D.G. DRAFT CALLS
NOT TO Be HALTED
Even Signing of Armistice
Held as insufficient Reason
=. for Suspension.

Only orders from the general staff
of the Army can suspend November
draft calls made upon more than $780,
ooo men throughout the nation. nearly
1000 Of whom will be entrained from
the District Of Columbia, beginning
Sunday.
High ofncials of the provost mar
shall generals ONCE today declared
that. as far as that ONCE is concerned.
no stoppage Of November calls is con-
templated. and 1t can result only from
a direct order Of suspension from tho
general staff.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
yesterday afternoon called a confer
ence of his stan to consider what
methods his Office should adopt in
case the suspension order should be
mated that tho signing of an armis-
ttce would not necessarily mean an
order of suspension from the high
Army command
, Reasons for Going Ahead.
There are perfectly good reasons why
the men called for November should go
10 camp. ono official Of Gen. Crowder's
star said today. Even the signing of
the a-mistice would not be cause for
suspension Of calls. in this officers
opinion.
Tho signing Of the terms will not
make all things "fair and lovely" by
any means. he pointed out. and many
soldiers will be needed to cope with the
enforcement of the armistice. There Is
no telling, 1t Is held here, what diff
fculties the allies may encounter in
various parts Of Germany. granted that
the representatives of that country do
sign the armistice-

sioner Brownlow said this morning that
there was absolutely no idea on the
part Of the local draft authorities to 'let
down." and that the wo-'- will proceed.
