GENERAL CROWDER SAYS CLASS
ONE WILL BE EXHAUSTED
AFTER JAN. 1.
ARMY IS GROWING STEADILY
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1919 Will
WITNESS SOME HEAVY
DRAFT CALLS.

Washington, June 17-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder told the Sem
ate military committee that 100000
Americans will be under arms Aug.
1st next.
Extension of the age limits in the
army draft will be necessary, Cen
eral Crowder said, if the present rate
of draft call continued. He estimat-
ed that all the men in Class / would
be exhausted soon after next JAM
uary.
General Crowder said that 1,347, 900
of the 2,428,000 men placed in Glass
/ already had been called to the col
ors. He estimated that some 100000
additional men for the first class will
be obtained from the men who reg
istered June 5, and that another 200,-
900 will be added by the reclassifca-
ton of men in the re-examination Of
the questionaires now being made.
Requisition from the draft to COM
plete the 100000 total by Aug. 1,
General Crowder said, have been
made. OF these 100000 will be
draft registrants and the other volun-
teers and national guardsmen.
Everybody thinks there will be
heavy calls during the first six months
of 1919" was significant statement
made by General Crowder.
General Crowder approved the gen.
eral principle of the bill introduced by
Senator France of Maryland, extend
ing the registration ages to from 18
to 45 years, thereby providing addi-
tional men for military and industrial
service.
He did not however, approve the
age limits fixed in the bill.
After outlining the plans of the
war department for additional calls.
General Crowder said that at the
present rate class one will be ex-
hausted by the end of the present
year, and that unless the age limits
are extended and another registration
held, it will be necessary early next
year to call men in class two and
probably soon thereafter in class
three.
General Crowder submitted figures
showing the progress of the draft
this year. A total of 1,347,512 men.
all from class 1, will have been called

The race between Thos. Frankson,

Townleyism and disloyalty received
a severe rebuke by the people OF
Minnesota at Mondays primaries at
which time one Chas. A. Lindbergh
was defeated as the Republican can
didate for governor by fully $4,000
majority as indicated by $500 out
of 3,1O0 precincts in Minnesota. Re
turns indicate that Lindbergh has lost
every Congressional district in the
state. Burnquist's majority in Min
neapolis, St. Paul and Duluth is about
10000 and 10000 in the country dis
tricts.
The large vote in the cities gave
Socialism a singing bloW and proves
the loyalty of labor.
In spite of the overwhelming ma
jority, Townley in speech at Hills
boro, N. D., Wednesday claimed Lind
bergh had been counted out by dishon-
est election judges. This statement is
about as near the truth as Townley
usually comes in his public utterances.
The s9kept press" "big business" and
the "profteer" were declared respon-
sible for their poor showing. Mon
days result thoroughly eradicates
Lindbergh from the body polite in
Minnesota and it also very likely in
dicates that Townleyism has reached
it's crest in this state.
Sank Centre repudiated Lindbergh
and Towne1yism in no uncertain man
ner. Stearns county has given Lind-
bergh a majority of about 1000. This
is 1000 less than the Herald had
expected in this county. The follow
