FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
COME FOR SELECTION.
Henceforth, according to special
instructions wired the Cass selec-
ton boards from the adjutant gen.
| erals Office today, members will be
excused from service on these boards
only for the most urgent reasons. BY
Section of the selective draft law
persons designated to perform this
service are as effectively drafted for
this duty as are the registrants who
are selected for military service, say
the orders, and in case of refusal to
| serve after the governor has passed
upon and rejected a request for re-
lease, the case is to be reported to
i the nearest representative of the fed
eral department Of justice. These
instructions do not apply to mem
bers of boards who are to be remov-
ed under instructions from the war
department.
Local boards are required to keep
a docket Of every case called, and
every action taken in respect Of the
case.
NO CREDIT PERMITTED
TILL NAME Is REPORTED.
No board can receive final credit
on its quota for any selected man
until word has been received from
the military authority at the rem
devious or mobilization camp that
the man has been accepted into the
military service of the United States
& h. - n
will be exempted or discharged on
some will be rejected at mobiliza-
ton camp. The number of persons
passed by local boards who will be
discharged by district boards or at
mobilization camps is tentatively
estimated at ten per cent of those
passed by the local board. There
fore, local boards should continue
to call men up for examination until
they have apparently filled their
quota with ten per cent additional.
ADDITIONAL CALLS s
AFTER LIST EXHAUSTED.
Local boards have been ordered to
call 200 per cent of their quota for
examining. BY the seventh day after
this call is sent out all claims for
exemptions and discharges by men
called will be filed with the local
board. By examining the number
and character of these claims and by
considering the number Of persons
rejected physically, the board can
roughly estimate the number of
men that it will be necessary to call
to fill their quotas. Immediately
after making this estimate, the board
should send out call computed on
the experience of the first call. This
new call should be for enough men
to complete 10 per cent of the
quota.
The state department issues pass
ports to persons subject to draft
only when the application is &c
companied by permit by the pro-
vost marshal general to leave the
country. Until Aug. applications
for permits will continue to be made
to this office, but after that date
such application shall be made to
local boards. If the applicant is held
for military service, the district
board will refuse the permit for
passport unless convinced that the
absence will be merely temporary
and that the applicants number is
SO far down in the list that he could
not be included i'm the present draft.
If the applicant for passport appears
for examination and is exempted,
the war department has no objection
to the issuance Of passport. No
passports are required by the state
department to go to Canada, but
persons subject to draft who attempt
to cross the line may be subject to
delay unless provided by permit
from local boards to go to Canada
temporarily, which may be issued
for a definite time upon the applt-
cant's furnishing his Canadian adj
dress and agreeing to Keep his local
hoard INFORMED of his whereabouts.
Service in Red Cross ambulance
companies is not military service
within the meaning of the law, and
is not al valid claim for exemption or
discharge.
MAY GIVE EXAMINATION
BEFORE THE FIXED DATE.
Physical examinations at the re-
quest Of the registrant and in the
discretion of the board may be CIV
en- before the day set in his call, but
this procedure shall not abridge the
time prescribed in regulations with
in which claims of exemption or dis
charge may be fled.
Persons registered in two juris-
dictions may have one registration
Cancelled, but he Is. not given au-
thority to choose. There is only one
proper registration and that is the
one at his domicile. 1t is only regis
trations at other places that can be
cancelled under Section 30. II no
move is made to cause such can
collation., the person must answer TO
the board that first calls him.
There is no provision IN the law
under which medical students can
- n~nrr1nfad or discharged.
