FRAUD IN MISSOURI draft
Wholesale Exemptions Have Been
Granted in Western Counties.

st. Louis, Sept. 3.-Evidcrice OF
wholesale exemptions granted
through alleged fraud in half doz-
en- counties in the second division OF
the western district of Missouri has
been reported to the adjutant general
and the provost marshal general, ac-
cording to NJ. J. Murphy, member
Of the district board, and strict in
vestigation will follow Immediately.
From the reports it would appear
that the men registered in whole
clans and were exempted in clans,
Murphy declared in discussing the
matter. "In some OF the counties as
many as forty or fifty men have been
discharged before single man was
drafted. From this it would appear
to me that favoritism in its worst
form is being shown
With many counties in the district
of Springfield, Mo-, unable to give
one man to the quota before Septem-
Der S, it appears that Springfield will
be called upon to give her entire
quota of I67 to make up the det'-
ciencies of the other counties.

first element OF the plan. President
Wilson has already disclosed. II Is
the assembling Of seo.ooe men under a
universal service system ms an addi-
tion to the regular army and national
guard which would provide a total war
strength force OF 100000. II is as
sumad that coincident with the call
Ing out OF the new army, orders to
recruit the regulars and guards1nen to
full strength viii go out.
Army officers believe 100000 is the
maximum number they can undertake
10 train at onse. When the work has
proceeded for a few months, however.
an additional 500.O00 could be called
out. to be followed at Intervals OF
few months by other similar incre-
ments until a total army OF the desired
size has been mustered.
The training OF the first half nil
lion will tax the personnel and r.a-
chinery Of the regular army 10 the
limits. Even with provisional lists
OF officers and the officers reserve
corps TO call upon. there will be n
shortage OF training personnel. The
units of the regular army, II Is said,
viii be vitality necessary TO carry the
work forward Fos that reason the
suggestion that an expeditionary force

was definitely and finally aligned
against Germany in the world war met
with n cold reception today among
officers Of the general staff.
There is much uncertainty as TO tho
lu-N TO which the national guard Is to
be pat under the new plan. The
guard forms the great reserve from
which officers for the new federal
force could be drawn. For more thar

however. and the number assigned %
this work under federal direction be-
ing increa1ed every day. IL was sng-
geaed that the full strength of ti'5
