The image of the original WWI draft card is readable. It shows Vaclav Taubr, born November 17, 1876, age 41, a carpenter, living at 4845 So. Honore St., with wife Francis as nearest relative. It was registered on Sept 17, 1918 through the Cornell Square Park local board in Chicago. This matches every point of the claim.
Matches: Name reads Vaclav Taubr/Tauber, a variant of Václav Tauber; Date of birth reads November 17, 1876, matching the claim; Age 41 fits a 1876 birth and a September 1918 registration; Occupation reads carpenter; Nearest relative is Francis, wife, at the same address (4845 So. Honore), matching wife Frances; Registration date reads Sept 17, 1918 (the year is partly obscured), matching the claim's 1918; Local board is Cornell Square Park, Chicago, Ill. (Cook County), matching the claim's place
Limits: The place of employment is Glenn (Glenn?), Illinois, a different location from the home address; the claim's place of Chicago refers to the registration and residence, which fits; The home address is partly hard to read (4845 So. Honore St.), and the city is not clearly written, but the local board stamp shows Chicago; The card does not mention the nickname James or the death year 1956, so those parts are not tested; Identifying this registrant as the specific Václav Tauber in the database depends on other evidence, though the name, birth date and wife's name all match
