set by Marshal Foch for a decision by
Germany for peace or for continuation

Draft Calls Cancelled.
Almost the first action of the war
department after announcement of the
signing of the armistice with Germany
was the cancellation of all army draft
calls under which more than 100000
men had been ordered to entrain for
camp before Nov. 80.
Urgent kilograms were sent to all
local draft boards directing that the
movement of 252, 900 men under orders
to entrain be stopped Immediately.
The kilograms reached most of the
boards in time, but a few men are
known to have started for camp. Sec
rotary Baker said, however, that wher-
ever possible their immediate return
to civil life would be arranged.
II have suspended further calls I'M
der the draft and inductions," Mr..
Baker said There will 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"
