CHANGES IN DRAFTING svsTEM

Nine Million Remaining Res'strants
Will ee Divided into Five cIasses.
Washington.-A sweeping change
in the machinery Of the selective
draft. based on division Of the 9.000.'
900 remaining registrants into five
classes In order Of their eligibility for
military service, was announced by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Details Of the plan, which has been
approved by President Wilson. are
not disclosed. It IL calculated, how
ever, to do away with virtually all the
complicated machinery Of the first
draft. The plan was worked out at
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the
various state authorities.
Its chief features are that every reg.
istered man will know his exact posi-.
ton and be able to arrange his affairs
accordingly and that no man deemed
necessary in any important industry
or needed at home to support his fam
lily will be called to the colors unless
the military situation is desperate.
