Washington, June 11.-Twenty-six
states and the District Of Columbia
having all told slightly more than SO
per cent OF the country's population,
had sent In complete reports of their
military registrations Of 4.716.786
young men for war service.
For the territory reporting the cen
sus estimate was 5,372.596 eligibles.
and on the basis Of the returns it was
calculated the grand total of registra-
ton probably would be little more
than 9,O00,000 in place Of the 10,264.-
900 as forecast by the census experts.
The reports show white registra
tions totalling 3.501.46e. colored 634,-
Ito. alien 277057, and enemy aliens
45,018. Possible exemptions indicated
totalled 2.6Os.624.
Officials pointed out that the census
figures were intended only as approx.
Innate and that the discrepancy should
not be taken as indicating evasion Of
the draft It was also pointed out that
between 100000 and 100000 men in
cluded in the estimates already are
members Of the armed forces OF the
nation and therefore did not register.
Many Of the states which previously
reported complete returns are sending
supplemental reports adding to their
totals. Delay in registering. especial
ly among these who registered b,
mail, is responsible This shifting Of
totals may delay final tabulation for
a week or more
In some states. too, there was confu-
sion over classification over those reg
istering, making 1t difficult to tabulate
In concise form even the returns so
far received.
Pennsylvania registered almost Il
hundred thousand more men than cen
sus estimates, according to figures re-
ceived by the War Department. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh reported the regis
t-ation of 95O,30O. The census figures
anticipated were s79.3SS.
Working on Regulations.
The War Department is working on
regulations for the second step In the
army draft, selection by lot OF a pro-
portion of young men registered.
while the provost marshal generals
office was compiling data on the reg
istration.
1t may take a week or ten days to
complete the nationwide tabulations.
Then the War Department will pre-
scribe rules for drawing names Of men

drafted may appeal.
