Bruins to Go All Out
Against Wings onight
Tie Equals Record,
but Win Knots
Leafs for 1st

BOSTON Feb. 11.-1t's true the
Boston Bruins will be shooting for
the National Hockey League rec
ord here tonight-but it's more
important to the Bruins them
selves that they beat the Detroit
Red Wings TO take the National
Hockey League lead.
With victory or tie over
Detroit the Bruins can tie the
record of 10 games without defeat
established by the New York
Rangers last season. But if they
let the Detroiters tie them as they
did in four of the five previous
contests between the clubs. Bruins
will only be tied for the lead with
Toronto, instead of being out in
front for the first time this season.
The Wings came into Boston
this morning apparently quite
confident that they can whip the
club which squeaked out on De-
troit ice Sunday night with two
last period goals for % tie.
They need to win to keep Rangers
from tying for third.

Adams. when these Wings are
near full strength they're just

for the battle with Chicago Black

Draft Setup Costs s2O,OOO,OOO.

Members Of Congress, who passed
the draft law under whip and spur
last summer. are shocked to learn
that of the 100000 men placed on
the anxious seat only about 10000
have been called. The SelectlVe
bureaucracy. including $500 local
boards, is costing s2O,O00000 year
to maintain. Even on the basis of
the maximum flrst-year quota Of
100000, each board would be called
on for an average of less than three
draftees per week. Clerk hire alone
for the boards is costing $4,000, 900
a year.
There is the obvious fact also that
the older the men called the more
rapidly the reserve will Giintegrate
because of marriage, change in in
dustrial status, physical disability,
etc. Statistics show that within five
years after their first training peri
cd tWo-thirds of the draftees, aged
q to 35, will be married, and most
of them will have children. The
Census Bureau figures that less than
6 per cent of men are married at
10, less than 20 per cent at 81, but
more than half are married at %
and more than 80 per cent at 35.
The slowness in = calling draftees
into training has been due first to
the large number Of volunteers,
which has made forced service un-
necessary, and, second, to lack of
housing any equipment. But along
with this is an apparently belated
realization by the Army high COM
mand itself that a huge Army is by
no means the first and most acute
defense need. Sending of another

nitely out, and it is almost as well
settled that no foreign power is

Hemisphere.
Col. Kramer's Criticism.
Hence the growing opinion that
it would have been better to have
confined the draft registration to
the lower age groups.
Col Harry C. Kramer, who served
as executive officer of the World
War draft, is one of the most out
spoken critics of the existing law,
which he helped to formulate five
years ago. Col. Kramer was draft
executive for New Jersey when he
was called to Washington in Sep
tember, 1917, by the then Col Hugh
S. johnson to help reWrite the first
wartime draft regulations. When
Johnson was transferred to the gen.
eral staff a few months later Kra-
mer succeeded him as executive
officer.
For 13 years Kramer 1eCtured at
the Army War College on selective
service, and at the request of Gen.
John j. Pershing he drew up the
plan which, with the addition of
congressional "platitudes" and
"grandiloquences," as Col. Kramer
describes some of its provisions, be-
came the 1910 Selective Service Act.
One of the worst of the congress
sional interpretations. Kramer be-
lleVeS is the stipulation that draf-
tees shall not be called upon to
serve beyond "the Western Hem
iSphere, " an area not defined but
Which-if exactly construed-em-
braces parts Of Europe, Africa and
Asia.
Should it ever become necessary
to chase a defeated foe to vanquish
him in his lair" Kramer tartly OBJ
serves, "a writ of habeas corpus
would bring the Army home before
its purpose was accomplished"
Not Designed for Peacetime.
But Kramer's main objection is
that the law was never designed
for peacetime conscription and can
not be operated as such.
The selective service plan for
war was to provide within a year
some 100000 men. who were to
stay put until the war was over"
he said. 1T called for a country
wide and complicated system. No
such organization is necessary now.
AS the law stands it will take only
a year out of the lives of hundreds
Of thousands of men who will not
be soldier material when an emer-
gency does occur"
If he had his way, Col. Kramer
would call boys for training at the
age Of 18 on the ground that one
year training at that age would in
terfere least with their careers and
provide a maximum of subsequent
military availables. Assuming that
Congress would refuse to fix the
age this low, he would have it as
low as possible and. in the light of
current need, certainly not higher
than %.
AS far the administration officials.
they frankly admit the validity of
Kramer's major criticism. but they
have not arrived at a concrete plan
for obviating it. 1t is better than
an even chance, however, that the
selective service law will undergo
important changes before the COM
ing Congress is ended.
