Des Moines, Oct. 2s.-Adjutant Gen
eral Lasher Friday received a tentative
can for 14,7o4 Iowa men of the Sept. IL
registration to be sent to camps for
training during the months of Novem-
Der and December. Before these men
are sent all those remaining from the
previous registrations who have not en-
tered the service will be called. This
means that practically 10000 men at
least fronf>Iowa will be called during
the next two months.
Men 10 and 20 years of age and from
81 to SO will be included in this tenta-
tive call, which Is for II per cent of
the registrants of those ages. 1t is
designated tentative call for the rea-
son that the provost marshal is unable
to arrange all of the details with re-
ports on Sept. IL registration from
many states still incomplete. 1t is
possible the number may be increased.
The definite time for calling out the
men and the camps to which they are
TO he. assigned will be determined later.
Lt is expected that the call for $500
~me6, to- TO to southern camps in the
five. day period starting Oct. 81, but
which was postponed because of the in
fiuenza. will be put into effect soon.
The call for 500 mechanics to take
special training at Ames who were to
have gone Oct. Is will also be put into
effect soon, it is thought: The state
odjutant generals Office has wired
Washington that Ames will be ready to
receive these men after Nov. 1.

templated that directionstfor such Glass
statement asfof date fixed will be
given at the earliest practicable mo-

However,. calls to fill the above men,

registrations of the 10 to SO regfstrants.
The provisional and temporary al

in view Of the influenza epidemic it
may be necessary to entrain great
part of the provisional allotment of one
state before the allotment of. one state

state can be ready to entrain the pro-
yisional allotment above made or any
appreciable part thereof"
Adjutant General Lasher replied to
General Crowder that he can not give
a date when Iowa can commence to
furnish these men because certain
boards do not obey orders and give a
daily Glass report showing the num-
her of men of the Sept. IL registration
available for general military duty.
