DANES RETICENT
CONCERNING U. S.
EMBARGO RULES

Copenhagen, oct 2j.-Danish officials
are reticent concerning the recent Am
eriCan statement in regard to embargo
policies. Responsible authorities de-
cline to discuss the subject while ne
gotiations in Washington are pending
but express the hope that the Danish
commercial delegates may succeed in
making some arrangements with the
United States.
The newspapers published the Am
erican statement more or less fully. but
have shown more or less restraint in
discussing the subject manifesting
their opinion for the most part only by
occasional headlines over WASHINGTON
dispatches. In the business world,
however. the opinion is expressed free
~ that Denmark must and will main
tain its export trade as long as pos
sibIe. The pressure OF the agrarian
classes to continue the export trade
of farm products of course is also
strong. The urban population, which
is beginning 70 feel the pinch in OBJ
tanning pork. butter and lard is stead
lily growing more insstent upon some
restrictions which will insure for them
an adequate supply of such food prod
ucts at prices within their reach.

virtually completed tonight at the Of
flee of the provost marshal general
President Wilson tomorrow for final
approval The President already has
approved the general plan. under
which all registered men not yet call
ed will be classified in five groups in
accordance with their availability for
military service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
tonight cleared up the question how
the draft numbers held by the nearly
nine million uncalled registrants will
be applied to the new classificatiOns.
In each local district the key made
up from the first draft numbers in the
orGer Of their drawing will be applied
to each class or group. In other words,
the men of class one, in which will be
placed those Of the least value at
home and with the slightest obligation

class is exhausted just as if all other
classes had been exempted. When
class one is exhausted the same pro-
cess will be applied to class two and
so on down to class five. if it ever
/ should become necessary to carry il
I that far.
Thus man whose serial number in
