Provost Marshal General Crowde1
has urged prompt action by the loca,

men who make no claim for discharge
or exemption. A daily report to the
district boards IS required at the close
of each days work and similarly, dis,
trict boards will report each night tc
the adlutant general the men finally
accented.
"The government will call upon local
and district boards to furnish one
third OF their quota on September t.
General Crowder's message says under
the heading: "The frst call to the
colors"
Every person concerned in the exc.
cution Of the law VIII feel that a
prompt and accurate response to this
call Of the nation is the precise result
for which he has labored so long so
arduouslv and with such unselfish de
votion. daily reports Of progress as
outlined, which General Crowder says
are inserted ito point the way to ex.
pedition and in order to insure that
no state and no local board shall be
placed IN the unenviable position OF
not being able to answer here with
the full third of it's quota on the day
named"
Local boards are urged not to stop
examining men when the quota has
been reached The boards should be
certain beyond doubt that enough men
have been certified, the statement says
adding:
"The more men examined, the more
complete wifi be the response Of the
public mind and the minds Of the men
whose cases would otherwise remain
undecided"
In another supplemental ruling Gen.
eral Crowder states that men serving
prison terms for misdemeanors are not
exempt by reason of that fact. II the
peace authorities will not release them
for military service they will be re-
quired to present themselves for ex'
animation when their prison terms
have been completed.
