WASHINGTON, April G.-Approxi-
matey 10000 men will be sent to
training camps during the fiveday pc
riod beginning April 26 under orders
sent to state governors today by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder for mo-
bilization of the April call of the sec
ord draft. This is three times the num-
Der it was originally planned to call,
and is nearly twice the monthly quota
as based on the calling Of 500 900 men
over period of nine months.
Calling out OF the increased number
was made necessary by the decision Of
President Wilson to respond without
delay TO the need of France and Great
Britain for rcinforcements in the great
battle in Picardy. Vacancies in National
Army divisions, resulting from the
withdrawal Of men to complete National
Guard and regular army units and for
the formation OF special tactical units
asked by General Pershing, will be made
good by the April draft. Those divisions
furthest advanced in training are to
receive first attention, in order that
the maximum number OF complete
units may be sent abroad soon.
To Ignore Quotas"
Failure of Congress- to pass the
amendment to the selcctivc service act,
which would permit the fXation of
state quotas on the number of men in
Class /, necessitated temporary ad-
herence to the old system. Local
boards have been officially advised
however. that they are to ignore
"quotas" for the time being and to SIM
ply continue calling up men until they
have obtained the number they have
been instructed TO forward
When a basis for establishing state
quotas has been found due credit
against future increments will be given
for those already called. Among tn.
men to be called will be approximately
116,700 whites and 33.700 negroes
Pennsylvania leads with 1905 called
Ohio is second with 1O,3O2, and New
York third, with 10171.

NO FORMAL CALL FOR
DEFERRED PERCENTAGE

Onicial notification has been
received by Adiutant General C..
S. Moody from Provost Marshal
General Crowder that there will
be no formal calls for deferred
percentages Of the present quota
Of draft men until February IS,
1913. Calls will, however, be
made very shorty under the pro-
visions of section il9 for the
special class men there mem
toned.
In other words the effect of
This decision will be that the
benefit of the new classification
system Will be given to all men
whose order numbers are so late
as to place them within deferred
percentage of the present call.
This information is today being
transmitted to the various county
exemption boards.
The deferred percentage re-
fcrred to- are the men who it was
originally intended to call i'm the
first draft They will hold over
until the second draft goes into
effect. The following is the order
of the provost marshal:
1T has been decided that there
will be no more formal calls for
deferred percentages before Feb
ruary IS. While boards should,
until they have enough men final
ly classified i'm Glass I. send for
ward promptly men selected I'M
der the old regulations to make
up deficiencies in calls already
made, the result of this decision
will be that we shall be able to
give the benefit of the new ciassi-
fcation system to all men whose
order Numbers are SO late as to
place them within deferred per-
centage of the present call. Calls
will, however, be made very
shortly under the provisions of
section ii9 for the special class
of men there mentioned.
