TwENrY-oNE STATES REPORT.
SO far only twenty-one states have re-
ported to the provost marshal-generaI's
office the completion of their organiza-
ton. in some of them the names ana
serial numbers of the men liable to
draft already have been posted The
first city TO report the completion of
that part of her work was Kansas City
Some fear was felt at the war de-
partment today that the delays in or
ganization might cause further post
ponement of the draft. 1t had been be-
lieved that the drawing might take
place Saturday of this week It then
became evident that it could not be held
before next week and indications today
were that it might be the latter part of
next week before everything was ready
One of the states where there has been
the most confusion in organization is
New York.
The new estimate of population made
by the census bureau as a basis for the
draft, it is explained. is not to be taken
as genuine indication of the actual
population of cities and communities
In some communities industrial condi-
tons have given a city a population
much greater than II normally has and
in other cities where industrial actiyi-
ties are at low ebb the registration
failed to show actually present the num-
ber which the census bureau had given
Moreover, as the object of the estimates
is to fix a fair basis for establishing
local quotas, Industrial centers with dis
proportionately large numbers of young
men subject to draft have figures prob
ably considerably in excess of the num-
Der of people actually within their
borders.

FIGHTING SPIRIT
IS AGAIN SPURR|NG
RUSSIAN TROOPS
Demonstration for Minister of
War as He Pleads for
Success of Revolution.

PETROGHAD, May Si.-Minister
Of War Kerensky is successfully ac-
complishing his task of squirting Rus
sia's soldiers to night. A new spirit
of determination was apparent to-
day in front dispatches from those
sections where he has made his whirl-
wind campaign.
One incident, on the southwest
front, reported is typical. There
Kerensky and Albert Thomas, Min
lister OF Munitions for France, ad-
dressed a conference OF officers and
soldiers. Kerensky concluded with
an impassioned plea that the fight
Ing men give their lives to Russia
SO that the fruits of the revolution
might be secured"
At this every man rose to his feet
shouting I'VE swear IT," A tumultu-
Gus demonstration followed. in which
Kerensky and Thomas were borne
from the meeting on the shoulders Of
soldiers.
This new sentiment Of patriotism
now being inculcated in the army by
Kerensky is reflected at home in
Russia, by a steady undercurrent Of
the spirit OF unity.
The Governments new anti-liduor
degrees were published to-day and
emphasize by their rigorousness the
alarm felt over increase in drunken
ness throughout the country. Under
the new regulations intoxlcation in
public is punishable with eighteen
months Imprisonment and commits
sion OF violence while drunk with
from six to eight years penal servi-
tude.
Tho Provisional Government. on
the proposal OF the Finnish Senate,
has proclaimed the complete or par
tiaf remission OF sentences pro-
nounced on all Finnish citizens for
crimes or offenses committed prior to
March 20, 1917.
The Government approved the pro-
posal of Temporary Finance Minister
Teretschenko to raise 1000, 900, 900

than England was ct first. Con-
tinuation OF suspected plotting and
propaganda, such as in this regis
tration business. is quito likely tq
arouse public opinion to demand
more stringent restrictions.
Statements regarding confusing
points in registration and draft have
been made by the Provost Marshal
General. One relates 10 question No.
II on the registration blank, which
reads; do you claim exemption from
draft Estate groundH)T
Many persons have objected 70 this
on the ground that II puts them In
the light Of attempting TO evade and
being slackers II they claim exemp-
ton.
On tho other hand they may be
Justly entitled to exemption. but fear
that II claim Ia not made At time OF
registration they will be in default
High oflcials Of the Government saw
that this point was well taken and
the question IL freely criticised az Inn
properly framed
The Provost Marshal General now
explains that answering question No.
IL does not commit a person one way
or the other. IL IL intended only to
supply statistical data on which esti-
mate may be made OF tho number OF
persons who will claim exemption.
The belated Official notice says;
tho answer OF yes 10 this dues-
ton does not exempt one from draft;
and the answer mo- is no bar TO max
ting n claim from exemption later.
"Ail who desire exemption may
claim II before the local exemption
board. Irrespective OF the answer
made by them TO question twelve"
Another confusing point relates 10
pleadings after registration. While
definite regulations have not been
promulgated. the Provost Marshal
General indicates that drafting will
come first and consideration OF ex-
emptions afterward, instead OF all
persons registered being examined
and woeded out before the drawing
by lot Cases will not be investigated
until individuals have been drawn for
service.
1t Is presumed. however, that GER
tain obvious exemptions will be made
In advance from the general lists OF
those persons reported by registrars
rs plainly incapacItated by physical
disability.
