There are so many lines of work

Washington, July 25. —Prepara
tions for actual mobilization went
ahead today, while the local selec
tion boards in many parts of the
country began summoning for exam
ination the men who will compose
the force.
There are numerous details to be
worked out before those summoned
can actually be sent to their train
ing cantonments. It is believed now,
however, that a considerable num
ber will have been finally selected
before August 1. The entire força
will be ready with the exception pro
bably of a few disputed esses, by
the time the sixteen cantonments are
ready, early in September.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
under whose jurisdiction the selec
tive draft men will remain until they
are transferred to the books of toe
adutant general as soldiers, pointed
out today that the local boards act
ually are selection, not exemption
boards. Their primary purpose he
said, was to select from registered
men those qualified for military ser
vice. The men they turn away after
examination will be rejected, rather
than exempted, because of physicial
disability or dependents.
The exemption boards proper are
the .district boards, which have pow
er to say whether the work a man la
doing at home will be more impor
tant to toe government than his ser
vice} as a soldier.
