So Far Only Fl States Have

Paper Population Figured for the
Purpose of Equahzing the Draft Rath-
er Than to Represent Accurate Popu-
lation Totals.

WASHINGTON, July y. - Postpone
ment until next week of the drawing of
numbers Of men who will be called for
examination for the national army seemed
probable at the war department yester
day, when it became evident that states
are not completing organization of their
district exemption boards as rapidly as
war department officials had hoped. Only
q states have reported their organiza
tion complete, although in most others
only a few districts are missing. The
drawing Will not be made until the lists
for the country are complete
A so-called revised census estimate for
the entire country, compiled on the basis
OF the draft registration, will be for de-
termlnlng appointments Each city,
tcounty or state must furnish two-thirds
OF ! per cent OF its paper population, ac-
| cording to the new estimates, which were
made Tor the purpose of equallzing the
draft rather than to represent accurate
population totals
Thus New York city with an estimated
population of 6,504, lsJ must give 43. 1872
of 687, 900 young men to be called on the
first draft. A city with $4,000 population
would be required to give l6G men These
appointments would be subject to slight
allowances for alien enemies. for men
who have volunteered and for other
causes
The population estimates. far from at
ON r4fl Oh Lit.
simply are improvised figures reached by
considering the number of registrants in
each subdivision at 933 per cent of the
population since the total number regis
tered 9,659,382 was 932 per cent of the
total estimate population, l03, $50 300 The
process resulted in large dummy popula
ton showings for cities with war indus
tries where there has been a recent in
flow OF workmen without their families
Since the fgnres are hased on the number
OF men available for military service, how
ever, officials consider the estimate fan
as basis Tor apportIonment.
Pleas for exemption of any man neec
not be made by him, but may be entered
by a wife, other dependents, employer OF
any other third person, the provost mar
shalgenerals office explained in a state
ment. 1t is also explained that any regis
tered man absent from his home district
need not return for physical examination
but may be ordered by his home boarC

Napoleon Lajoie, grand old man OF
the second sackers, is not major
Lacquer this year. He is managing a
club in the International league-out
of the fight in the big circuits for the
first time in more years than many
baseball players have lived.
John Evers is of the same general
usefulness, and probably has another
year of baseball left. He never was as
good as Lajoie as batsman, however,
but his nimble brain and energy car
ried him to inspired heights not at
