CALL ABOUT 100000 MEN
These to BE Taken from Class
One at Intervals During the
Year to Complete Organi-
cations.

Washington, March while a
large number of men will be called
out during the present year to fill
up the army and complete its organ
ization it was learned last night that
war department plans do not call
for the creation of any additional di-
visions in 1918. The announcement
concerning the second draft expect
ed soon from Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder may outline the man.
ner in which less than 100000
men-probably not much in excess
OF SOO,OOO-are to be summoned
gradually during the year to COM
plete the existing organizations.
Delay in the announcement as to
the next draft is understood to be
due TO uncertainty as TO which
method of alloting quotas to the
states is to be followed. The sem
ate already has passed and the house
military committee has favorably
reported an amendment to the law
TO base the quota on the number of
men in class one, instead of upon the
total registration of a state. This
change is regarded as certain to be
made, but to avoid further delay
schedules of allotments under both
systems have been prepared at the
provost marshal generals office ready
TO go out as soon as final action is
taken.
