DUB ERICANS COWBOYS.
Italians Give Name to u. S. Filters Be-
cause of Wide Brimmed Hats.

Correspondence Associated Press.1
Rome Feb. 15.-"F7ying cowboys is
the popular title given here to Uncle
SANS first fighting corps in Italy.
The American aviatos, officers and
students. located at training camp in
southern italy are frequent visitors in
Rome and as they all wear the United
States army's service hat. popularity
knoNn here as the cowboy hat, the
word cowboy has been applied to them.
That these aviators are regarded as
cowboys was illustrated by an incident
with a cab driver that occurred when
a party OF them were on leave in Rome
and went outside the city walls to see
the Catacombs of st. Calixtus on the
Appian Way. When the aviators got
out of the cab near the entrance to
the burial place OF the early christians.
they asked the cab driver to wait. SO
he could drive them back to the city.
But my horse can't stand the trip
back with such heavy load he ex-
planned ITS war time and we haven't
corn or wheat to feed him. so he's too
weak. I've got family to support
and must take good care OF this
horse. You cowboys ought to under
stand how it is
Very well. we'll buy your horse.

CLASS TWO MEN
IN LATEST CALL
BETWEEN 10000 AND $1,000 COME
UNDER SUMMONS FOR NEXT
INCREMENT.
LOTTERY IDEA ENTIRELY
DISCARDED BY cRoWDER
Some Of Glass Men Will Wait For
Later Demand For Their Services
While Boys Actually Engaged in
Farm Work Will Be Taken Last.

Washington, March 13.-There will
! be no date set for the second draft for
the very sufficient reason that the sec
ond draft is on now.
The call yesterday for $4,000 men to
be assembled during the five days be-
ginning March % would go 10000 into
the second installment if all the men
liable 10 service under the original call
were used. Actually yesterdays $4,000
will take in 10000 or $4,000 of the
young men of the second increment,
while lot Of the original draftees viii
mot be hidden to the colors at all.
Their time will come. but it will be
when it is convenient for the camps
TO handle them.
Illinois. for instance, is required to
send 1851 as It's quota Of the $4,000.
There remain 5000 men of the original
draft, even after these have gone to
the camps. Wisconsin is asked for
.2214. Michigan for 1858 and Indiana
for 2977. while Iowa and Minnesota
are not required to send any.
Selection, Not Lottery.
There are calls from states that have
Hileu lNelT quota cl the llISl uIdIl, anu
some states that still owe men on that
account are passed over This simply
means that the selective system has
taken the place of the lottery plats and
that from this time on the United
States will take men as 1t needs them,
choosing the particular kind OF men
and being guided by then capacity Of
particular camps to absorb them, and
other considerations.
For instance the large quotas from
the southern states-nearly 5000 from
Georgia and over 5000 from North
Carolina-will take in the negroes who
were generally left at home when the
first cali was made. for the reason,
among other reasons. that southern
camps were not available and 1t was
not desired to bring them ip northern
camps during the winter.
According to General Trowder's bull
latin. 100000 has been decided on as
the number to be used for the purpose
OF allocadng the quotas OF the various
states. This does not mean that 500
600 viii be called out-there may be
only 100000, or there may be 1000, 600

going to get the mecanics into the
army with the minimum disturbances:
"First--M an who already are In the
military service, who have such Spo-

"Second-Men classified by the So

care and particularly from the in
dustries of the nation for special
service in staff corps and depart
ments.
"Th;rd-Young men Of draft age,

will re sent before April / to various

Regularly thereafter an increasing
stream of selected men will be sent
thru educational and other training
institutions for this purpose"
Take Farmer Boys Last
Under the new dispensatlon the
farmer boys fare better than any of
the other classes.
II would be most urscientific and
fatuous step if the men in class /
were called irdiscriminately, without
culture" says the provost marshal
general Therefore. the local boards
will be directed to MI their quotas in
the order Of liability Of men in class
as determined by the national
drawing. except that where it is shown
that registrant is completely and as
siduously employed in the planting or
reaping of a crop. his call to the colors
stall be deferred to the foot of tho
quota of his board as long as he con-
tinues to be so engaged"
But the farmer boy has to farm il
he wants the advantage his calling
gives him. II he idles on his job, or
shows any other indication that he is
not going to produce his proportion Of
foodstuffs by his own efforts, back he
goes to the ARMY.
The effect OF this is 10 grant fur
ioushs to agricultural laborers pend
ing their actual call 10 the colors.
Moreover. men already IN the army
may De furloughed to the farm if a

Five democrats and one republican
constituted the minority which spared
no words IN denouncing the resolution
declaring that it substituted the ar

contends. ITO defend the grant OF these
unheard OF powers by asserting that
the military authorities desire to take
for military services only those who
