Dear Sir:—— ,
Vile beg, to submit herewith certain
statcments and considerations which
we believe demonutraie beyond query
lion that. the method recently our
played by the war dcptttflment for;
allocating the draft quotas among
the serum! stutctt worked grout in~

in view of the facts and conclusions
hereinafter set forth “'0 l'ccl warrant-
cd in making 0. respectful but most
‘urquut request that steps he at once
taken looking. to 2-1 different and more
equitable method of apportioning the.
cusuinc draft levies, and at the sumo
time we strongly insist. that due

Connecticut in subsequcnt levies for
W‘ lxoerts 'tunber of soldiers re)
quired to be furnished by it under the
iii-Equitable. and unfair basis of con
tribution heretofore uscd.
Connecticut, during the months of
February. March and April, 1917,
made a complete ccnsus of its mule
population beyond the true of fifteen
year: and can prcscrwo tilt‘ records
of that census in card form. The
date of this cerium is so recent as to
mako it perfectly reliable. for our
present. use. The curd records dio-
closc tho ages. nationalities, occupa-
tional. and nlllllhI’l‘OllEl other character“
lotion V‘ “‘1th Iudlvldrltls (recorded
hereon. and tabulations made there-
from form in huge incnsure tho basis
of the statements and arguments
hereinafter made.
We beg: to call your attention to
the fact. that the method clamor-
lionmcnt. uscd for the first draft has
operated in several ways to impose
unfair but-dons, upon this State.
*F‘irst—fllt grossly exaggerated the
population of thc State, thewby in».
creasing the quota required without
adding in any way to tho supply of
men from whom the quota must be
drawn. .
The census of 1010 gives Connecti.
cut 0. population ol‘ 1.114.000. in furn-
ishing his recent cutimatc to the war
department the director of the census
arbitrarily “‘95tim3t9d" the population
now to be 1.719.623. Admitting that
our population has'considcrztbly in-
creased since 1910. due chiefly to the
demands of war industries for labor.
nevertheless the most reliable, ob-
tainable data indicate a. prcucnt popu-
lation of not exceeding 1.350.000.
These. data are available but for the
sake of brevity are not herein set
forth. The total registration in Con~
necticnt, made in occur-dance with the
provisions of the Registration Act,
was 159,890, but of that number
34,276 are married and have. depend-
ents as well.
