accommodated and promptly as
simulated.
There are difficulties con-
fronting the nation in the supply
of labor apurtenant to agricul-
ture. Class l, from which new
levies are withdrawn, will con-
tain many more men than are at
present required for the army"
WILL LEAVE FARMERS
It would be most unscien-
tific and fatuous step if the men
in Class were called indiscrim-
inately without regard to the
labor situation in agriculture.
There, the local boards will be di-
rected to fill their quotas in the
order of liability of men in Class
l as determined by the national
drawing, except that, where it is
shown that a registrant is COM
pletely and assidously engaged
in the planting, cultivation and
reaping of a crop, his call to the
colors shall be deferred to the
foot of the quota of his board as
long as he continues to be so en-
gagged.
Whenever any registrant,
whose call to the colors has been
deferred bv reason of his en-
gagement in agriculture, is
shown to be idle on the farm On
which he is engaged or to have
triflec with the deferment that
has been accorded him, the
boards will forthwith conduct
into military service or his order
number has been reached in the
meantime.
The effect of expedient is to
grant furloughs from service
prior to actual call to the men so
greatly needed in the production
of this years crop.
OTHER EXPEDIENTS
This is not, however, the
only expedient that is to be
adopted to conserve the supply
of labor appurtenant to agricul-
ture and to mobilize all means
for increasing the harvest for
the agriculture season of 1918.
TO sum up. it may be said
that there will be no sudden
withdrawal of great numbers of
men from the ranks of industry
and agriculture during the COM
ing summer, but that men will
be drawn in relatively small
groups throughout the year in
such a way as to create the least
possible interference with au-
thority and agriculture. Men in
deferred classes as well as men
in Class l will be selected in
small numbers either on account
of their special technical quail
fications or for the purpose CT
sending them to school where
they will be given an opportunity
to acquire such qualifications. =

Washington, March II. =
Provost Marshall General Crow
der today made the first official
announcement of the time of the
second draft. It will be ordered
as soon as Congress amends the
law to compute the basis of ap-
portionment among the states
on the number of registrants in
Class l instead of population
For purposes of computation
100000 men will be considered
also composing the second draft
although no such number will be
called to the colors at any one
time.
Men in de ferred classification,
the provost marshall general
announced, would be called in
small numbers as we'll as men in
Glass l for the purpose of uti-
lizing special technical qualifca-
tons or sending them to schools
to acquire such qualifications.
The provost marshall general
makes the definite statement,
however, that there will be no
withdrawal of great numbers of
men from industry and agricul-
ture during the coming summer,
but that they will be drawn in
relatively small groups, spread
throughout the year. To give
the exact numbers, he says.
would give the enemy military
information.
While General Crowder sets
no time in his statement, it has
been previously stated that sup
plies and equipment for the Sec
ond draft would become available
| in April and as action on the de-
sired legislation is expected be-
fore that time the first calls are
expected soon afterWard.
QUOTA WILL CHANGE
'The next national quota will
be announced and apportioned
among the several states as soon
as pending legislation authori-
zing a change in the basis of
computation is enacted by Con-
gress, says the provost mar

THAT number that will be as
sumed as a basis for computation
will be 80, which is we'll with

of Section l OF the Selective
Service Act of a second mere
ment of 100000 men, increased

authorized by Clause 5 of Sec
ton /, and by the special and
technical troops authorized by
Section q of said act. It cannot
be announced now what the total
number to be called to the colors
each month will be, but it may
be stated that no more men will
be called than can be properly
