Washington, June 12.-The total reg
istration under the draft act will total
approximately 9,5Oo,0OO, according to
the estimates made by the Provost Mar
shal's office to-day, with official figures
from twelve states missing and with
incomplete figures from four states.
The census estimate Of the total num-
Der of males in the country within the
registering age is 1925, 900, but this
does not allow for some 10000 men in
military and naval service not required
to register. With other allowances
which should be made, it was consid-
cred by officials that SO per cent Of the
census estimate would be virtually a
100 per cent registration. The final
figures will. as matter Of fact. exceed
that and probably will 90 over 80 per
cent. The present total reported. with
twelve states missing, is slightly over
90 per cent Of the estimate for those
states. and the largest figures still to
come will be from states in which the
heavy percentage Of registration has
been unoffcially reported, especio ly
Indiana, Pennsylvania and Massachu-
setts.
2.750.000 Ready to Serve
The totals already indicate that OF
the final registration about 2,i5oOOO
will have offered themselves WITH
out indicating any exemption because
of physical disability, dependent rela-
tives or occupational claims other
words. that 2,750000 are placing tnenl-
selves freely in their country's hands
for such disposition as best serves the
country's needs.
This does not mean that that number
will be subject TO selection Tor service
and not entitled 70 exemption. IL means
that this figure represents those VINO
have no outwardly visible disability no
dependent relatives and no occupa-
+;onal claim TO exemption The Presl-
dent will later promu!gate the eNem p-
tion rules. which will doubtless make
some men exemptable who claimed no
evemption. and make subject to SER
vice some who have claimed exemption.
MANY otherwise liable TO service VIII.
of course. be exempted because Of
phvsical disqualification which appear
only upon thorough examination by a
nhysician. such as each man will re-
ceive before being definitely chosen for
service.
Some Of the states not yet reported
will show excesses over their census
estimates, according 20 incomplete tab
ulations. and will help 70 raise the
aggregate percentage.

confounded confusion is all can make
OF II, said an official
After consulting the state laws on
militery service. Mr.. Schneider issued
this statement 40 clear the situation:
County Clerk Schneider wishes TO
say 20 the men of New York County
between the ages of eighteen and
forty-tive, inclusive) who arc subject
TO the military draft for the state
militia:
Under the military law, in time of
war all exemptions are revoked except
the exemptions prescribed by the
President ard exemptions relating 10
idiots. lunat:cs, habitual drunkards,
paupers, vagabonds and convicts.
Federal Exemptions
"The Federal exemptions are judges
and officials of the Federal and state
courts, the army and navy, mail SER
wee. custom house employees, sailors at
present employed in the merchant ma
rine and Quakers. except that Quakers
shall not be exempted from duty, which
shall be proclaimed by the President
to come under the heading of non
combatant.
"The following are not exempt:
Preachers. doctors, dentists, students
Of all descriptions, chemists and men,
bers of all professions or others who
want to be exempted for purely per-
sonal reasons.
Those who receive the red slips at
the registration stations. telling them
70 record their exemption claim at the
County Clerks Office within fifteen
days. have no right to a claim unless
they come under the exemptions named
above. Otherwise their trip to the
Courthouse will be useless, as no
exemptions except as named are being
received here"
Blanks Lost in Transit
Lack of blanks caused several regis
tration stations 10 close yesterday and
hampered the work of others. The
clerks at the Boys High School. IN
Brooklyn. were sent home because their
supply had been exhausted. The Ja-
maica Training School for Teachers
also stopped work. One million blanks
for use here were lost in transit from
Albany. The warehouse at 43 East
Thirteenth Street was kept busy shift
ing blanks from places where they were
not needed to places where the supplies
had given out.
THE exhaustion of blanks at many
places was due TO the rush OF people
TO register the first two days" said Di-
rector Goodrich. The eagerness of
people TO get their names listed early
surprised US. We are confident that
the census could have been completed
in much shorter time than fixed by
law"
The census of city and county en-
ployes shows that of the total of 58.l4S
there are 50,403 men and 7,745 women.
These figures are exclusive of the
2S. sos employees in the Department Of
Education, of whom 5,681 are men and
22,925 are women. Sixteen per cent Of
the men said they had had military ex-
perience and "a per cent have depend
ents. OF the 9,733 male employees be-
tween twenty-one and thirty-one years
old 7,4sS said they had dependents.
More than 5000 women employees are

here in two days time Chief Nichols
instructed Sergeant Brandon in the fu
ture TO make reports to him Of reported
burglaric, and not to include them on

glaries were on the report Of the shift
which went on duty at 10 40 O'Clock las,

that Chief Nichols had decided In TN

contention on the fact that II person

COURT REMANDS
TELEPHONE CASE
TO COMMISSION
Supreme Judges Outline New
Way Of Figuring Valuation,

The supreme court today remanded
to the state corporation commission the
case in which telephone rates were low
cred at Ada, after the Pioneer Tele-
phone and Telegraph company had
asked for an increase in rates.
Rates May Hold.
In rcmanding the case the court did
not say the schedule Of rates fixed by
the commission was not equitable and
asserted that after further review OF the
case it might be found that the rates
were just, bu, held that false basis OF
obtaining the valuation Of the com
pany's property had been used by the
commission.
II was held by the court that the
value upon which the return OF the con,
pany i, to be ba,ed should not be oh
tanned by addins'a number OF separate
items, but by taking comprehensive
view of each OF the elements Of th'
property. and considering them all moi
as separate things, hut as in,eparable
parts OF one harmonious entity ana eS-
ercising Judgment as TO the value o'
that entity. The commission was given
sixty days to figure the value OF tho
property on the new basis and to con
slider new testimony which the Pioneer
company desires TO submit.
