New Plans for Mobilization Of Army

Washington.-At the direct sugges-
ton of President Wilson Provost Mar
shall General Crowder has telegraphed
to all governors supplemental ex-
PLANTATION of regulations governing the
status of married men under the Sc
lective service law. No change in the
regulations is made and the purpose
of the new statement is to clear up
misunderstanding which have arisen
in what General Crowder described
"a few instances"
In a letter to Secretary Baker,
quoted by General Crowder, President
Wilson states his opinion that the
regulation directing local boards ito
establish the fact of dependents in ad-
dition to the fact of marriage ought
not to be abrogated." This leaves the
regulations as they are and the sup
Elementary statement is designed mere
ly to make the application of the rules
uniform among all boards.
While the statement regarding mar
ried men was in preparation new or
ders were issued, changing entirely
the mobilization arrangements pre-
viously made. Congestion of rail traf-
fic and the necessity of making better
provision for the reception of the men
at the environments dictated the
changes.
Under New Orders.
Under the new orders S per cent of
the white men, preferably those with
military experience, from each local
area will be started forward to the
camps September S, instead of 80 per
cent They will go in five daily de-
tachments of equal size and form
skeleton company organizations and
set up going concern into which the
remainder of the total quota can be
absorbed without confusion as they
reach the environments.
The next 40 per cent of the quota
will 60 forward September 10, when
the second 80 per cent originally was
scheduled to go; second 40 per cent
will go forward October 3, instead OF
the third 80 per cent, and the remain
ing Is per cent will be called up as
soon thereafter as practible.
Select First 5 Per Cent.
Local boards are directed to disre-
gard order of liability numbers to
some extent in selecting the first s
per cent, as men of experience, such as
cooks and former soldiers, are desired
at that time.
Warning is given, however, against
getting into this levy by reason of his
experience any man who might not
otherwise have been included in the
first increment of the district at all.
