The order calls for the immediate
marshalling of 1885 men for service
With the 1894 hHen of the draft who
were federalized with the Hawaiian
National Guard, practically every man
Of Glass ! will be In khaki before
Uncle Sans birthday. The order Of
Ahiutant General Mccain to the de
paftment commander was as follows:
Provost marshal general is di
rected to call 1896 registrants
from the Hawaiian Islands July
at Fort Armstrong. Provost mar
shall will arrange details with you
and the Governor. Advise the Gov
Prnor.
Capt. II. Cooling Field, sclcctive
uTalt OWceT lot lnP Territory, VIII ~
sue wireless and mail orders today to
all local boards Immediately to notify
the men registered in their jurisdic
tiOns to assemble at rendezvous points.
He said yesterday that out of the
G252 men classified in Class Ia, nearly
every one of the 1894 registered in the
guard is now in service. Deducting
the guard draftpps from the total of
w., L..
of 4SS A large number of this bal
anrc have already been inducted int
the service through the regular army
department.
Other Sec tions Affected
Thus practically every man Of the
fighting class" is ordered to the
cOlOrs. To allow for reflections because
of physical disabilities, the draft Off
Ger will call an additional ten percent
from other sections of Glass |, pre-
ferably from d and f subdivisions, and
the call may extend into Class 9, but
if so, it will be very light.
General Crowdcr was notified by
cable yesterday from the GovernOr's
Office that the instructions had been re
reived and would be Immediately car
ried out.
These draftees will be called by their
order numbers. With the rigid physi-
cal examinations which were held bv
local medical boards and the medical
advisory board of the selective draft, |
it is believed that II heavy percentage
will qualify.
The order number is not the one
the registrants receiN ed at the time of
his registration, but the number he Oh. |
tanned when the drawing took place
IN the Capitol. Assuming that the
first number drawn was No. 49, this
number became No. Of the serial |
class. Assuming that the second slip !
of paper drawn bore the number G24, !
this became No. Of the serial list
and so on.
Each one of the local draft boards
is considered n separate unit under the |
selective draft regulations, so that the
number l3 became the first number in !
each of the six divisions of the local ,
boards.
Report At Fort Armstrong
All the draftees are to report at the
army camp at Fort Armstrong; which !
is designated by General MrCpIn ns
the mobilization camp. Each board |
will send out his induction notice on
which appears the man name, serial
number and the hour and day on which
he is to report for duty. The day and
hour designate the instant he begins
his army service, and he is then under
the direct orders Of the war depart
ment.

Ranch, on the Island of Hawaii, re
ceves his induction notice next Sat |
urday, giving the time when he is to
report at the nearest rendezvous, his
army service begins on the date writ
ten in. When he leaves IIumuulu the
