Washington, Oct. 15.-The tardi-

the second liberty loan is causing
deep concern to officials here. Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet are
watching the campaign with great
interest
With half of the campaign gone.
treasury officials estimated that not
more than $6OO,OOO,OOO had been
subscribed, and they considered this
estimat liberal. 1t has become an
parent to officials that a new and tre-
mendous impetus must be given to
the campaign if the subscription ia

hoped for.
The whole weight of the admins
tration is to be thrown into the bal

preached heretofore is to be made

workers and the most highly organ

SECOND DRAFT CALL
TO COME IN DECEMBER
DATE is NOT YET DEFI-
NITELY SETTLED.
War Department Now Discuss
ing Deficiency in Seven
teenth Army Division.

Washing ton, Oct. 15.-Dscussion
Of the advisability Of expediting the
call for the second increment of the
draft army now is in progress at the
war department and it appears like
ly that the date may be fixed for
some time in December or January.
Mobilization of the first increment
of $4,000 men is now far enough
advanced to show clearly that there
will be big deficiency for the Sew
enteenth national army division.
More than 25O,00O of the first in
crement are still to be assembled,
but 1t already is evident that there
will be available at the sixteen can
tonments quarters for an additional
regiment at each post and at some
of a full brigade of two regiments.
The strength of the new regi-
mental organization is $500 men.
cantonment this alone would mean
a shortage of nearly $4,000 men. In
addition there has been authorized
a separate division of negro troops,
which means nearly 10000 men
withdrawn from the original mum.
Der assigned to the sixteen canton
ments.
The shortage is due partially to
the necessity Of taking out of ma
tional army men to fill up National
Guard divisions.
Two complete national army divi-
sions OF Southern troops have been
absorbed in this way. The rem
nants of three other Southern ma
tional army divisions will be con-
solidated to form a single division
unit and the surplus men from other
camps will be sent South to make up
the missing divisions.
Drafts on the national army
forces also must be made to fill up
the enlisted personnel OF the avia-
tion service, the medical corps and
the service battalions needed behind
the fighting lines abroad. Eevent-
uuhS Ii'l' VIII Dt NoU,uVv utH III
the last named service alone and
aviation and the medical service
will take nearly as many more.
though not all OF them will be taken
from the national army.
Operating to delay the calling
out OF the second increment to make
good these shortages are several
factors. Clothing and equipment is
coming forward only at rate that
can meet the demands OF the forces
already called and the railways Of
the country have been overburdened
with the job of moving the army
without hindering freight ship
ments vital to the allies.
Fixing the date OF the call for the
second increment probably hinges
also upon the careful study being
made by Provost Marshal Gen.
Crowder and his assistants of the
results OF the plan followed in as
sembling the men called first.

1t was brought out at the session
