Draft Will Net 1,500

Approximately 1,500 out of 50,000 men between the ages of 18 and 25 who will register in Hawaii for the first peacetime draft will be taken into the armed service during the next twelve months, according to army headquarters at Ft. Shafter.

All Hawaii recruits will receive their training here and will not be sent to the mainland. On August 10 and 11 the first group of 18-year-olds were enlisted for one year service in the army. Hawaii's quota of 18-year-olds is 450 a year.
