Endless Rules and Regulations of Draft
Known to One Little GnL-"MajorBaly "
-By EDNA Huber CHURCH

WASHINGTON. May IA. - The
thousands and thousands of drafted
men in the national army realize but
little how important a part a little
woman played in the great gamble
which sent them into the military
forces.
When senators and congressman
and war department officials sing
the praises of the draft system they
always mention Provost Marshal
Gen. Enoch CrOwder, Lieut. Col.
Hugh Johnson, Lieut.-Col. Allen
GuIlion and a few others. but none
of them seem TO know that Major
Billy" Wenborn is a mighty big fac
tor in the draft machine which is
running so smoothly.
Major Billy" is a little girl who
keeps the thousands and thousands
of rules and regulations for draft
boards running straight She is just
a little girl and she lisps, but she
has been real major in handling
one of the most difficult tasks in
this war.
When the plan of draft was first
announced there were a few rules
and regulations laid down. Major
Billy" learned the rules and regula-
tions. New rules and new regula-
tions were added every day as new
situations and new cases came up
and Major Billy" remembers I
every one of them.
The rules and regulations grew
too fast for the big officers TO re-
member them all and so they began
calling on Major Billy for in
