Need Not 60 Out of Class 1 to Get Army
Washington April 20 Under the classification of men for selective draft service Provost Marshal Gen Crowder advised the senate military committee that about 2,208,088 will be in Class 1 from which all future calls will be made. This 2,000,000 excludes 560,000 to 1,000,000 more annually who will be subject to military duty under the bill in Congress. From 2,050,000 men in Class I it is unlikely calls will exceed the highest class. About 50 percent of youths reaching 21 under the new law may be placed in Class 1.

Alleged Enemy Alien Paroled on Bond in New York
Charles Tangler aged 05, arrested on a president's warrant for failure to register as an enemy alien, was paroled this afternoon on a reduced bond of 500. Securing a freeholder to bond him proved difficult as many feared suspicion of German loyalty. Tangler came to the United States about 40 years ago and has lived here continuously. He states he has no relatives in Germany and has not written since leaving. He was told he need not comply with the alien registration act due to his long residence and claims no disloyal acts or statements. No complaint has been made against him for disloyal acts or statements.
