The bill, com- pleted in congress yesterday had been sent to the White House for the presi- dents signature today soon after the house and senate convened.
 Over Twelve Millions Expected
 It is estimated that at least 12,77S, 900 men will enroll, compared with nearly ten million at the first registration June ,, 1917.
