There also arises the serious question OF
determining the credits to which each ex-

mean that the War Department will have 20
prepare long lists OF men enlisted In either
the National Guard or the regular army
since April 2. These enlistments will then
have to he arranged according TO residence
and finally divided according TO the exemp.
ton districts. This work alone will mean
several weeks Of labor by large STATS Of

when the quotas are finally determined
then will come the work of allowing ex-
emptions and discharges. Care and fairness
have been made the watchwords for exemp-
ton boards, and this means that there will
be no hasty hearings of claims and that
every claim must be substantiated When
afiidavits are presented with claims for
exemptions these afiidavits will have to be
investigated. All Of this will entail consid'
cradle time.

Today but 1907 local district boards,
out of a total of 1854, had reported
their organization. This leaves 9i7
local boards yet to be organized before
the draft can be made, and Provost
Marshal General Crowder holds out no
hopes that the selection can be made
until the end of next week at the very
earliest. II is even possible, in the
light of difficulties being experienced
in some of the larger cities, that the
actual drafting may have to go over
another week.
