ANOTHER DRAFT CALL
Forty-1ive Additional Men Will Be
Sent Out of New Britain on May
1. Draft Boards Learn Today.

Members of the first and second
exemption boards today received an
other official call from the war de-
partment, ordering them to select
and send another increment of reg
istrants for army service on May /.
These men will go directly to Fort
Slocum and the first district must
send rs. while the second district will
send 20.
This increment is in addition to the
95 men from both districts who will
leave for Camp Upton between April
26 and May /. This makes 140 men
that will be sent out from this city
within a few days.
At the second exemption board 1t
was explained that there are still
large number of men available for
service in Glass IA and even after the
20 men have gone on May l there
will be about 800 left for future calls.
AS soon as the quota In class Ia is
exhausted the draft boards will be-
gin to call the others In Glass !, re-
gardless of their letter designation,
IN their numerical order. In the
meantime, however, it is thought
possible that the president Will sign
the bill calling for registration and
classification of men who have at
tanned their majority since June

UnioniStS Hold Grave Discussion.

London, April ia lengthy meet
ing of the Unionist war committee
was held in the house of commons
last night to consider the question of
home rule in Ireland and the war. A
statement issued after the meeting
said: ""The discussion was a very
grave one
According to the Daily Telegraph,
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader,
spoke in the interests of Ulster while
the other members urged that every
effort should be made to secure set
tlement of the home rule question and
even at the sacrifice of long cherished
principles.
While nationalist Ireland is making
plans for resistance to cOnscrlpuon lii
their country, the rest of the United
KINGDOM is more interested in the
home rule bill which George Barnes
announced in the house of commons
the government would introduce ana
pass or pail in the attempt.
The home rule bill it is understood
will AXE the form of a measure
amending the government of Ireland
pa ssed Just before the outbreak OF
the war but the adoption OF Whlcn
was suspended during the period OF
the war. General opinion favors Il
measure which could be made ap-
plicable TO Wales, Scotland and Eng
land. Several motions suggesting the
introduction of a federal system al
ready have appeared III the house
froptip,ted ON Eleventh Page).
