MOBILIZATION Of
SELECTNE ARMY
STARTS SMOOTHLY

Mobilization Of the drafted men in
fourteen OF the sixteen environments
-Yaphank and eMade being uncom-
pleted-has proceeded without diff
Guilty, according to dispatches receiv-
ed today by Provost Marshal General
crowder. Whether there will be q
second call is within the discretion
of President Wilson, II was announced
today. There is no date set for a
second call. and, so far as is known,
no second call is at present contem-
plated
A number of rulings of interest
were announced today by General
Crowder in kilograms to the COVER
nors of all the States. One holds
that registrRnt whose order OF liabil-
ity Is so late that he is not within
the quota OF a local board cannot,
even on his own request, be advanced
and sent with the quota.
The fact that more than one person
Is selected from n single family is
not of itself ground for exemption
or discharge, according to General
Crowder. The fact was emphasized
today that the selectiye service law
specifically prohibits the acceptance
of substitutes for men selected for
military duty. The obligation is per-
sonal and cannot be transferred.
It was also pointed out by General
Crowder that the draft is for the
purpose OF Increasing the military es-
tablishment Registrars may in
certain circumstances be exempted or
discharged to enable them to continue
in nonmilitary pursuits, but after
they are selected for military service,
they may not be assigned to nonmili-
tAry service.
Persons may not be exempted to
permit them to enlist" nor, under the
Presidents regulations, may q person
who has once been called by a local
board thereafter enlist, even after
he has been exempted or discharged
from draft, according to the provost
marshal general. This regulation may
be modified by the President after all
quotas are filled, but for the present.
exempted or discharged registrants
may not enlist voluntarily.
