100000 MEN TO GO
TO ARMY CAMPS

Washington, April 6.-Approxi-
mtely 100000 men will be sent to
training camps during the hve-day
period beginning April 10Th under
orders sent to state governors today
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
for mobilization of them on the sec
ond call of the draft This is three
times the number it was originally
planned to call and is nearly twice the
monthly quota as based on the call
ing of 100000 men over a period of
nine months. Calling of President
Wilson to respond without delay to
the need of France and Great Britain
for reinforcements from the great
battle in Picardy. Vacancies in nat
ional army divisions resulting from
the withdrawal of men to complete
National guard and regular army
units and for the formation of special
technical units asked by General Per-
shing will be made good by the April
draft.
Failure of congress to pass the
amendment to the selective service
act, which would permit the 6xation
of state quotas on the number of men
in class one necessitated temporary
adherence to the old system Local
boards have been officially advised,
however, that they are to ignore
quotas" for the time being and to
simply Continue calling up men until
they have obtained the number they
havecbeen instructed to forward when
a basis. for establishing state quotas
has been found. Due credit against
future increments will be given those
already called. Among the men to be
called will be approximately 1l6,7OO
whites and $1,000 negroes.
The assessment of the state of
georgia is $3.50.
