Gen. Crowder Wants
To Know Why So
Few Are in Class |
Surprising Draft Situation VIII
Be Given Nationwide In
vestigation.

Washington, May Maj. Gen.
Enock H. Crowder, provost marshal
general, intends to make nation
wide investigation to determine why
so many draft districts have placed
SO comparatively few men in class l..
The returns, which at last are COM
plete, reveal the fact that there are
approximately only 100000 men Of
this classification in the country, and
his object is to find out why there are
not more. The original expectation
was that there would be at least g.
900, 900 Of class /.
Members of the staff of the provost
marshal general consequently will
make a survey Of the returns from
individual districts, and, while there
are only few men in class l, will
send out representatives to review the
missionaries and other data in the
hands Of the different boards. There
are numerous instances where the
number Of men in class | are out Of
alt proportion to the total registra-
tion.

ing of the war under the conditions
now existing. If that were to occur
Won Hindenburg could well claim a
victory. Any other development than
this which in itself is niconceivable.
must create increasing despair among
those Germans who still retain nor
NAL reasoning faculties.
A simple continuation of the old
condition Of deadlock will find Won
Hindenburg in a far worse position
than he was before he began his drive
for the capture of the channel ports.
Not only are his man power depleted
and his defensive front increased but
also he has now created at home an
intensely disappointed public opinion.
There can be no question but that
German expectations were wildly OPP
timistic for a quick and victorious
peace when Won Hindenburg's often
sive was so grandiloquently started
seven weeks ago. The disappoint-
ment which is spreading throughout
the central empires will be very inn
portant factor in the future develop
ments of the war. These conditions
fully justify the feelings of elation
which are said TO exist at General
Foeh's headquarters.

should be seen by every man, woman
