OTHER DRAFT MEN SLATED TO MOVE FEBRUARY 23

Provost Marshal-General Crowder announced Monday that the movement of the last increments of men selected in the first draft will begin on February 23 and continue for a period of five days. This will complete the operation of the first draft, as all states will have provided their full quotas. The movement will bring the strength of the national army to the 687,000 men contemplated in the first draft. The number of men to be shipped to Camp Zachary Taylor at Lousiville will be 6,284.
