TAKES ACTION.

hington.-Almost the first ac-
ton of the War Department, after an
nouneement of the signing of the
armistice with Germany was the
cancellation of the army draft
calls under which more than $685.
men had been ordered to entrain for
camps before November 30.
Urgent kilograms prepared three
days ago at the direction Of Provost
Marshal General Growder, were sent
to all draft boards directing that the
movement of 252, 900 men under or
ders to entrain be stopped immediate
IS. The kilograms reached most of
the boards in time, but a few men
are known to have started for camp.
Secretary Baker said, however, that
wherever possible their immediate re
turn to civil life would be arranged
Z nave suspended further calls IN
der the draft and induetions,o Mr. Ba-
Ier said. There viii be for the
present no additional men brought in
under the draft and to the extent that
we can we will turn back those men
who have been entrained and have
not yet reached training camps"
All men assembled for entraining
are to be considered as nonorablE
discharged from the army and paid
accordingly. Until further notice, no
inductions or calls except for The
navy and Marine Corps will be per
mitted.
Since August 1917, when the first
calls were issued under the army
draft law, 100000 men have been
indicted INTO the army. Practically
all physically qualified men between
the ages of 81 and 81 who we're plac-
ed in Glass 1 are now in the service.
