A copy of the QUESTIONABLE to be
mailed within few days to all men
registered for military service, and
who may be called by the next draft
which they will be required to fl
out in accordance with instructions
and return within seven days from
the time received, has arrived.
Failure to Sign the QUESTIONABLE
is a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine or Imprisonment for one year
and may result in the loss of val
liable rights and in immediate in
duction into military service.
The five classes into which nine
million men registered for military
duty-and those who are registered
hereafter-are divided and the order
in which they will be called for SER
wee are shown.
The order shows some change
from the tentative draft published
some time ago.
Contrary to some published re-
ports, it does not exempt married
men as a class, but it does place
married men with dependent wives
and children far down on the list of
tables. In fact, the qucstionnaire
indicates that only men of the first
class will be called to the colors ex-
cept in the gravest emergency.
The five official classifcations Of
registrants follow:
CLASS I.
A.-Single man without depend
ent relatives.
B.-Married man, with or without
children, or father of motherless
children, who has habitually failed
to support his family.

wife for support.
D.-Married man, with or without
children, or father of motherless
children; man not usefully engaged,
family supported by income indie
pendent of his labor.
E.-Unskilled farm laborer.
F.-Unskilled industrial labOrer.

B.-Married man, without chill

the sheriff gave chase, and over
took his prize 20 miles west of
Chevelon creek. Twelve cases
of whiskey was captured, also
one case of beer and a small lot
of other stuff. The car has
been known to make several
trips before. The sheriff instit-

foregoing result. The parties
were lodged in Jail. They claim
