One thousand, nine hundred and

cent of New York City's draft quota

to this effect was received yesterday by
Deputy Attorney General Roscoe S.
Conkling.
Decision to send all OF the first 8 per
cent on one day, instead Of calling
them out / per cent at time for five
consecutive days, was reached after a
scheme was worked out by the Long
Island Railroad officials and Colonel
+. +. Booth, Major General Bells chief
of staff at Yaphank, whereby approx
mately 1000 men may be moved to the
camp without seriously interfering
with normal traffic conditions.

Uniforms To Be Ready
For Draft Armies
Cantonments and Rifles Also
Will Be Completed When
Needed

WASHINGTON, Avg. 27.-No serious
shortage in clothing or equipment is
expected when the National Army is
modified next month. Secretary Baker
said to-day that arrangements for the
enormous supplies necessary for the
new force are so well advanced that
whatever shortage is found will be
overcome quickly.
The same situation prevails as TO
environments. Most of the divisional
training establishments are nearing
completion, and all will be ready for
the men as rapidly as the levies arrive
under present plans. Mr.. Baker visited
Yesterday the cantonment site at
Annapolis Junction, Nd, and was
greatly impressed by the amount Of
work that has been done there in r
short time.
The first British Enfield rife cham
bered for American ammunition, the
standardized product of three Ameri-
can factories turning out these guns
to supplement the Springfield rife out
put Of government arsenals, was pre-
scented to the Secretary Saturday, and
was in turn presented by him TO Chair
man Scott of the General Munitions
Board of the Defence Council. Enough
Enfields to supply the National Army
are expected to be ready by the time
the draft forces are ready for them.

Men Picked to Get Cards

The men selected will be duly mott.
fed, first by the green cards and Their
by the red cards designating the time
of entertainment.
They will then report TO their re-
spective exemption boards and will
proceed to one of the two departure
points selected. These are the Long
Island Railroad terminal, in East
Thirty-fourth Street, and the Atlantic
Avenue terminal, in Brooklyn.
Those from Manhattan and The
Bronx will entrain at Thirty-fourth
Street, and those from Queens, Brook
Ign and probably Staten Island from
the Flatbush Avenue station.
Send-OG TO New Army
All arrangements have been com
pleted by the Mayors committee for
extending a hearty godspeed to the
men selected for the new National
Army. Beginning on Saturday, re-
ligious services will be held in the
svnagogues, and on Sunday all the
churches will take notice OF the de
rarture Of the men in the various com
rnunities in one way or another.
Tuesday, September 4, will be the
general "send-off" day, on which every
recruit will wear badge. There will
be parades in the different boroughs
ard flags will be flown throughout the
city in honor OF the occasion. The ball
game at the Polo Grounds will be
free TO the drafted men, and there will
be community singing. Dinners will be
given the men in the evening by civic
and neighborhood organizations, and
every effort will be put forth to make
the embryo soldiers feel that the city
is behind them when they start out on
the trail that leads to the Hun.

Midvale Official Needs Work
ers to Supply Hundreds of
Guns for Destroyers

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Harry D..
Booth, general superintendent of the
Midvale Steel Company, appeared be-
fore District Appeal Board No. 2 to-
day and asked exemption of $500 of
the company's men from the National
Army.
To impress the board with the COM
pany's need of its present working
force of 1000, Mr.. Booth outlined part
of the governments programme for get
ting rid of the U-boats.
According to Mr.. Booth. the United
States is going TO build $50 destroyers
in addition to those already under
contract. The Midvale Company will
make hundreds of three, four and FIVE
inch guns for the destroyers and for
supply ships and transports now under
construction.
The government, said Mr. Booth, has
selected the Midvale Company as a
base for the manufacture of such guns.
1--WE are making armor plate, naval
guns, gun forgings, artillery weapons,
shells and gun TOOLS" said Mr. Booth.
While our normal war working force
is H., 900. we must keep 10000 on the
payroll to fill all vacancies at a mo-
ment's notice.
"Thirty-three and one-third per cent
OF our force, about $500 men, are Of
army age. They form the nucleus Of
our force"

200 Porto Ricans for
Army Officers Chosen
Correspondence Of The Associated PrsssI


SAN JUAN, P. R., Aug. 2o.-The
training camp Of the Officers Reserve
Corps, to supply officers for Porto
Rieo's brigade of 1000 men, to be draft
ed soon. will be held in Cayey. small
town up on the mountains. fifty miles
from San Juan. and will begin Au-
gust 81.
The quota Of PAS men, including IS
on-commissioned officers from the
Porto Rico regiment, now in Panama,
has been selected from the 1900 ap-
plicants for entrance to the camp.
These student officers. in addition to
having to measure up to the same re-
quirements exacted Of candidates for
commissions in the United States. are
also required to have proficient
knowledge of both Spanish and English,
for while they will receive all their
instruction and orders in English, they
will command men who for the most
part have little or no knowledge of
that language.
The vast majority OF the men accept
ed for the camp have attended Ameri-
can colleges. and consequently have not
only q strong academic preparation but
also have q thorough knowledge of both
Spanish and English.
officers are coming from the United
States to instruct the student officers
and two lieutenants are coming from
the Porto Rico regiment for the same
purpose.
Cayey was designated for the camp
by Colonel Orval P. Townshend. COM
mander of the military district of Porto
Rico. It's altitude insures comfort dur
ing the hottest days OF summer.
The contingent will be divided into
two companies. one of which will live
in barracks and the other in tents.
