NEW DRAFT WILL
MAKE AVAILABLE
100000 MEN FOR
NATION ARMY
General Crowder Estimates
Additions To Draft
On June 5
MILLION WILL
BE REGISTERED
Those Born Between June
5, 1896, and June 6, 1897,
Must Register
cRx Anroclased Pregs.l

Washington, May 21.-Egtimates
today by Major General Crowder
provost marshal general, indicate
that probably three quarters OF q
million men will be obtained for the
army by the registration OF June 8
Of all youths who have attained "a
years OF age since June 8. last.
Fully a million youths, according
to General Crowder's estimate. will
be registered. At least one fourth OF
them, he thinks, will be exempted on
various grounds.
A statement by SEQ. Baker giving
the estimate and outlining plans for
the draft, given out today, reads:
Probably three quarters OF a mil
lion men will be added to the Amer
lean army in the making, by the reg
istration, on June 8. next, of boys
who have reached the age OF ri since
June s, 1917, or who will be 81 on
or before June s, 1913. This esti-
mate was made today by Provost
Marshal General h H. Crowder, who
will direct tho registration.
General Crowder's estimate was
based on the fact that almost ten
million men registered last year. This
number included all between 81 and
81. Statisttos collected by General
Crowder's officers shows that O. little
more than ten per cent Of these men
were 81 years old. On that basis 1t
is estimated by draft officials work
ing under General Crowder that this
years registration will exceed 1,0o0.-
900.
"Of this number General Crowder
estimates three quarters, or about
100000 will be available for military
service. This makes proper allow
ances for physical defects, axemp-
tions because of dependents and
other bars to military service.
Under President Wilson's proc
ianat1on all male personHr citisens
or aliens, must register. Tho only
persons excepted are officers and en-
listed men Of the regular army. navy
and marine corps and the national
guard and naval militia while in fed
eral service, and officers OF the on
GERS reserve corps and enlisted men
in the enlisted reserve corps, while
in active service.
General Crowder plans to have the
local boards keep their offices open
for registration purposes between Z
q. m. and 8 p. m. on June s. Be
tween those hours all young men
who were born between June g., 1896,
and June 6, 1897, must register. These
men are subject to the provisions of
the selecttve service act under which
the first registration was held"

staggered by the suddeuness of the

On the other hand some CORES

Meanwhile, everyone is awaiting
production of the proof OF a German
plot and in many quarters it is be-
Heved there ought not to be any de-

ported from several sources, how
ever, that the government has no
present intention OF publicly ar
raigning those under arrest who Will

The question OF Irish conscription
continues to hold attention. It is as

Rye Flour off
Supply Is Short

In response to inquiries as to why
rye -four was taken from the wheat
flour substitute list, it was explained
by the federal food administration to-
day that on May 1, it was estimated
that there remained but 100000
bushels Of rye in the United States
Against this, amount the normal con-
sumption of rye -four from May to
August l, is 100000 bushels.
If rye -four had been continued on
the substitute list the available sup
ply would not have lasted one month
In order that even a limited supply
might be available for normal use
this cereal was taken off the sub
stitute list.
