WASHINGTON. Feb. 23 While war

department officials reiterate that no i

date has definitely been fixed for the calling of the second dmft for the national army, all available outward indications would seem to point to some time during the month of April or at the latest, early in May Such an estimate is based on the

known preparations for equipping and !

housing the men. It. is no military secret that equipment and supplies for men of the second draft will become available soon after April 1 and careful observers look for the first increment to be called soon afterward. The number of men to be called in the first increment has not yet been determined because the question of housing them has not been disposed of. There will be room for some of them in camps and cantonments now

occupied by troops and it is possibleJ
