DRAFT TO BEGIN IN JULY
President Approves General Scheme
Worked Out by War Department
to Secure Fair and. Unselfish
Application of Law.
WASHINGTON. June 22. There will
be no serious delay In construction of
the 16 cantonments for the National
Army. Secretary Baker said today, and
all of the establishments will be ready,
probably about September 1, the ten
tative date considered for summoning
to the colors the first 625,000 men.
The prooess of selecting the men, the
Secretary Indicated, probably will be
set In motion early In July. Regula
tions for the exemption and selection
processes have been prepared and will
be made public next week.
President Wilson is understood to
have approved the general scheme
Worked out by the War Department to
secure fair and unselfish application of
the law through local officials.
Most of the contracts have been let
for the construction of the 16 canton
ments, Army officers have been de
tailed to oversee construction, and un
der an order published today the en
gineer units of the National Guard of
15 states will be mustered Into the Fed
eral service lmmedl-ately to aid In tech
nical features of the work.
Dei Moines Site Uncertain.
At each cantonment. It was an
nounced today, all construction oper
ations will be under direction of a con
structing Quartermaster, who, as the
responsible representative of the Gov
ernment, will check up all the figures
of the contractors to see that their
cost, plus percentage contracts, are
fairly executed.
The only question as to cantonment
sites that Is not finally settled, Mr.
Baker said. Involves a possible reloca
tion of the cantonment now assigned
to Des Moines. Objection has been
raised "to the Des Moines location on
gr.ounds that the railway facilities are
not adequate, and that It will be Im
possible to provide proper drainage.
These points have been reopened for
consideration.
Building of the cantonments, the
Secretary said, would proceed on the
present general specifications, though
some minor modifications would be
made because of suggestions by the
medical committee of the defense coun
cil, of which Burgeon-General Gorgae
is a member. After the camps are
built and the troops under training, ad
ditional funds may be asked of Con
gress to carry out further the sug
gestions of the doctors.
Work Can Be Speeded.
By way of emphasizing what can be
done In a short time when all the
resources of the department are put to
work, officials revealed today that
cantonments for the regular Army
made necessary by the expansion for
war purposes have been rushed almost
to completion.
Seven of the men designated as con
structing quartermasters are regular
Army officers and the others are
civilian engineers who have been com
missioned as Major In the Quarter
master's Reserve Corps. Among them
Is Donald H. Sawyer, of Spokane, who
will be assigned to -the Rockford can
tonment. The regular Army officers
named as construction quartermasters
are:
Captain Edward Canfield, Jr., Ayer;
Major Harry C. Williams, Wrights
town; Captain Frank B. Edwards,
Petersburg; Captain Ward Dabney,
Chilllcothe; Captain Frank J. Horman,
Fort Riley: Captain George E. Thorne,
