UNOFFICIAL FIGURES GIVE 5000
PROBABLEELIGIBLES ON DRAFT PLAN

Only one man out of every four
eligible here for Uncle Sans new
army is likely to be under the Sc
lective draft on the first call, accord
ing to figures worked out by Attorney
Robert w. Breckons, who likes to
analyze statistical possibilities. He
also figures that the total number OF
eligibles in Hawaii will be about 5000,
expecting that by far the larger por-
ton OF those who register Will be dis
qualified for one reason or another.
Breckons works out his figures on
the basis of the 1910 census report
The draft age-21 to 80 inclusive-is
not specifically covered by the 1910
figures. They do show, however, totals
for the ages from Is to "a, which, add
ing on the seven years which have
elapsed, makes % to 81 now, There
will be little difference, he maintains,
between the numbers Of males from
% to II and those from 81 to 80, so
he has assumed that the Is to "a fig
ures Of 1910 can be used for analytical
purposes now. =

ity to citizenship, which takes out the
Japanese and large numbers of others,
subtracting also those who have died
or moved away (all Of which is only
estimated), he finds that 5000 eligibles
remain. There is of course, no in
crease in the number since 1910 b.
birthrate, since those born since that
time are not old enough to come un-
der the draft.
Assuming that the first call under
the selective draft law will be for
100000 men, this is in proportion to
about one In 143 of our national popu-
lation. If Hawaii's quota is worked
out on the same basis, dividing 200,-
COO territorial population by 143 gives
400 as the probable number asked in
the territory in, the first call. Four
teen hundred out of 5000, the estimat-
ed number of eligibles, gives approx
imately one in every four.
Breckons has made liberal margins
for approximations, particularly on
deductions for disqualifications.
