 Washington, Nov. 15. - The five classes Into which 9,000,00O men regis tered for military duty-and those who are registered hereafter-are defined and the order in which they will be called for service were officially an nounced in the provost marshal gen erals questionnaire which every regis tered man must fill out and file. The order shows some change from the tentative draft published some time ago.
 Contrary to some published reports, 1t does not exempt married men as class, but it does place married men with dependent wives and children far down on the list of fables.
