ONLY CLASS ONE MEN
NEEDED IN THE ARMY

Washington, Jan. 3.-General
Crowder, in reporting TO congress
today on the progress OF the draft,
expressed for the first time the defi-
mite promise and aim OF the govern
ment that 1t would not take for ar
my duty any other men than those
listed in class one under the draft
questionable.
This classification excludes mar
ried men entirely whose wives or
families are dependent upon them
for support and other men who have
dependents.
General Crowder estimates that
there will be 100000 physically
fit men in this classification that
will be available. This, he says. Is
sufficient for present military needs
but to assure future supply he re-
commends that men who have be-
come of age since June and who
hereafter reach that age, should be
added to class one. This will auto
matically insure 100000 yearly.
