BAKER HALTS
DRAFT CALLS
Men Ready to Depart for
Camps Are Sent
Home.

Movement of men to training
camps was ordered stopped by the
President early yesterday morning
after definite news of the signing OF
the armistice was received. Gen.
Crowder at once sent kilograms to
all district boards. The messages
were ready in advance. and when
word came from the War DeDart-
ment, all that was necessary was
for Gen. Crowder's night force to
send them
In few cases where men of the
draft amounting to $4,000 ordered
to camps during the five davs be-
ginning today had started entraip-
ing before 6 o'clock. the kilograms
failed to catch them. Wires were
at once dispatched to their com
manding officers on the trains and
at the camps OF destination to turn
the men back.
They. with all other registered
and uncalled men, retain their sta
tus under the draft classification
ard are subject to call should peace
fail to follow the armistice..
Secretary of War Baker made this
announcement at 1850 a. m:
Il have suspended further calls
hHuei tlt uIdlN ana lnQuctlOnS, and
there will be for the present no
additional men brought in under the
draft: and to the extent that we
can, we Mill turn back those who
have been entrained and have not
yet reached training camps"
The President also ordered that
all men who had been inducted into
the army but who had not as vet
been entrained for camp should be
discharged from the army and re-
vert to their draft classification.
In addition to the 25E,00O called
for these five days. November calls
flor more than 10000 are set aside
No terms for demobolization of
the men in training camps have
been considered. but it is expected
that this will precede the with
drawal of the armies from Europe
The suspension of the draft does
not affect existing calls for men for
the Maripe Corps or the navy.
Clsssiftation of the registrants
above ss will be continued and their
missionaries sent to them 10 be
filled out. while physical examina- :
