Red6eld Explains
Why Draft Quotas
Showed Variance
Concentration of Munitions
Workers in Certain Sec
tions One Cause

Washington. July I9.-In response TO
Senator Brandegee's resolution calling
for an explanation Of the Census Bu-
reau's population estimates to establish
quotas for the forthcoming army draft,
Secretary Redfeld to-day submitted
report to the Senate showing that the
estimates were based upon actual reg
istration figures in each state and sub
division.
He pointed out that the large esti-
mates for certain localities, particularly
industrial centres, were accounted for
by the abnormal gathering of men Of
draft age at those places TO work in
munitions plants.
The resolution was introduced after
several Senators had charged that the
population of Northern cities had been
padded" and the Southern estimates
correspondingly reduced.
Percentage of Units Computed
In computing the population the Sec
retary explained that the total regis
tration, as shown by the preliminary
telegraphic returns, 9,659,3s2, was d.
vided by the total population Of the
United States, exclusive of Alaska, as
estimated by the Census Bureau, 1o3,-
635,300. in order to obtain the proper
tion which the registrants represented
of the total population.
"The resulting figure, 932 per cent"
said the report, "wss assumed TO rep
resent the proportion which the regis
trants in each geographical unit rep
resented of the total population. In
other words. the number Of registrants
reported for each subdivision that is,
each city of 10000 inhabitants or more
in 1917. according 70 the official esti-
mated population made by the Bureau
of Census prior TO the registration of
June B, 1917; each county, or, in the
case of Connecticut, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, each division consisting
Of a number of towns. and each por-
tion of a county outside of such city
OF CllltS was ulNlutu ny 'sOs per cent
in order 10 secure an estimated popula-
tion as a basis for determining the
quotas for the several states, terri
tories and the District of Columbia, or
subdivisions thereof.
"Since the totals, as shown by the
corrected returns received by mail,
varied more or less from those given
in the preliminary telegrsphic returns,
both the total registration for the
United States (s,67s,795) and the total
population estimated herein (l03,s49,-
6s4), differ slightly from the figures
above given.
Proportion Varied Naturally
"The proportion in 1910 varied con-
siderably in different parts OF the coun-
try, being greater as a rule in the
newer than in the older sections and
greater in cities than in rural localities
Since IL was impossible in any even,

About Exemption Boards

Patrolmen going on post at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon were informed of
the location of the exemption boards
TO which residents on their posts
should apply. 1t was the last detail
of the plan TO make the entire Police
Department a bureau of information
and publicity concerning the draft.
On Wednesday night the names and
Offices of all exemption officials were
sent to Headquarters. and yesterday
Chief Inspector Schmittberger sent
copies TO ali inspectors and captains.
1t was the duty of each captain 10 see
that his patrolmen went out fully

Berlin, July 19.-The custom among
hotel guests of depositing ones foot
wear in the corridor outside the door
to have it polished is likely to come
into disuse for the time being The
growing demand for shoes, even cast
offs, has encouraged thefts of footwear

In order to rescue hotel guests from

Chicagoans Against
Friday as Draft Day
Bishop FalIows and Union
League Members File Objections

Chicago, July 19.-Telegrams Of pro-
test against holding the military draft
on Friday were sent to the Secretary
of War to-day by Bishop Fallows and
w. H. Gray, of the Union League Club.
The senders are not opposed to the
draft. they say, only they feel that be-
cause of superstition about Friday 1t
would be better to have the drawing
some other day.
The messages were;
almost universal opinion against
draft on Friday. Change date.

assumption that the proportion which
the rcgistrants represent Of the total
population is the same throughout the
country-was adopted. In this manner
there was obtained the fairest possible
basis for the apportionment of the
draft. since the localities whose popula-
ton estimates may be exaggerated are
those in which there is an excess of
men twenty-one to thirty years Of age,
inclusive, while the ones whose popula-
ton is underrated are those in which
the proportion of men Of these ages is
smaller than the average"

thousand cards and was numbered
from to 1000. Then, if the one thou
sand group happened 10 be the hrst
drawn in the little lottery every reg
istered man in this specimen reglstra-
tion district must have been called
for service before his neighbors,. Just
across the street, but in an adjoining
precinct, were summoned.
How l0,500 Was Decided On.
Tho drawing tomorrow was fixed at
10 500 numbers because an exemption
district in Lansing, Mich, has 1928
registered men. Seven states have
failed thus far to report their maxi
mum districts, however, and 10000
numbers will be drawn to take care OF
the improbable possibility that larger
district will show up later.
The change in plan throws an enor-
nous burden Of work on General Crow
der's office, which had to be completed
tonight. In one room score of clerks
nonnded away with numbering ma
cbines through the night, making up
the $500 additional key numbers nee
cssary. In another room fifty men,
girls and boys toiled over bowls of
black capsules, rolling up the num-
bered slips as they were received and
slipping them into the concealing gela-
tine covering, from which they will be
taken by the announcers tomorrow.
Alabama, first state of the roster of
the Union, reports its largest exemp-
tion district as containing 6,925 regis
trants. Then in the drawing to-mor-
row the numbers from 6,926 TO 10,5oO,
inclusive, can be disregarded entirely
so far as Alabama is concerned.

interest in numbers above GIL; Ar
