sECoSD CALL IN DECEMBER?
War Department Discussing Advisa-
bility OF Ordering 2nd Increment.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Discussion
of the advisability of eNpediting the
call for the second increment Of the
draft army is now III 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 6S7, 900 men is nov far enough ad-
vanced to show clearly that there
will be a big deficiency for the Sew
enteenth national army division.
More than 100000 of the first mere
ment are still to be assembled, but
it already is evident that there Will
be available at the sixteen canton
ments quarters for an additional
regiment at each post and at some
for full brigade of two regiments,
Big Shortage Certain.
The strength of the new regimental
organization is $500 men. With
regiment lacking at each canton
ment this alone would mean short
age of nearly $4,000 men. In addi-
tion there has been authorized a sep
arate division of negro troops, which,
means nearly 10000 men Withdrawn
from the original number assigned
to the sixteen cantonments.
The shortage is due partially r0
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 remnants
of three other Southern national
army divisions will be consolidated to
form a single division unit and the
surplus men from other camps will
be sent South to make up the miss
ing divisions
To Fill Up Gaps.
Drafts on the national army forces
also must be made to fill up the en-
listed personnel of the aviation SER
vice, the medical corps and the SER
vice battallions needed behind the
fighting lines abroad. Eventually
there will be 250,000 men in 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 fac
tors. 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 over burdened
with the job of moving the army
without hindering freight shipments
vital to the Allies.
Rests With Crowder.
Fixing the date of the call for the
second increment probably hinges
also upon the careful study being
made by Provost Marshal Gen.
@rowder and his assistants Of the re-
suits of the plan followed in assem-
bling the men called first.
