deemed it necessary to have it ad-
ditionally published in pamphlet
form; so as to distribute not only to
the newspapers, but additionally to
supply every employer of labor,
every merchant and\ every planter
with pamphlet. The list will be
permanent for the duration of the
war, and will show the exact order
in which each registered man will
be called for service, permitting not
only the men to know, but also the
employers of labor and planters, and
each to be focus of distribution of
information. Getting this informa-
ton quickly to the young men of
school age will keep some from
abandoning their school work; to
older men it will be the means Of
keeping some at work who otherwise
due to unrest and uncertainty and
the expectancy Of being Immediately
called would resign good positions.
This ready information will tend to
stabilize industrial and commercial
employment, enabling both employer
and employee to estimate the ap-
proximate length of employment be-
fore being called for service.
