Anteri's drafted army cannot be called to e colors for at least two months.

There is every dication today that it will be at month ,, , lulmbly six werka every local district hua been efore assigned its quota. This woik which is under the supervision of the governors of Ihe several states is moat complex und involving one of ths problem which will arise will be the

rs were killed I y j matter of determining the populaship was torpe ! turns of the exemption districts. In

large cities the exemption districts are not based upon ward or precinct divisions entirely and this will involve a juggling nf census figures and a sifting out nf inhabitants of each exemption district. juetion of Credits. There also ut ises the serious ques tion of determining the credits to , which each exemtttion district is entitled. This work will mean that tho" w jr department will have to ripaaa ng lisl,i of men enlisted In either the national guard or the regular army since April 2. These enlistments wilf then have to be arranged accenting to residence and finally divided aecording to the exemption diswisU. This work alone will mean seTeral weeks of labor bv large stuffs of ! clerks. W hen the quotas are finally deterI nlin(,( l)(,n wj rom? the work ftf a, lowing exemptions anl discharges. and fairness have been made the watchwords for exemption boards and this means that there will be no hatty healings of claims, and that every claim must be substantiated. When affidavits are presented with claim for exemptions these ailiduvits will bave to be investigated. All of this will entf.il ennriderable time. The Final Delay. The final delay will come In the mobilization of the men selected for service. War department men claim that this work will take at least two i weeks from the time that '.he first j call goes out and they expect to b I at least a month in collecting all of the stragglers who may attempt to evade the draft, or who have ben away from their district. In the mountain and country districts thia work will be found particularly hard, it is anticipated. Despite indications that the national army cannot be called for many weeks yet. Provost Marshal General Crowdcr is pushing his forces today in an uttempt to make tha actual drafting as early as possible. Secretary of War Baker is particularly anxious that this selection be made as soon as possible in order that there may be a degree of certainty for the future among the youths of tha country.
