Provision will be made for the

But in such a case extreme care
should be taken by him to see that

Baker Says Present Sup
ply Of Men In Camp Will
Maintain Movements

Washington, August 16.-General
March outlined for the senate mill
tary committee calls proposed of
men under the new draft regulations
now in process of enactment, the
calls for the next year or more be-
ing as follows:
August, ESQ, 900; September, 2OO,-
900; October, $1,000; November,
10000; December, 10000; January,
100000; February, 100000; and 300,-
900 monthly thereafter until the end
of the next year.
These calls would aggregate 4,205,-
900 against the estimate Of 1890, 900
to be had from the new registra-
tion, but no explanation was made
of this and other discrepancies in the
draft figures. General CroWder has
said that the present reservoir in
class one will be, exhausted by next
October. /, but Secretary Baker made
1t plain that the reservoir of men
now in camp in this country is suf-
ficient to keep up the present troop
movement overseas. .".
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Aug. 16.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder announced
that plans already have been made
for registering the 100000 addi-
tional men who he estimates will be
brought under the selective law when
congress enacts the pending bill ex-
tending the age limits to include
men between 18 and IS years. From
this number approximately 1900, 900
qualified for full military service are
expected to be secured.
So urgent is the need for addi-
1lonal manpoWer, General Crowder
said that the draft machinery is
being put into shape for the great
task ahead without waiting for fin
al action by congress. Men of the
new draft will he needed by Octo-
Der / and to get them registration
than Sept. Is and If possible Sep
tember 5. q,
When the 100000 are enrolled,
nearly 25,000,o00 VIII have been reg
istered since the United States en-
tered the war; ..
State headquarters, local boards
and other officials in the various
states haye hees9 advised to- bald
themselves in readiness to proceed
promptly with their work as soon as
congress has acted and the President
by proclamation, has fixed the date
for registration said General Crow
der's statement.
Call For Cooperation.
Until the legislation is actually
passed, it cannot be. stated with ex-
actness, of course, what the new age
limits will be. But because of the
urgency of the situation, it is essen
tial that as much of the preparatory
work as possible be done at this
time that the administration may
promptly avail itself of the new law.
To that end now, as in the past
the utmost reliance is placed in the
American people to supply the nee
essary cooperation and team work.
The situation is urgent because
by October 1, class one, under the
age limits OF the original act, will
have been entirely exhausted. Unless
there is to be a very serious inter
ruption in the flow of American
troops TO the camps and thence
across the seas to France class one
