It Is the intention Of the war depart

out of each mans special occupation,
and his previous occupation will be
considered in assigning him to duty.
TO accomplish this, descriptive lists
of all drafted men will be made out
as soon as they reach their training
cantonments. They will contain an
abstract Of the life history Of the SOL
dier, showing what occupation he has
been engaged in On these, pre-
liminary classification can be made.
Sorting Out Process.
A process Of shifting and transfer
ing will ensue as the individuals are
sorted out. One man will be assigned
to transport trains, because Of his spe-
cial knowledge of horses, or motor
trucks, another to hospital work, be-
cause of previous training In that
line; another to aviation, because he
has worked with the gas engine; still
another to the artillery, because he
shows special ability in that line or
