NO SECOND DRAFT SOON.


Washington, Sept. 7.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder. in issuing
new rulings concerning the execution
OF the selective draft law, today re-
iterated that no date had been set for
a second call for men for the national
army. and that so far as known no
second call Is contemplated by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Rulings issued today provide that n
registrant whose order liability does
not permit Of his being selected for
the first quota cannot, even at his
own request. be advanced and sent
with that quota. .
The acceptance OF substitutes rot
men selected for military duty is pro.
hibited and local boards are instruct
ed not to consider claims of a reg
istrant from the army. navy or marine
corps at the expiration Of enlistment
or for some physical disability since
corrected.
Another ruling Is that registrants
may In certain circumstances be ex-
empted or discharged to enable them
to continue in non-military pursuits
but after they are selected for mill
tary service they may not be assign ed
to non military service.

secretary OF the treasury to license

they are mot harmful to the public

The effect Of the embargo which
applies to all nations. will be to place
absolute control over gold exports in

the Federal Reserve Board. oaicials
believe that the measure will 60 far

gold accumulated in this country
