ONLY CLASS ONE MEN ARE
LIKELY TO FIGHT MAR.

The only men l1SteQ III class l
of the great national classifica-
ton of the registered men OF the
country probably will be needed |
to keep the ranks of the army
filled during the war is the pre-
diction of Provost Marshal Gen1
Crowder in his report on the OUT
come of the first draft, submitted
t., Secretary OF War Baker.
After expressing the belief
that class 1 will furnish nearly
q million acceptable men, Gen
eral Crowder said I
Whether this guess be justi-
fed in practice or not, it can be
announced now as the policy and
belief of this office that in all
proba bility it will be possible to
fill our military needs without
ever evading any class more de.
ferred than class l and this is
the promise, standard and the
goal, here for the first time an
nounced, toward which every adj
ministrative effort of this Office
shall be directed"
General Crowder stated, how
ever, that should class 1 fail to
furnish enough men, he prefer
red to see the draft law amended
so as to include men WHO have
attained the age of twenty-one
since June 5th last. and who will
attain that age each year as
long as the war lasts.
1t is estimated by officials of
the War Department that 700. OOO
men would become available for
the draft each year if the law
would be so amended.
The report shows that of the
1856. sos registrants Of the ma
tion 3.082, 949 have been called
and examined, and of this latter
figure 1,057,363 were certified
for military service. The War
Department needed only 6S7, 200
men in the first draft. and it was
explained that more than a mil
lion men were certified in order
to be sure of having the desired
number in camp.
The examinations of the ply
sicians in the draft disclosed the
TACT that city boys were as equal
~ fit physically for military SER
vice as country boys, both show
ing approximately % per cent of
reflections.
The total number of colored
men registered was 1858. or
8 per cent of total number regis
tered. Of this number 2Ge .G5S
have been called for exa nina
ton, and of the number called
1857 were certified for service.
These figures shows that So pei
cent OF the co1ored men called
were certified for service, against
Is per cent of the white men
called.
Comparative figures of the
medical examinations of the men
called in the draft for this war
with those called for the first
draft of the civil war show that
tie average American OF toda, |
is superior physically to those of
fifty years ago.
