FIRST DRAFT SEPT. s
GOVERNMENT BUSY PREPARING
SUPPLIES FOR 100000 MEN.
American Ingenuity Enabled Govern
ment to Be Ready for Big
Army So Soon.

Washington, June 4.-The first ac-
tual draft of Americas citizen soldiery
probably will be September 5.
According to presnt indications it
will take that long to prepare supplies,
proper housing and other equipment
for the first 100000 men between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty-one
years who will be selected to serve
their country.
There has been much complaint over
so-called delay" by the government in
getting under Roadway in pressing it's
official declared, it is only American
ingenuity that enabled us to be ready
by September 5.
Every step is being taken with DELHI
GRAFTON and care in order to reduce to
the minimum the possibility of mis-
takes. 1t is not the governments ppr-
pose to get thousands of young men
into camp without every means at
hand properly to care for them, equip
them and prepare them for service.
BY the very nature of the world sit
uatiOn there is bound to be irritation
at what appears at first to be clumsy
and unwieldy handling of America s
part in the great war, officials explain,
but it is confidently stated that as
soon as the ground work of the struc-
ture is laid American speed and thor
oughness will begin to show them
selves in the rapid consummation of
the work it faces.
Meantime it is claimed that a ire
mendOus amount more than shows on
the surface now is being accomplished.

DRAFT LAW is UPHELD
JUDGE so DECIDES IN CIRCUIT
COURT AT KANSAS CITY.
Petitioners for Injunction Advised to
Go to The Nearest Place
of Registry.

Kansas City, Mo-, June Judge
Daniel Bird in the circuit court here
on Thursday denied an injunction to
prevent state officials from enforcing
the draft registration.
Judge Bird held that the draft law
was valid and that his court had no
jurisdiction to prevent its being car
ried out
From the bench he recommended
that Thomas Sullivan and Raymond L.
Moore, the petitioners, both of whom
are eligible for registration, seek out
the first enlistment place without at
tempting to evade the registration law.
J. D. Showalter, attorney for the Pc
titiOners, announced Immediately after
the decision was rendered that ne
would go to Jefferson City at once for
the double purpose Of endeavorlng to
obtain an appeal hearing before the
supreme court and of instituting man
damus proceedings against the govern
or and other state officials. These, he
hoped, if granted, would prevent the
enforcement of the registration law
throughout Missouri.
Judge Bird, in his decision, referred
to the selective draft army as the
"most equitable and efficient this
country has ever had.
He said he had studied all the sim
liar laws since the formation of the
republic and that none was compare
BILE to the new law. He also ruled that
in times of war state. county and city
officials could be used by congress TO
further any war measures.
The petition had sought to invoke
the thirteenth and fourteenth amend
ments of the federal Constitution and
also certain provisions of the Missouri
constitution. Judge Bird ruled against
all the points brought up.
