266, 900 State Men To
Be Enlisted
Number From Maryland To
Serve On First Call Es.
timated At 5000

Some 100000 Marylanders will
be called upon to register under the
terms of the Conscription Act pass
ed Saturday by Congress and sent
to the President for approval, it was
estimated by draft officials.
The 266,000 are the men from 81
to S5 years of age, inclusive. Not all
of them, of course, will be indicted
into national defense service.
An undetermined number will be
found physically unfit. Some will be
found to be holders of key positions
in industry, government and other
functions that are as necessary to
national defense as an army.
Others will be found to have de-
pendents, and the army has said it
does not intend to call out men with
dependents in peacetime.
1t is highly probable, however,
that about 5000 of the 100000 will
be taken into the military service
almost Immediately. The Govern
ment expects to place ASSOC men
under arms in November and jan
uary.
The population of Maryland is
about liz per cent Of that of the ma
ton. The Free States first quota,
therefore, should be around 5000
men. More will go out later.
The 100000 figure is not exact.
The draft officials arrived at it in
this manner: The population of
Maryland is about 100000. Each
age group of males makes up about
l per cent of the States population.
There are fourteen age groups COW
cred by the CONSUMPTION bill. Four
teen per cent of 100000 is 1885,
900.
Lieut.. Col. Henry G. Stanwood,
Maryland National Guard, is the
military member of the group Gov
ernor O'Conor has set at work ON
the draft in the State.
The War Department, which has
been waiting until final passage of
the bill before moving incisively,
has not told the State just how it
wants a great many things done.
A case in point is the registration
stations. These will be the States
polling places, and the officials who
will man them probably will be the
regular election officials.
This is not certain, however, as
there will be no pay for the officials.
The various board of supervisors of
elections have been told that they
must man the polling places gratis
for registration of conscripts, and
they may have to resort to call for
volunteers in the event their regular
workers balk. In any event they will
have to man the precincts somehow.
