 ID FURNISH 4,000
All Men From This State Will Be Sent to Camp Pike--Number of Young Men That Registered Yes- terday Fit for Duty Is Placed at 75o.o0O

Washington, June 5.-While a miA- lion young Americans just turned 21 were registered today for service in the war for world freedom, orders went out from the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder to the gov ernors of all states except Arizona for the mobolizatlon between June 24 and 2S of 100000 more reglstrants. This brings the total number of selec- tive s~rvice men called to the colors to 1,5s5,704 and when they are in camp the nations army will number well over two million men.
 The registration today apparently was attended by perfect order that marked the enrolling a year ago of ten million men who form the great l reservoir uson which the nation is drawing to furnish the balance ST power on the western front to crush the German war machine.
 The men who appeared today be- fore the 4,500 local boards over the country have become of age since the first registration day, June 5, 1917.
 
 from their number there will be had 750000 men fit for active duty.
 While an act of congress requires that the new registrants be placed at the bottom of the class to which they are assigned many of them may soon be called to the colors, as to- days requisition upon governors will exhaust the first class in some states. While no formal explanation was made. this was believed to have been the reason why Arizona was not in- cluded in today's call.
 Results of the second registration will not be known until tomorrow.
 General Crowder has requested the adjutant general of each state to telegraph them a comprehensive summary of the results, giving the total registration, the proportion ts the number that had been expected 10 enroll, reasons obtained for any difference between the figures and the nature of any untoward occur renee attending the registration.
 Regiseration days for men here after becoming 21 years of age prop- ably will be fixed at every three months. It is estimated that one mr. lion men become of age yearly and the new registrants are expected to go far toward keeping up the rHss class in each state from which thus far all men for the national army have been drawn.
 Assignments for the men called to the colors under today's order indi- cate the rapidity with which troops now are moving overseas. In nearly every instance the registrants under today's requisition are assigned to national army cantonments whereas recently when calls were made, it was necessary to send the men to na- tional guard, regular army and other camps because the cantonments were filled.
 Illinois is directed to furnish 2S.50a men under the latest call. 4mpre than double the number called from New York, which is second on the list. The qtkta under this last call for Arkansas is 1000 men who are to be sent to Camp Pike.
 The house military committee to- day reported resolution by Chair man Dent making retroactive the bili basing the draft quotas on the num- Der of men in class og2 so as to legai- ize any exceeding of authority as to the number of quota which may have been made In the first drafting of men. The resolution was recon mended by the war department. Chairman Dent announced.
