At least half Of the IA 900 men who have
been accepted recruits for the new Ma
tlonal Army will march tomorrow In the
great parade that is to sweep down Broad

division In which the drafted men will ap.
pear. He made tour of the fifty-one
exemption boards in the city, stirring up
interest in the demonstration and receiving
reports as to how many men would par
toipate. The figures given him were very
indefinite, but he is confident that not less
than half the men who have been passed
will be In line,
Under Marshal Caccavajo the thousands
of conscripted men will form In three
sections: first with red banners, second
with white and the third with blue. Each
Will be headed by a military aid and spe-
cial leaders will be selected for each Of the
ifty-one organizations. Members of each
exemption board will head their deiega-
tons In automobiles, and the cars will be
designated as headquarters for the men as
they gather at the various assembly points.
one of the most Interesting parts Of the
conscripted mems division Of the parade
will be the fourteen women of the Motor
Messenger Service, who will be In line as
members of the staff. They have rendered
invaluable service In organizing the turn

the committee OF the Builders Exchange,
of which w. Nelson Mayo is chairman
This Is the same committee that did such
splendid work in connection with the de-
parture of the Nineteenth Engineers reg.
