experience, or cooks I
"la making this selection order
numbers nre not controlling, but grent I
cao must bo taken not to scud men '
whose order of call Is so late that they
will not bo within the quota of tho !
boards. Tho enreful selection of these
men will be of great assistance to the)
orderly organization of tho Natlonul
army, and It Is hoped that local boards
will act with this end In view. i
"In order that It may not be neces-1
sary to make any special railway nr-'
rangemcnts and to prevent a conges
tion of norninl railway tralllc, local
boards should be Instructed to send
approximately 1 per cent of their
quotas on each of flvo consecutive
days, beginning September 5.
"Since no special tralllc arrange
ments are necessary, the udjujunt gen
eral of tho state may leave to tho locul
boards the routing of their men, re
quiring such boards to send the small ,
dally groups by the shortest usually
traveled route to tho mobilization
cumps.
"Practically all that will be ordlnnr-,
lly necessary Is for the local boards fo
select their men, call them to military
duty, provide for their subsistence and
lodging and transportation and dis
patch them by the shortest practicable
route to the mobilization camp."
