FIRST 100000 MEN NOT TO BE
CALLED UNTIL SEPTEMBER

Washington, May lin response
to a suggestion by Senator Jones Of
Washington that the new selective
draft army help harvest crops, Secre-
tary Baker disclosed that it is not ex-
pected to call out the first 100000
men before September l, because of
''the depleted state of our supplies,
and that there will, therefore, be no
"appreciable interference with the la
Dor supply Of the country until that
date.
After stating that the labor ques-
ton was receiving serious attention
from all departments, Secretary Baker
wrote to Senator Jones:
lowing to the depleted state of our
supplies, it will not be practicable to
call out the first 100000 men to be
raised under the provisions of the bill
now pending before congress until
about September, so there will be no
appreciate interference with the la
Dor supply of the country until that
date.
when these men are called they
will have to be continuously trained
with the colors until they are sent
abroad. As the period of training be-
fore they are sent abroad will be at
the best all too short, in justice to
the men it must be intensive and con-
tinuous."
