A total of 24,234,21O men, of II per
cent Of the entire male population of
the nation, registered for military SER
vice; 100000 had been inducted into
the army and 2,000,0 more were avail
able for immediate call. while out Of
the entire quota of men who were
called through the draft system less
than 1900 refused to fight for their
country.
These figures were revealed for the
first time recently In speech here by
Maj. Zen. Enoch H. Crowder, provost
marshal of the army and father Of
the draft" the man who devised the
selective service system, who organ
ized nearly 100000 soldiers of the ma
tional army. and sent hundreds of
thousands overseas to fight.
"The draft machinery was never at
any time handicapped in its gigantic
task" the general said "Its success
was almost perfect"
A total of about 100000 men induct-
ed into the service, he said, represent
ed 70 per cent of qualifications. In
other words, 30 per cent of those regis
tered and examined failed to qualify,
but many of these were accepted un-

WOULD REDUCE
COTTON ACREAGE
Cotton Men, Merchants and
Others Working to That
End at Meeting.

A movement that had its origin with
the Memphis Cotton exchange Is on
foot to have the acreage of the 1919
cotton crop reduced at least one third.
The movement has the backing of the
governors of the cotton growing states,
the bankers, merchants and MANY
farmers who appreciate the necessity
of curtailing acreage and production II
adequate prices are to be maintained.
In four states--Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and South Carolina-Feb. Is
has been designated as a holiday, and
the farmers and business men have
been enjoined to gather at the county
seats to discuss the movement and to
accomplish what they can toward Sc
curing the cooperation OF the farmers
The Memphis and Shelby county
meeting will take place on Saturday,
Feb, Is, at 10 o'clock, on the sixth
floor of the Chamber of Commerce. In
other counties in West Tennessee and
In Mississippi and Arkansas the meet
ings are expected to be held at the
courthouses, as called for in the proc
lamations of the governors.
The Memphis Clearing House asso-
citation has met with the cotton factors
and announced its hearty approval OF
the movement. Letters will be sent by
the clearing house members, by the
cotton factors and supply merchants to
their country customers urging that
they influence the farmers as meas
ure of self-protection to reduce their
cotton acreage and convert the land
into food crops.
1t is understood that the other states
will take up the agitation which has
already spread throughout the South
and endeaVor TO make the meeting of
Feb. Is general. There will be no diff
Guilty In any state, 1t is believed, ex-
cept in Louisiana, where a meeting has
been called by Gov Peasants at the
Hotel Grunewald for Feb. II. At that
meeting the Louisiana cotton men,
merchants, farmers and others will
agree on a program which will be sub :
mitted to the farmers over the state at
general meetings to be held on Feb. %.
One of the difficulties confronting
those who are behind the movement
for a reduced acreage and higher
prices, is the inability to get persons
sufficiently familiar with the enter
prise to attend and address all the
meetings. 1t is hoped to obviate This
difficulty by enlsting the aid OF the
department Of agriculture.
j. p. Norfleet, chairman of the fac
tors committee, has written a letter to
Senator McKellar asking that he in
tercede with Secretary Houston and
ask him to detail all of the government
agricultural agents in the South to this
work. 1t is hoped that their influence
can be utilized In securing the attend
ance Of the farmers at the Feb. Is
meetings, and either address them at
the meetings or help to arrange the
program
