Second Draft Army Call May 1
Be Hastened
Washington, Oct. 12.?Discussion
of the advisability of expediting
the call for the second ;
increment of the draft army ;
now is in progress at the war
department and it appears likely i
that the date may be fixed for
some time in December or January,
Mobilization of the first increment
of 087,000 men is now far
enough advanced to show clearly
that there will be a deficiency
i lor the 17 national army divisions.
More than 250,000 ot the
first increment are still to be as
, sembled, but it already is evident
that there will be available at
, the 16 cantonments quarters for
an additional regiment at each
post and at some lor a full bri[
gade of two regiments.
The strength of the new regimental
organization is 3,600 men.
With a regiment lacking at each
cantonment, this alone would
, mean a shortage of nearly 50,000
, men. In addition, there has
been authorized a separate division
of negro troops, which
means nearly 30,000 men withdrawn
from the original number
assigned to the 16 cantonments.
The shortage is due partially
to the necessity of taking out of
the national army men to fill up
national guard divisions. Two
complete national armv divis.
ions of southern troops have
i been absorbed in this way. The
remnants of three other southern
national army divisons will
be consolidated to form a single
, divisional unit, and the surplus
- men from other camps will be
sent south to make up the miss
ing divisions. ,
i Drafts on the national army
forces must be made to fill up ,
, the enlisted personnel of the avi
ation service, the medical corps
nrtsl ibrv J
auu uic aci vitc UUKitllUlia UCt'Ued
behind the fighting lines
abroad. Eventually, there will ,
be 250,000 men in the last named
, service alone, and aviation and
the medical service will take
nearly as many more though
not all of them will be taken
from the national army.
Operating to delay the calling
, out of the second increment to
make good these shortages are
several factors. Olothino- ami
equipment is coming forward
only at a rate that can meet the
demands of the forces already
, called, and the railways of the
country have been overburden
ed with the job ot moving the f
army and its necessities without
l hindering freight shipments vital
. to the allies.
Fixing the date for the call of
. the second inclement probably
hinges upon also the careful
[ study being made by General
J Crowder and his assistants of
I the results of the plan followed
in assembling the men called
, first. Many questions have
, arisen which it may be desired
to avoid hereafter, and substitute
| regulations to guide both local
> and district boards, prepared in
, trie light of what actual experi
? ence taught, may be issued to
govern the second call.

their armies hurling through

Take care of your loyalty to

There are numerous ways of

your support from the

You would bitterly and |

'ostage Rates Increase Novem- hi
ber 2nd 01
Rates of postage on letters and st
:ards were increased by con- tfc
jress just before its recent ad- js
ournment. The increase is ef- ^
rective Friday, November 2nd. .
3n and after that day three cents
postage will be required to pay ^
postage on one ounce or fraction a!
thereof, and each post card or si
postal will require two cents.
There is one provision, how- ^
ever, by which the three-cent P
letter postage is avoided and that s<
is mailing letters to addresses on n
rural free delivery routes cen- c
tering in the city where mailed, e
This means that all letters in- P
tended for Pageland people and tl
those living on-rural free deliv- b
ery routes leaving the Pageland c
postoffice, will still carry the o
two cents only and not three
cents. But all other letters shall d
carry the three cent stamp, or t
in lieu thereof stamps to the E
value of three cents. b
It is known that there are li
large quantities of stamped en- tl
velopes in the country, carrying: Iu
the two-cent denomination. To a
use these after November 2 it ^
will be necessary to attach a onecent
stamp in addition to that
embossed into the paper of the t(
envelope.
The announcement from the d
postoffice department at Wash- *
ington was received by Post- *
master Quick. a
And in addition to the three v
cent letter postage Postmaster
