P TIRNPN gree Conferred By K. of Diptheria Case. i Under the new draft call Rhode Sysland will furnish 1,%8 more regis- “trants for Class 1 to the nnlionalv army during the five-day period beginning ay 25. Owing to the failure as yet congress to pass an act basing the ‘quotas in Class 1, the new call is ap- Sportioned under the first draft sy!fifl?, ;nled on population. Rhode Island's Sgross quota is given as 5640, from . Swhich credits for 2,792 army enlist- iments and 1540 credits for men ai Sready taken in the second draft are Ssubtracted, leaving a,net quota of $1283, the number of men summoned %in the second call. This is the largest “number of young men called for at any one time. The director of the draft in Rhode Island, Capt. George H. Webb, has ‘commenced to make the apportionment “among selection boards. Each district Swill receive its own due in credits, and it is possible that some may have to # Clcontribute but very few men in thi§ “contingent. In this call 45 colored men “are included. I According to Captain Webb, the istate has 5913 white men and 218 Scoiored men available for full military service in Class 1. This doee not “clude the men taken in the draft re- ‘cently or the others in Class 1 who “are held for limited service, but repre- Ssents only the actual number of fully Mualified men. The state will, there- fore, have 4,650 white men left for fu- Sure callé, when the new increment sent, and will have contributed 2,303 Jmen in the second draft, as {2,211 sent in the first. < "Captain Webb states he state gross quota of 40, which is smaller by 620 than the grc +®f the first draft, represents viewed as the second national army, Dut that it does mot mean more men will not be called % ghroushout the year exhausted and pos: 3n the second draft, he says, 2 Dusly incorrect. < Under a special call #ill furnish 189 men to 2 ®nd forts for specifi 3 they are needed.
