Expected in April While General Crowder sets no time statement it has been stated | aviously that supplies and — equip- tment for the men of the second draft ; would become available in April, and action on the desired legislation is ex. pected before that time. The first calls are expected soon afterward. “There are difficulties confronting the nation in the supply of labor,” the provost marshal general's state- ment. “It would be a most unscientific and | says | | | fatuous step if the men in class 1 were | called indiscriminately without regard {to the labor situation in agriculture.” | Therefore, the local boards, will be | directed to fill their quotas in the or- ‘der of liabilty of men in Class 1 as} | detérmined by the national drawing | ‘except that, where it is shown that a registrant is completely and assid-; | uously engaged in the planting, cul- | ‘tivation, or 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.

Extra cars will be provided for the men, The movement will ‘be handled by the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Soo Line and the ‘Milwaukee system, each carrier picking up the select service men in each respective teritory, who | will be mobilized at their county seats, except in cases where the’ county seats are inland towns, as is true in. three counties, on the Slope. General Fraser is inclined to bi lieve that North Dakota has not re- ,ceived full credit on the first draft for all the men who have been volun- tarily inducted into the service since the last call was made. If this is the case, the state unquestionably will re- ceive credit for these men on the sec- ond draft, which will be made some time in April, according to reports from Washington The adjutant general will be busy for the next two weeks getting our schedules and orders to county boards. County boards will be notified at once to have their deferred quotas in readi- ness for March 29. Rolette county has not been bothered at all by this first | draft, ‘because more than its quota of patriotic young men had enlisted be- fore the call was made. ‘It is prob- avle that several other counties will have received sufficient credits to not be required to send any ‘men on this last call. This, however, is a matter which cannot be determined until General Crowder advises as to the ex- act number of credits applied on the first draft from voluntary inductions.
