THE DRAFT.

WASHINGTON, April IA. Another draft
call for 49,843 reeistrants has been sent
to governors of States by Provost Mar
shal General Crowder. Mobilization of
the men is ordered for May 1st and 10th
and they will be sent to eleven forts and
recruiting barracks probably for train
ing with regular army units there. This
call increases to more than SOC, 600 the
number ordered to camp since late in
March. This is far in excess of the
monthly average that would have been
mobilized under the original plan to call
800, 600 men this year over a nine month
period. Under President Wilson's deter
mination to hasten the despatch of Ameri-
can troops to France to reinforce the
British and French armies bearing the
brunt of the great German drives, the
whole program of the army is speeding
up. Only week ago General Crowder
ordered mobilization of 10000 select
men for April 26th. Although every State
and the District of Columbia are called
upon to furnish men under General
Crowder's latest order, nearly half of the
49,, men will come from seven States.
Illinois will supply by far the largest
number, it's quota being 8,O47. Pennsyl-
vania is next with 8, ITO, New York third
with 3,542; Michigan fourth with 2, 593;
Missouri fifth with 2,l63; Wisconsin
sixth with 2, 1876 and Ohio 7th with 2, O6O.
Nevada has the lowest quota, 49. The
quotas of the other States include Con-
necticut, e59; Maine, 220; Massachusetts,,
1886; New Hampshire, 1877; Rhode Island,
159; Vermont, 1OI.

Our Righteous Cause

AUGUSTA, April 13 (SpecialD Gov
ernor Carl E. Milliken Saturday called
upon the people of Maine to observe Pa
trlots day in the spirit of the old-time
Fast day which it has superseded. His
appeal to the citizens of the State was
contained in his Patriots day proclama-
ton, the second of the kind ever issued.
Although Patriots day was legally created
in 1907 to succeed Fast day, the first
proclamation ever issued calling upon an
observance of the day was issued by Gov
ernor Milliken last year, shortly after the
United States entered the world war.
The proclamation is as follows:

A Proclamation.

We are at crisis which may prove to
be the turning point of the world struggle
that is to determine whether the hard
won fruits of centuries of Christian civil
ization must be sacrificed to the ruthless
ambition of a brutal military despotsm.
Hanging on the issue of this struggle
are all the ideals and aspirations which
are our heritage from the God-fearing
freemen who landed at Plymouth Rock.
Let Friday, April nineteenth, designated
as Patriots day, be observed in the spirit
of the old New England Fast day which
it continues Let us make it an occa-
sion of solemn devotion and supplication
to Almighty God for the speedy triumph
of our righteous cause. Let us beseech
Him to guard and defend our sailors and
soldiers on land and sea, to guide and di-
rect those who lead us in civil and mill
tary affairs, and to comfort all who are
bereaved.
And as the people of each neiehbor-
hood gather in churches, schoolhouses, or
other public meeeing places, let plans be
made for the utmost community co-opera-
tion towards food production and all 9TH
er public duties essential for the vigorous
prosecution of the war.
