Baker Of the

at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, but who has
been transferred during the coming
campaign for funds for the Y. M. c..
a., with headquarters at Sumter, to
travel this district, gave a very inter
esting address at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday night.
He stated at the outset that the Red
Cross was the greatest organization
of its kind .hc Y. NJ. c. A. coming
next. He said the difference between
the two is that the Red Cross cares
for the sick, the wounded, and the des-
titute. while the Y. NJ. c. A. helps
the boy while in health and able to
do his part. In speaking of the "Y"
ne said he had in mind the Y. NJ. G.. A.,
the Y. w. G. A., Young Mems Hebrew
Association, the w. G. G.. s., and the
American Library Association, all of
which organizations had been author
lied by the government to hold a
united campaign for funds, rather
than separate campaigns.
In very clear, concise manner, he
carried his hearers in Imagination to

PLANS
ALLOTMENT OF MEN
Navy to Get Average $4,000 Men
Monthly
THE MARINE CORPS 5000
Navy Will Not Accept Men Who Can
not Read and Write

Washington, Sept. 22.-Thc pro-
gram under which the navy and the
marine corps will secure the men here
after needed was announced today by
| Secretary Danials after conferences
! with representatives Of his depart
mcnt, the marine corps and the pro-
vost marshal generals office.
: The navy is to have an average OF
fifteen thousand monthly, while the
marine corps vii lgct five thousand
monthly for four months and one
thousand five hundred each month
thereafter.
OF the navy's allotment Of fifteen
thousand it may enlist or enroll men
who have special qualifications for
certain navy work, but the remainder
will come from "thc run Of the draft" "
navy officials calling out skilled men
to meet as far as possible the special
needs. of the service.
Men who inow hold or may here
after be given deferred classification
on account Of dependency will be per-
mitted to enlist in he navy as the
highcr pay given is expected to do
away with the possibility Of hardships
10 the dependents. Those who have
had previous service in the navy will
be permitted to rc-cnlisi. In no case,
however, not even from the draft, will
he navy accept men who cannot read,
write and speak the English language.
nor will it accept men not citizens of
the United States or conscientious OBJ
jcctors.
Much the same system will be fol-
lowed in enlsting men both in the
navy and marine corps. Naval recruit
ing stations will be known as "mo-
biliZation ccnters," each having diff
fercnt territory to serve and they will
be established at central points. Ma
rine corps recruiting Offices also will
be kept open.
Men desiring to enser either the
navy or marine corps will be required
to make application at the proper re-
cfuiting office When men are ac-
cepted for the navy the mobilization
officers will apply for them through
their draft boards, but, in the case
of men qualified to enter the marine
corps the recruiting officer will send
request to the provost marshal gen
eral for their enrolment and the To-
cal boards having jurisdiction to en-
roll them.
Naval mobilization points an
nounced by Secretary Daniels include
Norfolk for Virginia, West Virginia,
North and South Carolina.
Atlanta for Georgia, Alabama and
Florida.

DRAFT LOTTERY WILL

70 Determine Order of Calling of 49,
100000 Men
BOARDS NEED MORE TIME
TO Correct Any Possible Errors Made
in Assigning Serial Numbers

Washington, Sept. 24.-Thc nation
al lottery which, in measure, will
determine the order Of the calling Of
the 100000 men between l8 and As
years of age who registered Septem-
ber ~, probably will not be held be-
fore next week Officials had hoped
to fix a date late this week, but this
plan is understood to have been aban-
doned in order that additional time
may be given local boards to correct
any errors made in assigning serial
numbers to the registrants.
Since men between 70 and 3G are
to be the first called to the colors,
the drawing will have less effect
upon determining the order Of the call
than did that for the nearly 900, 900
men who turned 81 before last June
5. Order numbers for all the 13,OO0,-
600 men will be drawn, but youths Of
18 and men between &c and 45 will
not be classified until the boards have
given classification to all the men
between 10 and SO who are the first
to receive their qucstiOnnaircs. In tn"
meantime many of the 1896 classes
will have been inductcd into service
Reports received today by Provost
Marshal General Crowder from nearly
all States indicated that satisfactory
progress is being made by local boards
in attaching serial n1nbcrs to the
registration cards, but in one or two
instances mistakes by local boards
have made necessary the REMEMBERING
of the cards for all rcgistrants under
their jurisdiction. No date for the
drawing can be fixed until this work
is completed.
Only five States have now to re-
port the totals of the registration.
Unless their returns show sharp de-
crcases under the official estimate.
the total registration will exceed the
original estimate Of 12,778,O0O.
