ment until next week Of the drawing
OF numbers of men who will be called
for examination for the national army
seemed probable to-day, when It bes
came evident that States are not com.
pleting organizations Of their district
exemption boards as rapidly as War
Department officials had hoped. Only
twenty-one States have reported their
organization complete, although In most
others only few districts are missing.
The drawing will not be made until
the lists for the country are compieto.
a so-called census estimate for tho
entire country, compiled on the basis
Of the registration. will be used for
determining apportionments. Each 4
city. county or State must furnish two.
thirds of 1 per cent Of It's paper popi-
lation. according to the new estimatea
which were made for the purpose, OF 3
equalinE the draft, rather than to rAr,.4
resent accurate espopulatlons to lis. ~
Thus Ne*EYork1C 1City:T~wfth turr -estf.-
mated population OF S.5o4.ts5, must
give 43,3S2 OF the s87. 200 young mon
to he called on the first draft. A city
with $4,000 population would be re-
CURED to give 166 men. These appor.
tionments would be subject to slight
allowances for alien enemies. for men
who have volunteered and for other
causes.
POPULATION ESTIMATES S3
IMPROyISED FIGURES
The population estimates. far from
attempting to show actual populations
simply are improvised figures reached
hv Cnpgidertne ho of
trants in each subdivision as s.32 per
cent Of the population, since the total
number registered. s.65s.3s2. was s.33
per cent OF the total estimated popu-
lation. 103.635.S00. The process re-.
suited In large dummy population
showings for cities with war indus-
tries where there has been a recent
Inflow OF workmen without their faml-
lies. Since the figures are based ON
the number Of men available for mili-
tary service. however. officials consider
the estimates fair as bases for appor.
tionment. ,g
Pleas for exemption of any man need
not be made by him, but may be en-
tered by wife. other dependent. em-
ployer or any other third person. the
Observation-Disclosures Office ex-
planned In a statement. It also was
explained that any registered man alb
sent from his homo district need NOT
return for physical examination. but
may be ordered by his home board to
be examined elsewhere.
