NEyADA'S QUOTA ON NEXT
DRAFT WILL BE SMALL

CARSON CITY. Dec. 14.-when the
next draft call v made Nevada will
get credit for all men who enlisted be-
tween June 80 and December Is. ac.
eording to information reaching Adjt..
zen. sullivan from the provost mar
shaFgenerai. This will result in the
number OF men to be furnished
through the draft being very small
and the acknowledgement says that
some counties may not be required TO
furnish any men at all by means OF
the draft.
When the first draft was ordered
the state received credit for all enlist.
ments from April to June 80.
The acknowledgement says. that
while nothing has been announced to
indicate how many will be asked for
in the next draft quota. he believes it
will be considerably smaller than the
first. The adjutant.general believes
that the next call will be made some
time in February.
Numerous changes have been made
in the draft regulations by the war de-
partment. The Acknowledgement has
received notification OF the changes
and Is notifying all local boards OF
such changes. The first questionaires
will be mailed out on December Is
and the orders provide that all shall
have sent on or before January 8.
Local boards are being instructed to
fill the first quota entirely from Glass
One where possible.
Instructions have been sent 10 all
legal advisory boards that 1t Is not a
part of their duty to interpret draft
regulations for the draft boards but
TO give advice on the questionaires to
