military sense Of forming an army vi
men little under aud little over
the majority age.
In everything that the provost mar
shall general has made public concern
ing the plans Of Office he has empha-
sized the fact that it is the intention
of the law that as little hardships as
possible shall be worked upon the coun-
try. The law in effect is self-execut-
ing, and nothing except misunderstand-
ing on the part Of officials and of the
people themselves will interfere to pre-
vent the harmonious working out of
the plan as it has been formulated.
Questions by the thousands have
been asked Of the war department, by
the people since the selective con-
scription act first was proposed. All
these questions have been turned over
for answer to the office Of the provost
marshal general. Personal replies in
every case have been impossible. An
attempt has been made TO make an
swer through the press.
No Favoritisn1 to Be Shown.
The first anxiety of the people of the
United States seemed to concern itself
with the possibility that some moth
er's son was to escape, while another
mothers son was to be made to serve.
Some mothers sons will escape while
others will serve, but there will be no
favoritisln shown in the matter.
All OF the men between the age
limit fixed will not be needed for the
service. Many Of them will be exempt
because of the nature of their employ
ment, or because they have persons de-
pendent upon them for their livelihood.
When the names Of all those who are
liable to service are known, the selec-
tons will be made by lot. One moth
er's son may be more fortunate in the
lottery than another mothers son, but
later the other mothers son may be
obliged TO go.
Enoch H. CroWder, provost marshal
general of the United States, is a grad
uate of the United States Military
academy OF the year 1881. He was
born in Missouri, and was appointed to
West Point from that state Early in
his service he was cavalry officer
and a distinguished one. He stud
led law and entered the judge advo-
cate generals department OF the army.
He was made Judge advocate general

'Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown
