 gade at Camp Devens, has been se- lected for training in the Fourth Off, cers' Training school at that camp, in expectation of receiving com mission. He was drafted from Paw catuck and at the time was manager of the Hinckley store in which he had financial interest.
 Under the new draft amendment l basfng quotas on Class 1 instead of population, Rhode Island will have l about 4,000 men in the first class. l However, many men in the first class
 are enlisting in the navy, for which
 credits are not given, and this reduces | the number available for the draft. If 1 the amendment is made retroactive 1 the states credits toward the second l draft should materially reduce the size | of future calls.
 l Captain George H. Webb, director 1 of the draft for Rhode Island, received | orders Tuesday night that the state must furnish 500 more men during the
 present month, as 50,00o men are needed in a special emergency The
 men will be selected from Class 1, and
