Washington.—A record

nation’s statutes in six months are
laws in numbers, scope and import-

Called April 2 by President Wilson
(within a month after his second in-

among Germany’s foes, from the
passage of the war resolution, April
6, until the President's signature of
the last law, Congress has worked in-
cessantly on legislation of vital pres-

“Ag our patrol vessels are in Eu-

PLANS FOR NEXT DRAFT.
Practically All Eligibles To Be Sum-

Washington.—Plans for calling up
the next draft of designates for the
National Army are now complete.
The exact number
to be called up is about the only ques-
tion still undecided.
That, however, is a detail, inasmuch
as General Crowder has determined
that a majority, if not all, of the
eligibles will be summoned without de-
lay for physical examination and to file
exemptions if the latter are to be
claimed, so that eligibles will know ex-
actly how they stand on the list.
Revolutionary changes are to be
made, in the methods. Complete ad-

take that was made in the first call.
