DRAFT CRITICISM
GIVEN ANSWER
State Headquarters Makes
Clear Some Matters
in Doubt

State draft registration headquar-
ters to-day issued a statement signed
by Col. j. Warner Hutchins and w.
G. Murdock replying to complaints
relative to operation of the draft law
in Pennsylvania. especially the objec-
tions by DIR. c. II. Willis, of a Phil
adelphia district board. 1t is said
forth that all orders issued were at
the Instance of the provost marshal
general and that the National not
the State government pays the ex-
pense.
I'VE notice in the current press
certain complaints and criticisms of
the selective draft service in Penn
sylvanta, and we particularly note
the reported statements of DIR. Will
Its. secretary of district board No.
/, Philadelphia. His statements, and
those growing out of his and other
interviews are so unfair and unjust
that it is fitting to state the facts.
In the first place, we, acting for the
Governor, in the performance of our
duties as defined by national officials,
and not by the Governor, have at no
time issued any instructions or sent
any kilograms to any board that were
not authorized and directed by the
provost marshal generals office. The
messages received from Washington
are far more urgent and insistent
and mandatory than the ones we
send to local and district boards. The
Governor at no time issues any or
ders directly or through us that are
not required by Washington.
DIR. Willis in his statements has
complained that delays in his board
have been caused by the fact that no
funds were given to his board to pay
frv ala 81 IN
ernment, not the State, pays these
expenses, but these must be made
up on proper vouchers, before pay
ment can be made. This has not been
done, and consequently there have
been no payments made to this
board. The Governor has nothing to
do with the payment of board ex-
penses.
I'm reference to the matter of the
two million dollar fund. we would
state that this is only available for
State, and national obligations,
moreover DIR. Willis should know
that board of five, and not the
Governor himself, has charge of the
distribution of this fund. His remarks
have been unfair to the Governor,
who is doing everything in his pow
er to aid in this cause, and we feel
that this statement from us is only
fair to the Governor and to the pub
lie who may have been misled by
what they read.
"As matter of fact the work in
Pennsylvania throughout the regis
tration and draft has been as
promptly and we'll done as possible,
considering the enormity of the un-
dertaking, and any ill-considered and
unfounded statements that may re-
fleet on the honor of the State should
be refuted. The records of this State
at the War Department will show
that Pennsylvania is second to no
State In the Union in matters per-
tanning to the registration and seloc-
tive draft.
The Governor himself is closely
in touch with every move and is
largely responsible for the splendid
results that are being shown this
week in the actual mobilization of
the men of the State who have been
selected to serve in the National
Army"

5000 Selected Men
Are Being Taken Today

Reports received at State draft
registration headquarters to-day in
dicated that in spite of the shortage
of quotas reported by several of the
local boards the movement of drafted
men from the keystone State to-day
would run close to that of yesterday
when close to- 5000 men were started
to Camps Lee and Meade. To-day the
movement to Camp sherman began in.
Western Pennsylvania. Yesterdays
movements were hign because extra
men were taken on special trains
where there was room and other extra
men were sent on regular trains.
The movements scheduled for to-
day include 2,S86 for Camp Meade,
1.910 for Camp Lee and 1.124 for Camp
Sherman. A number of districts,
however, reported shortages and as
extra men were nearly all forwarded
yesterday quotas for to-day may run
lower than expected.
Efforts to have the quotas meet the
figures set for tomorrow are being
made.

ROOSEVELT ARMY
BLOCKS AGREEMENT

Washington, May l9.-Conferees Of
the house and senate on the wal
army bill are trying to compromise
their differences over the question Of
whether Colonel Roosevelt shall be
permitted, as provided by a senate
amendment, to raise a volunteer force
for service In France. Prospects OF
an agreement, however, on this, the
main issue, seemed slight.
The only hope held out for a CON-
promise was said to be based on the
chance that the senate might recede
from its position or the question.
In that case, II was said, the house
conferees might accept the senate
amendment fixing the age limit of
those subjects to selective draft at
tw~enty-one to twenty-seven In lieu OF
the house provision fixing 1t at from
twenty-one to forty.
Failure to reach IN agreement prob.
ably will necessitate the sending OF
the bill back to the two houses for
further instruction.

viii Continue In Secret in Hope OF
Ending Submarine Menace.

Washington, May 10.-Additional In.
formation on experiments with de-
vices for combating German subma-
rines came to the navy department
from scientists who have been work
ing independently of the naval con-
sulting board. A number Of con-
f~erences were held and the board
members who were present at the
conference at Secretary Daniels home
also remained in the city to continue
work with naval experts.
Neither the secretary nor any naval
official would discuss the results OF
the meeting further than to say that
progress was being made and further
experiments would be carried forward
without delay. In some cases extern
sively practical tests already have
been made made with striking results.
There is no doubt that navy Off
Gals were deeply impressed by what
was disclosed at the conference. Some
of them appear to be carefully hold
ing their optimistic first judgment in
check, fearing that an unexpected diff
fculty will arise to bring plans to
naught.

being done probably would result in
adding several different ways and
