In fixinu the ajrc limits In the service
In the army, the Senate and House pro
Tided for the rccistratlon of every man
who has reached his twenty-first birth
day but has not reached his thirty-first.
'Persons shall be tubject to rcfilstra

tained their twenty-first birthday and
ho shall not have attained their thirty
first birthday on or before the day set
for registration.".
The date of the registration is to be
fixed by the President.
IlU n Staff CorrrtrontltHt
WASHINGTON, May It.
r.lisht hundred nnd seenty-thrco thou
Band men In Pennsylvania, 171,800 of them
. Philadelphia, must po to the polls and
rcglter for military service under the terms
of the selective army service bill as Dually
Agreed upon ! the conferees represents
the Senate and Houe.
These figures nrc the olTlclal estimates of
the United States Government for Ju'y 1.
1917. based on the last Federal census. i.nd
were compiled today following the agree
ment on the part of the contcrecs to Include
in the draft all men between the nges of
twenty-ono and thirty years, Inclusive.
Throughout the United States, according to
the figures of the census experts, there are
today 10,027,300' within those ngo limits.
The ofllcial reports of the last census, which
was taken In 1910, show there were at that
time 8,824,038 maW3 between the ages of
twenty-one and thirty.
Estimating the population of the country
at 100,000,000 in round numbers, the state
ment that 10,207,300 aro males between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty means that
one person In every ten throughout the
Tnlted States, Including women and dill
Iren, will bo aal!ablo for military duty
tnder the new selective service system
Under the selective system, Pennsylvania
will be called upon to furnish approximately
ene-twelfth of the new Federal army that
is to be created. This Is In addition to the
thousands ot volunteers that must be en
listed to fill up the quota of the State In
National Guard organizations and the regu
lar army
With 10,027,300 men between twenty-ona
and thirty In the United States, the sehc
lion of the first Inclement of 600,000 men
will mean that one In every twenty of those
liable to service under the act must go.
Pennsylvania will furnish for the first Incre
mept 43,650 and of that number 8500 will
fo from Philadelphia. Each succeeding
Increment of 500,000 will lake Just that
many more from the avallablo men left at
home. After the first Increment has been
In training six months the next will be
called md to on until the United States
has an army of 2,000,000 men In addition
to the regular army of 287,000 men and
625,000 in the National Guard.
There Is an Ironclad prohibition against
any drafted man hiring n substitute to
lerve for lilm, as was clone so ficquently
when the draft was resorted to during the
Civil War. livery man drafted1 must serve
unless excused from service. Specific exemp
tions from service are made by the bill
In the case of the Vice President, State and
Federal legislative, executive and Judicial
officials, ministers nnd those studying In
theological t-chools, also members ot reli
gious organizations whose creeds prohibit
their members from participation In the
war. The President may use the latter ex
tmpted class for noncombatant duties.
There Is no blanket provision In the act
exempting married men from service under
the draft. The marrieu men as wen as the
single must go to the registration plncos
for enrollments If they come within the age
limits, but In view of the fact that all
married men having dependents arc being
excused from the National Guard at this
time It Is not believed that the married men
enrolling under the draft will be utilized for
the present at least. The law does authorize
discharge of those "having persons depend
ent upon them."
It is specifically provided that In addi
tion to tho&o excused because of physical
1 disabilities, tho President may utilize em
ployes of arsenals, armories, navy yards
end similar military activities in tho reg
ular employment.
Provision Is made for the creating of a
loral board In each county and one for
every 30,000 persons In cities to determine
tho exemption of Individuals from service.
The boards, each ono of which Is to be ap
pointed by the President and composed of
at, least three members, are to bo free from
military connection. Additional boards, one
for each Federal Judicial district, are to be
created to review tho findings of the local
boards If appeals nre made to them. The
decisions ot tho district Hoards are to be
final, except that the President may affirm,
modify or reverse any decision.
As soon as the President signs the se
lective service bill, making It law. It Is cx
, prcted that he will Issue a proclamation,
fixing the date on which all men between
the prescribed ages must present themselves
for retaliation. It Is planned to use tho
local election machinery to obtain these
lists of ellglbles, and so far as possible tho
Voting precinct lines that have obtained In
past elections will be used In this registra
tion. Any person who Is eligible to sorvlco
and who fails to appear for registration
will be liable to a year's Imprisonment and
registration after that time.
Men In tho lowest grades of pay are to
receive $10 a month moro than Is now re
ceived by enlisted men In the regular army.
That means that privates will start at 125
Instead of 15 a month. Those who now
receive $45 or more a month will have an
Increase of 5 a month.
