RED CROSS NOTES

to take up space with an itcmized re-
port.

sent in from Sinai branch some time
ago was accepted after due inspection.
Bruce branch sent in a large guam
tity of first class muslin dressings

us regularly high grade work in sur
gical dressings.
Argo township recently brought in
II hospital bedshirts beautifully made
Elkton sem in a number of dozens
of sheets. draw.sheets, pillow cases
and towels all carefully made.
Knitted articles are coming in every
day, but not fast enough when we
think how nearly winter is upon Us.
and how in a very few weeks it viii
be our boys who will be needing them.
We have made two shipments OF
knitted articles already and will send
in another just as soon as we can fill
a small box-by Saturday if o soon
err.
The Home Economics club at the
college have formed a working unit
to make unbleached muslin bandaeea.
They expect to fill a whole box by
Dec. /. This club adds about so more
workers, and we are most happy to
have their assistance.

NEW SELECTiVE DRAFT

New rules have been worked out for
the drafting of all further men needed
for u armies. knowledge has been
gained from study of first draft and
improvements have been made that
will simplify and expediate the work
ing of the next selection.
It's chief features are that every
registered man will know his exact
position and be able to arrange his af-
fairs accordingly and that no man
deemed necessary in an important in
dustry or needed at home to support
his family will be called to the cOlors
unless the military situation is desper-
ate.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
issued this statement:
with the completion of the draft Of
the first army of 6S7 900 men a new
system will be installed for the crea-
tion of succeeding armies, which will
greatly lessen the labors of the local
and district boards.
along with the reduction of labor
there will be provided a system which
will classify each one of the nine mil
lion of men who have not yet been
indicted into military service and
each man will have been given his
place in the national scheme Of de-
Tense.
ITO do this it has been determined
to obtain from each man complete in
formation of a character which will
definitely fix his economic worth as
compared with his fellow registrant.
and from the information thus OBJ
tanned, to place him in one of five
classes each to be called in turn as
the need arises.
THE method of obtaining this in
formation is through a question
naire', a series of questions calculated
to produce the information required.
This document will be mailed to every
registrant not yet in service, on a day
to be fixed, seven days being given to
each registrant to complete and re-
turn the same. Every opportunity VIII
be offered each man to complete ms
QUESTIONABLE fully and without error.
"The local boards will then examine
each QUESTIONABLE and assign each
registrant to one of five classes.
These classes will be based upon
every conceivable condition. from he
family or occupational standpoint, that
should properly be advanced by a man
desiring to be excused from military
duty. Glass one will be the first called
for physical examination and service
and when it is exhausted, if the ma
tion's needs are such as TO make II
necessary, class W will follow ana
thus each man registered Will ulu-
mately 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 SIM
plifed.
"The new system fixes a mans
class and calls him in his proper urn
when he Is needed. He will be ex-
amined physically only when needed
