by Uncle Sam for military service
in January. VINO had indicated that
army draft requirements would drop
sharply after the first OF the year,
but the War Department has certi-
fled a January call twice as large as
expected.
AS result, the combined Army

its present level OF about 100000 at
least for the first month OF 1914.
The War Department had TO in
crease its January call by more
than $4,000 above replacement re-
quirements because OF tagging en-
listments in. the WAC and due to
the failure OF draft boards TO meet
their october quotas.
The draft boards below-standard

by Selective Service officials to un-
