CALL MORE MEN TO

Apprehension on the part Of the Dis
trict (statel Exemption Board and the
four local exemption boards that their
work would be completed and that the
organ zation they have built up would
havI to be disbanded as soon as this
city and State had supplied It's quota
OF men required on the first call for
the new National Army. have been dis
PEELED and instead the boards are con-
fronted with the possibility Of some
strenuous work for many months tc
come.
While no official Instructions have
been received relative to the matter
the boards now know that the War
Department in Washington Is doing
everything TO expedite the call for the
second increment Of the draft army
and It appears likely that the date may
be flxed for some time in December OF
early In January. Mobilization Of the
first Increment is now far enough ad-
vanced to show clearly that there will
be a big deficiency for the seventeen
National Army divisions.
Several thousand Of the first incre-
ment are still to be assembled. In
this city alone there are many men

call There is already a big shortage
in the training cantonments but this
is due largely to the fact that SO many
Of the drafted men have been taken
or will be in a short time, from these
camps and sent TO other camps to fll
I'D the ranks of the National Guard
divisions.
Fixing the date for this second call
hinges also upon a study being made
OF the results of the plan followed In
assembling the men called first. The
district board and the local boards are
ready for the second call whenever Il
comes. Their system Is in smooth
working and they believe they Will be
