CROWDER HAS
VALUABLE AID
He has weakness" for Lawyers and
He Has Surrounded Himself with
Distinguished Members of
the Profession.

Washington, d. c., Oct. l6.--One great
factor in Provost Marshal General Crow
der's success in administering the draft
has been the type Of men he selected to
assist him. General Crowder has "a
weakness" for lawyers, especially distiu-
guished lawyers, and he has them in
quantities now. They are not advisers
or consultants, but have been taken away
from lucrative private practices, thrust
| into uniform, and set TO work actually as
aides and staff members, to help run the
machine. Some of the legal luminaries
so captured are men of more than ma
tional note in their profession.
| The first man whom General Crowder
called in from civil life was Charles B.
| Warren Of Detroit, now colonel and SEN
ior officer on his staff Colonel Warren
has written most of the selective service
regulations, and was primarily respon-
sible for the formulation of the regula-
tions for the first draft incidentally
Colonel Warren has written many. of the
congressional statutes which have been
enacted into law in connection with the
draft. Colonel Warren was on two occa-
sions before becoming an aide to General
Crowder attorney for the United States
in international arbitrations. Once, dur.
ing the fisheries dispute with Canada, he
held the attention of The Hague tribunal
with an argument six days long. AT an
earlier date he was one of the lawyers
appointed by the president to argue the
case of the United States before the Joint
high tribunal created to adiudieate claims
of Great Britain against the United
States arising out of the Boring sea seal
fisheries controversy. Robert Lansing,
now secretary of state, was also of ooun-
sci in that matter, In addition to his
career in the field of international law.
Colonel Warren has developed financial
career. He is heavily interested. in large
industrial enterprises and banks in De.
troit, his home city, and had found time
to be president of the Detroit Chamber
of Commerce before he dropped his pri-
vate activities TO join General Crowder's
machine for downing the Hun, His VA
ried experience in law, business and
finance has naturally been an invaluable
asset in laying out and administering
the draft
Colonel j. H. Wigmore- most lawyers
will instantly think of Wigmore on
Evidence in this connection was dean
of Northwestern university law school
and author of several recognized volumes
on legal lore when the draft organization
took him. Colonel j. S. Easily Smith
q Washington attorney with supreme
court practice, came to the staff because
Of his successful work at the head of the
District Of Columbia draft board lie
exemplifes another practice General
Crcwder has developed, that of picking
up an executive who has been particular
ly successful with the draft in his own
