DRAFT FOR 9.9tS,30O MEN
WITH CALLS FOR = MILLION

Washington, May 2S.-By CEN
sus bureau estimate today, classify
ing the more than 10 million men
within the military draft age limit,
the number of single men is placed
at 5,372,40O, and the number of
married at 4,545,90O, a total of
9,91S,3O0.
The estimate was prepared on a
basis of a normal increase in popu-
lation since the 1910 census and on
the assumption that the ratio be-
tween married and single men is
the same as at that time.
While the first call will be for
100000 it is expected that at least
100000 men will be ordered into
the army before the end of 1918.
