DRAFT MAY MISS 5 COUNTIES
Adjt. Gen. Holway Polls State TO De-
termine Number of Men to
Be Called Out.

Madison - When President Wilson
proclaims the first draft to fill the reg
ular army and the national guard, he
will find Wisconsin far ahead OF The
schedule, according to Adjt Gen, Or
lando Holway, who has just completed
poll of the state by counties to de-
termine how many men each county
will have to furnish.
Under the draft act the quota for
each state is determined according TO
the population and credit is to be CIV
en- for the number of men who were
in military service in the guard on
April /, or who have entered the
guard or the regular army since that
date. Holway's toll does not include
the men who have enlisted in the reg
ular army since April l. He is still
seeking this information.
According to Gen. Holway's figures
the following counties will DE exempt
from the first draft: Ashland, Forest,
Green, Pepin and Sawyer.
The first draft is proposed to bring
the strength of the army and the
guard to 100000. Wisconsin's national
guard strength, when completed by re-
cruiting will be 21,500 men, part OF
which will offset the first draft to fill
the army and will also be part offset
to the second draft of 100000. The
second draft will bring Wisconsin's
quota of men to $4,000. Add to Wis
21,5O0 glardsmen $500 men
enlisted in the regular army since
April /, and Wisconsin, will have to
furnish only about 5000 men under
the second draft.
Gen. Holway, however, is urging en-
Iistment in the gard or regular army
in the hope that when the
second draft comes Wisconsin will al
ready have completed its quota of 3d.
500. A campaign to enlist 1000 men
has been started in forty-fve counties
in Wisconsin, and the date set for the
of this work is July 1. If
the goal is reached, 100 men must vol
unteer for service every twenty-four
hours, or four to a county.

to the state department yesterday, are
designed to justify the severity of the
terms set forth by the entente in their
reply to the note of President Wilson, the
formal acceptance in principle of some
sort of national sanction as TO treaties
and international law is regarded as of
great Importance.
1t has been officially stated that presi.
dent Wilson's next step has not been de-
termined upon. Many officials believe
the terms of the British note may afford
an opportunity for move toward the
establishment of some such national
sanction. even if it be with a view of
having it come into force at the close of
the war.
