Washington, July 30.--The gravity

Saturday night by Provost Marshal
General Crowder.

declaration that the nation needs

40 DRAFT LISTS
CONE TO DAKOTA
FOR BOARD WORK
Adjutant General Prepares
For Final Step-Credits
Are Being Listed

One hundred and twenty copies OF
the master list of draft numbers
have been dispatched by the war de-
partment In Washington to the
adjutant general of North Dakota,
to be in turn distributed from that
office, in Bismarck, to the county
selection boards OF the state,
Each OF the IS selection boards in
North Dakota will be provided with
two cop les of the list and as
measure of insuring speedy delivery,
the adjutant general has been in
structed to mail two copies to each
board, mailing them separately, on
two consecutive days.
With the arrival of the draft lists
in Bismarck probably today, they
would be received by the cass coun-
ty board Tuesday. 1t will require
three or four days TOR the board to
cheek UP the lists and prepare

CREDIT LIST PROGRESS
REPORTED RY LEIssMAN.
Rapid progress in allowing credits
to counties for enlistment 10 being
made by Charles Leissman, in charge
OI LIldL Work III the dQJuIdHL SSAcEr
ais office at Bismarck,
Under the present compilation,
with additional credits still to be
made, Cass county would furnish
only 403 men, thus necessitating
call upon only 500 men under the
draft, instead of S44, as indicated by
the first draft statement issued from
the adjutant generals ONCE.
All told, North Dakota gets credit
for 2,452 enlistments, while in the
following statement, credit has been
allowed to the various counties for
1929. The additional credits will be
allowed the counties as soon as the
men are properly apportioned.
Enlistments since June 80 will not
be credited In the first daft, SO there
is a possibility that the present Gre
dit of 2,462 will be reduced, 1t being
understood that il includes q number
of men who enlisted after that date,
June 80, as the Anal date for allow
ing credits. was given to the adult
ant generals ONCE Saturday night.
AS credits now stand, the state
would furnish 5.272 men under the
draft. BY counties, the gross quota,

MAY REQUIRE NEW
DRAFT LEGI9LATION.

Washington advices quoted Sec
rotary of War Newton p. Baker as
saying that additional = legislation
may be necessary to govern future
calls for the draft. Many men on
the present list will have passed
their S1st birthday by next summer,
and there viii be an equal number
of young men reaching the age of
n. A new registration and new
drawing to determine the liability to
service of men of military age may
for this reason be needed every year.
Where the heavy demand will be
made on the list Of drafted men re,
naming after the first 100000 and
those remaining after the second
100000 are drafted, comes from the
decision to continue to utilize the
draft list to maintain the armies at
war strength.
Assuming that one-third is the
wastage 10 be cared for, this would
necessitate drafting more than $780,
900 men a year TO maintain the
armies. Best estimates of the war
department. officials are 1t will be
necessary to call from i,ba0,000 to L.
100000 men to provide the 6s7, 900
for the first draft and the 100000 to
be drafted later,
WOULD HIT ALIEN

The Chamberlain resolution
authorizing the draft Of approx

The resolution was amended to
