With the question of time and place

Crowder and Secretary Baker held

Relieves Doubt About Enlistment.
With arrangements fast being
whipped into completed form, General
Crowder today took time to explain
for the country the absolute need of
drawing all numbers at this time, so
that there may be no doubt in the
mind of any man as to how soon he
may have to respond to the colors.
"A moments reflection will prove
that the whole ten million men should

Local Boards To Call Double Its
Quota Due to Exemptions.

Washington, July 19.-Ten million
men are registered in the United
States for war service-6S7, 900 are
needed in the first call for the national
army Who shall go first?
This question is asked and the
method by which, it is to beaanswered
is outlined by Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder in an explanation is
sued tonight of the great drawing
about to be held in Washington. The
scheme evolved is SO simple that the
drawing of one set of a thousand nu-
merals and another of ten will fix
with absolute equality of chance the
order in which every one of the ten
million registrants shall report to his
local board for examination and sub
sequent exemption, discharge or ac-
ceptance for military service.
Since the average exemption dis
trict registration is 5000 and there
are 4,557 districts, the average num-
Der of men listed with each operation
of the drawing machinery will be
about 10000.
Notify Twice Quota.
General Crowder announces also,
that local boards will be instructed to
call 200 per cent of their quota at the
first call to provide for probable ex-
emptions. That means that 1874, 900
men will be notified to appear for ex-
animation within the next few days.
If more are necessary, they will be
called for as needed by the local
boards in the order provided for in
the drawing.
In some districts the 100 per cent
allowance for exemption may be too
large and in others too small, but the

PARDONS SUFFS
President Wilson Grants Am
nesty to Is Jailed Pickets.
Action Follows Heavy Pressure
by Friends Outside.

Washington, July 19.-President
Wilson today issued pardons for the
sixteen suffragists who are serving a
scixty day sentence in the workhouse
at Occoquan, Va, for picketing in
front of the White House. Secretary
Tumulty said the pardon must speak
for itself and that the White House
would have no statement to make of
the presidents reason for his action.
Early today while the sixteen mil
1tant suffragist prisoners swung into
the drab routine of their second day
at Occoquan prison, pressure from
without was playing on President
Wilson both to get them freed and to
further the cause of votes for W. men.
That the president is more or less
favorable in pardoning them was the
word passed along.
J. A. H. Hoskins, former New Jer-
sey national committeeman whose
wife is a prisoner, is polling congress
to ascertain sentiment on a suffrage
amendment now.

George Gordon Battle, New York

Leaders admit that recent spectac-

to get publicity. The jailed suffrag
lists, accustomed to Injuries, found that
being CARRIED in plain gray smocks,
darning socks, and picking berries
was far from comfortable, but they
did not complain. They did seem,
however to object to the equal
rights" rules that mixed them indfs-
cr1minately with white and colored
women of varying degrees of GRIM
inality.
Won't Stop Picketing.
Woman's party leaders at their
headquarters expressed surprise al

emphatically that 'tpicketing" of the

house have no interest in a pardon .
Miss Mabel Vernon said. They sub

not in the interest of a pardon for
their alleged offense-"
