Washington.-At the direct sugges-
ton of President Wilson Provost Mar
shall General Crowder has telegraphed
to all governors a supplemental ex-
PLANTATION of regulations governing the

regulations as they are and the sup

uniform among all boards.

ried men was in preparation new or
ders we're issued, changing entirely
the mobilization arrangements pre-
viously made. Congestion of rail traf-
fic and the necessity of making better
provision for the reception of the men
at the environments dictated the
changes.
