But Numbers and Date for
Second Call Are Not
Yet Decided
SHIPPING SITUATION
ONE OF THE FACTORS
1t Is Not Even Determined
How Many New Men
Shall Be Called

Washington, Jan. 3l.-Expansion o
Americas fighting forces depends upon
such factors as events abroad and tho
shipping situation, Secretary Baker says
in disclosing that the war department
has not fixed date for another draft
nor even determined how many new
men shall be called.
The secretary said that under the au.
thority to call two increments Of line
soldiers Of 100000 each and such add.
tional numbers for recruit battalions and
special units the president may deem
necessary the second draft might
bring out as many as million men.
The Senate committee has tentatively
approved legislation proposed by the war
department to provide for registration Of
youths, attaining the age of twenty one
years since June 5, authorizing the fixing
of quotas on the basis of Class One of
the new classification and empowering
the president to call men for special in
dustrial or other work. Provost Mar
shall General Crowder told the commit
tee it was proposed to hold new draw
ing to establish the order of liability of
the new registrants. When the new men
have been given their serial number,
their names will be inserted in the
classes to which they may be assigned,
according to plan now being worked
out II is assumed, General Crowder
said. that most of the new registrants
will fall into Class One. giving that class
this wear a total of some two million
men. From Glass One ii is proposed to
take the next and future drafts.
In a formal memorandum presenting
his views, fhe general also disapproved
suggestions that the registration be ex-
tended to men beyond the age of thirty
one, saying the effort Of classification is
so great and SO expensive, and the mum

In a letter to friend in Burlington
| Major NJ. A. Burbank, former student
at the University of Vermont, now Will
a Canadian regiment OF engineers tell,
of the fight of the American engineers
on the western front and which he was
! in. As is known now, the Americans
were near Cambria, doing engineering
work, when the Boches came upon them
They dropped their shoyels and, picking
up rifles, engaged in the fight, with
great credit to themselves and the Unit
ed States.
Major Burbank while in college was
well known as football player. He left
college before being graduated and went
to the Illinois Central railroad and then
to the Grand Trunk Pacific. He enlisted
in Canadian regiment in 1915 and

He landed in England early in 1916 and
in France about September, 1916. He was
transferred to the 18th Canadian railway

and chief engineer for nearly year and
half.
His letter written Jan. ., in France, is
as follows;

Commissioner Murdoch.
