beween states for the honor Of being
first to fill their quotas under the Sc

est Calling up men for physical ex-
animation begun this morning in sew
cral regions.
Meanwhile details of the machinery
for actually calling the accepted men
into service and sending them to their
mobilization camps are being worked
out. Provost Marshal General Crowd
er has already ruled that the claim of
the navy attaches to any registered
men as soon as the local selection
board has posted him as accepted.
Subject to Military.
From that time on, unless exempted,
he viii be subject to military law and
the articles Of war. Failure to appear
when called will bring the military
forces of the provost marshal general
in search of the missing man and he
will be tried for any violation Of reg
ulations before court martial. This
ruling was necessary in order to en-
force the prompt compliance of all ac-
cepted men with the army orders.
1t appears probable that the accepted
men, when the mobilization order for
the new army is given. will be first as
sembled in their selection board head
quarters.
Their distribution among the sixteen
environments. General Crowder said to-
day, would be governed by two rules
first, the section Of the law requir-
ing that they be assigned, as far as
practicable, to duty with troops from
their own state, and, secondly, the To-
cation Of the nearest cantonment to
reduce the transportation problem as

against the board OF county commits
Sioners OF Oklahoma county to secure
salaries OF 5000 per annum was filed
in district court today by Arleigh f.
Bockoven. county treasurer, through d.

This suit attacks the constitu,ionali,y
OF Chapter 2l2 OF the session laws OF

county treasurer OF counties with less

scale, the salary OF those in counties
having a population OF from $4,000 10
10000 being fixed at 5000 but those
over $1,000 only receiving $500 a year,
Mr. Bockoven declares that this act Is
a local and special act and therefore
unconstitutional
Mr. Levy stated tha, within a few
days he would file the suits of Sheriff
