completed within a year. Delivery
of the cantonment material will

powers will be placed almost en-
tirely In the hands of local
boards.
Only general outlines for guild
ance will be imposed on these
boards. President Wilson is to-
day preparing a proclamation en-
bodying these outlined and the
means to be used to select the

will be made up only of men of
