Method for Entraining Men
to Be Fixed by Maj. Donovan

Whether or not the old method of
| each local board of the District
| handling its own men for entrain-
ments will be followed in the future
is to be decided by Maj. Daniel ].
Donovan. director of the draft.
A movement has been set on foot
to get the director Of the draft here
to return to the old method, instead OF
continuing with the system at present
in vogue whereby several hundred
registrants are entrained as a unit.
Following the somewhat disorderly
entrainment from Union station June
90 the sentiment has grown among
local board members in favor Of the
old method, when each local board
handled its own men. Under the old
system the men of each board re-
ported for induction at the office of
the board the morning Of entrain-
ment. 1t was then up to each board
to get its own quota to camp.
The entrafnment OF three or four
hundred men as a unit, 1t is declared,
gives rise to confusion by reason of
drafted men from one board leaving
their places in the line and getting in
with other contingents.
There will be several large entrain-
ments this month from the District,
beginning July is.

Case Involving the Support
of Registrant's Dependents

A local board OF the District has
asked that a certain case now before
it be brought to the attention Of
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
The case involves the first appeal
by a local board from the recently
promulgated ruling that the parents
of a registrant's wife or the regis
trant's parents are not to be consid-
cred as means of support for the wife
IL the registrant is called to camp.
President Wilson, 1t is known. gave
the weight of his opinion to the above
ruling.
1t is understood the board members
have knowledge to the effect that the
parents. respectively. of the registrant
concerned and of the wife have ap
proximately S500.000 in each instance.
and that it is their belief that the
man should be held for military duty.
