Washington, Sept. 25.—Thé Sen- ate limited the examination of men registered in the draft today to “those who can be clothed, fed and equipped.” This limitation will pre- vent examinations of all remaining registered men at one time as de- sired by the War Department, It will be possible to have 1 1-2— million men under arms by October 15, which all the War Department planned. If a hurry call were is- sued by the President for more men, however, Congress would have to authorize money for examining them. Former Citizen of Butler Dies at Parsons, Kansas. A. H.
