HANDLING Of DRAFT
MEN IS COMMENDED

While army officers al Camp Lee
apparently criticised the manner in
which certain local exem ption boards
In virginia sent their men to Peters
burg last week. Provost Marshal-Gen-
eral Crowder has pronounced the in
struct!ons sent out by Adtutant- Cen
eral w. w. Sale as an efficient bit OF
administration. and expressed his dis
appointment that he could not have
ctrcularfzed the instructions and sent
them to every state in the country
The following letter was received here
yesterday from Lieutenant Colonel
Hugh s. Johnson on behalf of General
Crowder:
Your very interesting enclosure in
your letter OF September g. has been
received. II | had obtained these in
structions a little sooner, would
have circularized them to every state
in the Union. They are very clear.
comprehensive and useful take
this opportunity to express my thanks
and appreciation for this clear cut
and efficient hit of administration. 80
Seven of the 1t3 local boards in
Virginia brought down some adverse
criticism because they had not obey
ed the instructions OF the adjutant-
general, The army officials have
learned, however, that Virginia caus,
ed them less trouble than any other
state Railroad officials have already
notified John 3. Mordecai. in charge
Of the routing OF the drafted men. that
the Firginians were handled the most
efficiently OF any they had heard from
This is shown by the fact that Camp
Lee is still receiving scattering dele
cations from West Virginia and Penn
sylVania whereas every Virginia man
arrived on schedule time.
