months. Men from 400 branches Of

mated today.
Most OF the calls will be compare
lively small, ranging from 10 to 1000

State or local, not nation wide.
One section OF the country in which
men OF one trade are most numerous
will be asked TO furnish the entire
quota OF that trade unless IL Is very
large instead OF taking q few men
from every State in the union. The
War Department will try to see that
the burdens are equitably distributed,
