TO EXAMINE ALL
ON DRAFT roll
War Department Finds Most Govern
/. ors Favor Plan TO Test 100000
At One Time.

Washington. Sept. 20 Thirty
eight out of forty Governors have ap-
proved the suggestion of Provost
Marshal General Crowder that the
r 900 registered men not called
in the first draft be examined imme-
diately for military service.
In view of the practically unani-
nous desire that such action be ia
ken, it was stated at the War Depart
ment today that the examination
would be ordered as soon as Con-
gress appropriated the necessary
funds, provision for which are con-
tanned in the urgent deficiency bill.
The department believes that its le-
gal authority is ample under the
terms of the original draft bill. This
provided for the drafting of
only 100000 men, but there is no
provision against the examination OF
a number more than sufficient to Sc
cure the 100000.
