 Two hundred thousand of the first 6S7, 900 men will be called up Septem- Der l, and forwarded to their camps before September ,. The whole bus mess of assembling the levies at en- training points, providing them with shelter, food and transportation and giving them their actual induction in to military life is entrusted to the civil ian local boards which selected them for service. Until the men reach the camps, they will not be in contact with uniformed officers. The civilian con- trol is carried forward through every stage of the draft to the very gates of the military camps, where the mak- ing of soldiers will begin, to be com pleted within sound of the guns in France
 The actual call for men will go in each case from the provost marshal general to the state adjutant general. stating the number of men to be sup piled at a specified time by the state. Each local board will be promptly in- formed of it's proportion in the call and the adjutant general will fix the date when men from his state shall entrain for the camps.
 Immediately the local board will make out the list of men to fill the call from the roll of accepted men and it will also fix the place of entrainment and the exact time of departure.
 Orders to the men will be posted and also be sent them by mail. They will be directed to report to the local board at it's headquarters not less than twelve hours or more than twenty -four hours before the time of departure for camp.

The board members are directed to be present in person and to inform the men of their military status, impressing on them the fact that disobedience of orders is the gray est military crime.
