ness and Injustice Of this distribution" escaping notice,
the Provost Marshal! General was distinctly made
acquainted with the fact that claim for all the two and
thiee-year men was made for New York
That General Fry knew oil about this matter when he
assigned the quotas the first time, is proven by tie
following:
