ONLY FIVE PER CENT
OF DRAF TED QUOTA TO
MOVE SEPTEMBER 5

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-At the d.
rect suggestion OF President Wilson.
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
telegraphed to all governors q supple
mental explanation Of regulations gov
crning the status Of married men under
the selective service law. No change In
regulations is made and the purpose
of the new statement Is to clear up
misunderstanding which have arisen
in what General Crowder describes as a
few instances"
In O letter to Secretary Baker, quoted
by General Crowdcr, President Wilson
states his opinion that the right Of d.
recting local board ito establish the
fact Of dependents in addition to the
fact of marriage ought TO be abro-
gated" This leaves the regulations as
they and the supplementary statement
Is designed to make tho application Of
tho rules uniform among all boards.
While tho statement regarding mar
ried men WIS in preparation. new Or
ders were issued changing entirely the
mobilization arrangement pre- V q u
made. Congestion Of rail traffic apd
tho necessity Of making hotter prorls-
ion for tho reception OF tho men at the
environments dictated tho changes.
Pive Per Cent Of Quota.
Under the new orders, i've per cent
Iof the white men. preferably those with
military experience. from each locnl area
will be started forward To tho camps
September s, instead Of 80 per cent.
They Will go In five daily dctachments
Of equal sic and form skeleton company

Icern into which tho remainder or the
total quota can be absorbed without
confusion as thoy reach tho environments.

dulcd to go: second 40 per cont Will

Sammy and His Game
Of Craps Capture the
Metropolis Of London

LONDON. Aug. 26.-London was
overrun to-day with American soldiers
and sailors. All the downtown streets
in the city. especially in the P1cca-
dilly district, were thronged with SOL
diers, some walking, some in ta1is.
EVERYWHERE the Americans fratern-
ICED with the Tommies. Australians,
Canadians, Scotchmen in kits, and all
visitors agreed that London Is fine and
Britain's soldiers are better.
In some places the Britons were mi
tiated into the game OF craps and,
as usual, the beginners won. The
game seems 10 have captivated Lon
don.
The Americans, who had not been
at libertT since their departure from
the United States. were lionized. At
some corners women were standing,
handing roses TO the soldiers, VINO
! pinned them on their hats.
Many took advantage Of the new
! eagle hut of the Y. NJ. c. A.. which
was thronged TO the doors. One thing
, that was noted was the especially
) warm personal welcome extended TO
the men. Furloughed Belg1ans,
Frenchmen or other soldiers OF the al
lies travel through the city in groups
by themselves. Every American
group. however. was piloted by ut
! least one, and sometimes by half
dozen E.itons. All the landmarks
were pointed out and in many In
stances mixed groups walked through
the streets with arms locked. The
American soldier Is a mystery TO the
Englishman. Those In London today
having just been paid had their peck
cts full of money, which they were
rrxious TO spend. They dlned at the
best hotels, some OF them occupying
! tables adjoining those at which Brit
ish officers were seated. The only
difficulty which they experienced with
English money had to do with the
value OF the coins. to which they are
as yet unaccustomed. They passed
over pound note In payment for
small purchases. and took back a
handful of change without counting It
