 FROM GERMANY

ATHENS, Greece, Correspondence of Associated Press)-Greek authorit- ies have received information which convinces them that not alone the Turk but his German advisors were for the deportations of Greeks from Turkish dominions, as a consequence of which 100000 have suffered persecution or death.
 It is asserted that the Greek lega- tion at Constantinople protested to the then King Constantine of Greece from the beginning of the deportations but received no assistance or encour- agement from him. The legation then lodged a protest with Talaat Bey, the Turkish Grand Visier.
 His reply, as shown by official pa pers was that these measures are taken by advice of our German ad- visors." The Greek legation then took up the subject with the German General, Liman yon Sanders, who is declared to have replied that the pres ence of the Greek committees within the Ottoman Empire was dangerous to military operations and that he was ''only executing the orders of the German General Staff"

The following announcement IS made by the office of the Provost Mar shal General:
 With the completion of the draft of the first army of S7,000 men a new system will be installed for the ere ation of succeeding armies, which will greatly lessen the labors of the local and dictrict boards. So far has this been accomplished that it is believed that under the new system 80 per cent of the work will be eliminated. while the forms to be used will not exceed 20 ill number as compared with approximately 1S2 forms which the present system requires.
 Will Classify Each Man.
 Along with the reduction of labor there will be provided a system which will classify each one of the 9,000,000 men who have not yet been inducted into military service, and each man will have been given his place in the national scheme of defense.
 To do this it has been determined to obtain from each man complete infor- nation of character which will de- finitely fix his economic worth as con- pared with his fellow registrants, and from the information thus obtained to place him in one of five classes, each to be called in turn as the need arises.
 The method of obtaining this infor- nation through questionnaire, ser es of questions calculated to produce the information required. This docu- ment will be mailed to every regis trant not yet in service on day to be fixed, seven days being given to each registrant to complete and re- urn the same Every opportunity will be offered to each man to com plete his questionnaire fully and with out error.
 Classes to be Called in Order.
 The local boards will then examine each questionnaire and assign each registrant to one of five classes.
 These classes will be based upon every conceivable condition, from the family or occupational standpoint, that should properly be advanced by man desiring to be excused from military duty. Class 1 will be the first called for physical examination, and service end when it is exhausted, if the Ma tons needs are such as to make it necessary, class will follow and Jus each man registered will ulti- :nately take his place if needed.
 Every opportunity for appeal from such classification by the local board has been retained and perfected, but proceedings have been greatly simpll- fled
 Tedious Work Eliminated.
 The tedious work of the local boards has been practically eliminated by le production of a form to be known $ No 1000, which will be the founda-
 Ion stone of the new system. Thru it's use all the laborous work of mak- ing posting lists has been eliminated All of the old docket sheets and rec.

NEW SYSTEM FOR CALL ING DRAFTED MEN
 WILL CLASSIFY ALL s ELECTIVES AND MAKE
 WORK OF LOCAL FIX EMPTION BOARDS EASY

ords will be made unnecessary and by arrangements of it's columns the work of the local board will be reduced to ! minimum.
 On this new form the complete his tory of each mans case will appear 1t a glance beginning with his or der number and ending with his in- duction into a military camp, while at the close of each days work the To- cal board is enabled to complete in a few minutes with a rubber stamp what has hitherto taken hours to complete. The system is such that it will present each case almost auto matically to the local board.
 Overcome Many Problems.
 The completion of the new system will solve problems which have con fronted the Provost Marshal General and caused him much concern.
 One of the most serious of these has been keeping together the great organization of the local and district boards which, from a numerical view point, is of the strength of an Army division; many of these officials have been clamoring for relief on account of the drain on their time, and the new system will make it easily possi- blefor them to continue their duties for which they have proven them selves eminently fitted.
 Another problem solved was the examination of the entire registry, thus fixing each mans status. This would have involved a medical exam inaticnof each man, whose physical condition might change from day to day, thus making this great undertak- ingvalueless.
 Again, under the old system of exemption and discharge it would have been necessary if the national need required it to send for the exempted man to return for physical reexamin- ation, while in the meantime his in- dustrial or family status mgiht have changed. thus involving endless ap- peals and confusion.
 Examined Physically When Needed
 The new system fixes mans class and calls him in his proper tura when he is needed He will be examined physically only when needed. Thus, the labors of the medical officers will be called for only when required. If the Nation needs half million of men they will respond each in his turn fix ed by his class.
 The man who can least be spared either as the head of family or the head of a business necessary to the defenseof the Nation will be the last togo
 The new plan is being made ready for the printer and will be submitted to the local and district boards in am pie time to enable them to familiarize themselves with it and thus approash their next draft with thorough knowl- edge of it's requirements.
 E. H. CROWDER,
 Provost Marshal General.
