Draft RULINGS.

Governor Milliken has received the
following SeleCtive Service or draft
ruling from Provost Marshal General
L. H. Crowder at Washington:
The voluntary induction of certain
registrants is provided for in section $50
of Selective Regulations, which re
quires local boards to send the appli-
cant for voluntary induction 10 the
nearest mobilization camp. TO provide
a flexible system which will permit men
to be sent to places other than mobili-
zation camps the following will govern
as to the disposition Of men applying
for induction under Sec $50 This sec
ton must be strictly complied with in
all respects except that men should be
sent to places herein indicated instead
OF to the nearest mobilization camp.
Credit for men voluntarily indicted
will be given on the quo called for
next after their induction into military
service and not on the current quota.
White registrants desiring voluntary
induction into the various branches of
the military service hereinafter named
will be sent by local boards only to the
points designated as follows: Aviation
Section, Signal Corps, to Kelly field,
San Antonio, Tex; Land Division, Sig
nal Corps. to Fort Leavenworth. Kan
sas: Medical department, to Medical
officers Training camp, Fort Riley.
Kansas, by local boards west Of the
Mississippi and to Officers Training
camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, by
local boards west of the Mississippi;
Quartermaster's Corps, to Camp Johns
ton. Jacksonville, Fla: Ordnance De-
partment to.Raritan Depot at Raritan.
y. j.: Infantry, by local boards of
Pacific coast states to Fort Mcdowell.
California, by all other boards to
Camp Greene, Charlotte. n. c.
Organization conditions are such
that only white men may be sent to the
places named in this order. therefore
no negroes will be indicted under Sec.
$50 until further 3orders. Supply condi-
tions are such that no men at present
may be indicted under this method for
service in the cavalry. field artillery,
coast artillery or engineer corps. SINH
lar conditions at the mobilization
camps prevent the sending to such
camps of men voluntarily indicted.
Where practicable. men should be
sent in groups even II it is necessary to
delay some applicants as much as a
week. but no delay in excess Of a week
for any applicant is authorized.
The attention Of local boards should
be emphatically directed to the fact
that this method takes the place Of vol
untary enlistment and that since men
indicted under this provision are to be
sent for great distances at considerable
expense to the government the utmost
care should be exercised in their physi-
cal examination and no man should be
forwarded to any destinations men
toned herein unless it is certain that
he is physically acceptable for military
service and local boards should be en-
joined that they are on their mettle to
demonstrate their efficiency as recruit
