Crowder Strikes at Loafers in Draft War Drive
Ninety thousand American troops landed in France in May as the war department outlined plans to raise a 20 million man fighting force over seven years. Crowder issued a drastic draft rule forcing every man of draft age to fight or work after July 1, with no exemptions for dependents. The measure targets gamblers, actors, athletes, waiters, domestics and many service workers to bolster farms, shipyards and munitions plants. President Wilson backs the expansion while warning that those who flee will be prosecuted. Russian prisoners arrive in Petrograd as Ukraine and Baltic fronts see fighting and starvation worsen for Germany and Austria. The Sinn Fein arrests in Ireland spark political controversy as Britain's draft policy intensifies in the home rule crisis.
