Passage of the new law, basing
draft quotas on the number of men

there will ever be necessity for call

This is the opinion OF Adjutant
Quotas have been determined ac-

resolution to change the basis to the
number of men in class ! has been
passed by the house and needs only
the presidents signature now to
make it law.

"There is too great difference in
the percentage of men in class l In

From "a per cent of the total !
counties to 81 per cent in others are

There is no good reason for such
a great difference except that local

Those who have for years been
wanting to find out whether this
county or any part of it is underlaln

There is no longer any question

Ford, the secretary of the Mercer

a test will be made. The syndicate
is already in position to assure that.
The only question is how thorough
that test will be.
