Provost Marshal-General Crow
der Says Date of Call
Waits on Congress. '
Washington, March 12. Provott
Marshal-General Crowdsr today mad
the first offioial announcement of the
tima of tha eeoopd draft.- It will b
ordered at soon as congress amends
tha law to compute the basis of ap
portionment among tha states en tha
number of registrants in Class 1 in
atead of population. For purpoaea of
computation. 800,000 man will b eon
sidtred, also composing the aecond
draft, although no auoh number wi
be called to the colore at any one time,
Men in deferred classifications, the
provost marshal-genwal announced,
would be called In small numbera aa
well aa men In Class 1 for the purpose
of utilizing special technical quaiinca
tiona or sending- them to echoola to
acquire such qualifications.
Tha provost marshal-general makes
the definite atatement. however, that
there will be no sudden withdrawal of
great numbers of men from industry
and agriculture during the coming;
sumrfler. but that they will be drawn
in relatively small groups, spread
throughout the year. To give the ex
act numbers, he says, would be to give
the enemy military information.
Available in April.
While den. Crowder sets no time in
his statement it has been stated pre
viously that supplies and equipment
for the men of the aecond draft would
become available in April and as ac
tion on the desired legislation is ex
pected before that time the first calls
are expected soon afterward.
"The next national quota will be an
nounced and apportioned among the
several states as Boon as pending
legislation authorizing a change in the
ua.ain u cuifipumiiuii 10 cuewvou wjr
congress," says the provost marshal
general's statement.
"The number that will be assumed
as a basis for computation will be
800,000, which is well within the au
thorlzatlon of clause 4 of section 1 of
the selective draft service act of
second increment of 600,000 men, in
creased by the recruit training units
aumorizea Dy clause o oi seuuuu ,
and by the special and technical troops
authorized by section 2 of said act.
"It cannot bo announced' what the
total number to be called to the colors
each month will be, but it may be
stated that no more men will be called
than can be properly accommodated
and promptly aasimilated.
"There are difficulties confronting
the nation In the supply of labor ap
purtenant to agriculture. Class 1
from which new levies are to be with
drawn, will contain many more men
than are at present required for the
army. It would be a most unscientific
and fatuous step if tha-wen In Class 1
were called indiscriminately without
regard to the labor situation In agrl
culture. ' Therefore, the local boards
will be directed to fill then quotas in
the order of liability of men in Class 1
as determined by the national draw
ing, except that, where it Is shown
that a registrant Is completely and
assiduously engaged In the planting,
cultivation and reaping of a crop, his
call to the colors shall be deferred to
the foot of the quota of his board as
long as he continues to be so engaged,
Idleness Ends Furlough.
"Whenever any registrant, whose
call to the colors has been deferred by
reason of his engagement in agricul
ture, is shown to have been idle on the
farm on which he Is engaged or to
have, trifled with the deferment that
has been accorded him, the boards will
forthwith induct him Into military ser
vice if his o:der number has been
reached in the meantime. The effect
of this expedient is to grant furloughs
rrom service prior to actual call to the
colors to the men so greatly needed in
the production of this year's crop.
"This is not, however, the only ex
pedient that is to be adopted to con
serve the supply of labor appurtenant
to agriculture and to mobilize all means
for increasing the harvest for the agrl
culture season of 1918.
"There Is now pending before con
gress a bill authorizing the secretary
of war to grant furloughs, with or

The whole 'industrial' and agricul
tural situation is being subjected to
very comprehensive study in order to
discover any means that may be taken
to protect and augment the labor
supply appurtenant to Industry and
agriculture without precluding the
nromDt and orderly progress of our
mllitiLrv clans. It la confidently be
lleved that great progress can be made
along this line and that more effec

can be nut into operation to attain
the desired end.
"It must be emphasized that this la
a war of mechanics. The need of the
several armed forces for men highly
skilled in technical and mechanical
mil-suits is greater than in any for
mer war. Tet this need for specially
skilled men finds the nation under
necessity for increasing Its production
in almost every line of Industry.
Withdrawals of men from Industry
must be made and these withdrawals
must take men who might otherwise
be deferred on account of their ape
clal Qualifications and skill. The nec
essary number of such skilled men will
be obtained In one or tnese ways.
Where Their Skill la Needed.

will be taken from the line reglmenta

they may have been placed in a de

with great care and parMwiarly from
the industries of the nation for spe

with certain educational qualifications
will beinducted into the service and
sent to universities, colleges and tech

have acquired such proficiency as will
