ORDER FOR 100000
| MORE REGISTRANTS
THE MOBILIZATION ORDER JUST
ISSUED BECOMES EFFECTIVE
JUNE 24-2e.
ARMY NOW OVER 1000, 900
Tennessee Must Furnish 5000 Under
the Call, Arkansas 1000, Missis-
sippi 1900 and Alabama
1000.

| Washington.-Whilea million young
Americans just turned q were regis
tering June 8 for service In the wal
for world freedom, orders went ont
from the office of Provost Marshal
General Crowder to the governors Of
| all states except Arizona for the mo
| bilizatiOn between June "a and % Of
200. 900 more registrants. This was IN
addition to 10000 negro men requisi
| toned from 20 states and brings the
total number of selective service men
called to the colors 1,596,704 and when
they are in camp the nations army
will number well over 100000 men.
The registration last week appar-
emily was attended by the perfect or
der that marked the enrolling year
ago OF 100000 men who form the
great reservoir upon which the nation
is drawing to furnish the balance OF
power to crush the German war ma
chine.
The men who appeared before the
$500 local boards over the country
have become of age since the first reg
istration day, June 5, 1917. Military
authorities estimate that from their
number there will be had $50, 900 men
fit for active duty.
While an act of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed at
the bottom of the class to which they
are assigned, many of them may soon
be called to the colors, as requisitiOn
upon governors probably will exhaust
he 81 in CT
Registration days for men hereaf-
ter becoming Fl years of age probably
will be fixed every three months. It
is estimated that 100000 men be-
come of age yearly and the new regis
trants are expected to go far toward
keeping up the first class in each state
from which thus far all men for the
national army have been drawn.
Assignments for the men called 20

cate the rapidity with which troops
