Second Army Draft
Begins This Month
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
MEN TO BE CALLED TO COL
ORS DURING YEAR.

Washington, March 12.-Eight
hundred thousand men are to be
called to the colors gradually during
the present year under the second
army draft, which begins on March
20. An announcement today by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
of the number to be called was fol-
lowed closely by an order for the
mobilization of $4,000 men during
the five day period beginning March
20, some $4,000 of them to be as
sembled under the second draft.
Eighty thousand will be men of the
first draft of $4,000, not yet sum-
moned into service.
Details of how the second draft
is to be applied will be made public
later after congress has acted upon
proposed legislation providing for
the registration Of youths attaining
lineage of. FL years and for basing
State and district quotas on the
number of registrants in Class 1.

A PICNIC.

On Friday, a crowd Of eighth
grade girls decided we would walk
around the fve-mile belt and carry
lunch and have a little picnic. 1t
was a pretty day, so we went. We
started about half past three o'clock
in the afternoon. When we passed
Long Cane cemetery, we decided to
spread our lunch in a nice sandy
place under tree. We had plenty
of municipalities, crackers, potted
ham, peanut butter, apples, bana-
mas, and chewing gum.
After we had eaten u lunch we
took some pictures. Then we start
ed home but stopped at Cornelia
Clinkscsles' about an hour. We left
this place about half past five and
were back in town before dark. We
had a very good time and hope to
60 again next Friday.

subject, however, General Crowder.
assures the country that no sweep
ing withdrawal of large numbers Of
men at one time is contemplated,
and that care will be taken to avoid
interference with harvesting.
The $4,000 men now called, it is
understood, are needed at once to
fill up divisions and other units
scheduled for early departure or to
take the place of men transferred
from other divisions to make up
such deficiencies. Newly organized
regular divisions r particularly
short of men and heavy drafts on
National Army divisions to make
these good have been necessary.
The 100000 men to be summoned
this year represent the number nee
essary to fill up all existing divisions
to create all the army corps and
field army troops to fill out the war
machine for which the framework
already exists and to provide a quar-
ter of a million replacement troops.
When they have been modified,
which will not be completed before
the first of next year, there will be
more than As full infantry divisions
of 27,700 men each and all the addi-
tional units necessary. No addition
al divisions of the National Army
or National Guard will be created
this year, although the program for
the regular army may be enlarged.
To give the exact numbers, the
provost general says, would be to
give the enemy military information
While General Crowder sets no
time in his statement, it has been
stated previously that supplies and
equipment for the men of the Sec
ond draft would become available
in April and as action on the desir-
ed legislation is expected before that
time the first calls are expected soon
afterward.

In spite of sprained fingers which

To the tune of the roofing of Happy

PORTIA.

OIIld was d uSduCllul youll6
lady who lived in Belmont, near
Venice. Her beauty attracted re-
nowned suitors from all parts of the
world. Bassanio, in describing her
said, "She is fair, and fairer than
that word, her sunny locks hang on
her temples like a golden fleece;
which makes her seat of Belmont
Colchos' Strand, and many persons
come in quest of her."
Portia was witty as we'll as beau
tiful. She showed her wit in de-
scribing her suitors to Nerissa, her
maid. Speaking of the County Pa
lathe, Portia said:
"He doth nothing but frown; he
hears merry tales, and smiles not;
I fear he will prove the weeping
philosopher when he grows old, be-
ing so full of unmannerly sadness in
his youth"
Of the French lord, Monsieur LIE
Bon,f she said: "God made him, and
therefore, let him pass for a man."
In describing the young German,
who was very fond of drinking, she
said:
81 will do anything, Nerissa, ere
I'll be married to a sponge"
Portia was far more intelligent
than the women of her time were as
a rule. She had a broad mind and
a masculine intellect. She wa also
skilled in oratory and the affairs of
the state. By her knowledge of law,
she once saved the life of Antonio,
her husbands best friend. In the
court room when Shylock had his
knife raised to extract a pound of
flesh from Antonio, Portia said:
"Tarry a little; there is something
else. The bond doth give thee here
no jot of blood; the words express
ed are, "a pound of flesh; but in
cutting it, if thou dost shed one
drop of Christian blood, thy lands
and goods are, by the laws of Ven
ice, c~onfscate unto the state Of
Venice"
Shylock, on hearing these words,
dropped his knife and left the court
room without taking his bond, know
ing that he had lost the case.
