MORE MEN TO BE CALLED SOON IN DRAFT MOBILIZATION
An order mobilizing a large number of men of the second draft is expected soon. About 150 000 are being mobilized now and up to 800 000 may be called in five months. The plan aims for roughly 90 000 per month but actual figures depend on need in France and Pershing’s authority to summon specialized units. Withdrawal from industrial life will be gradual to minimize disruption to industry and agriculture.
