THE regulations which will guide
the local boards in deciding who
will be exempt and who will not
after the names have been drawn for
the draft have been very comprehen-
Sively laid down by President Wilson.
Only 625,O0O men are to be called-an
army Of 100000 and 125,O0O reserves
but army officers argue that the addi-
tional men should know in advance Of
the likelihood Of summons to service.
After the selection has been made the
men will probably be called to the col
ors Sept. 1.
The regulations issued prescribe more
speedy work than had been expected.
Three days are allowed to the local
boards to make up their lists, ten days
for physical examinations and ten days
for hearing claims to exemption.
Call Not by Alphabet.
Those on the registration lists are
not to be called alphabetically, but seri-
ally. The cards turned over to the To-
cal boards are numbered consecutively
as received. Within three days after
this has been done notices are to be
mailed to the first third Of the list re-
quiring them to report for physical ex-
animation on the morning Of the fifth
day following, for the second third to
report on the sixth day and for those
remaining to report on the seventh day.
To make it possible to examine the
number of men who will appear in
such populous communities as New
York, for example, one examining
physician in addition to the one who
belongs to the local board is to be
named if the number to be examined
on any one day shall exceed eighty,
two if the number exceeds 120, with
others in like ratio. One member Of
the board other than the medical men,
Der must be present at each examina-
ton, and no member or physician may
serve where the person to be examined
is Of nearer kin to him by blood or
marriage than second cousin.
A registered man who may be alb
sent from his home area on the day he
was notified to appear must make ap-
plcation. supported by satisfactory
proof" for examination before anoth-
er board. If a registered man is ill he
must give proof of this, one affidavit
at least coming from licensed physi-
clan, and in such cases the local board
may require examination by one Of it's
own physicians. Those who do not
furnish such proof within ten days are
to ''be recorded as physically qualified
Glasses Of Exemptions.
The regulations tell the circum-
stances in which persons may be eX-
empted. The classes include officers
states, territories and the District of
Columbia; ministers of religion, stu
dents Of divinity, persons in the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States, subjects of Germany residing
in the United States and all other
resident aliens who have not taken out
their first papers.
Emphasis is laid on the fact that
'the statement on the registration Of
any such person that exemption is
claimed shall not be construed or con-
sidered as the presentation Of claim
for exemption" These claims must
be made in the form of affidavits or
such other evidence as may be requir-
ed by the local boards within ten days
after the physical examinations.
Officers who may claim exemption
are defined as including ''any legisla-
tive, executive or judicial officer"
These must name and describe the
Offices they hold, the dates on which
they were elected or appointed and
when their terms Of Office expire.
Ministers who may claim exemption
must be "duly ordained" or regular"
They must file affidavits giving the
name Of church, religious sect or Or
ganization" in which they have been
ordained or to which they belong, Civ
ing the dates Of their ordination or the
beginning Of their ministry. Each affi-
davit must be accompanied by two
