tion day ON June 5. This was the
official order issued from the office
of Provost Marshal General Crowder
this morning. This action, it would
appear, is to prepare for delay Of
the passage of the eighteen to forty
five man power bill now pending.
The order calling for the registra-

Washington, Aug. l4.-September
was the date decided upon for the
registration of men under the new
man power bill, but this afternoon 1t
was announced that 1t would be
changed and set for a later date.
This change was announced because
it was found it would interfere with
primary elections already set for
September in many states of the

Regarding the new registration an.
nounced to be held on August "a,
Provost Marshal General Crowder
stated that it was the object of his
department to keep class one full

cation of the millions that would be
