New York is practically ready for
the draft By midnight l07 exemption
boards had either sent their duplicate
sets OF cards with names OF draft reg
istrants to Adjutant General Stotes-
bury in Albany or delivered them At
the office of the Mayors Committee
on National Defence. whence they are
being sent to Albany. Most of the
boards have dispatched their serial
lists 10 Washington.
Deputy State Attorney General Ros-
coe 5. Conkling. assigned TO the state
adjutant generals office, said that his
expectations mad been fulfilled By me
New York City exemption boards, and
that he saw no reason for changing

mary work of the exemption boards
would be substantially finished last
night. He expected that all the boards
would clean up their work early to-day
Thereafter the board membeb can

Board No 10, in Brooklyn, was the
last to report to the Mayors Commit
tee on National Defence. Philip j..
McCook, chairman OF the committee,
and Deputy Attorney General Conkling
were afraid that No. 79 was lost, and
were just starting out to look Tor u,
when George l. Laird its only member,
reported by telephone that he and
twenty-six men and women, including
all the members OF his family, and all
working for nothing, had been toiling
oevr the records for two days and
nights. Mr.. Laird said, by way OF
apology, that he had been too busy TO

Of work which had to be done to pre-,

early yesterday afternoon.
Praise for Boards
Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. McCook last
night had nothing but praise for the
exemption boards and the volunteers,

Cou. Mccall Protests
Against Quota Asked
From Massachusetts

Boston. July IA protest against
the Federal estimate of 3,93g,66l as
the present population of Massachu-
setts, on which the states quota of
the draft army is TO be based, was
made by Governor Mccall tonight in
a telegram to United States Senator
Lodge at Washington.
Doubtless the Federal authorities
desire a just basis" said the message,
"but this basis of estimate upon reg
istration for draft seems to me un-
sound. as it penalties states where
registration was complete and thor-
ough. in comparison with states where
registration was incomplete
Pointing out that the actual popula-
ton Of the 1915 census was 3,o93,5lo'
the Governor continued:
Assuming the average increase IN
two years has been the same as during
the fve-year period between 1917 ana
l9l5-although it is probably less, as
immigration has been greatly reduced
the state population would now be
approximately 3.s24.0 .068, or 1lb,4ss less
than the Federal estimate.
Massachusetts,, of course, STANDS
ready TO furnish her full quota, but
that quota should not be placed too
high by reason of faulty methods IN
estimating population. The Federal
estimate Of the population of Chico
nee. Cor instance. is 10000, although
two years ago it had only 10000. Other
nlaces show discrepancies both too
high and too lew. Although | can cor
rect this inequality as between cities
and towns Of the state. cannot change
the quota of the whole state"
Arrangement Of quotas for citles: and
towns is progressing under the direc..
ton of Charles +. Gettemy, director OF
military enrolment. 1t is announced
that in correcting the apparent dis
crepancies the state officials will add

Washington. July 17.-Drafting Of

and her allies, unless their own gov
ernments shall make a special protest.
is provided for in tentative resolu-
tion framed by Chairman Chamber
lain of the Senate Military Committee
to-day. This resolution aims to pre-
vent the injustice which would be done
New York City and other communi-
ties having a larger unnaturalized pop
ulation through draft based on esti-
mated population, instead of men eli
gible TO service.
Senator Chamberlain showed the
resolution to Senator Calder, of New
York, who first made the protest
against the injustice which would be
done New York City. and Mr.. Calder
expressed entire satisfaction. Senator
Brandegee. who yesterday protested
against the plans for allotting the
draft, also approved the Chamberlain
resolution. Mr. Chamberlain said he
would introduce it. and expected il TO
be passed in time to prevent the injus-
tice being done.
Aliens Now Exempt
The resolution results from the de-
cision of the War Department not to
draft for the National Army any aliens
who have not attained full Amerian
citizenship. Even first paper men are
not to be drafted The resolution pro-
vdes that such aliens, who have been
in the United States for one year shall
be drafted unless their own govern
ments shall make protest against this

action. This is designed to get around
the objection Of the State Department
that the drafting OF aliens who are ma
tionals of some Of the European coun-
tries would be in contravention OF
treaties between the United States and
those countries.
II was pointed out to-day that the
country with such a treaty with the
United States which has the larges,
number Of nationals in this country un-
naturalzed is Italy, and it was de-
clared to be highly improbable that
Italy would object to her new ally
making use Of such Italians as had
come to this country and not been nat
uralized, especially as the purpose OF
the United States in drafting these Ital-
ians would be TO use them in fighting
ltaly's enemies.
The text of the Chamberlain resolu-
tion is as follows:
Resolved by the Senate and House Of
Representatives Of the United States of
America. in Congress assembled. that in
the execution of the selectve draft author
lied by the act Of Congress approved May
is. 1917. entitled AN act 10 authorize the
President 10 increase temporarily the mill
taTy establishment Of the United States"
all aliens resident in the United States for
more than one year. exclusive of alien enc
mics and alien subjects Of any country a.
lied with the enemy country. who have not
declared their intention 10 become citizens
shall be subject to he drafted for military
service upon the same terms and under the
same conditions as citizens Of the United
States;
Provided. That aliens who are subjects
Of countries with which the United states
has treaties eXemptng its subjects from
compulsory or other military service shall
he exempt from the draft upon the applica-
tion Of the diplomatic representative OF
such country
And. provided. further. That aliens who
claim such exemption shall he allowed 10
depart from the United States within nine
ty days from the date OF the allowance OF
their claim for exemption or TO he deported
if remaining within the United States be-
yond said time.
All But Seven States Ready
All but seven Of the states had re-
ported completion of their local ex-
tllPNiOh hidNIlItIN bV-hibh'
aging officials in their hope that draw
ing of lots to determine the order Of
liability under the selective conscrip-
tion law may be held before the end of
the week. Four states reported ready
during the day, and the War Depart
ment has been informed that in those
remaining 10 report only few local
districts are missing.
The states from which reports Of
complete exemption arrangements were
received during the day are Utah, Ala
bama, Ohio and Virginia.
Reports still are to come from
Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan. Mis-
sssippi, New York, Missouri and Penn

Comment is freely made at times as
to the duties and limits of action of va
rious bodies, When any organization
may prove a power for good, it is
base to betray its possibilities. An
instance of what a Rotary club is do
ing comes in editorial mention in the
Augusta Chronicle:
For the second time recently
the Rotary Club of Augusta yes
terday afternoon discussed in de-
tail the menace of the boil wee
vii, as affecting, not only the agri-
cultural interests of this section
of the South, but as also vitality
related to the business interests of
Augusta and this part of the
South.
Only last week a meeting was held
il an effort to stimulate life in the
Chamber of Commerce of this city. ct
this gathering it was impressed upon
the few people assembled the duties
Of the Chamber of Commerce in the

needs some common assemblage for
