The orig- imal intention ot starting to the camps by the middle of October the first quota. of those who registered Sep- 12 has veen abandoned on ac- count of the infiuenza. The gzeneral staff recently ordered Provost Marshal General Crowder to cancel temporarily what was practi- cally the last call for men under the old draft ages.

Crowder has devised a speed contest among the various state and. local iboards. Three boards have already completad their task. They have classified all of the men have put the Class 1 men through the physical examination and have forwarded all of the data to the pro- vost- marshal general. Two of the boards are in Oklahoma and one in Jowa, Charts have been sent "o each state | eontaining the names of all local boards in the state with seven spaces marked off after the name. In these spaces the progress of the work of each board is ccnstantly kept up to date.
