ATTORNEYS
MAKE DRAFT
SUCCESSFUL
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.1— One great
factor in I’rovost Marshal Marshal
General Crowder's success in admin
istering the draft has been the type
of men he selected to assist hint. Gen
eral Crowder has a "weakness" for
lawyers, especially distinguished law
yers, anil he has them in quantities
now. They are not advisers or con
sultants, but have been taken away
from lucrative private practices, thrust
into uniform, and set to work actually
as aides and staff members, to help
run the machine. Some of the legal
luminaries so captured are men of
more than national note in their pro
fession.
The first man whom General Crow
der called in from civil life was Chas.
B. Warren of Detroit, now colonel and
senior officer on his staff. Colonel
Warren has written most of the selec
tive service regulations, and was pri
marily responsible for the formulation
of the regulations for the first draft.
Incidentally Colonel Warren has writ
ten many of the congressional stat
utes which have been enacted into
law in connection with the draft. Col.
Warr-n was on two occasions before
becoming an aide to General Crowder
attorney for the United States in in
ternational arbitrations. Once, during
the fisheries dispute with Canada, he
held the attention of the Hague trib
unal with an argument six days long.
At an earlier date he was one of the
lawyers appointed by the President
to argue the case of the United States
before the joint high tribunal created
to adjudicate claims of Great Britain
against the United States arising out
of the Bering sea seal fisheries con
troversy. Bober! Bansing, now sec
retary of state, was also of counsel
in ttint matter. In addition to his
c ate, i- in tile Held of international law,
Colonel Warren has developed a fin
am iai an -a lie i - heavily interest
i-d in large industrial enterprise and

I let ft - i t chamber t-' comiitei-e h.-fnr.
lie dropped hi private ... t i\ it i.--. in
join General Crowder's machine for
downing the Hun. His vuried exper
ience in law. business, and finance,
has naturally been an invaluable asset
in laying out and administering the
draft.
Colonel J. H. Wigmore most law
yers will instantly think of "Wigmore
on Evidence” In this connection was
dean of Northwestern University law
school anil author of several recog
nized volumes on legal lore when the
draft organization took him. Colonel
J. S. Easby-Smlth, a Washington at
torney with a supreme court practice,
came to the staff because of his suc
cessful work at the head of the Dis
trict of Columbia draft board. He
exemplifies another practice General
Crowder has developed, that of pick
ing up an executive who hus been par
ticularly successful with the draft in
his own locality, and bringing him in
to headquarters.
.Major J. It. Clark, also of Washing
ton. D. formerly solicitor for the
state department, has been newly add
ed to the department, ns office adju
tant. The exhaustive medical provi
sions of the draft are now under the
direction of Colonel P. It. Keefer, a
regular army officer, who heads the |
medical division.
Lieutenant Colonel Grant Trent, who !
sat on the Philippine islands supreme
bench for several years, and Lieuten- j
ant Colonel Joseph P. Fairbanks, a
New England attorney, give special j
attention to the digest of draft cases
appealed to the President. Lieuten
ant Colonel Itoscoe S. Conklin, a rela
tive of the famed New York senator
and political leader, is now particular
ly charged with classification ques- ;
lions for the whole of the draft with
in the United States, because lie had
proved particularly successful in get
ting through emergency organization
in New York City. Lieutenant Colonel
H. C. Kramer, now heading an Inspec
tion division, came in after making
a success In New Jersey, as agent
for the adjutant general of that state
in similar duty.

isllcs have to lie marshalled to keep
