COMMENDATION BY
GENERAL CROWDER
When the Army appropria
tion bill was before the U. S.
Senate an amendment to the
bill was made which provided
for the appointment of Major
General E. H. Crowder as
Lieutenant General. The vote
in the Senate for this amend
ment was practically unani
mous. In declining this honor
General Crowder gave expres
sion to his appreciation of the
services of the Local Draft
Boards. In order that the
members of these Boards may
read the commendation and
have this example of patriot
ism before them the following
is published:
j tions are received, the aggr
gate will approach 3,000,000.
Of the members of these
boards it may be truly said 1
that when the selective service
system which they administer
ceases to function efficiently
to produce the military and to
conserve the industrial man
power, we shall be in a fair
way to lose this war. I have
long entertained the view that
something ought to be done to
recognize publicly and em
phatically the enormous sacri
fices these citizens have made
in bestowing the continuous j
and exhausting service that
has been indispensable in car
rying the administrative bur
den of the selective service
system. The difficulty has
been in devising a suitable re
ward, nation wide in its appli
cation, and acceptable gener
ally to those who have so par
ticipated. At the risk of being
regarded as ungrateful to the
proposers of this provision, I
cannot bring myself to be sat
isfied that my own conscien
tiously performed share in dis
charging that duty should be
come the subject of recogni
tion, so long as the far greater
share of these other builders
of the National Army remains
without public and distinguish
ed acknowledgement in the
records of Congress.
These men, my fellow work
ers, thir toils, their sacrifices,
and their achievements, are
next to my heart. On this sub
ject, I frankly confess to a deep
sentiment—I hope that it will
not be reckoned as sentimen
tality — a sentiment which
would not receive unalloyed
satisfaction from the bestowal
of any honor, however gener
ous, that is personal to myself
only.
In placing before you at this
time these sincere convictions,
I trust that I have adequately
expressed the motive that
prompted this letter.
Cordially and gratefully yours,
E. H. CROWDER,
Provost Marshal General

Hon. Geo. E. Chamberlain,
United States Senate.
My dear Senator Chamber
lain : In view of that provision
of the Army appropriation bill
personal to myself, now pend
ing before the conference com
mittee, it is unavoidable that
I should take this opportunity
to lay before you and also Mr.
Dent, chairman of the House
conferees, my personal senti
ments, and to ask you to com
municate them, if you see fit
to your associates.
That the provision in ques
tion involves a compliment and
a distinction which I value .be
yond anything in my military
career is natural; and that the
approval testified to by the
vote of the Senate gratifies me
beyond the power of words to
express a simple statement of
fact.
But after considerable re
flection and viewing the matter
in a broad way, I am reluctant
to allow the consideration of
the proposed proviso to pro
ceed any further. If the con
ferees are in accord with my
wishes in this regard, I should
be glad if you, for the Senate
conferees, and Chairman Dent,
for the House conferees, in re
oorting back to your respective
Houses that the Senate confer
ees yielded on this provision
would say that the action was
in accord with my request and
for the express reason next to
be stated.
Forty-eight States and three
Territorial headquarters and
nearly 6,000 local and district
boards, with an aggregate
membership of nearly 18,000
citizens, assisted by legal and
medical .advisory boards in
every jurisdiction, have coop
erated with the national head
quarters efficiently and honor-;
ably, and many without com
pensation, in the superb team
work which has produced the
gratifying results attained un
der the selective service law.
These results embrace the reg
istration of more than 10,500,
000 of citizens and their classi
fication for military service,
and the entrainment of the
nearly 1,600,000 men now serv
ing with the colors. By Au
gust 1, of this year this latter
number will be approximately
2,000,000 and by the close of
the year, if expected requisi
