY OF LEE COUNTY, ILLINOIS
It is the understanding of the Board that Furgeson, Guffey, Sterling and Charters afterwards became commissioned officers and that all of the remainder of this party be- came non-commissioned officers and that all but two saw service in France, the first to leave for France being Spencer, who was at Camp Grant but a few weeks.
