Enrollment Act and draft exemptions debated in Indiana
The Enrollment Act moves to register all citizens liable for military duty with exemptions to be claimed before a draft board. A $300 substitute cost is favored to ease those unable to serve, while the government contends the act sets a personal liberty balance. Reports from Rush County claim enrollment officers faced resistance near Manilla. An Indiana physician fined for license failure and a military commission in Murfreesboro convicting Mrs. Patterson who received a three year confinement.
